Oh, it’s been a bit of a death march, having taken over the Brand Universe project from a different team 6 weeks ago, throwing out all of their code, starting over with a brand new team, and creating this site from scratch, while trying to keep in mind this has to be modular enough to launch 99 more in 2007, and eventually with no engineering assistance for a new instance. Oh, and of course the new requirements from the SVP 10 days before launch! But, we launched it last night, the team kicked ass, and it looks pretty nice. There’s a few bugs, and we’re doing another push shortly, but it’s great stuff. Check out the Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End site on Yahoo!
