hawkthorne-journey VS makelove

Oh Man I haven't heard of this framework in years!

There was this amazing fan game made to mimic an episode of this tv show called Community. The show is about a group of community college students getting into all sorts of hijinks and one episode had all of them go into this video 8 bit video game world....so LÖVE was used to recreate the game exactly as you see in the show.

Unfortunately it is running on a very old version at this point and I hear due to how the framework has changed upgrading is not straightforward. It interesting to see how software changes and grows over time. Fortunately the last version released still seems to work fine on modern machines. (at least it runs on my M1 Mac)

Glad you were able to work around it. Unfortunately this isn't the first time this has been reported: https://github.com/hawkthorne/hawkthorne-journey/issues/2551

Here y'all go https://projecthawkthorne.com/

Looks like the project has seen better days but here: https://github.com/hawkthorne/hawkthorne-journey

If anyone wants to play the game, you can find it at https://projecthawkthorne.com/

I don't think it's a reference, it's just a more videogame-ish sounding name: Journey to the Center of Hawkthorne. There's also a fan project of people building that game btw!

Journey To The Centre of Hawktorne

It’s free on PC https://projecthawkthorne.com/

There are some packaging tools that help with distribution (like https://github.com/pfirsich/makelove/ - I made this). What would you like improved?

I made a tiny score attack game about juggling beach balls to get started. I used makelove to export Windows, Mac, and LoveJS exports. Everything seems to be working smoothly, except that the LoveJS browser export fails to run in Chrome incognito and Firefox Private browsing windows. After some trial and error, I figured out this was caused by a blocked cookie for "hwcdn.net". Once I allow that cookie, the game runs. All this behavior should be reproducible on other machines.
