Hi, I'm Christopher Whitley, also known as Aristurtle. I am an indie game developer and game tool developer. I primarily create games and tools using the MonoGame Framework. All tools that I develop are released as free and open source here on my GitHub.

I write tutorials on game development and using the MonoGame Framework which can be found on my website

I am also a full stack .NET Developer professionally creating web applications for the East Carolina University libraries. So you may see some library technology related things here as well, such as my Kardashev library for reading MARC-21 formatted bibliographic data.

Tools

The following are some of the game development tools that I have created.

	MonoGame.Aseprite Import aseprite files directly into your MonoGame projects.
	AsepriteDotNet Cross-platform C# library for reading Aseprite files.
