How much money does the production of Overgrowth eat in a month?
Because Jeff and I decided months ago that we could save Wolfire a lot of money by living at home with our parents (thanks Mom and Dad!) our living costs are very low. We have occasional small expenses like traveling to miscellaneous game developer events, bandwidth fees for hosting the alpha (although Mow has donated servers which dramatically reduce this), and random other things that pop up.
