AI War and the hidden cost of indie games

We're still hard at work on the AI War 4.0 work, which should be hitting the initial public beta today or tomorrow (for real this time).  In the meantime, if you're interested in facts and figures about the costs of indie game development, you might enjoy this article that came out on PC Gamer's website today:
