Elysian Shadows

So i've been getting quite a few messages from ppl on youtube lately asking for help making a game or map editor etc. So I started thinkin that a great way to give something back would be to make the tutorials that these ppl want. Nearly all of them wanted to use XNA, so i made my decision and got to work. I've finally finished the basic map editor tutorial and I thought i'd post it here just in case anyone might find it useful. The idea was not to spoon feed the viewers the entire project but to give them enough information to go and make their own kick ass editor by expanding on the basic editor that they will make during the tutorial. I also have a basic tile game tutorial that should be up very soon. It will cover the basics i.e. scrolling maps, loading levels from files and collision detection. Let me know what you all think
