Get ready for the upcoming LÖVE Jam 2025! We’re excited to announce our new LÖVE Game Development & Automated Build System that takes the pain out of building and publishing LÖVE games across multiple platforms. Whether you’re a jam veteran or just starting with LÖVE, our project template will help you focus on what matters most – creating your game!
Level Up your LÖVE game development momentum
Game jams are intense! The last thing you want to worry about is how to package and publish your game when the deadline is looming. Our LÖVE Game Development & Automated Build System handles all the heavy lifting with automated builds for every major platform:
- 🪟 Windows (both
.zip
and self-extracting.exe
) - 🍏 macOS (App bundle and
.dmg
Disk Image) - 🐧 Linux (AppImage and tarball)
- 🤖 Android (
.apk
and.aab
) - 📱 iOS
- 🌐 Web (HTML5 with Itch.io compatibility)
Seamless Development Experience
We’ve crafted a development environment on top of Visual Studio Code or VSCodium that makes coding a joy:
- 🌕 Rich Lua language features with intelligent code completion
- 🐛 Built-in debugging capabilities
- 💕 LÖVE API intellisense for quick reference
- ️⌨️ Keyboard shortcuts for launching your game
Automated Publishing
Created something amazing? Publishing is just a git tag away! Our GitHub Actions workflows automatically:
- Build your game for all platforms
- Create a GitHub release with all assets
- Publish directly to Itch.io (optional)
The game web builds work with Itch.io’s web player, so your game can be played directly in the browser.
Perfect for the LÖVE Jam 2025
With the LÖVE Jam 2025 approaching, our template can get you up and running quickly. Instead of scrambling to package your game in the final hours, you can focus on polishing your gameplay and adding those final touches that could make your entry stand out.
