If you sell your IP, ask for an ongoing royalty, even if you only get a very small one. Sometimes this is called (forgive the phrase) "schmuck insurance". The idea is, if you sell something and it blows up you won't regret it because your small piece becomes meaningful. I have worked in games a long time and in retrospect I really appreciate how big a difference business savvy can have on your career. Experienced people can't necessarily make you talented, but they may be able to improve your deal choices.
