The Best Games Made with MonoGame [2021]

It’s time for another Ask Gamedev Game Engine Showcase! In this edition, we are visiting a game development tool that has been around for quite some time. We are talking about MonoGame, the open-source cross-platform game development framework. In our past videos, we've come across Monogame several times. This time we want to dedicate a full episode to it and see what the devs in the indie scene have created with this awesome tool.

Always nice to see more love for MonoGame.
I just wish it had more up-to-date tutorials so you don't have to dig up old XNA docs. 😅

The first clips you used for the Stardew Valley section is actually a game he is currently making called Haunted Chocolatier

[Challacade]

I'm a big fan of the channel, thanks for showing some clips from my MonoGame tutorial!

I had no idea that Stardew Valley actually used Monogame! It is amazing how much time the developer clearly put into it.

when you put up a video its always worth watching

Awesome video! Man I did not know about MonoGame even though most of the games mentioned here I know about. That is an interesting tool. I too started my game dev journey with XNA but since it was a frame work it was difficult to understand as a beginner. Any way really good video. Keep it up! :)

So glad you mentioned Celeste because it's the game that helped me improve my mental health 😌

[Skeffles]

It's great to see monogame projects!

[RoleyVideos]

I'd never heard of Monogame, I'll have to check it out.

I made a 3D game with XNA back in the day as a university project. Now that I'm trying to pick up game dev again I was considering Monogame, but it really doesn't look like anyone is doing 3D games with it (checked your video and their web site too that only shows a few interactive experience type things). I wonder if it's just too much work compared to other frameworks or if you can only do DX9/XBLA looking graphics with it. Guess I'll keep looking...

[StaredownGames]

Dang, son! Awesome collection! Never heard of Monogame! Dont let anybody tell you that you cant!

[guilhermewhite]

Love2d and lua engines/frameworks please!

[MrKlimcio]

4:43 damn, those YouTubers just don't check that Notifications tab on Twitter...

I loved chasm, thought it was a great experimental metroidvania. I think, I’m my opinion, it didn’t need to be an procedurally generated dungeon crawler though.

[BeerfootBandit]

Ask Gamedev, can you make a video showcasing indie custom game engines? I'm sure it will inspire alot of people

[mateufeu]

MonoGame creator's name pronounces José without changing the J to R because it is portuguese, not spanish. Just like in "Joseph".

[erenozklnc]

one more good game with monogame: Carrion
check it out

[hitbm]

As far as I am aware XNA can still be access through like the mobile framework in Visual Studio?

[BListedk]

2:59 to 5:06 can someone tell me the name and artist of the background music, please? Thanks.

[arifirmanto]

Which one is better mono game or libgdx ?
