First time LOVE and LUA user...need some tips!

Post by verdammt »

Hey guys!

I'm producing a game with a sound artist and we've decided to use LOVE for our engine since it seems easy to work with an intuitive. I've been thumbing through the wiki and looking at user made games (which help a lot) but I haven't really seen much on 2D plat formers. Does anybody know a 2D plat former made in .LOVE that I can look at for examples? Or any guides/tutorials that would help me make one?

Be sure to sift through the forums. There's a lot of good stuff there.

It's not really all that hard but you have some design choices to make. Start by making something simpler to get used to the engine before you start working on your platformer. Check the wiki, it really contains pretty much all you need to get started.
