Hey guys,
Hopefully a quick topic, but we'll see.....!!
Been programming for years and played with multiple languages, engines and SDKs over the years.
It's been awhile but I wanted to get back into it [game dev] again, and I'm trying to find out what I should use if I plan on coding in C++ (windows)
From what I understand DirectX and XNA etc etc are dead (or dying), so now what?
I'm working on a RPG game (currently console text based), but I'd like to take it to a 2D pixel style game.
Just pixel based background art with popup speech bubbles maybe and a hud for inventory etc etc
May move to animated pixel sprite/art later but right now just some basics.
Ideally something that can fullscreen and utilize the graphics card and not rely on crappy windows forms or GDI..
What are my options?
Thanks
