My First Game - Open Solitaire Classic (an open-source solitaire game written from scratch)


I was playing Stardew Valley and learned that it was the creation of one developer. That impressed me, because I really thought that it would take a big team to come up with a decent game like that.

So I started doing research into game development, found out that he used XNA, and that MonoGame was the cross-platform replacement for XNA. As someone who used Linux for several years before switching back to Windows to do music production, I have a soft spot for Linux and the open-source community.

I started taking this class on Coursera to learn MonoGame, and found it a bit boring for my tastes, what I really needed was a project to work on. While I obviously want to create totally original games that are fun to play, I needed to assess my skills to figure out what my options were.

For some reason my Microsoft Solitaire game broke and something clicked and I thought, I could write a solitaire game from scratch. What I liked about the project is that it is challenging to code but pretty well-defined gameplay. So I wasn’t going to fall victim of scope creep.

Anyway, my game is pretty much done, I just have to polish up a few things and then I’ll be ready for the 1.0 release.

Please download and play and let me know what you think. And if you are a developer, I invite you to take a look at my source code :)

Hi everyone! I started to create some environment props for my new video game, here is a cozy house in the forest. I'm planning to switch from Unity to Unreal... Let's see what new challenges I have to face. Made in Blender and Substance Painter.

Spaaaace~

These are background sprites I've created for a game I'm working on at school ^w^ Click on the post to see how the sprites connect. You won't regret it! (personally, I think it's pretty heheh)

Let me introduce you to the new Mech line: Gendai Spec. Those are Mech that specializes in surprise attacks, covered operations, and stealth. They are equipped with melee weapons but one of Gendai's frames supports sniper rifles.

Development of my game Juno. This is the rune equipment system.
