CastleVille

CastleVille was a social network game released in November 2011. By the end of its first month, it had become the fifth most popular game on Facebook with 26.5 million players.

After Mafia Wars 2 was shut down shortly after it launched, I moved over to the CastleVille team. This was a game developed by our Dallas studio, a group of ex-Ensemble game developers. I was extremely lucky to work with this group, as they pushed the bar for quality within Zynga. For this game, since it was already live and established, I focused primarily on new features, illustrations, animations, and implementation.
