I'm currently creating an island prototype with MonoGame. Follow the process and give a like or two if you want to see it grow and give additional support ๐Ÿ’–

I've been busy with work lately. This week, Iโ€™ve only spent about 2 hours each night working on "Unit Building UI. I want to keep it simple and easy to understand.

Added the transition into the actual game! Well, right now, only the test level is implemented. More to come later!

I like it! And I also like the small tilt of the buttons. This makes it playful and funny. Keep it up!

Haha, I often played the classic version back in time. There is nothing more refreshing than beating your opponent with a handful of peons and a nice tower rush ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚ I never thought about hitting some NPC's along the way through... damn that's wild bro! ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘

Note to myself: buy more more physical disks to avoid big downloads or waiting for streams all the day... ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜…

They should produce more colorful shoes for adults. Espacially male adults. It's tiring to see always the same shoe styles and colors for men (leather brown, jeans blue, dark olive, etc) over and over again.

I tried to play this game yesterday via PC GamePass and Geforce Now, but the nvidia servers are so stressed out, it wasn't possible for me to get past the waiting queue (and it were only 5 people, lol).

I wish you much power and energy bro! May you can come back to your game project fast :)

I'm finally back from my beach holiday and guess what: the new vegetation type "Palm Tree" suddenly appeared on my island prototype! Lucky me.

Foliage Bending - Island Prototype 005-P1 ๐ŸŒž #monogame #gamedev
YouTube video by BlizzCrafter Foliage Bending - Island Prototype 005-P1 ๐ŸŒž #monogame #gamedev

I implemented Y-Stretching when an object walks vertically over grass. It now looks a bit like foliage-bending. On horizontal movement, grass will still *only* do the wobble effect.

I added some stones to the island to test Y-Ordering. At the end of the video you can see that the ordering works for (partly)submerged objects as well.

Awesome! I'm feeling honored that you said that you have learned something from me, hehe. I think you are way more skillful than me bro ๐Ÿ˜… Yeah, C# and Godot is a very nice combo. I would surly use this engine as well for a 3D game dev project. Maybe in the future :D
