Substitute for XNA

I learned to program in C# and later on picked up XNA. To my disappointment I found out that XNA isn't supported in Windows 8 anymore. So I guess XNA is dying out. I would love to find something similar to it. I would love to find something that deals with 2D graphics (3D is little too much for me now) kinda like XNA did, because that's something I can't do in bare C#.Just the managing of pictures and audio. Thanks for help.

You can use MonoGame. MonoGame is a cross-platform, drop-in replacement for XNA on Windows, Linux, WinRT, Windows Phone 7/8, iOS and Android.

It is a mature project and many commercial, successful 2D/3D games have been created using this library.

XNA is supported on windows 8 (in the desktop), just not for windows store apps.

If you want to create windows store apps then MonoGame was built to be a drop-in replacement for XNA. At the time of writing most is implemented, the notable exception being the content pipeline (you need to use XNA Game Studio to create the xnb files).

MonoGame is an Open Source implementation of the Microsoft XNA 4 Framework. Our goal is to allow XNA developers on Xbox 360, Windows & Windows Phone to port their games to the iOS, Android, Mac OS X, Linux and Windows 8 Metro. Windows Phone 8, OUYA and PlayStation Mobile development is currently in progress.
