Hanging out on IRC I noticed a lot of people here is very knowledgeable, and most of the times can talk about stuff I only dream of getting good at (for now). So it got me curious: what kind of (educational or otherwise) background do you have? How did you learn all the awesome stuff you know? Most...

Currently, there is a book: http://love2d-book.github.io
Unfinished, but covers a lot about the framework. I think it is a good start point
(LÖVERS, we need contributors for this book, pls)

I had something to say, but I don't think I'm in the position to be the person that says something good right now hahaha Procastin...

I'm going to be blunt with you because I believe that this is a valuable life lesson that everyone should learn. No offense intended.

Thank you

Well, what's the alternative? If you can live with yourself not making games then stop, but it doesn't sound like becoming an unmotivated person who does lots of programming and drinks lots of coffee sounds like an appealing option for you. My demotivation is specific to game development, because i...

[my outburst] Since I was a child I have a dream: Work as a game developer. As soon as I got my first computer, I started to make this dream come true. I discovered that I'd have to learn a thing called programming, and I learned .. I started with GML ( from Game Maker), then Python, C++, Java, late...
