The Arcade · original games and real 3D worlds
Play the game. Then walk through three doors.
Every level is a real thing a growing business needs. Every door is a world I built.
Below: an original 3D crossing game where you play me — dodging Denver traffic, riding rafts down the South Platte, outrunning a shared-lead salesman — collecting the five things that get a business found. Then three doorways into 3D worlds that run in an ordinary browser. Nothing to download.
Zach Gets to the Customers is an original browser game by Zachary Tye Wennstedt, a Denver web and game developer: five levels (Denver Streets, the South Platte, a Construction Zone, a Parking Lot at 11 p.m., and the Art Gallery), collectibles that represent 5-star reviews, citations, a BBB A+ seal, a website and a sales pipeline, a modern 3D mode and an old-skool 16-bit mode. Free, no download, works on phones.
Arrow keys / WASD, swipe on a phone, or the pad. Old-skool mode switches to a 16-bit top-down look — same game, chunkier pixels.

Why a game on a business site
Because attention is the first sale.
A visitor who plays for three minutes remembers the name. A visitor who walks through a door I built understands, without a pitch, that I can build things. That's the whole argument for interactive marketing — and it's why I put games, 3D showrooms and calculators on client sites when they fit. What I build for businesses → · The live work →
"If a website can make you smile, it can make you call."

About the arcade
Yes, and there's nothing to install — it runs in the browser on a phone or a computer. No account, no ads, nothing tracked.
Yes. It's original: my own code, my own art, no game engine, drawn through a small perspective camera I wrote for it. The old-skool mode is a nod to the Sega games I grew up on, with original tiles and a palette of my own.
Because those are the five things a real business needs to be found and chosen — I collect them for clients every day at Eye To Ad Media. The game is the fun version. The free audit is the real one.
Sites I built: World VR Mall (a walk-in 3D mall that works on VR headsets), VR Flying Simulator (nine aircraft, live weather, an AI instructor) and Virtual Reality Adventure. Hover a door to open it, click to step in right here.
That's what the video game developer page is about. Games, VR showrooms, 3D product tours, browser experiences that make a brand memorable — and that get found, because they're built with search in mind.
