Want to know how to make a 50 Shades of Grey game using MonoGame.......well we've got you smothered, we mean covered, with our 2D Shader tutorial!! This builds nicely upon the existing 2D Tutorial and is available here - docs.monogame.net/articles/tut...

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH github.com/settings/cop...

@tompaana.bsky.social Hi, I recently ported your MotoTrials XNA game to MonoGame & contacted MS about the Nokia license, but never heard back. I don't want to get into any legal trouble, as it says it's "only for Windows Phone". I'm also porting the MatchemPoker game too, but that license is ok.

Here's how it turned out! Thanks for the help!

Here's a short DevLog about the changes I've made to the improve the lighting in BTTYEngine and by extension Voxel Shooter - www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYYV... itch page coming soon and will be here - softsavage.itch.io/voxel-shooter #MonoGame

v0.2.0-alpha of Messiah is available from softsavage.itch.io/messiah/devl... New: Terrain variation (simple river, trees, a hill - like a faded yellow ball) GamePad support on all platforms. @bsky.app login support. You need 15 or more followers, or you won't be worthy 😜😂 Give feedback🙂 #MonoGame

Who of my @bsky.app brethren will I save next? @aristurtle.bsky.social , @monogame.net , @thomas.flying-oak.com or @reforgedengine.bsky.social Sadly 2 others have already perished. #MonoGame #MessiahGame

They intend to do what Steam has already been doing on the Deck: caching shaders on their servers and delivering that cache when downloading games. This could very well be generalized to other systems. (Steam does a lot of invisible stuff to save devs asses, we don't talk enough about this.)

After updating @GarethIW's VoxelShooter demo to use MonoGame 3.8.x, I've since made the voxel engine game agnostic (BTTY Engine) and added quite few new features. Watch this and read the video description for more details: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAm7... Sponsor me on GitHub :)

I kind of dropped off twitter when everything thing happened and quit checking it. The feed was just never the same I haven’t really used Bluesky too much, but I’d like to get back that feed and community of people to engage with. So any #MonoGame developers out there? What are you working on?

Co-operoids now has a Web Demo available!🥳 Read more about it infinitespace-studios.itch.io/co-operoids/... #BuiltWithMonoGame

Updated Gareth Williams' Voxel Shooter demo to MonoGame 3.8.5 . Now works on macOS, Linux (not tested) and Windows, but also had it running inside the Android emulator (iOS not tested yet). Here's the Desktop version running on Windows. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ebF...

Over the weekend I updated the old Racing XNA demo, originally by Benjamin Nitschke then ported by Dean, over to MonoGame 3.8.5. It's not perfect (shader issues) but it is running. Desktop/Windows: youtube.com/watch?v=_iLW... Android: youtube.com/watch?v=wkyN... Code: github.com/CartBlanche/...

@msftgamedev.bsky.social is there anyone I can talk to about the license on github.com/microsoft/moto-trial-racer-wp? It's restricted to "Microsoft Mobile devices" which no longer exist, repo is read-only so can't raise an issue. Just trying to sort out my MonoGame fork github.com/CartBlanche/...

New Blog post on how to get crisp pixels using MonoGame infinitespace-studios.itch.io/co-operoids/... #MonoGame

About 14 years ago I wanted to show how to take existing XNA/MonoGame samples, Chase & Evade & Boids/Flocking, & use them in a simple game. I only just got round to writing an MVP focused on gameplay. Download (mac, Win, Lin Androi) v0.1.0 for FREE from softsavage.itch.io/messiah #BuiltWithMonoGame

I've been working on adding a little more polish to the Cards Starter Kit. Shadows, sounds, gameplay hints system (turn off-able) and sexier animations. Still a couple more things to fix and polish, but it's nearly there, IMO. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjgf... #BuiltWithMonoGame #MonoGame

I've really admired how Kat has ran her campaign, and I think she has a bright future ahead of herself! Since AIPAC is funding her opponent, I wanted to share my enthusiasm about her, and maybe one of you out there will find out you like her too :) youtu.be/g75CAT3bGk4?...

This is looking SOOO good!

#BuiltWithMonoGame back in the day!

Anyone remember the old Catapult Wars game? This is a LAN network sample - youtu.be/7kzoH… It also has a single player Vs (dumb) "AI" player option too. Link to repo and source code in the video description#BuiltWithMonoGamem#MonoGamem#XNAN#multiplayere#networkingn#LANAN

I've also been working on getting simple, LAN networking....working :). The XNA API mostly stays the same, but it uses modern Task<T> & is all .NET. Create, Find & Joining a session on your LAN works. github.com/CartBlanche/... . This might become it's own repo at some point. 1/3

My #MonoGame Samples repo - github.com/CartBlanche/... has finally been updated to MG 3.8.* & uses the new *.Core & Platforms layout. 27 2D samples 8 3D samples Physics & more Includes games like : Blackjack Card Game Starter Kit Flood Control Role Playing Game Starter Kit Pacman Tetris and others.
