Baby Twitter (by Phil Botha)

A guy on Twitter with 600,000+ followers made a flight simulator game 100% with AI. It looks like shit, but many people play because he built it in public and they like him.

He’s known in the indie developer community because he makes a lot of money and is very open about which projects work and how much they make. His top earner is photoAI.com, at $123k/month.

He’s also known for monetizing as much as he can. He’s shameless about it. He sells a book ($14k/month), has a shop ($12k/month), and makes money from his Twitter posts (much less/month).

Levels

Another example is that he almost immediately started selling ad space in his game. They come in the form of blimps floating around for players to see.

He got so shameless that even Nikita Bier, a guy who charges $5,000/hour for consults about growing social media apps, called him out.
