A snippet from an article by Nick Tipping (of MoonPod Games - who've just released their second game, Mr Robot) posted on the TIGSource Forums:
There are a lot of people who want to be indie developers, and have been trying to finish their first game for years. That doesn't stop them posting on forums. Within a few months of releasing our first game, most of what I had thought to be true turned out to be complete bollocks. If I'd have been posting before we had a game out, I'd have been talking a lot of rubbish.
