Outline
This is the big one. We actively developed this facebook game for our client, CashCompare, for well over a year. It’s a fun and casual take on a financial trading game. Users customise their own money box avatars and then compete in a range of mini-games and a virtual trading marketplace. Our role in this project has included game design and layout, front-end development in PHP, and Facebook integration. We also art directed and project managed the Illustration, Flash development, animation and copyrighting for the project.
