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.

How to build your interactive resume in 4 simple and 2 easy steps
When you decide on the high-level design of the resume, start building your map in Tiled. You can customise the map from the basic game you already have or build your one from scratch - just try and see what works best for you.

How to build maps efficiently
A more sophisticated approach may be to use something like Tiled (https://www.mapeditor.org), but it typically takes a lot of code to to parse a Tiled map, so I wouldn’t start there. The exact needs of your game will dictate the approaches you use. Starting simple means you can make good, visible progress getting your game to work. And I’m sure that plenty of real games have shipped where the levels are just text files.

Thirteen Potions Build Log
When I first messed with Phaser, I just used a 2D array to plop in my tiles, but that was very tedious. That's when I discovered the Tiled map editor! I was able to "paint" with my tilemap to create a map with various layers. I made a ground layer, a wall layer, an enemy layer, and a potion layer.

Pokemon Plum - some in-progress maps for my gen 2 hack
PolishedMap, for use in-game. But, if you're just sketching stuff out, PolishedMap doesn't have the most convenient UI, so something quick with great features like Tiled works well

People who play LANCER on FoundryVTT (or other VTTs), what do you do/use it terms of battle maps?
I use Tiled with this tileset I found in Pilot NET. The maps it creates are entirely form over function - no fancy art or effects unless you add them a different way - but they're very legible. Then I use Foundry's drawing tools to sketch out outlines for cover, object sizes, etc. (Here's an example of a map I made for a Train Heist combat - orange is Size 1, yellow is soft cover, purple is difficult terrain, and so on.)

Ideal printer to print maps, handouts, pawns and such?
If you want to add grids or hexes, you’ll need to edit the image in an image editor to add those. I’d suggest looking at TileD at https://www.mapeditor.org or something along those lines.
