About
MTJC podcast is a show about mobile development. Each week Jaime Lopez, Mark Rubin (sometimes Greg Heo and Tammy Coron) and myself, Tim Mitra, will convene from across the continent to discuss iOS and Mac development. We discuss current issues to find out what developers are talking about, what their apps are about, what they are using to create their apps and what advice they have for other developers (or those looking to become one). We also have news, notes and tech tips for developers.

I'm a bit of a jack of all trades ;) > What made you decide on pay what you want? I wanted to try IAPs. But locking features down would hurt the game. Especially given its create and share functionality, which benefits from having many users contribute content. PWYW "solves" these issues and seems relatively untried in the app stores. > We talk about devs charging decent money for their work. How has the IAP performed. Not to be to specific. Are you happy with the result? I charge exactly what the app is worth to you, couldn't get more decent than that. Are people paying? Some. (Thank you!) Am I making minimum wage? No. Will I survive? Yes, I'm extremely frugal. > What cause the app to tip? Was it marketing, interviews, luck? Would it be presumptuous of me to suggest that the quality of the game played a role? Making it free helped too. > How long did it take? Were you working on it exclusively? I'm a full time indie dev. I worked exclusively on the game for almost a year and a half. > How are your other apps doing, do you have any? My first game (in my current solo constellation) was 2015's Odd Bot Out. It's pay to play and has done better than Mekorama (so far).
