We're doing it. This game started me on my conquest of engines. I'm building Tom Lander for my first steam game. Gonna get it done in 1 month of time! Steam page by end of January! #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #customgameengine #love2d

I built a software renderer in Love2D. Ported from picotron, its rendering Tom Lander great! I think I have a different FOV running but that's ok, the graphics are porting over just fine.

Chicken dating sim.... I joked it was about a chicken finding love, but this is actually kinda fun. All the NPCs are persistent, you can date as many as you want.
