Doubloons! free this week

My first completely independent game 'Doubloons!' has been 'selling' for about a month now on iTunes. This was the first project I completed with iTorque2D, and my first attempt at making a game by myself (I was a senior programmer at Gameloft), so I was feeling pretty pleased with myself when I was able to tell all my mates to buy my game.

Lessons Learned, Where was HirePin.com?

One of the hardest lessons for me to learn as an Indie game developer was that I couldn't do it alone. All of the work that goes into making a good game requires a lot of different talents, ranging from programming to graphic design to 3D modeling to sound and music. And when I tried to perform each of these roles, it simply dragged out the game development project too much.
