LÖVE Game Competions?

[Davidobot]

Are there any official or unofficial LÖVE-specific game contests? I brought this topic up because the 7dfps is soon starting and that kinda led onto this...

We had a whole sub-site for the LOVE-Jam, which we used exactly twice and was totally abandoned.

There have been occasional forum driven contests, but most of the members who were into running those have left us.

I found some links:

The sub-website: http://love2d.org/jam (Doesn't work btw, remember I was on it when it did....)
Unofficial Competition: http://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=8769

What's wrong with general competitions? Like, Ludum Dare?

because fuck ludum dare i'm spiderman

It's some LÖVE-pride thing, and people want to have LÖVE based competitions, I guess.
It's on par with asking what's wrong with ponies. There's nothing really wrong, per se, people just like it.

I'd say that the fact that LÖVE is a popular choice for Ludum Dare is more important to LÖVE pride than a LÖVE competition.

Yeah, I'd say people want LÖVE-exclusive compos because they like the community here and would rather make games for a limited audience that they know is supportive, rather than putting their quickly-made games up for the whole world to see, not because LÖVE pride or something.

I think this is why.
And maybe some LÖVE-pride....

The LOVE-Jam, how did you ruin it?

Sorry for double posting. Are we going to have a Löve-Jam this year?
Carried on here since I didn't want to derail the Ludum Dare 27 thread.
