This is Monofoxe - a game engine based on the Monogame Framework. Its main goal is to greatly simplify working with Monogame and to provide basic set of tools enabling you to just create a new project and make a damn game without removing low-level access to the framework. Monofoxe took a lot of inspiration from Game Maker, so it should be a bit familiar to some folks.

Yes, you can. Monofoxe is licensed under MPL 2.0, so you can use it and its code in any shenanigans you want. Free games, commercial games, your own the-coolest-in-the-world engines - no payment or royalties required. Just please leave a credit. ; - ) (Though, if you will be using FMOD, it has its own license, which is much less permissive than mine.)

Well, up to you. Currently I am developing Monofoxe alone, and can't really provide huge support, or anything. This is mostly an engine for myself and my games - I am not naive enough to think, that everyone will suddenly rush and drop Unity/Game Maker/whatever in favor of Monofoxe. But you can try. ( - :

Download the Monofoxe installer from the latest release. Installer bundles Visual Studio 2017 and 2019 templates. Monofoxe is distributed via nugets, so templates aren't mandatory. It's also a good idea to install project templates for Monogame.

Just install Monofoxe, create Monofoxe project and you're good to go.

NOTE: Due to VS2019 project search being completely broken, templates may not appear in the search right away. Instead of searching select "Monofoxe" in Project Types.

You can also check out the basic feature demos or the Docs to learn how to use Monofoxe.

That's the spirit. Check out if I need any help on my Quire board. Stuff under Open for taking category is, well, open for taking. You can also contact me via email ([email protected]), on Twitter or on Discord.
