I know what I am working on for the next, for the MonoGame RPG tutorial. I will be expanding spells and talents so that they are ready for the battle engine. Because I think you&#8217;ve had enough editors, for now, and I will create them through code instead of through an editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s Next<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, the next tutorial will be on effects, spells, and talents. Spells and talents are virtually identical and I could have combined them into a single class. Each spell or talent will have one or more effects associated with them. The types of effects are status, buff, de-buff, heal, and damage. A status effect will change the status of an entity to a state such as normal, poisoned, stunned, or paralyzed. A buff will buff the entity&#8217;s attributes or abilities in some way such as increased attack or magic damage. A de-buff is the opposite of buff and negatively affects an entity. A healing effect increases an attribute that has been damaged. Finally, damage effects decrease an attribute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My Projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Work on my projects has been preparing for teaching, my corporate website and to some small degree my games. Mostly, it has been on teaching and my corporate website. Also, I have been working on my social media pages. I&#8217;ve created them and have been populating them. I will be ready for the launch of Quintessential Duels on April 15th. Also, looking forward to finishing Quintessential Duels and moving on to Lost Fate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, it took a while to figure out where I&#8217;m going next with tutorials. It was worth the time though to make sure I would not have to go back and redo things. I will be working on it over the next few days. Keep coming back to the blog for the latest news on my tutorials and other goodness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, I figured it out!
