Oh yes-- getting out a demo so it can be part of the jam entries is VERY important actually! (I'm always surprised by how many hits I get from Jam pages, woo!) Having a demo is a great motivator though and as long as you're getting a little work done; even just a TINY bit in a day; as long as you do it consistently-- you'll get there!
ALSO AW!!! THANK YOU! I am really proud of Disaster Log C and always love hearing people enjoyed it~ Nami is helping me with another game that will hopefully be coming out in 2018-- though she's just doing the music, and helping coding it's still a project we're both very passionate about. :D Hehe! GAME DEV!!!
