At this point, I find it important to reflect on what I have done, because it is a personal achievement for myself in many ways, but also to the LÖVE developers and the open source community. I'd like to say that without the open source community, none of this would have been possible, even remotely.
Context is due, so I will begin where every writer would begin, at the start.
I'm a big game compo jam participator. Most of the games I have made have been for game jams (Ludum Dare, Bacon Game Jam, and a few other lesser known ones) and I intend on doing more of them. Not only do they provide me with a greater understanding of game design, but they sharpen my game development skills.
