Anyway the numbers for Geometry Wars are interesting... 200K downloads and 45K sales.

    It is really exciting and inspiring to see numbers like that. Especially looking at the game and realizing how "in-reach" it is for indies. It's almost not-real to look at a game like HALO, as an indy, because you can say to yourself, "We can't do something like that," but looking at great Arcade games like Geometry Wars and such, you can see that you can make it big, with something small.

    There's also a quote from Steve Taylor about Outpost Kaloki, who has posted here a couple of times. He's a local, and he is hosting the Utah Indie Game Dev Meet on Wednesday night.
