I'm currently planning to release all my future games & comic books for free, although this may be subject to change.
As for monetisation, I plan to sell merchandise one day. (T-shirts, bags, mugs, etc.)
I'm using my free games & comic books to build a fanbase, and might possibly use my free stuff to advertise my merch.
If my merch line does well enough, I'll quit my current job & work on my creative projects full-time. :D
