One of the first games I worked on at High Voltage Software was the videogame adaptation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The challenge was to take the story, where Charlie is mainly an observer, into an interactive experience. One of my contributions was to have Charlie seek out the help of the Oompa Loompas to get things running in the factory. Interestingly enough, our team came up with the idea of the cotton candy sheep which Tim Burton liked so much he inserted it into the film.
