Haven't heard of love2d but have heard of pico-8. I've avoided most game dev tutorials because they seem overly focused on beginners, which is fine, but want to find more advance materials that assume the reader knows some basics.

Maybe I should reconsider and dive more into game dev.

This series of tutorials might be of interest: https://github.com/a327ex/blog/issues/30

> It's aimed at programmers who have some experience but are just starting out with game development, or game developers who already have some experience with other languages or frameworks but want to figure out Lua or LÖVE better.

Also on the topic of game engines with lua scripting, the wonderful Defold always deserves a mention https://defold.com/
