Feature Requests

[Fred]

Hey guys, I'm working on some fixes for the game as well as some minor content additions.

I don't promise to add everything that gets requested in this thread, but I'll definitely look at every single one and weigh the importance as well as the feasibility.

Note: Currently there's no plans for Steam Workshop for Love Custom. I know that'd be awesome, but it's just not currently in the cards. It's something I'd very much like to add, but that's not feasible right now.

Also, here's a tease of something to come:

Hi,
I just bought Love since it looked like just my kind of game,
however I was quite dissapointed when I found out that you are not able to rebind keys.
I use a "SNES Controller " (CSL) which isn't even recognised, and even though I own a Xbox controller, I don't consider it's D-pad usable.

People, get the YOLO achievement while it's "easy".

You have been warned.

[Fragioli [Olive Garden]]

Echoing the request to rebind keys. I'm using JoyToKey with my controller, but the problem is that I keep accidentally hitting down+spawn simulatenously which resets my spawn points. It's maddening!

[Fokeens]

Can you please add couple of minutes to the achievement "gotta go fast". It was doable when there were 12 levels. But now there are 16 and the timer on that is still 10 minutes. Which means you need to beat those new 4 levels in a minute or so???

[Fearless Airlines]

I agree STRONGLY with Fokeens. It only makes sense to add more time.

Right now it's like you added four more miles to the Tour de France but expect riders to compete with times run on the shorter course.

Here is my idea: If new players finish the original 12 levels in time, they get an achievement. ADD another achievement for completing the 16 levels in time.

The irony is that this is the first game I've really tried to get time achievements for. Then I learned about the time and the new levels when I started speedrunning it. Aint' that a kick in the pants?

How many people have gotten the achievement since the 4 extrra levels were added compared to the amount of people that got it before?

This is my only gripe surrounding the game. I can't think of Love now without a bit of Hate.

I would love to see a "practice mode" of sorts. Since the main goal for me is to find the fastest way through a level, i'd rather not have to go through every level just to experiment with level 10, for example. It would be even cooler if you could have it keep track of individual level times to refer to.

I'd like practice mode to encompass just a single level. You can repeat it over and over, and it will show your best time and current time at the top left. When you finish the level, it just resets and puts you back at the start of the level.

[Justavian]

Also - am i mising something? How do i even view my best scores / times? I don't see that stuff anywhere in the game.

One huge feature request: a way to play at a higher framerate.

[Fred]

The game's logic is tied to it being 30fps. That's not a switch I can just flip, so the game will remain at 30fps. I'm sorry.

[fontainelefunk]

I would request a counter on the level select screen showing fastest time/deaths/spawn points etc for each individual stage.

[It's Raining Men!]

rebinding controls was already mentioned in the first comment but seriously bro, I'm left handed and I grew up playing twitch shooters; WASD and ESDF are the only way I can play on keyboard and this game doesn't seem to be able to accept inputs from my mayflash adapter. Is there something in a file I can manually edit to accomplish this or am I just boned?

[flygon]

Could you add a button for suicide instead of just the UP + X? And maybe a key config as well?

[amateur]

Don't know if you're still taking requests but is it possible to get a quick restart button for the speedrun mode?

[xubiod]

I have three simple requests for the custom version of Love.

- Can you make it able to change the jump sound in LoveCustom? (It's kinda annoying)
- Can you disable anti-aliasing for LoveCustom? (I dislike the blurriness)
- Can you add some modes into LoveCustom? (speedrun with custom timers, unlimited lives, etc.)

It would be nice if these were implemented into LoveCustom.

[Fred]

I hate to say it, but I can't actually do ANYTHING to LoveCustom without rebuilding it from scratch, and the methods I've used in Game Maker 7 to make LoveCustom work don't exist in Game Maker Studio.

If I had a bunch of money and a team backing me, that's something I'd like to put a lot of effort into in a followup to LOVE.

Not that there's a followup underway or anything.
