Tutorial Two uploaded

I have just uploaded Tutorial Two in the Shadow Monsters series. Head over to the MonoGame page to give it a read.

Tutorial Two Progress Update

I did a fair amount of work on tutorial two yesterday and made a lot of progress. In this tutorial I cover adding a sprite for the player to control and move around the map. I hope to wrap it up today. Stay tuned for more MonoGame goodness.

Mental health break

I had to take a mental health break but I'm back now and the first tutorial has been uploaded. Head on over to the MonoGame Tutorials page to read it!

I've already started work on part two which I hope to finish over the wèekend. Check back for more information. Also, if you have suggestions on topics you'd like to see covered please leave a comment.

I'm back

Sorry for being away but it was unavoidable. I'm still trying to figure out how to host the tutorials and projects. Once I have I will post links. I'm also trying to figure out how to get pages to work on Blogger so I can have lists of tutorials instead of just on posts. Stay tuned while I figure out these technical details.

Tutorial Uodate

I've been working like a mad woman and I am close to having my first tutorial ready to be posted. There are just a few things to work out. It is part of a series on creating a Pokemon style game with the MonoGame framework. Why MonoGame instead of Unity? Well, I find that I have a finer degree of control with MonoGame and I like having access to the source code if I want to extend the framework. One way that I have extended it in the past is to extend the content pipeline to handle custom data types for importing into my games.

So, stay tuned. I hope to have the first tutorial online today or tomorrow at the latest.

Welcome to my new blog!

On this blog I will talk about my passion; game programming. I will be starting with MonoGame but will be expanding to other areas. My first series will be on creating a Pokemon style game. In my web series I will be creating a text based MMO.

Stay tuned for the first episode!
