Woogi World Update

Posted by BoMToons - November 30th, 2007


The main focus of all my flash skillz these days is dedicated to Woogi World. It's come a long way since the contest here on NG with many new features and even a few real multi-player games being integrated.

We've also run into lots of challenges including having to switch to a completely different server software to handle the multi-player stuff because our version of Electro-Server had some show-stopping un-documented bugs (we extended it a bit beyond what it was designed for :P).

The real fun for me, though, has been learning how to manage other artists. It's so easy when it's just you because, of course, everything looks right. But working with people that have varied backgrounds and trying to maintain a "branded" look for the site has been a challenge. It's also been fun trying to manage productivity when we have several people who "clock in" from across the nation.

Overall I'm very proud of what we've been able to accomplish in less than a year, and the response to the site has been great with over 12,000 members and hundreds of new kids signing up every week.

Most of all, I really enjoy working on a project whose values fall in line with mine and is positioned to make a real difference in a lot of lives.

I just put together a video today oriented toward parents so they know what WW is all about before signing their kid(s) up. Check it out here:

Thanks again to Tom and NGs for supporting our arcade launch competition which generated a great boost in traffic and lots of buzz for the site.

Woogi World Update


Comments

congrads! did all the games designed make it in?

No, some weren't high enough quality, and some had some technical issues (including a few I really liked)

Nice! finally a update for this great game! keep up the good work!

which ones? did mine make it (wigg defender)?

Yours didn't make it. Sorry!
Create an account and go into the arcade to see which ones did make it in.

you might as well say you enjoyed everything, lol

I enjoyed everything

yes look like that going to be a good game.

needs more cock jokes

...

I like people who reply to everyone's comments!

Not everyone, just people I "e-know" or who ask questions or whose comment tickles my fancy in some way.

what the hecks a Woogi.

It was WiggiWorlds, why the change?

Unfortunately there were some legal issues with using "Wiggi." I personally wish we could have kept the original, but such is life.

Wow, that's really impressive flash work. graphics are really nice.

Thanks!

Found a glitch. (I was browsing the arcade trying to find my game (found it btw), then looked at some other ones that were offered). When i saw Mixed up Diner, I played, i got a score of 1721, but only got silver medal award when gold medal is supposed to be 1300.

Otherwise, awesome job keep going BomToons =)

ok, I'll look into that.

"It's all for the kids." type thing eh? lol Kids are awesome. I'm looking forward to raisin' my own brats then havin' a wife for some odd reason. :P
Congrats man. Seriously, I'm happy for ya. ^^

I feel bad for your kids already..."but daddy why does my hair have to be short in front and long in back!???"

Why does this make me think of Wii? Wiigis? Woogies?
...Forget I just said that.

I enjoyed that contest. It's nice to see something different then cock jokes on Newgrounds. That's some quality work you got there! It's awesome!

I agree with Luis.
....that doesnt happen often.

.......i.....like.........this.......
