Recks Studio (Love2d IDE)
A downloadable tool for Windows
Recks Studio (Early Access Demo)
Simple Love2D IDE / Player / Exe Builder
Features: Syntax Highlighting, Build to Windows (More to come)
Lua and Love2D has been a passion of mine for quite some time. I avoided Love for the longest time due to there being such limited options for an IDE environment for the language. Programs like VSCode for example were such a pain to get set up so I decided to create a IDE designed specifically for Love out of love with features that made life easier and the adventure into game development more enjoyable for future designers.
Recks Studio (name came from a project idea) is still currently in-development and still has a long list of features planned and needed to be added but is currently being released as a usable demo to get feedback and possible feature requests.
Hope you guys enjoy!
RecksStudio - EA (paid, still a WIP) now contains a TileMap editor in the IDE and supports animations. TileMap Editor Tool allows saving of maps directly to .lua
Upcoming: More polished features, QoL settings, Pixel Editor.
Free and Paid versions will both continue to be updated. Feel free to report any bugs or suggestions to help further improve the project <3
V1.1 (12/17/25) - Added Live Coding (still wip) , Code Completion implemented
V1.1DM (12/20/25) - Migrated Editor to a Dark Mode Theme

Any news? I would pay 9.99 but it seems the IDE development is dead, right?Oh just for windows? No linux?
It was made with C#/WPF so, currently Windows only atm. It's still being worked on. I actually forgot about the paid version as I moved the tile editor to a Web version. I will push an update though this coming week.
As long as no linux or web version for the love2d ide i don´t need it.
Well three weeks later ;)
It was updated... linux is not planned id have to rewrite the whole thing
Thanks. It's still a wip, but it is getting there.
