Hey guys! Within 24 hours or so there's going to be a huge update to love. Lots of changes to internal systems, graphics, and gameplay. A rumored lack of AI might spark some "creative mode". Keep a watch out on Eskil's twitter @quelsolaar.

So. Eskil finally added Monitor Lizards (see Twitter if you don't believe me). But we now have another one of those newfangled concepts that Eskil talks about on podcasts: Infuse. Once upon a time, it was described that players would be able to use matter mixes for a duration on themselves, possibly in the form of dive gear. Well, the dive gear option is out, but we still get the results. It'll possibly involve the yellow tribe. I'd prefer to be able to do it ourselves, but that's a different matter.

Eskil has put out a barebones release. No, that's not a link to Monitor Lizards. All jokes aside, this release should have a lot of the features highlighted in the podcast (see old post). As always, we'll be on teamspeak (teamspeak.quelsolaar.com:9987) to field any immediate questions and friend account requests. The fun starts here.

EDIT: not yet. as of 4 pm. Central time Eskil has screwed up the release and you can't play. I'm sure it'll be fixed later tonight (my guess is around midnight?)

Hey guys, had a good talk with Eskil today about the (unheard of) Upgrade system. Expect a server and client release tomorrow (for America, Today for EU, and Yesterday for those time travelling NZ/AUS people....). This sounds like a good thing. That persistent pod inventory will finally see fruition. Anyway, here were the notes i took:

You unlock tools one by one
unlock tokens every few minutes
after all tokens are unlocked, you start getting slots
you get slots for DOING things.... (whhhhaaatttt)
everyone goes through once, then experienced players are done.

saved mixes

do you really understand? Can anyone really understand? It's that special time where Valve actually releases a real game. I showered, ate some rice crispies and a banananana. Then some cookies. And more milk. Got my pretzels and water supply ready. All of this started at 10:10 PM. This ritual made me feel ready. I am ready. Are you?

Eskil will be away at GDC, The Game Developers Conference, for the next 2 weeks surely to promote a game he has been working on. Something about "Love". Alongside his primary mission, we have given him a checklist of things to do. He is tasked to infiltrate and blend in with the developers of Minecraft or Battlefield 3, and to send us the juice in a timely fashion.

Best of luck, and see you soon.

Eskil has posted a new tutorial video introducing the basics of Love. It replaces his popular introduction video from 2009.

Eskil presents a presentation at a dubiously named conference at June 2010. Go:

So. Eskil's been adding some really awesome things to his game as of late, unlike Valve. Most notably, the new supertokens.

Yeah. Pretty fuckin' awesome. Look for those awesome super tokens in the AI bases. Keep in mind that the AI will be really pissed at you for taking them, and eventually, they'll try to take the supertokens back.
Quick rundown:

RAWR!. So. we have THIS:
