LÖVE

So Lafolie, me and a mutual friend of ours, known only by the mysterious guise of "Joe" participated in the jam this weekend, and we produced something that has never been named, except by its description "Underwater Mech Fighter".

Seeing as the title pretty much covers the entire introduction, I'll just leave you with some screenshots:

Nice game i always wondered why all games are old style?

Because it requires many order of magnitude less work to go retro-style than to go next-gen style!

Are the bubbles done with a particle system?

Looks neat, but none of the mechs show up for me! I unzipped the .love, and all of the pictures work there, but not when playing the game (Windows 8 Laptop, Default Graphics card).

@bartbes/@lafolie - mind opening up the access on the bitbucket repo? This seems like a fun game to port to the OUYA w/ controllers, etc.

No, they actually aren't.

Might be the shaders. Does your system support shaders? If it does, maybe there was an error in our shaders we never found...

I think it does... I'm not sure, though. I've never encountered an error before, but I've also never used shaders. It might be the image format, though. My computer couldn't read them until I set them to open with Gimp...

That's odd, all the images are just png files. I just realised that I actually left the PSD files in there, but the assets used by the game are all pngs.

Ah... well that is strange... All the shaders I tested recently from the share a shader thread work...
