Couple notes here:

1. Bryan made enough to go full time indie, but is still working his day job.

2. I made a mistake in saying I didn't have a following with BOTH of my games. I was building an audience with Neversong! But with my first game Pinstripe (which is more successful honestly) I didn't have an audience.

I chat with the creator of Kingdom (Thomas Vanderberg) about how he sold over 1,000,000 copies of his indie game.
