And my first MFGJ submission wasn't even a full demo of what we set out to do, and I was working with another experienced programmer, so going from never having made a game to having programmed the basics in Lua and shipping a playable executable by yourself is a big deal! I hope you don't feel discouraged by any things you weren't able to do, and I'm glad you're finally starting down a path you've wanted to be on for so long!
