It sounds like the author works on Unangband full-time. I can't help wondering how he can afford that with a free niche product.

- plinkplonk 17y ago"It sounds like the author works on Unangband full-time. " From the page linked to,(emphasis mine) "I'm a IT manager from New Zealand who spent the last 5 and a half years working in the United Kingdom. I've just emigrated to Sydney, Australia with my wife, and spend my free time at the moment developing Unangband and blogging. I also write as the Amateur for GameSetWatch." I guess this could be interpreted to mean he is not working and all his time is "free time" but it doesn't sound very likely. It sounds like he has a fulltime job and is working on unangband parttime.
- ricree 17y agoTarn Adams, the developer of Dwarf Fortress ( bay12games.com/dwarves/ ), is working on the game fulltime. He gets enough in donations to get by for the most part, but even living cheaply he still ended up spending around $2000 more than he took in last year.
