Long time no see! I'm actually quite proud of a few of the pieces I worked on back then, though they were marketing campaigns and not straightforward games. Fun to hear the numbers, of course!

I run into it every couple years, usually someone sends me a link. Love it! I didn’t know you did the shake up globe… that work is hilarious.

That interactive was the most successful campaign we ever did -- eventually generating over 15 M downloads and was personalized for a number of companies from the Chairman of Universal Studios (2007 Xmas) to The Weepies (2008) to the pharmaceutical drug Lunesta. I still get emails from people around the world every Thanksgiving asking if we've updated the Snowglobe. Pretty amazing given it was done in Flash 2 or something.

One of the most interesting was Terrarium AI (http://www.codeplex.com/terrarium2) which has some similarities to the AI idea behind DinoDrop. I think developing believable animal AI is a fascinating subject and there's a lot of scope to make them more realistic by understanding animal behaviour and how both physiology and resources influence that behaviour.
