from 2005 to 2010 , mean hamster grew to 21 workers and made several successful games for sites such as yahoo and playfirst .
mean hamster’s last big success was a 2010 casino slot game called vegas nights , a popular option on urltoken . after doing work for gsn , the relationship ended , in part because mean hamster provided the company with resources to continue developing its own games .
the early days : mean hamster software was founded in 1985 by john swiderski , after the video game crash of 1984 . at this time , computers were becoming more popular than video game consoles . we produced dozens of titles for the commodore 64 and amiga from 1985 - 1990 . when commodore went out of business , mean hamster software took a hiatus from the programming arena until 1999 . picking up where we left off , supporting the up and coming retro gaming circle . writing new software and support the old time systems was something of a new concept at the time and mean hamster software pioneered in this field with the release of several titles for the aged atari 5200 system . the world’s first new game ever for this system since 1985 . after several new atari and amiga titles , mean hamster software decided to move on to yet another pioneering medium , the hand - held computer . later mean hamster took the casual world by storm producing pet shop hop for playfirst .
john swiderski ' s technology company has been wiped out by the apps tsunami . his deer park firm , mean hamster software , just closed down , crushed by the inability to compete with mobile games .

but , sadly , owner john swiderski just closed his eight - person software shop , which has operated in deer park since 2005 .
from 2005 to 2010 , swiderski’s energetic software firm grew to 21 workers and built several successful games for sites like yahoo games and playfirst .

but websites where people play games are out of fashion . the game industry has shifted toward mobile games played on phones and tablets .
once mobile apps became the dominant system for game developers , companies that were depending on web - based games got caught .
“we couldn’t compete with thousands of people who were able to become low - cost developers , ” swiderski said . the itunes and android marketplaces made it vastly simpler for anyone to upload a game and reach thousands of potential customers .
“so there was a lot more competition with the very large app companies , and with indie developers , and that all left me unable to acquire any more third - party contract work , ” swiderski said .
swiderski tried hard to find jobs for his crew , calling companies from spokane to seattle .
“i paid my workers before i closed shop . that was the right thing to do , but it left me personally broke , ” swiderski said .
at this point he’s joined his former workers on the job - search front . “if i can’t find employment here , i’ll have to move to seattle . i don’t only do games . i’m a producer , a project manager and a designer . but there aren’t many jobs in spokane . ”
one of the biggest successes swiderski’s company had was the popular game pet shop hop , which had more than 450 , 000 downloads after rising to popularity in 2008 . swiderski developed the game for playfirst , then continued working as a contract developer for that company and others .
with apps on the rise , swiderski tried to steer the company into small , well - made mobile games .
one game , “goo society , ” used tiny blobs that must work together to colonize planets , but it never got far along .
with more than 800 new apps a week there are no rules to determine which games sell and which don’t , he said .

this game is such as good game for me . it is so hard to find a cat game . i love cats . those cats are so cute . i can see many different kind of cats .
maybe i ' m just a crazy cat lady but i quite enjoyed this game . the idea is cute and fun . it lacks a little in the challenge but overall it ' s a good tm game with a cute concept .
this wasn ' t the best game i ' ve played to date , but i will say that it was entertaining . with the different levels and challenging appeals , i felt it just wasn ' t challenging enough for me . i enjoyed the graphics and the music , but it needs a few changes here and there . keep it up !
i couldn ' t stand to keep playing this for more than a couple rounds . maybe this somehow gets better later on , maybe the music changes and the super - annoying 70s style comments change , and maybe the gameplay gets more challenging and maybe the whole premise changes , and and and . . . maybe it becomes a whole different game . i didn ' t want to stick around to find out .

valve co - founder gabe newell gets it ; he knows that fans of the company ' s games want to see another half - life or left 4 dead or team fortress game . just don ' t expect the developer to necessarily make games like it used to 10 or 15 years ago . valve , newell said , has evolved in the way it makes and ships games , and players should expect future games to reflect that evolution .
in a podcast posted by geoff keighley ( currently a one - off episode called gameslice ) , newell and valve business development lead erik johnson talk about the company ' s ventures into virtual reality , source 2 , steam machines and more . the whole episode is worth a listen if you want to learn more about valve ' s strategy , but it was newell ' s comments on how valve is currently thinking about making games that stood out .
at about 38 minutes into the podcast , keighley asked newell about previous comments he made regarding
single - player plus
games — features for single - player games that
recognize the socially connected gamer
— and making free - to - play games versus more traditional $ 60 boxed products , like half - life 2 . keighley asked if valve would ever go back to making games like it used to and revisit its older franchises .
referring to team fortress , left 4 dead and half - life , newell said ,
you know , we love all those games , we love all those characters and universes and story lines and we have no shortage of opportunities .
but newell said the company wants to be strategic in how it develops technologies in tandem with its game properties . valve recently revisited portal ' s aperture science to show off its new virtual reality tech : steamvr , vive and lighthouse .
if you think of it as each one of our franchises represents a tool . . . you just want to pick up the right tool at the right time ,
he said .
so like dota 2 is an incredibly character - rich [ game ] . there are how many ? 110 characters ? so if you have a problem that involves wanting to work on the aspect of having lots and lots of strongly realized characteristics , then dota 2 is the right place to do it .
team fortress [ also ] represents a tool . when we were thinking of what are the next challenges , we tend to pick the franchises that are sort of most useful going forward . and if we don ' t have one , then we have to create a new one .
newell said he realizes that valve ' s desire to use its properties as
tools
may not necessarily align with every fan ' s burning desires for , say , a game like half - life 3 .
i get it ,
he said .
i ' m a fan of tv shows , i ' m a fan of writers , i ' m a fan of movies , i ' m a fan of games . i certainly understand why people are like ' hey , i remember this awesome experience and i ' m starting to get worried that i ' m never going to get to have it again . ' i ' m a fan of terry pratchett and he has alzheimer ' s and it ' s like ' oh my god , i may never get another great discworld novel . ' [ note : the interview with keighley was recorded prior to pratchett ' s death . ]
so we understand it and we feel that . we think at the end of the day customers are going to be really happy with where we spent our time and how we ' ve turned that into entertainment for them . but we ' re also going to build on what we ' ve learned . . . and we ' ve learned a lot . we ' re not going to go all retro because there are too many interesting things that have been learned .
while navigating the minefield that is half - life 3 , while never actually mentioning it by name , newell offered what might sound either like hope for more half - life or a gentle warning that it might never actually happen , depending on how you read it .
the only reason we ' d go back and do like a super classic kind of product is if a whole bunch of people just internally at valve said they wanted to do it and had a reasonable explanation for why [ they did ] ,
he said .

along the third base warning track before game six of the college world series on june 20 , 2016 . world - herald sports reporter steve pivovar , who would have attended his 500th straight cws game that day had he not been battling cancer and pneumonia , died wednesday .
readers knew pivovar , 63 , because of his prolific writing , but in the ’70s , ’80s and ’90s he occasionally worked late nights on the sports desk , supervising production of the paper . the world - herald had six nightly editions , and deadlines came by the hour . piv’s wisecracks cut the tension .
said gene stephenson , former wichita state baseball coach : “i never heard anybody say anything about steve except , boy , what a class guy he was and what a knowledgeable sports writer that he was . it’s a sad , sad day for college baseball in general and the college world series in particular . ”
not a positive experience for our son who is very active in sports and a great kid . their programs much like others must be very dependent on the coach but clearly this group did not like or understand how to work with young kids in a positive and motivational manner . caution if signing up your kiddo .

pivovar , the old - school , dry - witted , 45 - year veteran of the world - herald , died tuesday night because of complications from kidney cancer . his love and dedication to the omaha sports scene was evident in thousands of stories he wrote , most notably about creighton athletics and the college world series .
kent started soccertots by teaching classes himself and developed the original curriculum . since that time , the curriculum has been revised many times with input from many people who have taught thousands of hours of class which is why it is widely regarded as the gold standard for sports programming for kids 1 . 5 to 5 years old .

my 10 year old daughter had her first experience with soccer this week . skyhawks was wonderful for her . coach crazy and coach skittles were so positive and knowledgeable . i feel they really began to fill the gap she had in skill , considering she had such a late start to the sport ! thanks skyhawks . we will be back . my son is doing baseball in august ! he has two years of t - ball , one year of coach pitch and one year of kid pitch . regardless of how
easy ,
( as others have said ) the camp may be , he will learn something ! even the most advanced player can learn something from going back to the basics and working on foundational skills . can ' t wait !
i love that i got to help teach kids sports and really help them understand how much being involved in a sport can positively impact their lives . the area manager was a bit tough to work with as there was very short notice between what camps you work and if you declined a camp it made it less likely that you would be assigned to coach another .

jeff and dave recognized our spokane model could probably work in the seattle and portland markets . the next big expansion was into california in the early ‘90’s . i was finishing college at santa clara university and recognized our business model that was working in the northwest would probably work in california . dave and i hit the road selling skyhawks services in northern california and we fine - tuned our process for expanding into more distant markets .
karl’s love of sports will shine through when working with kids , parents , and coaches . he’s a natural coach and mentor , having managed teams and individuals for much of his career . his background is also in the retail and software industries . he has worked with teams around the country and the globe to analyze their business to help them become more productive , efficient , and effective .
this job was by far the most fun i ' ve ever had when it came to working . interacting with the kids and carrying out lesson plans on sports that you have experience with is so rewarding . during the time i worked there , it was rewarding to know that i could be making such a huge impact on these kids lives and it was fun developing a relationship with them .
orcutt also maintains realistic views for his new academy as well . he doesn’t want hawks to get too big for its own good . “we don’t want to become too huge , don’t want to have a huge turnover rate . we want to know our kids” said orcutt , who once spent “about a month” on a bobcat building a lacrosse field in his own backyard . “we want to have kids that start in fourth grade , and see them progress over the course of four , five , six years . ” he hopes to still keep it “relatively south shore - based . we don’t have any plans of going all over the place . ”
the start of the high school sports events is less than a month away . badminton leads off with games starting aug . 23 . football begins just two days later at area high schools . keep up with local athletes – tape the following schedules to your state - of - the - art stainless steel , or your vintage 1980s avocado refrigerator . go to the games and lend support to local athletes . cheaper than a movie .
in 2014 , tori and karl moved from minnesota to colorado , hoping to spend as much time outdoors as possible . skyhawks camps were the perfect fit for getting outside and being active with their two girls , avery and macie . both girls have participated in soccer , mini - hawk , and cheerleading camps , along with a year in supertots camps . when presented with the opportunity to purchase the colorado franchise , tori and karl knew it was a great fit for them and their family .
basically at this job you are babysitting kids and attempting to teach them some sports skills . depending on the camp you have this job can be really fun or not . if the kids behave well and are sweet it can be a great time playing soccer or basketball or whatever with them . but if you get a group of kids that are rude and wild , or if your other coach ( es ) slack off it can be kind of rough .
during a typical day , i would show up at 8 : 30 and prepare the courts or the fields depending on the sport i would be coaching that day . through this job i learned how to improve my conversational skills with both the children i worked with and the parents who were curious about what we did . i liked the management that i met and worked with , they gave me many opportunities and they were helpful . the workplace culture was mainly positive . all of the other coaches were helpful and we worked together to create an environment that was both fun and helped to build fundamental skills in the sports we played . the hardest part of the job was being tired from being active and having to look after almost 100 kids during the weeks for 6 hours a day . at the same time , the most enjoyable part was working with children . i am an extremely extroverted person and playing different sports and games with the kids was fun for me to do .
orcutt’s founding of the eastern mass hawks was about 15 years in the making . the burgeoning program will serve as a learning tool for young lacrosse players across the south shore , with clinics and teams of various levels as its basis . “the biggest thing that was holding me back was finding a facility , ” said orcutt , a hanover resident who also currently coaches the boston college eagles men’s club lacrosse team . “there’s so many programs , so many sports with different things , and finding continuity with the weather , the way new england is . ”
summer programs were canceled the thursday before they were supposed to start leaving me with childcare issues for the hours my kids were scheduled to be in basketball and volleyball camp . canceling a program on a thursday afternoon before it starts leaves working parents with a lot of extra foot work . cancellation email stated that they tried to fill up the program , but were unable to . at least a wells notice would have been reasonable . i spent hours on the phone trying to find other day camps that weren ' t full . not an easy thing to go considering it was already middle of the summer break for kids . not a good experience . would not sign up again with skyhawks .
