has the app store made any indie developers millionaries?

Pocket God and iShoot maybe.

 

I was just reading the other day that Pocket God has had 2 million downloads - making it the first game to reach that milestone.

 

Yes!

Doodle Jump must be by now... It had 80,000 d/w on just Xmas day!

And the guy that made Trism aswell I think. Well, he made enough to quit his job.

 

Haha I downloaded Doodle Jump on Christmas Day, awesome

 

well ishoot had made over a million dollars so i suppose thats one.

 

Tapolous, producer of Tap Tap series earns more than million a month.
That is impressive.
But they do not come from Indie, though.

 

does Firemint count? I remember a while ago, months back, Flight control passed the million sale mark.
also what about Rolando. I know it's published by ngmoco but what about the guy who created the game

 

Definitely Bolt Creative [Pocket God] I believe they passed the 2 million copies sold mark, so a buck a copy that $2M..Not including DLC

[And then there's Apple's/OF's cut, but still]

 

Pocket god, ishoot, doodle jump...havent heard of many others

 

Is Firemint considered indie?

 

nope. if they're planning to submit flight control onto dsiware, they can't be indie devs

 

Flight controll just passed 2 million sales, but they are no indie.

 

Firemint was indie before their success aye?

 

The guys who developed Doodle Jump and iShoot.

 

I'm sure Illusion Labs has made over a million in combined downloads. Of course, there's Apple's cut, development costs, and splitting of profits, so probably none of them have a million for themselves, but that's not to say they're not living incredibly comfortably.

 

sucks, considering how much better their games are than doodle jump and pocket god

 

Bolt Creative is planning to port Pocket God to other consoles, so that means nothing.
