My move to Zynga

Author Kevin

Well, it’s now official. I have returned to the game industry as an employee of Zynga, and so far… it’s awesome!

I actually submitted my resume to an iPhone game development company called Newtoy, but I didn’t hear anything for a couple of months and considered the issue closed. This silence was due to Zynga’s acquisition of Newtoy, which at the time, I was unaware of. Either way, I was eventually contacted by one of the leads at Newtoy, which had now been renamed to Zynga With Friends, and was asked whether or not I was still interested in making iPhone games. Of course, I said “Hell Yes!” and after a rather grueling and sometimes odd interview process, I was hired!

What this means for my website/blog, I’m not sure yet. If I can find any free time after my family and my new job, I might be able to post some new samples about mobile development. Or, at the least, use it to post funny pictures of cats and personal rants against that Justin Bieber kid.
