The tutorial is on my blog&#8217;s Eyes of the Dragon 4.0 page.

For that reason, I will either do a quick Forest Rush tutorial or a similar tutorial to this one for A Summoner&#8217;s Tale. I mean adding an encounter layer to A Summoner&#8217;s Tale. Of course, it would have to have monsters and other characters to battle. But, using a similar principle, it should be doable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My Projects<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Shadow Monsters is kicking up a fuss. I had the whole day off and didn&#8217;t spend an iota of time with her. She is threatening to file for divorce again, saying I spend more time with my cat than with her. I have managed to calm her down, though. I promised she would get some prime Cynthia time tomorrow, and I meant it. So, I likely will not work on a tutorial tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It was nice to see a new tutorial go up today. It wasn&#8217;t as long as others, but it was important. Moreover, it laid a good foundation upon which to build upon. I did use reflection again. It is just so easy to work with. I don&#8217;t know why I avoided it so much for so long. Anyway, I will be back tomorrow with another episode of game programming adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\">Cynthia<\/mark><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have just finished tutorial 14 in my MonoGame RPG tutorial series on my Google Drive.
