A few notes

I have been playing Jeff Vogel's games since Exile 3. Its great how the rise of indie, Steam and Apple's stores have really improved his outlook. I started programming because I wanted to make games like his.

The content is in the comments. Most interesting is his experience in the market:

"Google Play has done pretty poorly for us. Amazon App Store has generated a decent amount of sales in the first 10 days, more than Google Play. (Yes, this is why I strongly advise not sticking with Google Play.) Total Android sales are still a tiny, tiny, tiny fraction of what we've done on the iPad. Whatever the many good points of Android for users, it's not been good for us as developers."
