Emeric Thoa offers a glimpse at the numbers behind The Game Bakers’ iOS game, SQUIDS:
In this article, I will present all of the post-mortems and figures I’ve found interesting, and I will also explain how SQUIDS fits into the overall picture. But first, I would like to quickly give my opinion on few of the App Store myths you may believe if you’re not an experienced iOS developer. There are plenty of ways to view the App Store, but my point is that you might be a bit surprised by what the App Store really means in terms of money.
There’s some good information there for indie game developers (or aspiring indie game developers) who want to make it big on the iOS app store, including links to other developers’ post-mortems and lots of hard numbers.
