Hi again! Sorry, I just overlooked the line at the top, I think it's almost clear now, thanks!
I do not fully get what you mean with the third way, but 1) I am far away from releasing anything (if I only had more time for it ...) 2) The game will most probably be non-commercial anyway.
There is a huge amount of "not-really-good-looking" games and sprites out there and your's are really an exception. No sweet-talkin, it's a fact. Keep up the good work, if you are interested, I can share some prototype screenshots with you as soon as they are vailable.
