summary
Starts with a Flash prototype that earns $10,000 and $1 and turns into Super Crate Box, then ports to mobile as Ridiculous Fishing which is cloned — Ninja Fishing clone made $1M — prompting press outreach and a GDC talk; builds an open tool — presskit open-source tool — used widely; develops Nuclear Throne over 2.5 years live-streamed on Twitch, shares concrete tips: negotiation tactic (ask much higher), Twitch schedule and cheap gear (~$100 mic/webcam), and team advice grounded in Google-backed psychological safety research.
