I have been developing games and mods for 7 years, 11 if you include Scratch projects. I know how to make a solid foundation for games, expand games without sacrificing performance, and add in systems... to make development as easy as possible. From creating a tile system to collision to enemy behaviour and more, I've done just about everything a game needs. My framework of choice is FNA/MonoGame using C#, which gives you a lot of freedom to make what you want, how you want it. This course will include the basics of both FNA/MonoGame and C# if needed as well. Personally, I find that the framework of a project is the hardest thing to do, excluding polish. It's a very big mountain to climb, especially for beginners who might struggle in knowing what to do and where to go. I know I did. So, I'll make sure to teach, explain and showcase these major steps in making a game (or mod). Once you get that ball rolling, it is deeply motivating!read more

Hello everyone! I'm Gabriel Guevara, a game developer, artist, programmer, sound designer, writer, and more for over 7 years now. I've been primarily a modder, with Terraria being my favourite game t... o mod. It's really helped me understand how to make games, how to work with others, and most of all, how to hone my skills. It's also helped me meet, and more relevantly, teach new and more people. I've been teaching people how to mod since 2018, from basic programming, to complex code, to art, to music. It's deeply fulfilling to see people succeed in all facets, and I strive to make people learn, develop and expand their passions. I've tutored some really good artists I work with on how to program, and vise-versa - and they grow so much because of it. Hopefully, I can help you achieve that as well.read more
