Nouvel extrait de dialogue du Serment de Haine, cette fois, avec la superbe interprétation d'Armelle Gallaud. J'ai tellement l'impression d'entendre la Sensei Kim de #cobrakai 🥰

La démo du jeu est disponible ici

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.

Mibo now has a better 3D renderer for (hopefully) 90% use cases you may run into when starting your dev journey in F#
From billboard, multiple lights/shadows, Quadbatch, and effects (bloom, post processing, etc)👇

I can haz stylesheet, meow!

ok, not much jet... but I ran over a element, check if there is a style rule and use it after conversion, then also check the xml properties for values.

#monogame #dotnet #serenehorizons #ui
In the image, a code editor is open in the background displaying both a CSS-like stylesheet and XML markup. In the foreground, there's a preview window titled "Serene Horizons" that visually renders the markup with the applied style. **Stylesheet (on the left – `serene_default.css`)**: The stylesheet defines visual styles for UI components in an XML-based interface: - `Panel.top-panel` and `Panel.bottom-panel` use properties such as `Padding`, `HorizontalAlignment`, `VerticalAlignment`, and `BackgroundColor`. - Text styling is defined for `TextBlock` elements with font settings (`Font: 'Fonts/arial 18'`), alignment (`Left`, `Center`), and text color (`#351D2E`). - General `Button` styling includes `Padding`, `BackgroundColor` (`#D9BBC4`), text color, and font (`'Fonts/arial_12'`). - A specific `Button.exit` style overrides the background color with `#B87A91`, likely to indicate a different or important function. **Markup (on the right – XML file, likely `test_page.ui.xml`)**: The XML markup uses a hierarchical structure with elements like `<Page>`, `<Panel>`, and `<StackPanel>`. It defines a vertical stack of buttons with labels such as "Settings Game" and "Exit". Layout attributes such as `Padding`, `HorizontalAlignment`, and `VerticalAlignment` are used to control UI positioning. Each button contains a `TextBlock` element for its label. **Foreground Window (UI preview titled "Serene Horizons")**: The window shows the rendered UI based on the provided XML and CSS: - A header displaying the text: "Hello from test_page.ui.xml" - A horizontal button labeled "Button" - A vertical menu in the center with four buttons: "New Game", "Load Game", "Settings Game", and "Exit" - A bottom bar with the same four buttons arranged horizontally - The UI has a consistent visual style with pastel-colored buttons, soft outlines, and purple text, reflecting the color codes and layout rules defined in the stylesheet

Born from the Soil now has a steam page and demo available!

If you haven't heard about it, it's a pulp fueled, post apocalyptic, action packed turn based squad tactics game!

It's harsh out there so consider dropping a wishlist

Oui, il y a pas mal de jeux connus qui ont été conçus avec MonoGame. Et c'est très bien adapté pour faire de petits jeux 2D (et plus ambitieux)

Celui qui en parle le mieux, c'est bien sûr @thomas.flying-oak.com, très calé sur le sujet 😀

"Breakout" but add magic spells, shops, and a village you have to help rebuild...naturally 🧱🔮 #Wizorb
Screenshot from Wizorb. A magic wand aims a fiery orb at some adorable little slimes. It's all worth it to save the village. Screenshot from Wizorb. Cyrus is talking to an NPC, there are cows above them, the NPC says "Those little cows are so cute! It would be a shame if they got lost and hurt themselves." Screenshot from Wizorb showing a shop where you can buy hearts, a magnet or magic potion. There's a little shop owner, he seems very friendly. Screenshot from Wizorb. A familiar figure made of bricks is bombarded by a magic orb in this brick-breaker style game.
