Nice article!

iPhone app marketing in the App
store is the next big thing:

Positive customer reviews and
ratings are the most important once you release an app, since most people look
at those things first.

iPhone App Marketing services like the one linked provide this
additional boost to app sales cheap and fast.

It really helps with increasing
sales and customer perception!

I also found Google App Engine to be far better than other players in the market. I am using it as a image CDN though as i have my wesites coded in asp.net.

Hey Noel,

Love the blog. We here at Chinzilla, Inc. are also an indie game developer focusing on iOS. Attached is our office space (my apartment). Working with my wife and a good friend from previous company. That is our overlord / mascot chinchilla over there on the far end.

Similar story for me. Moved out of the home office so that the family wouldn’t have to tip-toe around when they were home. Build a nice office within walking distance with 3 desks though most of the time it is just me working there. I think the best part may be the walk to work which is healthy on a lot of levels.

Mostly health reasons (sitting for hours on end is really bad for you apparently). You can read more here, when I did the transition two years ago http://gamesfromwithin.com/my-standing-desk-experiment

For me, in particular, I was having problems with my hamstrings being too tight (running, cycling, and then sitting all day was really messing them up). Standing has solved that problem completely for me.

For me it was mostly this:

Plus it’s way easier to break into spontaneous dance, and I feel like “Commander Badass” when I’m on a roll.

I’ve also recently rented an office (with 2 other self employed guys – we split the bills 3 ways but otherwise don’t work together, they are web developers).

It’s cheap and not nearly as nice as yours, but it gets me out of the house and into a “work environment” – I find I’m much more productive there than at home.
