"Howzat" and "Homerun Heroes"

These were the two sports games I worked on at Gameventures Pte. Ltd as a game designer. They are both facebook games, which means they have the usual gamut of 'Farmville' features such as a regenerating action-point system and many, many share options, but they are also surprisingly in-depth as sports games, with gameplay that requires far more skill and reflexes than the average Facebook game. Check them out below:

Homerun Heroes:

The game was shut down in 2013, but here are some screens of what it was like when I worked on it:










While there, I learnt a lot about not just game design itself (from user interface layouts to in-game progression systems), but about social games as well, and the different ways in which they retain players and generate revenue in order to stay alive. Interesting stuff!
