   I've thought
   about getting a partner with more "coder-dog" skills to help with my "real"
   game, but I wanna do all by myself :^).

Something I've found (as a person who basically learned programming from
writing games); it is often very helpful to have another person involved
in working on the game.  There are a couple of reasons for this: 1) the
other person will often think of things in a different way than you do,
and can help find solutions to problems that have you stumped, 2)
another person helping you will often keep you motivated to continue
working on the program.

Finding someone who has complimentary skills is also good in that you
can share tasks and accomplish more.  I've always had problems finishing
things because I had trouble figuring out how to do something or from
losing interest in the game.  If I'd had someone else to work with, I
think it would have been very helpful.
