LÖVE

How 'bout you edit your first post to have a poll so we can vote on the theme. (Unless you just get to decide the theme...)

Also, when does it start? I'll only be able to participate if it's on a weekend .

To quote Stelpa :

What kind of things are we looking at making here? Tech-demos? Minigames? Beginnings of big games? Anything?

Please no. That would erase a massive part of the graphical potential LÖVE has.

And btw, shouldn't a selected group of people vote? You know, first, user's votes, then the voting team will vote. I prefer the Team who helped make love possible.

P.S. : This computer has no graphics card so yeah.

Why not just disallow all computers so the playing field is truly level? "If I can't have it, no one can!"

Canvases and shaders are incredibly powerful tools, which is why they're in LÖVE, OpenGL, and graphics hardware to begin with.

Nah, voting on themes is overcomplicating things and it spoils the "big reveal", imo

I am not sure when it is starting (depends how long questions go), but you have two weeks to submit your entry, which should be plenty, regardless of your timezone

ANYTHING

Just make it fit the theme, and make it in Löve!

Btw, after doing a bit of research, I doubt I am going to ban canvases or pixel effects, since they are most definitely a part of Löve, which is what this fest is about

How many theme suggestions you got so far? Need more?

Are custom LÖVE builds allowed? (Just asking)

And are entries required to be SELÖVE-compatible?

(So, don't use Lua's IO library)
