Here are some more screenshots from Mage Defender Remake:
So, as I promised, the game will be released with it’s full source code.
There are some small things that I need to change before I upload the game, but it will be up today or tomorrow.
A new post will be added with the link, and a codeplex page will be created for the project.

A history on Mage Defender
Mage Defenger, original game.
Mage Defender Deluxe in Silverlight.
Mage Defender, Original
In 1999, I created a DOS game named Mage Defender. You were a mage, and had to shoot slimes to protect your castle.
If slimes managed to pass you, the castle lost lives, and if one hit you, you lost lives.

So, in 2007 I wanted to learn Silverlight 1.1, and decided to make a remake of the game. The game got a little more advanced, with multiple spells and castle levels, but still only slimes to kill. You also get Ability Points during level up,so you can spec. your player.

I get the error "Cannot find content processor "SkinnedModelProcessor". .\\magedefender-28456\\MageDefender\\MageDefender\\Content\\Models\\ghost.X MageDefender360" when compiling it. I tried both this download and the one published in codeplex. Great presentation you did at the Game Camp! 🙂
Thank you! I will upload the missing file, I got some feedback that this file is missing and it wont come with the model. I will upload the file now and post a new blog about it so you can find it!
Hmm it appears like your blog ate my first comment (it was
super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any recommendations for newbie blog writers? I’d really appreciate it.
