Hello!

I've been working on my game 'Please The Orb' now for about 18 months in Love2D. After making little tech demos for about 4 years I honestly just wanted to prove to myself that I could make and finish an actual game. I'm thankfully very close to being done!

For context I came from Unity. Whenever I started a project in it I would end up just tweaking visuals, the game world and atmosphere. I'd end up with gorgeous walking simulators with woeful barebones code.

I found Love2D when Balatro exploded and started playing around with it. It was frankly perfect for what I needed. It forced me to make sure I was actually coding a game and not just something that was pretty to look at. Likewise it being so stupidly lightweight meant that I could just setup a git repo and tweak the game on the fly whenever I needed.

I could glaze this engine all day, and I know I'm preaching to the choir by posting here, but if you're an early dev struggling to just finish something with the bigger engines than I highly recommend Love2D.

Oh and if my game looks interesting to you feel free to wishlist it - https://store.steampowered.com/app/4337400/Please_The_Orb/

More than 10 years have passed since my last game... No, i'm pretty sure you can’t remember what it was... But I never stopped developing.

So finally… it’s time for my return! :)

Meow Over Moo is an original digital board game born to be cozy but competitive.

• Symmetric factions
• Deterministic combat
• No first-player advantage
• 7 unit types, each with unique stats and abilities
• A fixed unit pool to spawn in any order you want

And of course... lots of cats and cows

Hopefully coming to Early Access soon!

just little explain:
minutes arrows - points
hour arrows - multiplier.
butterflies - deckbuilder element that you can combine

update on my anim8 tool that i have been working on ( it is adjusted more around the game engine framework i have been working on will be uploading about it more soon!!!

Hi all, I'm looking for some feedback on my first game project. It's playable on itch.io. Everything is rough, this is a simple prototype to test some of the core loop but I would be really happy to hear some thoughts on the concept. Expect UI weirdness and the like.

The main theme is grinding online poker, jumping up in stake levels and all that. All the instructions are on the itch page

Thank you in advance, happy to answer questions and whatnot. This game has been in development for about 2-3 months.

Some things I'm looking for feedback on:

• Anything that reads as a bug.
• Does the grind hold for the playtime and how is the pace (30-60 min roughly for content present)
• What would you like to see added or anything that doesn't make sense/detracts?
• Any other feedback. Be as detailed as you like, what you like or didn't, etc

Been wanting to learn A* for general game dev, decided to make a visualizer and its so addicting to play with. A* is so cool and simple!

I've been slowly making progress with the Marching Cubes.

Honestly, it's been a massive headache. It works... more or less. There are still bugs, weird terrain artifacts, and moments where the mesh completely breaks itself.

Originally the terrain was just a heightmap system, but that only let me dig horizontally... and we all want caves, right?

I also added a feature where if you slam into the ground hard enough, it creates a crater, and that's probably the most satisfying part so far.

FPS are still acceptable, but I keep sacrificing them every time I add a new feature.

PS: I haven't posted updates in a while either. Between work, walking the dog, and stopping every five minutes to pet the cat, progress has been a lot slower than I wanted.

I know that starting with the new Love major release, we'll have https support courtesy of lua-https.

That said, getting the new Love is currently nightly only, build at your own risk, etc...

Does lua-https work with love 11.x? If so, does it work with any of the web export options we have?

If not, do any of the web export options we have work with 12.x?

Hi there ,

we are a team working on an indie game using LOVE2D (for sure) and we need at least 3 programmers , and if you are a beginner dont worry i have prepared all the sources you will learn love2d from and also i am preparing for a documentation for love2d written by me , it will be shared soon on my github page : https://github.com/Hero3601

til now i have got 8 members in my team (including me) and they are the following :
3 Programmers
1 pixel artist
1 writer (storyteller)
1 voice actor
1 for advertisement
1 Tester

but there is a very important note you should consider
the payment and this is the part most of the readers will fell off , to be honest , in real time of working , we dont have anything to pay like a salary for each member , thats an indie game at the end and we are working because it is a hobby , none of us will get money , instead after the first release of the game we will activate donations and the money we will collect from donations will be distributed on the team members fairly

[edit]
well the game is about a samurai in heian era in japan , for now we didnt finish the story of the game and thats why i dont need programmers only ,the samurai should fight tribes maybe or fight well known samurai's that havent been beaten before they represent bosses , the game art style (as what it is in our imagination) is that it should be a pixel art game that looks realistic in sounds , animations , environmental changes , day cycle , etc ...

the writer is still working on the story and will be finished in around 3 days from now

Thanks for reading ! , i would be glad if you have decided to join us
for contact here is my portofolio website that you will find all my accounts in it and i am mostly active in discord https://hero3601.github.io/Personal-Website/

btw i dont even know if i am able to ask for programmers in love2d community
