Transcript

2. Global Game Jam
3. Why love? • LÖVE is an *awesome* framework you can use to make 2D games in Lua. It's free, open-source, and works on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. • WIP: android, iOS ports
4. Experience • Between 20-24 h of total work • Prototype working at the first 5h • We implemented a level loader in 3 h • It took us more time to build the map than develop the level loader • Less is more. Lua is awesome • Open source + Awesome community (forum, irc) = löve
5. Game idea • We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are • Nice guy • Impossible game?
6. Demo time!
