Love's First Airborne Division

Posted on 1st October 2010 at 4:24AM GMT+0000 by Samakon | Comments (0)

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

Red Death Star: Gives the player an awesome toolset including BFG, Dive Gear, Binoculars, and the now useless Config Tool.
Yellow Balloon Maker: Produces 2 hot air balloons which will fly players in the direction of the wind when a player hops on.
Green Source of Life: Grants players 100 power/second in the area around it.
Blue Orb of Power: Provides 32 power/second to all objects in a small radius.
White Orb of Knowledge: Projects a globe-map of the world with different resources and other useful info.

Now. Combine the yellow and red super tokens, and what do you get? That's right, a Helicopter Gunship.

Is there a Teamspeak Client for Macs?

Posted on 24th September 2010 at 9:09AM GMT+0000 by Samakon | Comments (0)

RAWR!. So. we have THIS:
[
It should speak for itself, but WHAT DOES IT MEAN?. Are Love's horizons broadening? I suppose so. This project was kept a complete secret. I heard nothing. All we can hope for now is that Mac-people use teamspeak. If so, hop on and ask us anything, and we'll be happy to help ya out! Except for Lynx, and we all know why that is. Alternatively, we have this semi-on-semi-off podcast deal on itunes where we talk with Eskil about Love. I'm still editing the fifth podcast, which might turn into a two-parter because I have so much content to work with. But seriously, feel free to get on the TS server and have a chat with us. You may even see Eskil on there and talk with him too.....

RED BASES

Posted on 12th September 2010 at 11:29PM GMT+0000 by Samakon | Comments (0)

The reds are back, and cooler than ever. I recently raided one of their crazy underground complexes.... They had fires and underground rivers EVERYWHERE. I also got Rocket and Blaster Turret. I only wish I had taken screenshots....

Possible Massively Livestream tonight?

Posted on 10th September 2010 at 8:27PM GMT+0000 by Samakon | Comments (0)

Hey guys, rumor has it that there might be a person from massively livestreaming some Love tonight. So you regulars should be on tonight while I'm at work. I'll be back around 10:15PM American Central time. Anyway, if this goes over well, I might give away some vouchers for those who participate. A Massively endorsement would be pretty massive for love's success.

Free Weekend

Love is Free. This weekend. As it should be (irl). Eskil isn't really a hippie, but come on man, it's free love! Check out Quel Solaar for the official Love site.

As a special promotional event, this weekend will be an all-access-crazy-fun-fest with extra hyphe-ns!!!--! Players new and old are welcome to join us at any time on teamspeak for help, questions, and some good lovin'. If you are interested in the free weekend feel free to talk to us or check out some Awesome Guides. If you prefer videos rather than reading, watch the unscripted guide videos here. Take it from me, Love is pretty freakin' cool.

The HAUNTED Settlement (WTFs not included.)

Posted on 27th August 2010 at 11:41AM GMT+0000 by Samakon | Comments (0)

So. The Alpha Dogs all got on and made a base tonight. It's pretty fuckin' epic. Several new players got on along the way to help a little :P. Things got a little crazy with the Poltergeist(wtf?!?!) but we somehow made it through. Really epic base with screenshots and videos on the way. It feels really really good to finally reach end game. It's been what, 2 months?

Recent talks with Eskil....
The no-lag patch is out. Simply download and replace your old client from here. There is no bin update for this patch, but a new zip will be released with the new exe soon enough (check twitter updates for this). The recent fixes to both server and client include reduced latency, less server lag (the ai work SOOO much better), and everything feels a lot smoother.

It was exciting to finally have a real battle with some blue AI. They used Slug Rifles!!! for the first time in forever. Everything felt so right tonight. Rebalanced difficulties seemed spot on (no more insta-death Artillery shots). Progress has been restored (for all you grinders.....) and things seemed more fun all around. I asked Eskil about the flower+flower combination and he said, "I'll look in to that."

After much laughter and funny banter about uncommonly interesting server-side crap, Eskil asked if I'd "figured out the windmills yet?" Being my usual self, I assuaged his question with an "oh yeah! The wind explosive constantly going off next to the windmill for constant increased power output......" but that wasn't it. There's something ELSE. Then Eskil creeped around up there for a bit with things like "I don't want to spoil it....." and crap. Just as he was about to give us a hint, his internet started crapping out (LIKELY STORY) and I heard something like: "--ndmill rever--- ..... I'll just type it for you." Can you guess what he said?

...

Absolutely nothing. He dropped from the teamspeak channel. The End.

But really, I want to know. I want to make another podcast soon now that Love is interesting and all, so hang out on teamspeak. In the meantime, leave me some comments on what you think is up with the Windmills. Things are getting hot again.

So. Eskil's away again. Just like GDC, things are slumping..... way down. But hey, once we get some progress stability things will be back to normal right? .... right?

Oh well. Keep playing, keep grinding. That's what it's all about now. Props to whoever records the rest of the triple melder effects.

A Beginner's Guide

Posted on 21st July 2010 at 7:56AM GMT+0000 by Samakon | Comments (0)

Hey guys, more awesome media here for you today. I created a nice little guide to beginning love for the new players a few days ago, and I finally have all the crazy streaming media crap up and running. It was recorded live and fully uncut(mostly because I'm really freakin lazy). We tried to keep everything clean and SFW. As a side note: Rastabon sucks. Here's the guide! You can also find these videos on the Getting Started page. Do enjoy!

Updating the Wiki - Avail Edition

Posted on 13th July 2010 at 1:29PM GMT+0000 by Phadon | Comments (0)

So, Avail alpha is out and its time that we revive the to do page once again. Verses might need to be re-jiggered to cope with the new things that have been introduced.

Happy wiki updating, a new podcast is on its way.

Construction of a Love Settlement, The Movie.

Posted on 11th July 2010 at 7:03AM GMT+0000 by Phadon | Comments (0)

Recently, Samakon, Genubon and myself, Rastabon, decided that we should film the construction of a player base, from start to finish. At the time, the server was in a perfect state, so it only took 1 hour 41 minutes in real time to complete the base. I have increased the speed of the video so it completes in 34 minutes, you may want to watch it in the background. In clockwise order, we have Samakon, Rastabon, followed by a static camera watching the progress of construction, and Genubon. A bigger version of the video can be found at Vimeo.

Samakon and Rastabon explore for most of the game. Genubon explores for approximately 30 minutes, then directs his attention to achieving his life-long dream of becoming a Tekton.

The 720p version will be inserted into the podcast feed in a few days, all you need to do is subscribe.

A 30x version of the static camera found in the base is at Youtube, it completes in 3 minutes.

Seriously Now Guys....

Hey everyone. We need to talk some real shit. Old Man Rastabon has decided that our site should be a little bit more serious, and a little less Monitor Lizard links. Rest assured, the Monitor Lizard page will remain on the site here, it just won't be linked as much. Feel free to visit it as often as you like! This will be the last news post containing a direct link to the Monitor Lizard page. To make up for the loss I give you one token of solace:
buy this

PS, be sure to subscribe to the PODCAST for some good discussions on Love with Eskil that don't contain any references to Monitor Lizards.

LiV Episode 3: Eskil Steals a Booth Babe

Posted on 29th June 2010 at 1:57PM GMT+0000 by Phadon | Comments (0)

This is the third episode of the Love in Verses Podcast, here we discuss Eskil's trip to the United States, E3, Eskil's desire to steal a Nintendo 3DS from a Booth Babe, Avail and its matter mixing features, and many other exciting topics.

This episode was very spontaneous, so the levels of the participants are a little off. Sorry, turn up the volume! We'll (Samakon) be sure to fix it next time.
