Had to share with this community, I decided for my second game to just rip off the band-aid and I entered a game jam targeted at beginners. I placed 3rd - with 1st and 2nd going to more seasoned game developers. I never imagined that, going in, I would be on the pedestal. I just have to thank everyone that participates in game development and indie gaming as a community - including you, reading this.

Thank you for the in-depth response!~ I too remember much time spent playing around with RPG Maker XP and WC3 map editor (and I did Pascal/Python instead of BASIC), so I relate on many levels programming-communism

That kind of feeling is also exactly what I got in the old Hexbear mini-jam, so that is really cool to hear. Think I will make an effort to seek out some beginner game jams, then!
