  1. Bubble Town Gamezebo Interview

    Gamezebo, a popular casual games blog, recently posted an article on Bubble Town based on interviews with myself and Cara Ely. Cara and I worked on the original Bubble Town together, with Cara acting as the producer. It sounds like sales of Bubble Town are still going strong!

    This article lead me to the Play at Work blog, the “unofficial community blog for employees of Oberon Media”. Here’s what they had to say about the Bubble Town Gamezebo post:

    “It’s a terrific look at how I-play resurrected a dying game through re-branding and better understanding of its target market.”

    Hmmm. I’d say this is some pretty aggressive spin on what actually happened, but close enough. :)

    Funnily, the Play at Work post mentions Peggle as another “niche” game that could be successfully re-marketed for the casual market. The questionable nature of this statement aside, one of the key developers on the original Bubble Town (Jeremy Bilas) is also behind Peggle Nights. If you play both games, you can really see Jeremy’s fingerprints all over them.
