Thanks for the great review and comments guys. It is true we may never have the volume of games sites like Kong and AG have, but we believe ‘quality is king’ and in developing all our own titles and distributing them far and wide we may just be able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the bigger, traditional, flash portals. And unlike them our main aim is game plays, no matter where they take place, not hits to our site.

The aim of the site is to support the more enthusiastic player of one or two of our titles who wants extra content and community features to enhance their experience of the game (vs someone who just wants to play them all and move onto the next site/games)

I don’t think they want to compete with Kongregate “title wise” but from what I’ve seen so far. They are getting smarter and better at marketing and distributing their title games… Sometimes giving agony to us back at the collective

On a side note.
They aren’t just great TD developers. You should check out their other games on the CC other than the head liners.

[...] I just tried out some of the games on the launch of the Casual Collective website. Fun flash games and decent graphics, perfect for lunch breaks. Cool social play aspect as well. Hat tip to TechCrunch. [...]

Yes; but, they get their money from in-game uprades not advertising like Kongregate. So they could still place their game on Kongregate and make money.

http://www.nonoba.com offers any flash developer free access to their entire multiplayer infrastructure. This operates simultaneously, not just asynchronously. Someone has developed multiplayer asteroids for example. It also takes care of the lobby, high scores, achievements etc – even in game payments if you want. The developer only has to worry about the game play, the graphics and the flash programming.

Desktop tower defense is better than most whatever gen console games now!

Ahhh yes, I remember getting into the beta of the Casual Collective a few years back now …. glad to hear they’re doing very well.

Now thanks to Crunchgear, winter will consist of me staying inside and playing this game again… good job guys!

I think David and Paul are doing it right. They found a product (line) that they can be successful in and built a company around that. They’re intensely focused on what the products should be and they’re starting off small rather than some huge all-encompassing vague plan.

I agree with Jim. You don’t have to have thousands of little simple games. A small number of successful original games that can’t be found anywhere else might just bring you the same amount of traffic.

Great work sells… Important thing in gaming is it should be likable, Viral and good enough to be addictive. It seems that have it covered. I say they will be sure success.

Mark – Kongregate is a great site but i’m not sure that simply aggregating 3rd party games is any longer a sustainable business model for a new games portal. Even sites like Mousebreaker and Miniclip realised that they needed to create/license unique content in order to stand apart from the thousands of flash game aggregation sites out there. I definitely think that there is a place for developers creating a game portal filled with their own unique content.
