Hello,
If I choose to self-publish - either by Print-On-Demand or by using a site to sell one copy at a time (see e.g. thegamecrafter.com) - does this mean a publishing company or an agent will not consider the game I have been running through my POD or thegamecrafter.com site?
On one hand, proving that some people have actually bought or played or at least downloaded a game should be a positive indication to an agent. On the other hand, will this be considered as me having given away my game mechanics/idea and as such reducing its value?
Any agents out there that can confirm one of the two notions? Any developers that have been refused representation or publishing on the grounds of existing self-publication?
Thanks in advance
Dimitris
