Learn MoreI have started work on tutorial 6 in the Eyes of the Dragon tutorial series. This tutorial is about creating the editor for building worlds.

Thanksgiving was nice, but smaller. There were half as many people as normal thanks to COVID-19. We did have the other half join virtually over zoom and my sister delivered their turkey dinners before hand. Yesterday was an off day. I just couldn’t focus on anything. I puttered on my editor for Silver Prophet and […]
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 […]

I’ve been working on tutorial 25 in the Shadow Monsters MonoGame tutorial series. I’m about two thirds through it. I will definitely finish it up tomorrow if not later today. 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 […]
