@@johncogan8689 MonoGame fully supports VS2019. Name your Documents\Visual Studio 2019 to 2017 before install and then rename it back to 2019 and it will install and work.
Man, I think I'm gonna try out MonoGame. I'm currently using Unity but MonoGame looks like a cool framework to try out! Definitely on my to-do list for the month :)
Really great intro into Monogame, thanks. I'm an Unreal Engine developer, and I like it for the team projects I've been on, but it's overkill for personal needs. Been looking at Godot, Unity, etc. but I'm liking how stripped down Mono is. Would love to just roll something from scratch. Never really used C#, but it's always seemed versatile enough to me and shouldn't be hard to learn, as I'm coming in with Java and C++ experience.
Just realize that when someone says: "it just abstracts away all that - so you don't have to worry about it" - that just means that you're now going to be 100% reliant upon THEM to do that part of the code, and if their shit breaks - your stuff breaks too. You have just given away all your control over your own code. So just be warned. THAT is why you have to be careful about using 3rd party code libraries, like MonoGame. 01:34
Do you suggest building a framework yourself? Windows is also created by third parties, should they not be trusted either? and if the computer hardware drivers fail? And the hardware itself?
that's where it ends with monogame it is awesome for 2D, but when you try 3D you understand how you wasted your time 3D support in monogame is SHIT, better to use something else, xenko, unity, unreal, godot
@@Hoowwwww thing is you're comparing apples to oranges. Monogame is a framework, not a game engine. If you try to compare monogame to a fully fleshed out engine such as the ones you supplied even the 2d aspects of monogame would be considered "shit". Monogame is more for building your own custom engine on top, not giving you all the necessary tools to make a fully fleshed out game immediately.
Yeah, and unlike unity you have full control and ownership of your project. For example, you're not obligated to display a splash screen at startup with their brand name.
There's quite a few from the XNA times. (Stardew valley etc etc) Not everyone likes Code First, and those who do roll out their own things (Minecraft on pure OpenGL on Java iirc) There's nothing bad about it. It's more harder, but gives more freedom.
Why don't you just make a new 2D open source cross platform framework for games Microsoft. XNA was my first thing I used to make games and it was awesome.
Talks for 10 minutes about how easy it is to get started, and then jumps right into Visual Studio with the whole platform already installed, and the game already written and loaded and built. LOL Like WHAT? They literally skipped over 98% of the hard part. LOLOL

Awesome!! Microsoft made XNA originally and now is showing off MonoGame. Love Microsoft!!
I loved XNA, and I love MonoGame. The best things ever happened to hobby game developers.
I couldn't agree more, it's really a pleasure to develop games with it.
what's the difference between xna and monogame
@@prideneverdies1001 xna was created by microsoft and is not developed anymore. monogame is an actively developed open source reimplementation of xna.
oh thank you so much for taking your time answering@@k3nzngtn
ohhh thank you for answering
This is great- I shall be looking into MonoGame, as a developer that mainly focuses on C# and .NET, this excites me.
Man, I think I'm gonna try out MonoGame. I'm currently using Unity but MonoGame looks like a cool framework to try out! Definitely on my to-do list for the month :)
Learning curve
I'm starting to love this series. i'm just getting into C#
after years of JS and PHP development I recently started dwelling on C# and back to Java and honestly it feels like coming back home

hey, can i sell games made with monogame?
Didn't think we have Elon in the game industry.
Very good introduction to monogame. I previously worked with Lua and Löve2D and it's interessting to see the similarities.
I have a book on XNA on my bookshelf. So glad the legacy lives on!
there is something uplifting about just having a sprite that works, without the need to add boundaries around a Sprite.
XNA was great.

That’s true, still MonoGame is an open source game engine, which means you can get inside of it if you really need it
Do you suggest building a framework yourself? Windows is also created by third parties, should they not be trusted either? and if the computer hardware drivers fail? And the hardware itself?
You had me at no visual editor.
I love monogame
MonoGame has an active Discord community: discord.gg/monogame
"i love pac man"
"everybody loves pac man -.-"
Could you show how to make animation in MonoGame using 3D model made in Blender?
that's where it ends with monogame
it is awesome for 2D, but when you try 3D you understand how you wasted your time
3D support in monogame is SHIT, better to use something else, xenko, unity, unreal, godot
@@Hoowwwww Well you could always make your own 3d engine framework for monogame, but that takes way more effort than simply using another game engine

its like c# version of LibGDX
Elon Musk? Are you?
I think monogame is much better for me instead of unity. Glad this video exists
Yeah, and unlike unity you have full control and ownership of your project. For example, you're not obligated to display a splash screen at startup with their brand name.
There is something about doing things yourself, it's a real feeling of accomplishment.
elon musk covering mono game
It is dificult!!
MonoGame , linux editor -_- [Rip]
Thanks Elon
I dont think coding first is a good idea in game development, thats why there are not many complex games to showcase... atleast they open sourced it 👍
And editor first made this whole ocean of shit games appear :)) I think their showcase page just poorly updated.

what do you do first instead? beat your head against some horrible gui?
yes it'll work with VB lol.
