What you should be looking forward to instead of more crappy minigames...

You also have to remember, when you're an independent, your best bet is to show off as much as possible, in hopes that a publishing company sees what you have to offer, becomes interested, and decides to finance you.

Much like ProjectOffset. When they started, they had a bunch of videos of their engine running. Now, they've licensed their engine and are creating a game, and I haven't heard a peep from them in a long time.
