Experience
Powtoon
https://www.powtoon.com/Your go-to video creation platform. Powtoon is amongst the best content creation tools out there. It's powered by WebGL and Three.js, making the results aesthetically pleasing and performant. The content library is home to more than 10,000 graphic assets, and the platform is in the process of including AI-generated ones on the fly.
YouBIM
http://www.youbim.comA web-based 3D Viewer for visualizing truly gargantuan buildings in real time on the web and on mobile. You can render anything at 60 FPS, from hydroelectric dams to central city hospitals. This was achieved through an aggressive asset polygon count optimization, level of detail optimization, where you render smaller and simpler versions of the asset the further you are from it, and multiple occlusion mechanisms that would hide (and prevent rendering) of anything the user's not currently looking at.
Me Suena 2.0
Me Suena! for Android and iOS Tablets and Smartphones:
The first version and the most successful project I've participated in so far. The game was an original idea created by our Product Owner Juan Dragotto. It achieved more than 80,000 downloads on Google Play and AppStore worldwide, mostly in Argentina, as well as overwhelmingly positive reviews by both our users and the press. The project also evolved to its 2.0 version.
Me Suena 2.0 was the finest product achieved by the Glooday's game development team. The idea was brilliant, but the art was a bit flawed. Rodrigo Biancciotti and Martin Aguirre decided to create a new skin for the game, one that would be much more friendly and personal to the user.
The game was reviewed, fixed, and re-skinned practically from scratch in a short month with the team's extraordinary efforts and dedication. Sadly, our best product was released shortly before the dawn of Globant. The game was available for a couple of weeks before being pulled off the market. Nevertheless it achieved great results and reviews in its short lifespan.

Whack a Robot
Whack a Robot for Android and iOS Tablets and Smartphones:
This was Those Guys Labs first project. It took slightly less than three months to produce a high quality product. It was the proof of concept for what kind of products the team was able to produce in short periods of time. W.A.R. was developed using AS3, Adobe AIR, and the Starling Framework.
This project was presented at Exivico in late 2015, a few months after it was completed.
