Now Mono 3.4 can be downloaded for Visual Studio directly and the installer automatically installs the templates into Visual Studio. Installers are available here.

The Paul McCowat's answer is correct.

Also, if you doesn't have visual studio 2012 in your machine, just create the folders hierarchy as he said. (C:\Users[your user name]\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C#) Then the Monogame installer can find the folder to copy the templates.

Update: I don't have visual studio 2012 installed in my machine, so I had some problems to resolve in this way.

I edited some files on every template I wanted to use, searching for references of DLLs of visual studio 2012, then i changed the versions of these DLLs from 11 to 12.

Now it works!

For people who want to use Monogame can download the 3.2 which provide the support for 2013.

The installer are available at http://build.monogame.net/job/develop-win/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/Installers/Windows/

If you try this way you don't need to do any kind of copy-paste for project templates.

3.2 build have some trouble now. Check the very common issue here http://monogame.codeplex.com/discussions/467277

Assuming you want C# templates:

  • Install MonoGame from here

  • Find the Visual Studio templates folder (usually C:\Users[your user name]\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C#)

  • Copy the MonoGame folder to the Visual Studio 2013\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C# folder.

You can find a tutorial on this website. It is a github repository of the MonoGame project so the link should work as long as the framework is being developed.

You can also check out this 4-part tutorial on youtube.
