I wonder how Gareth's VoxelShooter demo would do in the browser?

Remember how during the Iraq war you saw every single move by the US army. Journalists were embedded with military teams. Why is this one so news poor? Are atrocities being carried out? With selective reporting, more than likely! Are things NOT going as planned. If someone isn't bragging, probably!!

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:

Way back in early 2000s I worked on 2 iso games.
Written in Delphi back then.
Siege of Avalon (this we recently updated and re-released on Steam) and Hero X :)

Love an isometric game. I only played one of the Ultimas, back in the day, but I loved other iso games like Syndicate, Diablo I and II and the quite a few others.

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?

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.

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.

Not sure how much time you have on your hands, but rather than having a central thruster, which looks weird when turning, I think having thrusters on both triangle tips, that fire when turning, would give it a nicer feel. Only a few more particles :)

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

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.

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 :)

We've had similar issues with the MonoGame project. But we've continued to keep everything, we can, free. I think from IP perpective OSS need to evolve and somehow incorporate a way to sign code (I know that sounds wierd), so it can be attributed back to 1 person/group. Then it's traceable.

I bet someone will last 24 hours in the 1st week. You could offer an prize to the person who last the longest after a month. This will get more people to try to play the game. Also bragging rights.
Maybe also add a treadmill, to the game, so that they have to incorporate exercise too.

Love this modern take on tamagochis. What I'd suggest is integrate Steam or similar, have a leaderboard and once the game is released, periodically post who's the leader.
