LOL, I feel for you as, the baby came a week early, but I'll have something show... may be.
Still I'm glad you learned some new things and a lot of stuff sounds cool.
However, I'm concerned with the idea of finishing the game later-- to be honest, I've never finished a game like that when I say that.
Thus, I suggest you make a game with one of those systems you learned next month.
Or, if this game is so large, every month, make one level of the game using the systems you've learned.
So, what can I do to help?
