Discovery Channel

user · December 26, 2009

While at 360KID, we created a interactive CD-ROM for the Discovery Channel. The aim was to create a series of modules for kids to explore various scientific topics. I didn’t have a huge part in this project – it was mostly maintenance as I came in at the end, but I did develop one of …

user · December 26, 2009

We at 360KID did a few games for PBS Kids with Sagwa. We did two similar style games. Counting Koi was a simple counting games where kids would count fish in a pond, and Exploring the Palace was mostly a click and explore type of game. The logic and gameplay in these games aren’t incredibly …

Cats Incredible Journey

user · December 26, 2009

Cats Incredible Journey was a game created while I was at 360KID. It focused on helping kids with emotions if I recall correctly. In it’s prototype phase, it was a Flash game with limited interaction and awesomely designed animated sequences. The reason behind the interaction and gameplay being so limited and lightweight was so we …

Or should I say….BIZKIDZ.COM! The last site I worked on at 360KID finally went live (and out of beta even)! Its been a long time coming, I think we started a year and a couple months ago? I’ve since moved on and taken a new position at a video search company called Digitalsmiths here in …

Budget Hero

user · May 20, 2008

We just launched a new application at 360KID! I wish I could say I did all of it, or even most of it, but I did step in to help a lot during the final stages – just so I can say I took all the credit from the project’s real programmer Clint Little. I …

Sesame Street: Interactive Cable Television

user · December 26, 2005

This was quite the interesting project. I was only a little involved the first year, and the second year this project resurfaced I created a new game. And finally the 3rd year this project resurfaced, I managed the refresh and the new game that we added. The reason that it was refreshed every year was …

KidPaint

user · December 26, 2004

This MAY have been my first Actionscript 3 project if I recall correctly. I remember upgrading from AS2 to AS3. One of our devs at 360KID started this internal project, and I did the language upgrade…adding new features along the way. Basically, the idea was to make this a product we could sell and reskin …
