I Made a Game and Could Win Valuable Prizes!

Post by bmelts »

Hi guys! Boing Boing has a neat contest going on at http://boingboing.net/arcade/ where people made video games based on chiptune music. I strongly encourage you all to check out the games listed there and vote in the poll at the bottom for the one you think is the best. Though I should mention that my game is called Gobber Assault and happens to be written in LÖVE. :ehem:

Yeah, the game gets pretty broken once you get far enough along. :ehem:

The sound gets broken too, once you go fast enough love.audio just can't handle speeding things up that much.

@User_Avatar: :D no, I mean the game consumes me, I assumed you spent a lot of time playing it yourself?

This game is awesome. I voted.

As a new LOVE person, I would also be interested to know a bit more about how it was made.

If you mean that the source code is interesting to you: you can unzip the .love file and take a look
If you wonder about how it was assembled, I think all the info about art/asset sources is on the game's homepage and in a readme in the .love (not 100% sure about the latter).

Yep. The readme is also readable online (there's a link on the game's page).

Thanks for voting!

Awesome graphics, how did you make it so your images don't come out all blurry after scaling? Whenever I try to draw an 8x8px image with 4x scale it becomes all blurry in love ;-;
