Xenko 3.1 Released

<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/xenko-3-1-released.png" width="356" height="400" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p>The open source MIT licensed game engine <a href="http://xenko.com/">Xenko</a> just released version 3.1.&nbsp; We have featured Xenko several times in the past including this somewhat outdated <a href="https://www.gamefromscratch.com/page/Paradox-Game-Engine-Tutorial-Series.aspx">tutorial series</a>.&nbsp; The 3.1 release is somewhat difficult to nail down what is new, as the <a href="http://xenko.com/blog/release-xenko-3-1-0/">release blog post</a> primarily focuses on the new NuGet features:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Xenko was always a big proponent of NuGet: since first version, Xenko was distributed as a NuGet package.</p>
<p>However, due to limitations (hello packages.config and project.json!), we were leveraging NuGet more as a distribution medium than proper NuGet packages: Xenko 3.0 is still a monolithic single package and it would not work out of the box when referenced from Visual Studio without using Xenko Launcher and Game Studio.</p>
<p>Xenko 3.0 paved the way by making Xenko compatible with the new project system (game projects were referencing Xenko using a <code>PackageReference</code>).</p>
<p>Today, Xenko 3.1 brings Xenko as a set of smaller NuGet package, each containing one assembly, with proper dependencies:</p>
<p><img alt="GitHub" src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/xenko-3-1-released.png"></p>
<p>As a result, it is now possible to create a game project that references only the packages you want.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>You can learn more about the release, as well as a complete <em>unfiltered</em> change long <a href="http://xenko.com/blog/release-xenko-3-1-0/">here</a>.&nbsp; One other thing to be aware of before upgrading to Xenko 3.1 is the requirement to use Visual Studio 2019!&nbsp; You can learn more about Xenko and this release in the <a href="https://youtu.be/NogxH5SkuG0">video</a> below.</p>
