It is interesting to learn about development of facebook app "Farmville" and other Zynga games. I personally liked farmville because it always came up with new stuff to interest and retain players. Just when I would think that clicking each tree to harvest was kind of a cumbersome task, farmville team would launch a new cool feature like adopt a lonely reindeer, or christmas tree, or pet cats and gain ribbons to keep me hooked on to the game. It is refreshing to hear the same thought from the Chief-game-designer of farmville: Brian Reynolds. Please watch the video below to learn more about farmville-behind the scenes information.
Next week, on January 15, I’ll be speaking at the University of Waterloo,
my alma mater. There’ll be a tech talk on key developments in C++ and why I
think...
