I am pleased to announce the launch of my fourth iteration of Eyes of The Dragon. In this new version, I will be following my game Silver Prophet. It uses an engine similar to my XNA game Eyes of the Dragon. In addition, it will offer a hybrid real-time combat engine. I have already published …
New Tutorial! A Summoner’s Tale 0A
Haha! I see what you did there. You used hexadecimal. Joking aside, I did want to use hexadecimal for numbering this series—no particular reason. Back to the important stuff. I’ve just uploaded tutorial ten to my Google Drive. As I mentioned previously, this tutorial adds the character generator and the main menu. Besides uploading to …
A Summoner’s Tale Tutorial 0A Status
What? 0A? Are you a little confused? No, I’m not confused. I decided to number the tutorials in hexadecimal. Please don’t ask me why. I don’t totally know. It was just a whim. Anyway, odd numbering aside. I did work on that tutorial a bit today. I am about half finished. I realized I would …
New Tutorial! A Summoner’s Tale Tutorial 09
Earlier today, I put tutorial 09 up on my site’s A Summoner’s Tale page. Unfortunately, I ran out of time and had to switch gears to work. This tutorial adds new controls for use in the editor and in the game. They are a selector that will cycle through items left and right. The other …

New Tutorial Series – A Summoner’s Tale
First, Happy New Year! Last month I did a lot of programming on my projects for a change. While it was very fulfilling, something was missing. I couldn’t put my finger on what it was. Then, just after I posted my last blog post, it hit me. I’ve missed writing! I have done some writing …

MonoGame RPG Tutorial 58 – Live
So, instead of working on my game last night, I started working on tutorial 58 in my MonoGame RPG tutorial series Eyes of the Dragon. Honestly, I expected it to take longer than it did. However, it turned out to be quite a brief tutorial. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the energy to post it after …
