I have decided to publish MonoGame RPG tutorial 54 now rather than adding more content to it. This tutorial fixes the health\/mana\/stamina bug and redesigns the screen to display character stats. I decided to publish it now instead of waiting until I added more content because I’m not sure when I will have the chance to add more content. Also, I didn’t want to start a topic worthy of a tutorial on its own. You can find the link to the tutorial on the Eyes of the Dragon<\/a> page of my blog. Also, you can use this direct link<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s Next?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the moment, I’m not sure what will be next as far as tutorials are concerned. However, I am thinking of replacing the combat with real-time combat instead of turn-based combat. I believe that is something that readers would enjoy. I would also implement an A* pathfinding algorithm for it. For that, though, I would have to make some changes to the test map to include some varied terrain. That wouldn’t be the hardest thing in the world to do. If I went that route, I would update health\/mana\/stamina to increase over time. Again, not the hardest thing in the world. The more I write about it, the more I believe that is what I will do next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I do want to work on fun projects for myself. I have the endless runner that I have been working on that I would like to finish. I just need some sound effects and to design some graphics. Though it is hard to get used to the eye patch, I am experiencing that it is easier to work on the computer. My eye doesn’t get near as tired from squinting all the time. It will be even better when I get glasses that make the text clearer. So, expect my endless runner on Android and PC soon. I will, of course, announce when I release it on the blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to post a more extended tutorial. However, I also really wanted to post a new tutorial. For that reason, I posted the shorter tutorial now rather than waiting for a meatier tutorial. I plan to release a meatier tutorial next weekend, depending on how my follow-up appointment on my eyes goes. If it is another marathon appointment, I might not have the time. So, I encourage you to keep visiting the blog for the latest news on my tutorials and other goodness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good luck with your game programming adventures!
