In a recent interview with Wired, developer Ethan Nicholas admits he made about $600,000 in a single month with his iPhone game iShoot. The game was his first and surely won’t be his last. Ethan Nicholas quit his day job as an engineer at Sun Microsystems the day iShoot reached the number one position at the App Store, raking in $37,000 in a single day, but it wasn’t all easy for Ethan Nicholas. While working as an engineer, he worked on iShoot about eight hours a day. Nicholas had never programmed a game for the iPhone before but he couldn’t afford to purchase books to learn how to write code. He decided to learn from various websites and ended up teaching himself while creating the game.
