Desktop Tower Defense: the story behind the hit Flash game

Thanks to Digg, the cult RTS now earns the indy developer 20 million page views and high four figures in revenue a month. Expenses: server costs, and a supply of Red Bull.
Personally, I am a huge fan of this game – it is so simple, yet so advanced and strategic. It reminds me of the two games, that in the recent years have had me losing sleep (and I rarely do that to a game): Total Annihilation and its conceptual successor, Supreme Commander.
