    Physics Based Flash Development with Editor

    May 14th, 2010 | | | | | |

    We once again teamed up with Oysterdome Games to produce a 2d adventure game based in a simulated physics engine. The framework for the game was developed to allow for multiple environment settings and assets. This will allow multiple games to be produced out of the same system.

    The game features an emulator/editor mode that allows for the creation of new levels and testing sound and behaviors for items, obstacles and enemies.

    BEHAVIORS
    The game comes with a set of predefined features such as Colliders (for detecting collisions), Health (lose too much, you die), Destroy (destroy another item), Patrol (move between two points), Impluse (like a fan), and many others.

    ASSET LIBRARY
    There is also a library where items can be previewed and placed into the game. This allows for external editing of animations and assets, then they are pulled into the game and given behaviors to make them interact with the engine.

    Social Media - Libraries For Literacy

    April 11th, 2010 | | | | |

    flash profile wall

    We created a demo site for Libraries for Literacy which is intended to generate interest and funding to create a site that will promote literacy as well as allow people to social networking siteshare the books they love. The site will allow users to create reading lists of recommended books and promote the purchase of these books, the proceeds of which will promote literacy worldwide. We created a reader’s wall prototype where you can browse a wall of profile photos as well as a rough shell for the site.

    A/B Testing - Convincing a homeowner to lower their assessment

    March 22nd, 2010 | | | | |

    Does anyone want to think of their home as potentially worth less than it is? No, but if you can prove to a county assessor that it is, it could result in thousands of dollars in savings.

    Acting as CTO of ValueAppeal I had to design a campaign to not only appeal to this argument but test one or two iterations and determine which is more affective.

     
    SAVINGS view
     
    EMPOWERMENT view

    We decided to appeal to two psychological aspects that we identified, being treated unfairly by the county, and the fact that you can do something about it.

    But in addition we had to also educate the person about how it works and that they can actually save money at no risk to them.

    Testimonials: Others are doing it… And they are saving money.
     
    a/b test testimonials
    Risk Free: If you don’t save money you get a full refund

    What do I get? Give them a taste of what they are purchasing.

    flash physics developmentflash baseball game development

    We worked with Oysterdome games to create an interactive home run derby game. Built in Flash and Flex, we created a mock physics engine to render the ball flying through the air and simulated the zooming and panning. After you smack the ball to the camera will follow it like a real baseball game. See how many home runs you can hit before striking out.

    We recently helped refine some of the UI design for Corelytics before a major release. The following are a few samples of some of the statistic screens. In addition to some information architecture we also created a few Javascript powered calculators which help the users setup their data configurations.

    Seattle Startup, Value Appeal, Launches

    July 1st, 2009 | | | | | | | | |

    Our Lead Technologist, Matt Willis, has partnered up with Charlie Walsh to help found ValueAppeal. A site that helps home owners evaluate and challenge their property taxes.web-development-va-home

    Property taxes are expensive, and with the fall in housing prices across the nation, your taxes are more likely than ever to have been assessed unfairly in relation to other homes in your area. startup-architecture-va-resultsThat can add up to hundreds and thousands of dollars in overpayment each year–and the problem is, most people won’t see a refund unless they speak up.

    We architected a service that allows people to simply enter their address and we analyze and make a suggested evaluation on a fair tax evaluation.

    If the user chooses to move on there is a series of tools they use to select their comparables and create their argument.property-records-va-comps

    The site is developed on the .NET platform and aggregates data from various property data sources into SQL Server where it is compiled and analyzed.
