Colonies - XNA Game Demo

Colonies is a game I wrote for an English project using Microsoft XNA.

I did not create the tileset. If you are interested in it, you can find it here: http://opengameart.org/content/whispers-of-avalon-grassland-tileset

Looks great! How long did it take you to make this and how much experience do you have with XNA?

[FatalNeurotoxin]

@MAhooosive 5 days, and I have a good amount of experience using XNA for 2D graphics.

@FatalNeurotoxin Wow, that's really impressive. I'm trying to create a similar type of game but I'm having a few problems.. Are you working on any other games at the moment?

[FatalNeurotoxin]

@MAhooosive I'm currently working on a game engine for C++ and DirectX, I'm almost ready to be able to make a game with it.

@iChrisWebshow Maybe, but after I presented this, I abandoned the engine (although I still have the code...somewhere), developed Zephyr Engine 4 from the ground up over a period of 3 months, and used it for a game design competition. Now I'm writing a new engine, which uses unmanaged DirectX and native C++. But I haven't had any time to work on it lately due to school-related projects and an AP Chemistry entrance exam I have to take tomorrow.

@iChrisWebshow This was an English project we had to do in about 5 days, so we had the system for world events implemented in the code, but we never got around to actually putting them in the game itself.
