summary
RC Laser Warrior lands on Shockwave and becomes a boxed retail SKU rebranded as Cars of Fury boxed SKU with USB joystick, while contract work includes advergames for Disney, Honeycomb and a Cisco training title. The indie plan centers on Blurst: unified login, achievements, 2‑month prototypes with analytics already logging 13 million scoring events and 4.9 million raptors killed. iPhone launches require provisioning and a separate paid contract approval, expect $0.99–$2 pricing and volatile sales where top 10 ≈2,000/day, #1 ≈10,000/day.
