is there any commercial games have been written with love2d?

[baby_nux]

is there any good quality game made from love2d?
any commercial one?

just curious if is love2d have good potensial to standing with other 2D game engines/frameworks in standard game industries.


( sry for my english )

A number of games have been made with Love, you can check a few out here: http://love2d.org/wiki/Category:Games

I don't know of any commercial games, but I certainly think Love has got the potential.

As far as I know, LÖVE tends to be used more as a prototyping engine than a game engine for a final game in those circles.

Why would that be? Because of speed, stability, or something else? Do you think Love is capable of making an average commercial game? (I plan to someday)

I think with a few other tech I think it can be end of the day depends on what you really want to do

I think it helps it's not C++, although it shouldn't matter that much, and that LÖVE is officially pre-alpha software, although very stable in practice.

Depends on what a "average commercial game" is. I do believe LÖVE's more fit for the casual end of the "seriousness" spectrum, but there's no reason you can't make a commercial game.

Perhaps the people involved are generally a bit twitchy around open source, even indie ones?

I plan on commercializing Kurosuke, once I have finished adding features and have produced a few dozen levels and art assets.

I also plan on Kurosuke being open-source, and making payment optional and trivial in size ("hey, spare me a dollar if you liked this game?"). So it's still a bit of an odd duck.

I don't think there are many things holding Love back from being a commercial framework. Requiring SSE2 is one of the few things that is really cramping me, for example.

Thanks for your replies guys.

I guess I'm sort aiming around the mark of World of Goo (which was made in C++ with SDL) for complexity.

Requiring SSE2 is one of the few things that is really cramping me, for example.

Is this SSE2: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSE2? Does that basically mean it won't work on computers with an Intel processor lower than Pentium 4?

[bartbes]

It is merely a compile-time setting, afaik the next windows build will use SSE (1) again.

It's easier to see on AMD computers. Find a Sempron and try and run Love. 6.2 will run, but 7.1 won't. Glad to hear the next build will fix it, it's been a problem for me for a while, half my testers are out of the loop.
