"Chomp" Web Promos
In this business, it's always a lot of fun to do work for someone you admire. This was certainly the case when we got the call from Random House / Knopf to put together a pair of promotional teaser trailers for Carl Hiaasen's new book Chomp. I've been a fan of his for years: Tourist Season, Sick Puppy, Native Tongue. The books are fantastic.
Chomp fits in with his series of young-adult books: Hoot, Scat & Flush.
Troy Cummings interpreted the cover art to create vibrant illustration and I made stuff move around on the screen.

BI Holiday Card
For Bennett Innovations, the Christmas card game has become something of an accidental tradition. Every year we somehow end up doing one. They range from the simple to the goofy to the complex.
You can also play the previous five or so years worth of Christmas games. Loads of fun.

Survive The Scorch Game
This promotional game for the Scorch Trials series of books presented a unique opportunity for a hybrid development approach: both Flash and HTML5/Javascript.
On desktop computers the game plays in Flash. On mobile devices it plays in HTML5. The differences in game-play are minor and both versions use the same set of level maps.
More than just a basic top-scrolling monster-basher, Survive The Scorch introduces an interesting twist: the heat. Players must seek the shade to keep from over-heating as they run through 10 levels of mazes.

My Dad Drives a Roller Coaster Car (iPad)
As the title implies, Hank's dad drives a roller coaster car. In fact, all of his relatives drive amazingly fun fairground attractions (everything from log flumes & teacups to rocket ships).
We have lots of animation in this one to have fun with the way the vehicles move.
The educational emphasis here is on onomatopoeia based on the silly sounds the different cars make. Kids can interact with the sound words themselves to trigger fun stuff.
