If I understand this correctly, Turning Point is essentialy the modern version of #Hitler Youth! You have to start the brain washing at a very young age. Just look at #Israel and how it views the world and it's neighbours!!

The milestone shows how quickly solar has moved from a small part of the grid to one of Europe’s most important energy sources. A powerful reminder: the future of energy is not far away. It is already rising with the sun.

I'm SOOO looking forward to it. I'll have to steal my son's Switch for a bit. I'm still waiting for Bloodborne 2, so this will have to do for now.

My MG-Samples repo has quite a few of the original XNA samples ported to work with the latest MonoGame - github.com/CartBlanche/... Maybe that helps, maybe it doesn't :) There should be some binaries available to download and play with, if you don't want to checkout the whole repo (it is quite big).

Not sure if this will be useful for you down the line, but I've been working on a *.Net replacement for MonoGame. It is in it's VERY early stages, but they idea is that 1 XNA/MonoGame like API will talk to the different store backends (Steam, EOS, iOS, Android etc). github.com/CartBlanche/...

Just saved 15% of CPU frame-budget by just caching a rectangle comparison into a bool. 😅 Whenever I audit code, most of the time performances are stuck into computations that could be cached once at load time. Second to that is devs not batching draw calls (it's more frequent than you think).

Yes those docs refer to the older OpenGL and DX11 etc backends. When the team completes the Vulkan and DX12 backends Wine should no longer be required. MG v3.8.5 is currently in preview.

010

softsavage.bsky.social @softsavage.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

Can you clarify about reduced shader functionality? Currently is SM 3 with OpenGL and it will be SM 6 one the Vulkan back-end for MonoGame is complete.

softsavage.bsky.social @softsavage.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

If you need pointers, just let me know. The default multi-platform game templates should get you started and using monopack will package everything up for distribution on macOS, Linux and Windows.

The 3 recent games (Royal Flush Rush, Messiah and VoxelShooter) I'm working on, all use MonoGame and are all multi-platform, running on macOS, Linux, Windows and Android (side-loaded) - softsavage.itch.io Each game has a centralised Core that handles gameplay and each platform references that Code.
