Idle Games is trying to do something different with social gaming. The company's first game, the upcoming Idle Worship, is a massively multiplayer god game that features both synchronous and asynchronous play, superb production values, and is supported by some impressive tech. Whereas most social games are developed in just a few months, Idle Worship has been in the works for close to two years. Gamezebo recently spoke with studio co-founder Jeffrey Hyman about the company, the game, and their lofty ambition to become "the Pixar of casual games."

Idle Games recently made some waves at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference in San Francisco, when co-founder Jeffrey Hyman compared Zynga to a black and white television. During a lengthy interview with Gamezebo, Hyman expanded further on the developer's focus on quality, which includes both match-making and synchronous gameplay features, to create what Hyman believes is "the first truly social game that's going to be on Facebook."
