Fantastic Contraption is the game that started my serious career in gaming. My long-time friend Colin Northway wrote the game over the course of a few months in 2008.

My role in production was helping out a tiny bit with the Game Design by being a sounding board for ideas, and doing some level design. After launch, I took on the role of Community Manager, which I am still doing today.

FC was (and still is) a runaway success, astounding everyone involved. It is quite possibly the first Flash game to charge for additional content, and predated even the surge of Microtransaction popularity. Few Flash titles, save for some particularly viral social/Facebook applications, rival FC’s success.

Colin Northway and I did a post-mortem on Fantastic Contraption at the Game Developers Conference 2009, in Austin Texas, and in 2010 at San Francisco.
