Zynga : CityVille

Build the city of your dreams! With Mayor Sam, the player has the ability to build up a bustling city full of shops, theaters and crazy decorations.

Contributions: In my short time on Cityville, I worked on two features. First was the second iteration of a set of features called "Incentivized Expansion" features that put quest objectives in areas that the user had not expanded to yet. In doing so, I also made it easier to make addtional instances of this feature. Second was the 2012/2013 holiday event where the user would randomly get prizes while playing the game. The more prizes, the bigger the holiday tree. On Christmas, players would receive the motherload of prizes from all the gifts they had found.
