Making an Impact
Maximum Zen
At PopCap, the key to creating a great game is simple: hard work. And time. And creativity. And, of course, having all three of those in one place!
At PopCap, we don't rush to produce the first decent idea; we're willing to work hard and let a good idea blossom into a great one. As Sukhbir explains, "Developers here have a lot of freedom to take the time to try out different ideas". We don't want to push a game through production if we're not happy with it. Those games just aren't as fun. You can't hide a bad game mechanic behind fancy graphics."
Because we were willing to wait and find the right game, what was intended to be a Pachinko game ended up blending some of the best aspects of Pachinko, pinball and other game styles into something wildly different. It's a combination that led MSNBC.com to name Peggle one of the "Top Five Most Addictive Games Ever!"
But don't take our word for it (or even theirs). For that matter, why are you still reading? Go play Peggle!
