About Me
Name: Ira
Occupation: Entrepreneur
Age: 26
Location: Victoria, BC, Canada
Facebook: Right here
I’ve been making websites and designing games for over 8 years now. My most successful site has been AddictingGames.com which is now owned by MTV. After the sale I launched OneMoreLevel.com and it has grown to over 3 million visitors a month. I’m particularly interested in Web 2.0 startups, game design and the growth of the casual gaming industry, which is the intended focus of this blog, however it may degenerate into lolcat photos and off-topic ramblings.
My design philosophy behind OneMoreLevel is:
- Quality over quantity. Only the best games make it on.
- Non-intrusive and minimal advertising. I don’t allow pop-up or audio ads.
- A quick, clean layout and no login required to play games.
- Free sharing of games. I’m happy to link to my competitor’s site if they have a good title I do not. I’m not a fan of walled-in sites.
- Reward developers. Without them we wouldn’t have any games and I wouldn’t have a job!
My other interests include playing guitar, photography, hiking, disc golf and travel.
If you have any questions or suggestions send me an e-mail, or leave a comment below.

Hey dude!
I just wanted to tell you that your site ABSOLUTELY rocks. I’ve been an always-on visitor for like the past year and a half. One question though, why did you get rid of the forums? That was pretty much the only source of good Free Rider tracks! Can you please bring it back sometime in the near future? Oh yeah, and APPLE ROCKS! :D

Hey, what’s up? I think flash is awesome, i’d love to get started in it, do you know any good programs to help get someone started and more advanced programs for when you start to develop and better and better with programs?
Also, do you use a custom program for your game designs, or do you use a flash creator of some sort?
Thanks for the help!
August 13th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
Hi Ira,
I am fan of you. I want to chat with you, on AIM or Yahoo or Gtalk. Mail me where you will be available?
I just wanna talk about flash game development.
