If you're okay with C/C++ a really good resource to look at is Handmade Hero (https://handmadehero.org/)

He's creating a game pretty much from scratch and documenting the whole process on video.

If not I would check out MonoGame (http://www.monogame.net/) It's cross platform and technically you can build your game without an IDE.

You can also do browser based games with libraries such as Phaser (https://phaser.io/) and Play Canvas (https://playcanvas.com/)

Having the game live reload on build is possible but imo it's more trouble than it's worth in most cases. You pretty much need to split you game logic out into a shared library (DLL, SO, JAR) and then have the shell executable load it in a runtime.
