Trivia / TerraGenesis

• Sleeper Hit: Alexander Winn created the then-simple game, his 25th app, with very little expectation, and intended it as a cheap throwaway app. The game became popular only when he was developing his next app. Winn remarked, "But then this one started blowing up. My wife and I were actually living in New Zealand at the time for seven months and so we were road tripping around. She was driving and I was on my little MacBook Air in the passenger seat doing bug fixes, pushing out updates on hotel wifi and stuff." This was what drove TerraGenesis to be a full-on game with constant support.
