I'm glad you like it.

I've been working with @riidom in #vapor-dev, and from a rather nice color palette, I was able to pull this together, much in the spirit of what @santos made!

Nice!

But I would take the tweet thing to the left or right side and limit the number of games displayed.

Again me :).

I would also add a description to vapor, so people not knowing #Löve understand what it is. For endusers it's basically the same mechanic like steam or desura.

Steam says:
"Delivers a range of games straight to a computer's desktop. Includes automatic updates, lists of games and prices, posters, plus access to a large gaming..."

Desura says:
"Desura is a digital distribution service for gamers, putting the best games, mods and downloadable content at your fingertips and ready to play."

I would also say ... Vapor is an completely free service and all games are unpaid. Or something that does not sound liek free 2 play.

Maybe the very first free gamedeveloper 2 gamer game-distribution-platform :).

I say it again...I would like to have an integration of itch.io, vapor, löveliness and we could take over the world. Haha.

This is a good idea! Brainstorming here: https://github.com/josefnpat/vapor/issues/177

Indeed! I really need to "sit" down with Leafo and brainstorm how we could get that to happen.

* clearcache is now clear_cache
* clear_cache and force_local are now documented, along with submission testing

Ludum Dare Comp and Ludum Dare Jam is coming in a month and a half, it would be great if all the lovers participating in the jam could upload games to vapor with the ludum dare link in the description, so that we could play them there...

Maybe we could set a page with its own hosting and app, something like loveludumdare.whatever and there you just put your love file, the link, and a little descrition and that gives an instant update to the .json and the hosting of the file

I dont expect many files being uploaded to that hosting so that shouldnt be a problem

Just saying thought

That is a good idea, but could be problematic-- Vapor is still using 0.8.0, and from what I remember, is not planned to be ported to 0.9.0 at all. That being said, seeing as 0.9.0 is released, and many developers will be taking advantage of the added speed and functions, many of the games may not be compatible with Vapor, which is quite a shame, really.

This was proposed very early in development, and just hasn't gotten around to: https://github.com/josefnpat/vapor/issues/7

Please do some research before saying such things. https://github.com/josefnpat/vapor/issues/81 Vapor was designed from the ground up with 0.7.2, 0.8.0 and 0.9.0 + being available. It just needs someone to do that.

Vapor needs some TLC, unfortunately at this point in my life, I have a bunch of other obligations to take care of that are sadly more important than vapor.

With that being said, I am very open to other people communicating with me, and offering pull requests and continuing my work. When things settle down a bit more, I plan on coming back to Vapor, full circle.

My bad. Last time I tried running it with 0.9.0 it threw up a bunch of errors.
