Very Games Collection

SquareTwo

Programmer, QA

TypeScript, Ruby

The Very Games Collection was made while I was at SquareTwo and consists of 8 mobile titles that were available on Android and iOS:

VeryDice
VeryDice+
VeryBingo
VeryBreaker
VeryGolf
VeryBowling
VerySolitaire
VeryPop

The company was acquired and now only VeryDice is available.

All of these titles were HTML5 games and made use of a frontend SDK that we developed to easily add new HTML5 games to the SquareTwo rewards ecosystem. The reward ecosystem worked by rewarding players with some amount of tickets that varied based on how they did in game. Those tickets could then be exchanged for items or gift cards using various vendor APIs.

My main contributions for these were programming the backend and frontend logic for leaderboards, jackpots, bonus events, challenge progress notifications, and the ability for users to change their username and select an avatar. In order for all those to work, I had to go into each game's codebase and add SDK function calls when certain conditions were met.

I also programmed the cross promotional widget (XPW) that appeared at the bottom of each game's home screen. The XPW was used to show players other SquareTwo titles and how much in game currency they had if they already had a SquareTwo account, otherwise clicking on them would take them to either Google Play or the App Store.
