Discord!
I have just finished creating a Discord server for Game Programming Adventures. You can access it with the following link: https://discord.gg/UQSqxY6tR6. I’m hoping you can join and spend some time here. We can talk about the various forms of game programming and programming in general or just chat about anything. I’m having a bit of […]
Silver Prophet Update
I’ve been doing some work on Silver Prophet. It is going slow because it is more content creation than programming. I swapped the base tileset I was using for another that matches my sprites better. I haven’t update the interiors to match the exterior yet. I’m still using a tileset that I found on https://opengameart.org. […]

There is a chance that attacks miss. I haven’t implemented critical hits but it is on my planned features. What I […]
Weekly Game Jam 173 Update
I didn’t have near the time that I wanted this weekend to work on this. I have managed to get my map working in MonoGame, doors working and enemies spawning. I plan on starting spawning secret doors and combating enemies tomorrow. I’m hoping that I can manage to pull that off tomorrow and implement line […]
Weeklly Game Jam 173 – Secret Door
There is another weekly game jam that started today with a theme I can totally get behind, Secret Door. So, I’m doing a Rogue-like with secret doors. Hopefully I come up with some original game ideas over the next few days. I don’t have a map rendering in MonoGame yet but I have a map […]
