Pokemon inspired tutorial series using the MonoGame framework.
Learn MoreEyes of the Dragon is top down RPG tutorial series based on the MonoGame framework.
Learn MoreWell, the easy part is done. I’ve finished 99.5% of the coding. The hard part will be the demo this morning because I’m not so great at talking in front of people. I have always dreaded it. Still, it has the potential to have a huge impact on our users. So for that reason, I’m […]
As the title says, I have a big meeting on Monday to discuss a prototype I’ve been working on. If it goes well, it will bring an editor from twenty-five years ago into the present. I’ve been working on finishing it. I still have a lot to go, but I’m confident I will finish before […]
I took a few days off to talk with people instead of computers. It was a nice change. Not once did I talk about game programming. Once writing came up but not what I usually wrote about. I enjoyed being under the radar. I’ve had enough, though. I’m ready to return to what I love […]
Well, it was dark. It was later in the evening, so it was to be expected. Okay, all joking aside. I have been very busy with my Shadow Monsters game. That, and work today, of course. I have made some good progress on Shadow Monsters. More on that later. I took a break from tutorials, […]
I have just uploaded, a rather lengthy, tutorial that covers the beginnings of the battle engine. I would have gone further, but it was already thirty pages. Also, I didn’t get to creating shadow monsters and triggering a battle. For the latter, I need the former. I felt I needed shadow monsters besides the test […]
I have just uploaded tutorial 11 (part 17) in my A Summoner’s Tale tutorial series to my Google Drive. This tutorial begins with adding shadow monsters and their moves. In the following tutorial, I will add actual combat between shadow monsters. As always, you can find the link to the tutorial on the A Summoner’s […]
I was working on the next A Summoner’s Tale tutorial this morning and this evening. Unfortunately, I really over-complicated something, but I don’t want to delete it because it is beautiful. That, or I spent so much time on it, it would feel like a waste. So, I’m going to leave it in because it […]
I started working on tutorial seventeen in my A Summoner’s Tale tutorial series. This tutorial begins work on the combat engine, allowing battles between two shadow monsters. This combat is like the retro-pokemon games, where it is one-on-one battles. Unless, of course, it was a trainer battle where you could have up to six pokemon. […]
I have just finished uploading and updating my site’s Forest Rush 3.8.1 page with the newest tutorial, part 3 – Not Walking on Air. It adds a tile engine to the game, so the player’s sprite is not walking on air. Well, they still are because I haven’t implemented collision detection. They just can’t fall […]
I have uploaded two new tutorials, albeit they are similar to my Google Drive. They continue with conversations in the game. You can find them on the blog’s A Summoner’s Tale and Eyes of the Dragon 4.0 pages. Also, you can find A Summoner’s Tale here and Eyes of the Dragon 4.0 here. What’s Next? […]
