Space Shooter Content Series

The Content Series for the Space Shooter Complete Game is now up! This is a temporary URL so do not save it for later.

Download Me - 200 MB zip file.

Contains:
3 Video Tutorials - Player, Bullet, and Enemy sprites
3 PSDs - Player, Bullet, and Enemy sprites
2 Sprites Folders - Tutorial results, and original sprites.

This file WILL be deleted once the development series is complete, along with this blog post. At that point, I will combine both series into one giant zip and make a new blog post. So download this file if you can still see this post!

Space Shooter Update

Content series will be uploaded tomorrow (25), but the development series is a little behind. People are requested some interesting extras, so I am now at 6 extra tutorials. Also, there will be a surprise waiting for you in the Resources folder.

I am shooting for the 30th to be the final date.

Space Shooter Release Date, and Update Paddles for XNA 3.1?

Please comment if you would like me to update the paddles game for 3.1 and if you want something added to it. If enough people comment, I will update it. If not you should skip it and watch the Basic Training instead.

The release date on the Space Shooter videos will be January 30, and will include some extras.

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a nice 2009. Everyone here at PHStudios wishes you a happy new year!

Special Holiday Release

Holiday Release

I hope everyone is having a nice holiday! I have released a special podcast episode for the holidays. I explain what is new on the site, what will be new in the next few weeks, and what will be new in 2010. I have also released a special tutorial from the next tutorial series: Space Shooter. This tutorial will be the very first tutorial from the series, and will cover how to create a nice sprite for the space shooter game like you see below:

Upcoming Advanced Techniques Tutorial and Space Shooter Videos

Now that finals are over, I can get back to work here! There have been a few people that have wanted to control the menu system with the mouse, so I have made a quick sample on this here. This is not the code, just the executable. I will release a tutorial shortly.

As for the Space Shooter video tutorials, expect those to be released around Christmas time if I get everything set up properly.
