May 2007
May 25: John G. Brokopp, gaming columnist in the Chicago Sun-Times, wrote a superb column about Dashabooja, making some astute observations.
Credit Sean Gleeson, an enterprising game designer based in Oklahoma City, for inventing a product that combines the attraction of online gaming with the allure of an element of chance. Gambling for fun has never been more entertaining. His creation, the mystifying and enchanting Dashabooja, is a breakthrough game that bridges the gap between online gaming and video slot-machine gambling. Don’t be surprised if one day you’ll be playing it at casinos and on your computer.
Thanks, John!
May 23: Jay Bibby, of jayisgames.com, the respected and trusted reviewer of online games, praised Dashabooja:
The presentation of Dashabooja is exceptional and really shows off Sean's talent in graphic design and interactive multimedia. The game, although a little light in the gameplay department, offers a decent diversion for anyone looking for a little solo luck-of-the-draw fun.
Thanks, Jay! (He reviewed Wichita Faro in the same entry.)
May 14: Dashabooja is officially launched, at gleeson.us/dashabooja, sponsored by the MochiAds network of in-game advertisements.
April 2007
Apr. 11: The first working build of Dashabooja is tested, to general acclaim. One tester enthusiastically commented:
Poker without the stressful strategy, just that pull-the-lever mechanical addiction insinuating itself deep into my reptilian hindbrain, plus a chance for double or nothing on a high-card-wins contest in each round. It’s like gambling was cocaine, and Sean just invented crack!
