Creating and growing games IPs
summary
Built the Ultima series and launched Ultima Online — the fastest‑selling PC title in Origin/EA history — then prototypes a ruleset of eight virtues and a Blissymbolics‑based language so non‑English players can read in‑world glyphs. Current project embeds the original 1974 teletype game inside Shroud of the Avatar, crowdfunds on Kickstarter, now raises on SeedInvest, charges a $40 entry fee, crowdsources music, and ships monthly episodes every last Thursday at 10:30am CT for 43 months with zero software downtime (two hardware failures).
