Obviously not successful enough to do a sequel. The games industry doesn't pay too much in royalties, so you need giant hits to make a significant profit. Still, they haven't gone bankrupt.

There was a photo of him on a site related to the Independant Games Festival award, but I can't find it. Oddly enough, doing an image search on Google for "Dragon Pass" turns up a lot of screen shots.
