Pretty much what the title says. I just started working with LOVE2d, but I thought I'd ask this now.

I haven't checked out love's capabilities for saving/loading game data, but I was wondering if it was possible to release a game, and then add onto the game with "expansions".

In short, yes, it's possible.

Though it will depend heavily on many things, including whether it'll be a commercial release or not, if it will be, will it be on itch.io or steam, would you want to distribute expansions separately or via a custom auto-updater, and such minute details.
