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.

The Windows Media Center team asked us to create a hero slideshow, developed in Microsoft Silverlight in order to showcase their product video spots. The slideshow is fully configurable for size, number of slides, thumbnail colors and slide duration using an XML document.
We developed a new Vista gadget that connects to a live feed and calculates a real-time count of how many unique users are using Windows™ Media Center. The gadget acts as a counter for the internal team to monitor subscriptions and their product’s use.
We leveraged our web development experience and previous work with Google APIs to create a multimedia rich site that integrates directly with MSN Soapbox. Similar to Google’s YouTube, Soapbox allows a suite of services available through their API allowing us to manage the videos and stream them from the MSN site and take advantage of commenting and rating the videos on our site as well as theirs. In addition, it implements the Windows Live authentication service.
We helped IndieShares launch their pilot site that seeks to provide independent film writers a portal to support and production funding while at the same time allowing film enthusiasts the ability to personally invest in scripts that they love.
