$5 app made me rich

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008 • No Comment

Not many of us can say that but, 29 year old Steve Demeter, developer of Trism can proudly state this. After two months his app Trism, priced at only $5, made him $250,000 in profits after only two months. After attending the 2007 iPhone conference Demeter decided to brainstorm with a few friends and see what, if anything was possible. The result of the brainstorming was Trism, a fantastically new puzzle game that utilizes all the iPhone’s amazing features, including its tilt functions.

He has now started his own company, Demiforce, which already has salaried employees, 5 games currently in development and two scheduled for release by Christmas. That’s pretty ambitious for such a new company, but it seems with Demeter’s skill set the company is on a very promising path.
