darkerbit commented 5 years ago

Add this to another branch named no-pipeline.

Reasons for not using a content pipeline are outlined here.

Hi DarkerBit. Thank you for the patch. I'm afraid I'm going to decline it, even as a separate branch, because I don't want the added maintenance burden. Although you are welcome to carry on with your fork.

While I completely agree with Ethan's article: the content pipeline is bad and really shouldn't be used for a production game, there is one area where it shines: getting something up and running quickly, which is precisely the purpose of FNA-Template. Without a mechanism for drawing text, in particular, I don't think your modifications are actually useful in practice.
