Ladies wot Launchball - Launchball wins big at SXSW

Well I nearly fell out my seat when I heard that Launchball had won best game at SXSW and was even more suprised when I scrolled down and found it had won 'Best In Show' (almost like Crufts but with more gadgets). I was smiling all the way home knowing that something I had been so directly involved with makes so many people pleased.

As I said before the main kudos has to go to the amazing hard work of Henry @ Preloaded for an outstanding job creating the game engine. My work involved plumbing the underbelly, creating the web services that communicate with the flash, the Sitecore CMS and the underlying databases so to give the science musuem the freedom to create the type of system they wanted for the users.

I had a quick poke in the database and current data is as follows:

91501 Registered Users
57927 Custom Levels have been created so far

.. eek! Poor server :)
