That's the question, how did you discover this awesome 2d game engine? I discovered it by searching for "lua" in the Ubuntu Software Center

That was almost two years ago. I remember I was looking for 2D game engines, via Google, different than LuaPLayers.
I found love2D, read at the wiki, registered here.
And I fell in love.
And we got married, and we're still looking forward having children.

PS: That's is going to be fun... Cause actually some people around did not discovered Löve, they created it. So the quesion would be, to them: " how did you come up making Löve ? Who got the original idea for that conspiracy ? And how did he found some others sex-partners ? " :P

i... don't remember exactly

at the time i was fresh off mmf2 and pretty much stuck with writing my own 2d engine which i got tired of doing. may well have found it accidentally searching for opengl bindings

I use to lurk TIGsource forums quite a bit. My main game hobby tool during that time was GameMaker. Eventually I got tired of its limitations and someone advocating LÖVE would would pop up there every now and then so I got interested.

I had been trying out various scripting frameworks since I stopped using windows. One day someone on suggested I 'google' love2d, and it turned out to be exactly what I was looking for.

My own LÖVE back story.
That was a very interesting reading.
Wow, I am quite a newcomer on the board, considering the fact most of the people who posted there are not still very active here...

I found out about Love back in early 2008 thanks to Rude who is one of the original Love devs.

It was posted on a indie developing blog. I forget which one. Turned out to be exactly what I needed.

You think you're new? I came here last November! I found out about love shortly after I found Mari0 over at stabyourself.
