I'm so excited to share that LOVE 3 now has full support for custom levels! Now you can create your own levels using any mechanics from any previous level from any previous LOVE game, and I'm working on adding additional customizable objects to challenge players.

You can find everything you need to get new levels or start making your own by visiting LOVE3Custom.com!
Downloading levels is pretty easy and straightforward:

The process for making them is still pretty obtuse, and I'm working on making it easier to use, but the process is this: Go to the directory that you installed LOVE 3 in, and find the "custom" folder. In there there are a couple of sample stages that you can poke apart to see how they're made. You can create your own sprite strips and define them by creating a config.json file, which will have the information for where objects are created in the stage. The only tools you need are your favorite image editor, your favorite text editor, and some patience for some trial and error.

I'm still working on the documentation, but you can find everything you need to get started here!
If you want help making your stage, please come hang out in the Mokuzai Studio Discord, where we'll be happy to help.

I want to specifically thank and credit two folks who helped make this happen:

• Nikita Krapivin: Nik wrote the script that reads the json files and populates the stage. I literally couldn't have done any of this without that.

• James Begg: James wrote a fantastic and simple script that enforces the 3 color rule of LOVE's visual style by replacing the color of every object with the stage color that the player chooses. Now you don't get a mishmash of weird colors when you choose a smasher from kuso and the turrets from LOVE 3.

Also many thanks to the folks at mod.io for hosting everyone's levels for free as a cross platform solution. <3
