My Game Programming Adventures including projects and tutorials
So, the drive in the laptop I spent the past few days working on died. I didn’t lose much but I lost some tutorial work. Fortunately I have this laptop and all of my source code was stored on GitHub so the work that I’ve done is safe. Still, it sucks and I’ll have to […]
Today I worked on Silver Prophet’s battle engine. It’s coming along nicely. I need to add attack animations yet but either side of the field can win or lose the battle. When a character is damaged the amount floats from the top of their head and fades to transparent. When they receive enough damage they […]
So, I’m working on Silver Prophet as my main project. It is going relatively well. I make progress every day and rarely get stuck for long. Right now the big problem is assets. I’m not a pixel artist by any means. I can do some basic graphic design but I don’t have an aesthetic eye. […]
I am now on Patreon for building Silver Prophet. I would appreciate your support in developing my game.https://www.patreon.com/synammon
I have just uploaded tutorial number 25 in the Shadow Monsters tutorial series that uses MonoGame. This tutorial covers how to capture shadow monsters. You can find the tutorial on the MonoGame tutorials page of the web site or you can use this direct link.

As I’ve mentioned this tutorial covers healing shadow monsters and capturing new shadow monsters from random battles. I’m in the process of creating a Patreon […]
I am sadly leaving the weekly game jam. I was just plagued by problems with my editors and made no progress towards having my demo done by the deadline. I’m keeping the code though and plan to finish the game eventually. It will be a 2D platformer. I might even use it for a new […]
I’ve made zero progress over the past day. I have my character on the map. She can jump but she warps to the ends of the map when she lands. I’m really discouraged by my lack of progress. I’m considering withdrawing from the jam and focus on my projects and tutorials. If I can’t make […]
I found out about a weekly game jam and I’m taking place. The theme for the jam is treasure hunt, which I can totally get behind. I’m creating a platformer with a female elf as the protagonist. She is well, a treasure hunter, hunting for the famed Flame Sapphire. She will battle her way through […]
I updated My Projects Page with my old XNA project Silver Prophet that I converted to MonoGame. It is a fantasy role playing game set in a world filled with angels, demons and other fantastic monsters. The back story is that the Silver Prophet foretold of a hero that would appear in the town of […]
