INTERACTIVE MAGIC, INC

PROJECT DATES: May 1997 - May 1998

Interactive Magic was an industry leader in creating and publishing simulation and strategy games for the personal computer. The company wanted to create an online community where network gamers could meet other players, form teams, get information about upcoming iMagic sponsored events and competitions, and join the network gaming arenas.

As lead designer and developer for the online gaming "experience," I was responsible for user interface design and visual direction, site architecture, and marketing of promotional events (facilitating service expansion).

Our success was attributed to giving the iMagic gaming community a sense of participation via chat rooms, message boards, and links to relevant sites created by community members. In a sense, the user-base drove the business requirements for this project, allowing the web site to grow and change as the gaming environment evolved and matured.
