I am also highly unnoticed, but here is a fact: about 1 in 20 indie games are published, of those only 30% succeed (gain fame), and of those only 7% will generate good enough revenue to fund a second project (assuming you have a budget). Also, only 15% of indie game developers take home $100,000 annually. It takes time, it's hard, and it's stressful, but if you are committed you will keep going and eventually make it.
