Bloomwood - 2D RPG - Hobby Project
I'm developing an RPG in C# using MonoGame and the Nez game engine. Looking for hobbyists who would like something to do in their free-time and/or one programmer and one pixel-artist. Below is a link to a Google Drive folder w/ information regarding the game's design. Any comments, suggestions or otherwise are also welcome!

How easy is Monogame for a beginner coming from game engines?
Monogame has a good number of libraries, ranging from utility and QOL stuff all the way up to something like Nez, a huge library completely reworks how Monogame works.

Connecting a Traditional OO Inheritance Hierarchy to a Component-Based Entity System
I have an entity-based component system based on Nez that implements most of the lower level functionality of my game, such as animation, rendering, physics, and collision initiated interactions. It was originally supposed to be an ECS but now I consider it more of an entity-based component system since the components are more about adding functionality to entities, rather than data and there (currently) are no separate systems. I've implemented a custom messaging system, of which I am quite proud, so that when one component needs to send a message to another component it doesn't have to perform a lookup using reflection nor does it need to always store a reference to that component.

Entity System for Nez?
They still have an Entity-Component system, but no longer an Entity-Component-System system. The part of the FAQ I’m referring to is here: Entity Systems
- How can I avoid global state in programs, when all objects/classes need to interact with each other?
- C# is only for Unity, right?

I need to make a game in WPF
If your background is in C#, and you think Unity is overkill or you don't want to be taken out of a pure code ecosystem (unity is like a glorified level editor), then I would highly recommend MonoGame using the Nez framework https://github.com/prime31/Nez . Its all C#, and it gives you everything you need to start making a game and nothing else - just the kitchen sink. It gives you a game loop, media capabilities, an actor system, a UI system, collisions, animation tweening, and a lot more. The code to get started is literally simpler than a new WPF app. Check out the sample library. https://github.com/prime31/Nez-Samples The code to create a 2d tileset game with collisions, a follow camera, and a movable character who can shoot fireballs is only 300 lines long.

Are there any common practices/conventions that I should know about?

I am looking for a new engine. Any suggestions?
If you're cool with just writing code with no GUI environment, I'm a big fan of Monogame, especially when paired with the Nez library extension. Using Monogame by itself is fine and let's you do basically everything from scratch how you want it, but Nez gives you a strong foundation of basics handled for you without completely getting in your way, including an entity-component style workflow that you may be used to from Unity.

Current state of 2D game code-first frameworks?
XNA re-implementation/extended support seems like a good idea. I'll look into it some more. I also want to share this list of libraries suggested to me for MonoGame support: https://github.com/aloisdeniel/awesome-monogame

I don't have anything to add to Ignatus other than a GitHub repo filled with resources that can help you out.

I spent month implementing a camera, simple ECS, Tiled map integration and rendering - just to find out all of this and more is in the Monogame.Extended

Game engine for a 2D, top down, rogue like, pixel art game?
Fair warning, base Monogame leaves a lot to you to create yourself. It's technically a framework and not an engine (difference explained here). However, there are several extensions that add specific things you might want.

Tired of current language but scared to switch (sunken cost fallacy evaluation)
And as for replacing libraries, I obviously don't know what you've got going on, but there are a bunch of extensions to Monogame that add all sorts of stuff. Maybe there's something in the you can use to help you?
