I think it's too early to determine that. Either way, I'm not asking for very much, and I don't really need that much to live.

I am the type of person that needs to sell a "white box of quality" rather than a "flashy box of mediocrity," even if this causes me difficulty in marketing.

You need to accept that your definition of quality may be different from that of your customers. Consider: do you write games in order that they be enjoyed by people? Then why are you marketing it in a way that will ensure that far fewer people even give it a second glance?

Because I won't compromise on my vision or my integrity, because as soon as I do I may begin to compromise in other areas, perhaps tailoring the gameplay to the widest market instead of making something magical that I believe in.

Even it isn't the best way to market it, it is the right choice for me.
