Not sure if this is old news or not, but, WOW, that's a lot of coin for a project the guy created in his spare time.

Developer strikes it rich with iPhone game

Bonus: a picture of Nicole Lapin.


Great game too, I bought it months ago.

Quite a few months old. Good story nonetheless.

If you don't have this game, you need to get. By far the best in the App store

No, I didn't even know about that story. This appeared on Wired on September 19th... http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2008/09/indie-developer.html

Covered at MacRumors as well...CNN is a bit slow on the uptake.

Wow, real slow. Thanks for the links.

I guess their slogan should be:

Too bad that's not really possible anymore. He made it by having a game at launch, and showing videos and getting coverage before launch. Now that there's 1700 games in the App Store, you'd have to do a LOT of advertising to get ANYWHERE near that many sales.
