I'm only in this to learn a new skill in what spare time I have while taking care of the household stuff for my father during his twilight years.  My main objective is to learn Python as it's an interesting language .  For my starting point I chose Ren'Py as it is open source and written with Python, it's also an easy introduction to the way Python works.

Although I'm still starting out, within 6 months I have managed to publish my first kinetic novel.  Although some, ok maybe most, may find it dicey, I did find an author that has allowed me to use a story he wrote for my project.

Working alone, I learned some basic coding skills, development skills, as well as some artistic skills.  Thankfully,  I did not have to learn how to write a story!

The author was impressed with my efforts  and is eagerly awaiting chapter 2 of his story.  As I learn new things, I incorporate them.  I've also learned through this site that a devlog is invaluable.  Not only to me but others that may view it.  OOPS... :off topic mode off:

Advice:

To get a wide variety of reviews (and if you have the time) http://roastmygame.com/ may be a good start.   If you post there you'll need to keep an eye on the reviews and respond when appropriate.

Just enjoy what you are doing is all I'm saying.
