It will be hard. Finishing a game is always hard.
From what you write, it seems you haven't finished a game before. If you go ahead and start an overly ambitious project, you will most likely get frustrated quickly and then stop.
My advice for you: Start small. Make some simple and small games, maybe clones of pong, tetris, pacman... That way you will not only learn more about lua and LÖVE, but you will also learn about yourself and your abilities. Once you have done this, you will be able to answer the question "Will this be hard or easy?" for yourself, because you start to understand how much work game development is.
I hope this does not discourage you: Game development is a great hobby and can be very rewarding. So, try your luck with a smaller project, get better and then eventually do a bigger project!!
