Arther approached me after a talk I gave in Santa Monica a few weeks ago and asked if he could do an interview. I said yes, he sent questions, I answered them, and here’s the result:

I haven’t been updating the blog very often, so I’m going to give some highlights from the past few months:
You can see from the above why we’ve been so busy. More cool stuff on the way. Stay tuned.
I got a chance to pitch Shotgun Duel recently at the SFAppShow. James and I pitched Air Guitar at the very first SFAppShow exactly one year earlier, which was hosted in the Apple Store in San Francisco. We’ve attended just about every one since then, and it’s always been our favorite iPhone event. For this one I got to pitch with the likes of Flipboard, Waze, Thump and more!
Sometime in the last day Inedible Software crossed 10 million total downloads between all of our apps. We certainly didn’t think two years ago when we started this company that millions of people would enjoy our creations, but we’re certainly pleased and proud that they have.
After just one month on the store Shotgun Duel crossed 1 million downloads yesterday. Totally awesome. Not many apps (perhaps less than 0.1%) make it up this high.
After a two week climb up the charts Shotgun Duel has topped out as the #5 free app on the iTunes Store. Awesome. Best yet, it made it that high only being promoted by our other applications and not by advertisements or other sources of downloads.
I haven’t posted much about the climb of Shotgun Duel since launch, but I wanted to mention that Shotgun Duel just crossed into the Top 25 in Canada for the first time. We’ve previously been or still are Top 25 in Norway, Finland, Italy and the United States.
Apple made Shotgun Duel “New & Noteworthy” in the Entertainment category. Looks like they’re fans too :-)
Shotgun Duel has been steadily climbing the charts in the last 48 hrs its been on the store.

We’re super pumped to announce that TechCrunch was written an awesome piece about Shotgun Duel that they featured on their front page! This could definitely be the biggest coverage we’ve ever gotten.
