Ok, a new try in an own topic
Qubodup recommended this engine to me as an cool engine for a spoofing, hard game like "i wanna be the guy" or like "syobon action".
More information about the games and the idea:

Sadly :cry: i am not a programmer, just a graphic creator and level designer.
Is someone interested in programming that game?
Looking forward for your answer and other ideas.
CU,
Sauer2

BTW: How can i run a .love file under Ubuntu :?:
Klicking on it runs a archive manager.

EDIT: Fixed the link.

I can't see the link...

Ubuntu LÖVE:

Method 1: Right-click the .love file and choose Open With. You can use a custom command, just write love and you're done. Be careful not to fuck up your file associations or else every zip-like file will be opened with LÖVE (I can tell).

Method 2: Open a terminal, browse to the directory where the -love file is located and write "love gamename.love" without the quotes.

Thanks, but it doesnt seem to work.
I always get a message from löve that the file doesnt exist.

Hey there sauer2 :)

When you tried it in the command line, did you write the .love ending too?

If possible, give us the command line output if you try to run from terminal.

I think it would be good if you removed one "!" from the title and put a "I Wanna Be The Guy-like platformer" in it. It helps people realize what the löve the post is about. (ATM it's not even clear if you want devs for a game or for a web browser ;))

Hi,
the problem was, i just forgot that linux is case sensitive. :oops:
Now it runs fine.

And yeah.
You're right; many "!" looks like i am mad :lol: !!!
(Like Terry Pratchett says)

Thanks and CU,

So by the way, Sauer2 has created a first level design, which might give you a hint on what he has in mind.
