Behind the Scenes with the Glyder 2 Team

Posted December 20, 2009 by Catherine • 0 Comments

In this series, Dan Sciarrino, Sr Producer at Glu, shares his Glyder knowledge, insights, and experiences.

After completing the first Glyder project, our team didn't know quite what to expect. We had a game that we believed in, but we didn't know if users and the press would like the game as much as we did, and appreciate it for what it was. Some even wondered whether such a unique game had a chance of reaching the top of the charts. Once the first few user & press reviews started rolling in, we were very excited: the feedback was universally positive, and in a short time the game became a huge hit. At that time of the original launch, I wasn't on the Glyder development team, but I closely followed the progress because the iPhone was such a new and intriguing device. When it came time to work on Glyder 2, Daren (our studio head) asked if I wanted to produce the project, and I jumped on the opportunity.
