Tower Defense

So, hey kids...do you like the tower defenses?

This animation studio does, so we made a lot of them for various clients.

Want to play some? Click on the links below.

Our first tower defense was for Challenge Games, and called Duels Defense. This one is pretty well balanced and you can even watch some walk through videos on youtube:

This one is embedded below, but you can play it bigger here:



Do you like the politics? Do you hate the politics? Either way you might like our 27o Tower Defense that we made during election season. You can play as either Republican or Democrat, and it has Sarah Palin on a moose! Play it here.


Powerhouse also did a lot of Tower Defense games, (amongst others) for Sony's online hit Freerealms ... unfortunately, we can't just post the games but you can watch some of it below.

Enviromedia

One of the animation studio's favorite clients is Austin based, Enviromedia. They are a social marketing company and do a ton of great work. We have been lucky enough to work with them on several fun animated and interactive projects. Here are a few of them:







You can play Smoker-Soaker here:

Apple vs. Flash

I have gotten a few e-mails this morning asking what we think about Steve Jobs's Flash manifesto from yesterday. While I don't want to publicly speak out against Apple, lest they kick our doors in, here are some other folks speaking up on the topic.

The Business Insider had some interesting things to say about the Apple vs. Flash battle.

Testing some of what Jobs has said.

Babelgum

Powerhouse Animation is the animation studio that animates most of the syndicated comics for Ringtales that are hosted online. We have animated over 400 strips and they appear on youtube, i-tunes and Babelgum. I wanted to see how Babelgum's embed functionality works so here are few to check out:





Bruce Tinnin: The Art of Business

Bruce Tinnin, the animation studios' COO and one of the co-founders of the animation studio was a featured artist at "The Art of Business" event.

The event was held at Laguna Gloria. The idea for the Austin Museum of Art and HBMG event is an art show of work done by c-level and senior executives at companies in the Austin area. The pieces are part of a silent auction and the proceeds are all given to charity.

Here are some pics from the event.

They had peacocks on the grounds at the museum.
