Xna4.0 RPG Game Development Series tutorial [PDF tutorial + Source Code]

I found an xna4.0 series of tutorials on foreign websites. It was about the development of RPG games. I couldn't help but build a good game engine. I also designed a complete editor. It felt quite good, I would like to share with you here.

This tutorial is written by Jamie McMahon. The links to the series of tutorials are http://xnagpa.net/xna4rpg.php.

After my own arrangement, I will merge the Left and Right PDF tutorials into a PDF, and combine the data packets with the finalSource codePackage together to facilitate download:

The network speed is too slow to upload ...... Check the website.

When I got home, I had 8 m broadband and sent the package to 115:
