LÖVE

Hey Love2D community,

i'm pretty much new here, I came in search of putting together a team for working on a project of mine. See my original first post on project recruitment.

I have a tonne of experience gaming . Not sure if that amounts to anything, but I generally know what - to me at least - makes a game successful, addictive and fun.

My favorite Genres are without a doubt, RTS and Strategy RPGs, but I equally love FPS and any sort of game which makes you think logically about the choices you make.

Well, hello

Hello!

Exactly, to you, so yeah, it amounts to nothing.

Seriously, the only way to find out is to actually create something, and if you do, we'll be here for you.

Disclaimer: I am obliged to tell you that all I said above was either the truth, or a big lie.

Haha, well, in a more simplistic way of looking at things - I can also tell when a game is badly conceptualized, terribly put together, has poor graphics and might appeal to 11 and 12 year olds. Generally speaking, to me, a game has to have a well developed storyline - Starcraft and Starcraft: Brood Wars being my favorite RTS example of this, in the RPG field, I would have to go for Dragon Age: Origins or The Elderscrolls IV: Oblivion.

If the game relies purely on game-play and doesn't need an immersive storyline to keep you playing, then it has to have pretty addictive game play. For this, I would quote Counterstrike 1.6 and definitely Dungeon Keeper 1 & 2, definitely anything with extensive online capabilities, such as Warcraft III on battle.net - especially because of it's worldedit software which allows you to pretty much create anything you can dream of, in the frame of the Warcraft III game-style.

So, I'm pretty well traveled in my gaming shoes, but I have to agree with you, it does amount to nothing because preference is simply perspective.

ps. I keep clicking that damn 'save' button instead of 'submit'... First time I posted I was like, where's my damn post?!
