XCI Tutorial

This is a brief guide to the XCI Tutorial on YouTube. This series (still in production) goes over all of the aspects of creating games using the XCI adventure game engine. For a more detailed written explanation of how the engine and its software development kit (SDK) work, see the main documentation.

For each episode below there is a link to the video and to the slides shown in the video. These slides were created using LibreOffice Impress, which is recommended for viewing them locally.
