Its been out for a few months now, but we just wanted to announce the official release of Electronic Arts’ latest game in the Spore series, Spore Islands for Facebook.

We had the privilege of assisting Area/Code in its development. We were the lead php and AI developer for this game, it was a lot of fun and a technically challenging project. We have a lot of experience building websites that support high traffic, but supporting a game as advanced as this with as much back-end logic as this required, was always going to be a challenge. But, we rose to the challenge and we’re extremely proud to have been a part of this great game series!
