Congrats on the article and exposure. I didn't know you were the author of that article, I see you practiced what you preached [grin]

So, what's next on the agenda?

Nice article!

So it was you, huh?

Ah yeah, good find, didn't remember that post. I hope my actions(and the result of them) speak against the people doubting what I recommended you guys back then and that more people follow the advice.

EDIT: Oh and about what I'm gonna do next. Not sure. Hoping to take a break from uni and do some independent development. I'm doing some websites for a couple of companies now on the side but I _might_ start to work half time for a company and work on another iPhone game, got some crazy ideas. I'm also considering doing sequel to Asterope.

You just gamedevd slashdot, and slashdotted gamedev. How many routers are you trying to take out?

Congrats.

I'm really interested to see what kind of revenue you can get from this. You should do an article with GameProducer.net

I wouldn't count on much. The general slashdot crowd is rabidly anti-proprietary software and think that all software should be free.

Sorry, I meant revenue from the iphone app itself, not the article. I have no idea what kind of sales one should expect from the iphone market.

Gah, that was terrible. Finally getting an article on Slashdot and GDnet's DNS goes foobar, maybe have not been able to access the site today :/

That was what Mithrandir meant, he think nobody who visits Slashdot is willing to pay $3.99 for a game :)

And I could do a follow up how the game's sales have gone in a month or two. So far I'm a far way from even having made a decent hourly pay from all the work I've put into it and sales have gone down after the game got pushed down on all "What's new" lists. It's a competitive market and there's sooo much junk in the AppStore you get easily buried in it. Still fun to have you own game actually for sale.
