Hacking with Emory

This week, we had the distinct pleasure of working with game developer Emory Myers. Emory is currently getting his MS in Computer Science at Digipen University, but now he’s also doing full-time game development here at MokaSocial.

Emory’s loves to make games. And he’s really handy to have around. It took him about two hours in Eclipse to start writing Java. He also plays a mean Artificer. He’s fairly OP at Planning Poker.

Emory drinks drip coffee, and prefers not to use invert mouse for FPS games. His current google-able titles include Drake Savage and Space Johnson, which may or not be ported to mobile versions. His favorite iPhone game is Jet Car Stunts and his favorite PC game is Ultima VII. Top tier!

Anyway, there you have him: Emory. He’s a blast to work with.

Tycho of Penny Arcade has a clutch post here. To sum it up:

Free to Play doesn’t represent some rapidly plumping metastasized future. It represents the flowing and present ultranow.

MokaSocial is uber excited to be a part of the mobile deployment of AOK for both Apple and Android devices!

AOK is a fun and challenging way to get rewarded for contributing to, sharing, and becoming aware of the millions of Acts of Kindness already happening somewhere on this planet every day. We’re a “social game for social good”…

Apart from the entire AOK team, we’d like to give a special mention to Mike Pence (Ruby Developer) for providing a solid backend (API), Jaison Green (Green Wire) for developing the iPhone experience, Roxanne Daner (Ludlow Kingsley) for designing the AOK frontend from which the mobile design is based, and Nathan and Matthew from Natron Baxter for the game design!
