seriously no reason to be embarrassed it's actually really good. One of the better indies I've played. I'm going to be starting a project shortly that will be taking a lot of my programming time so atm I can't really do anything else in that area. But in the future I will definitely hit you up if you are still into story writing. However if you are looking to start getting into programming and haven't yet just go for it man. There are a lot of really good and free resources. What I would start with if you haven't already is either codeacademy.com or a program called scratch. Scratch is a program made by MIT which is drag and drop programming so it's a great place to start and learn the basics of programming without having to worry about the syntax of any specific language. But seriously it's never too early to start that stuff.
