Anyone else planning to participate in the GMTK Game Jam 2019?

Just to chime in here, I would be very much in favor of a July or August jam.

I'll test each of the platforms eventually, but the frequency is determined by convenience. In my case, Linux is my default development environment, and then Mac gets periodic checks, and then Windows gets checked for each major milestone. In general this kind of testing is pragmatic enough. In term...

After the jam I came back and made a bunch of fixes and additions, including coming back earlier today and making a version compatible with Love 11. If anyon...

I suspect part of the reason there is not a fallback system is that the dev team doesn't want to open the support floodgates with this. Not to put words in their mouths, of course, but I certainly wouldn't want to deal with constant questions about "my text looks fine on this windows but my fri...

Is there no way to select a font using the functions for custom fonts? Even selecting a font by name that is already in the system? Seems weird not to have it. If you can't choose then what in fact is the font normally used by default? As far as I can see it's Vera: https://bitbucket.org/rude/love/...
