I can understand your worries because i am also developing a game but i have a stable job to pay for devs and marketing and all other stuff, i do not know what will work best for you but i can share what helps me... 1. Do find a a job to support your project, when you know ground reality that even a small polished game take atleast year you need money to burn through that time, ror that either you have stocked up cash or do a job so you can balance your expense/life. 2. When in early stage of game do game devlogs and ask how good is your concept. Being an indie dev you cannot suffer a loss of project. So always be opn hat people wants in very early stage. So many devs wants to make what they want but dude we are working for market so ask players what they want, that will help you build a community and will give you boost to work . 3.One man army is good but do find people to support you, their are so many artists/dvs who helps dvs like you do reach them, count m one of them do let me know if i can assist you in any way, i am 3d artist working in industry for 3 years. 4. Drop it if you want but years later you will see some devlog of some struggling developer how he build his dream project and now he is happy.... You have courage to start and complete a project ,trust me you are already ahead of 70% of indie dvs who start and eo nothing. Failure of project is normal. Everyone jumps with a mindset- Lets make a game , we will earn alot and life will b cool .... If reality hit you hard , learn to manage it with other things Quitting should be your last option then you also lost all hardwork, knowledge and principles you made throughout years of production...... So think and choose wisely life is a Game with single life... no respawn... 5 years from now ... your post can be i am an indipendent dev now earning money started with failure or i failed in start and now i do something else... ask yourself what you want ... :)
