Over the last year and a half, I've been working on Journey to the Center of Hawkthorne . Since the game is open source and worked on by multiple people, we needed infrastructure to manage publishing the game. Every release goes through a build pipeline which adds automatic updates, player metrics, ...

Luajit is on the list of improvements. I'll be talking to Boolsheet to figure out how to enable it for the nightly builds.

Hey everyone, I'm really excited to share my newest project. Six months ago I setup http://love2d.org/builds .

If the version on the client is older, I download the latest zip, unzip the app, overwrite the current app, and r...

That's right everyone, it's time for a new release. And did you see that version number? Welcome to v0.1. This release includes a feature I've wanted for a really long time, automatic updating. We've had if for some time in the Mac version, but it never really worked right. Today, everyone get's it....

It was one year ago that I posted the first version of Journey to the Center of Hawkthorne over in /r/community.
