I published my first game with Love2d - Fire at Will (with source code)

[_PC-Expert_]

Hello friends.

It wasn't until later that I was introduced to Lua and Love2d. I followed the forum from outside throughout my first project. I just became a member. There was nothing I couldn't find by searching on the forum. I express my thanks. Also, the Lua language and the Love2d framework are really nice.

I recently released the first version of my first game. And I wanted to share the link with you. The game's page on Codecanyon below.

I am waiting for your support. Thanks in advance.

Linking to a store page where you charge 50 bucks for a _game_ that basically is a fancy copy of a how to detect clicks tutorial.
Is this a spambot again?

No, such a situation is not the case. This is already the game introduction section.

As I mentioned in the title, this is my first game with Love2d. It can be seen on the product page that the source code is included. These types of games can also be useful for beginners. Whoever wishes, buys, and whoever wishes, does not buy. Lua and Love2d seem to be very unknown on Envato Codecanyon. Of course, the product can only be produced as output. I'm also interested in other languages ​​and frameworks, but I liked Lua and Love2d. I will share posts like this from time to time.

As a result of my research and observations, I can easily recommend Lua and Love2d for starting game programming.
Additionally, Lua and Love2d are among those taught at the first stage at universities such as Harvard. I leave a link here for free training.

Happy coding everyone.

That cs50 harvard course is bad, considering as far as i know, it has not been kept up to date with the current löve version, but even then, it teaches quite a few bad practices.

As for why you're uploading a "game" on a website seemingly more catered for code snippets and stuff for websites, i have no idea; ever considered, i don't know, uploading a game to an actual game marketplace like itch?

[steVeRoll]

The site they're selling it on seems to have a trend of low-quality games being sold for absurd prices... I'm not really sure what that's all about.

Maybe this site sell games with copyrights, not just a games as game copy?

I didn't take the Harvard course. I don't know. But I wanted to share it, believing that it would be good. I am following a course from Udemy. Good education.

I know about Itch.io. However, I am not a member yet. I will look at it in time.
Envato is a big market. There is a quality control. Codecanyon section is also good. I didn't have much anyway. Itch.io seems to be more free. However, Codecanyon is better quality than I have seen.

Yes, all products have licenses with Envato. However, products such as the Excel program, which is also in my profile, only contain executable files. For HTML5, only files to be uploaded to the site can be published. Of course, again under license.

I thank my friends who tried to help for the answers.
I also wanted to share the game as code. In order to make changes within the scope of the license and to be useful to others. I am happy here in general. I will look at other places over time.

Even if the prices of products are expensive on Envato, there are discounts from time to time. I will too from time to time. Stay tuned.

Fire at Will is on sale for one month. I wanted to announce it to you too. I wish you good forums.

If this is your first Love2D game, I don't want to lay it on you too hard, but... even on sale that pricing is a joke.

I get that you're offering the rights to use code the elsewhere and not just selling the copy, but this is an extremely easy program to put together - I could probably put something similar together in less than hour. If you're going to sell it, I would recommend drastically reducing your asking price, though even then I wouldn't rate your chances getting customers.

(P.S. I am more than willing to put my money where my mouth is and make it in less than an hour)

I halved the price of the product. Currently, it is on sale for a month at this price. I also mentioned future updates in the notes section of the product. Anyone who wishes can read it from there.

Stay tuned. I wish you good forums.
