Love is being developed by Eskil alone, without funding or support. He is responsible for all code, design, networking, engine, art, pipeline and tools. More than just being an experiment in game design. The game first released on GDC2009. Its Alpha test ended on January 1st.

In the style of oil arts, both environment and characters in game are abstract. There is no PvP, no instance, just like a dreamland. This is a game to play with your friends, and for them to play with their friends. Never enough to be crowded; never so few to be alone.

Love is easy

Love is played form a first person view, because you should see the world not yourself. The controls of Love are designed to be a simple as possible to let you engage more in the story. Not dumbed down, but purified. All the mechanics designed to act as story devices to help the narrative. Each server has about 200 people registered, but as the same people comeback again and again you can make friends and get story continuity. With so few players you can get to know most of them and you can matter to the world. When you go to play Love its not just to see what is going to happen, its to see what has happened since your last play session too.
