For example, I allow for scaling the map and having a free-moving camera in Silver Prophet. Those are not features that I included in this tutorial.

It is #screenshotsaturday, and I want to share something new this week. If I do work on a tutorial, it will be on A Summoner&#8217;s Tale. I do want to add an Android project before going much further. Also, I want to expand the editor to save and load maps. I will try to have a tutorial on one of those topics in the next few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My Projects<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It feels like my only projects are my tutorials. I need to change that, though. I need to make some headway on Shadow Monsters. I&#8217;m just a little stuck on the content part. I need to create Shadow Monsters that match my game assets. I don&#8217;t know how I want to tackle that. Well, I have a general idea. However, I need to define it better before I start throwing code around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since going on Christmas break, I&#8217;ve been on fire. I&#8217;ve made all kinds of progress on tutorials and my projects. However, I&#8217;m worried that I won&#8217;t be able to keep up the pace and burn out again. To that end, I might slow down a bit on the tutorials. I might drop them down to one a week rather than several a week. That may length them, but it is worth the extra work as long as you read them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have just published tutorial 04 in my Eyes of the Dragon 4.0 tutorial series.
