The Playfish Banker of Pet Society: Live from London
During my visit to the Playfish headquarters, I had a chance to talk with Catharina Mallet, the Product Manager of Pet Society. A Swedish-American with a background in finance, Mallet is relatively new to London (she's lived there about a year) and even newer to the gaming world (she joined Playfish about two months ago).
What does the Product Manager do, exactly? Mallet replied that she's "looking after the coordination process between the development and the art, and making sure that everything goes smoothly. But a big part of the job is like being 'the central banker' for the game. It's doing pricing, making sure that the exchange rates are right, and making sure that 'the taps and the sinks,' or the ways to earn money and the ways to spend money are in reasonable balance."
She admitted that sometimes, her team's predictions are off the mark, as in the case of the Limited Edition Peter Pan statue, which was pulled out of the shops due to lagging sales.
During our interview, Mallet also talked quite a bit about how the company relies on crowdsourcing and feedback from players to develop new features in the game. In the video below, she tells us about the Volcano Mask that was released after the Icelandic eruption.

FarmVille VP of Product Development Mark Skaggs on Time-Based Gameplay
Mark Skaggs, the Vice President of Product Development for Zynga speaks about the time-based gameplay of FarmVille.
He says that "In the world of farming you know that crops will take time to grow" so they made various timed crops while keeping lifestyle and farming preferences in mind. In other words, some farmers like to farm as soon as they wake up and plant their crops, knowing that they will harvest after work, others prefer one day or more crops because that is all the time that they can devote to farming. Having different time frames for each crops, allows farmers to choose which crops work best for them.
When deciding on "the wither mechanic" FarmVille developers found that when plants actually wither and turn brown it is disappointing but not as bad as animals "dying" like in FishVille, which is why FarmVille animals do not die, they just "run away" like FarmVille Dogs.
Which timed crops do you like to plant the most? Which crops work best for your farming lifestyle?

FarmVille adds Friend Activity, My Activity feeds to the game
FarmVille has added an activity feed (located underneath the game window) that lists out what's happening with your friends who are playing a game and what's going on with your game. Each activity listed also encourages you to send gifts as congratulations for the activity.
farmville friend activity
There's also a tab that includes your activities and on FarmVille.com there's also the Game Feed -- the most useful tab of all -- which consolidates all of your neighbors Wall Posts about the game and lets you help or collect bonus items with ease. The Game Feed is NOT available on the Facebook verson of FarmVille, which is a bummer, but maybe that will change in the future.
