So, I had more time on my hands yesterday than I had anticipated. For that reason, I decided to work on the following tutorial in my MonoGame RPG tutorial series Eyes of the Dragon. This tutorial continues with real-time combat. It covers mobs attacking the player. Also, I demonstrate how to heal the player over time. The mob combat is a little biased toward attacking left and right. It is something that will be addressed in a future tutorial. You can find the tutorial on the Eyes of the Dragon<\/a> page of the blog. Also, you can use this direct link<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s Next?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Up next are spells and talents. As I mentioned in a previous article, I will use a hotkey system to launch spells and talents. For that tutorial, I will be using just the single talent or spell and attach it to the 1 key. Once I have added multiple spells and talents, I will have a mechanism for assigning them to hotkeys. That may be the tutorial after the current one that I am working on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I have time today, so I will be working on Forest Rush. I will be designing the game over graphics and tightening up the collision detection code. Also, I need to implement a basic options screen for sound. I hope to submit it to the Google Play Store today. Once that is done, I will start porting it to Windows, both Windows Store and through my own distribution system. After that, I will begin to work on another casual game. I think it will be a single-player collectible card game. If that works out, I will look at porting it to a multiplayer collectible card game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

It has been great publishing two tutorials on the same number of days. It has done wonders for my mood, and I like seeing the tutorials on my blog growing. I might work on a third tutorial today. After that, we will see how I feel and how much time I have for extra-curricular activities. So, I encourage you to keep visiting my blog for the latest news on my tutorials and other goodness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good luck with your game programming adventures!
