A downloadable engine for Windows and Linux

Couch is my attempt to rescue couch co-op games from the brink, and it's also a project I'm using to learn OpenGL. It's very rough right now, but some parts of it work well enough that I want to open it up for feedback. It is free-as-in-speech software, and will always be. It is also free-as-in-beer software for now, but in the future I may charge for it.

The couch game engine has the graphical fidelity of the PSX and shaders to mimic it's look, but retains the ease of programming typical to projects like LOVE2D.


Currently I have a Linux and Windows version running.

I welcome feedback, contact me "dane AT danejohnson DOT org"
