I don't have much. I wasn't involved with the company for very long. He just reached out to me, said he wanted to make games based on Lord of the Rings, he gave me some parameters, and I teamed up with Rob, an artist I'd worked with on my Clock Legends game previously, to make the game. I think we got like a whole $250 for it (total, not each), it wasn't much, but it was the first time I got paid for a game I made.

Then he wanted to do a second game, a game like the classic arcade game Tapper set in the Prancing Pony Inn, and we got it about halfway finished (playable, but missing some art and music/sound), but then Rob lost interest in doing the art so it remained unfinished. I probably have the unfinished game somewhere on an external hard drive somewhere.

I remember that at the time I got pretty good at playing the actual Tapper arcade game because I played it a bunch to get a good feel for how it played and to use for reference.

At that point we drifted out of touch and I don't know anything more about the company that's not publicly available.

I think I remember that later he asked me to help him get the leaderboards working for the Save The Ring game on the ArmorGames site, and he gave me some code as a reference that I could embed into the Flash game. But that's pretty much everything.

Probably other people worked with him a lot closer and for a lot longer.
