  • Puck & Pour

    Wellness & beauty

    Puck & Pour operates in the personal care market, specifically focusing on the niche of high-end, design-conscious soap. The company's business model is primarily direct-to-consumer (DTC), selling its products directly from its website, puckandpour.com. This approach allows the brand to maintain control over its image and customer relationships. The core of its revenue is generated through the sale of individual soap bars. The company positions its products as an "attainable luxury," targeting consumers who appreciate design and fragrance in everyday items. The pricing reflects this, with individual soap pucks listed at $9.00, making them suitable for personal use and as thoughtful, accessible gifts for occasions like birthdays or as host gifts. The brand's strategy focuses on turning a routine daily action into a refined ritual. Puck & Pour's main offering is its 'Founding Collection' of soap, which consists of eight distinct, numbered scent identities. Each soap is a 3 oz (85.05g) puck, designed to feel substantial and last between four to six weeks with daily use. The product's unique selling proposition is its treatment of soap like high-end fragrance. Each puck is composed with specific notes to create a distinct mood and atmosphere, moving beyond simple scents to create a 'fragrance identity'. The product line includes varied scent profiles such as floral, woody, aromatic, and citrus. Aesthetically, the soaps are designed to be visually appealing, with a quiet, sculptural look intended to be displayed on a bathroom counter rather than hidden away.

  • In January 2007, the project was renamed Alganon. The stated goal was to grow the team slowly and raise capital from private individuals. Alganon, the company's principal title, began development in 2006 and was released in December 2009. The launch was met with criticism for its bugs, technical problems, and strong similarities to World of Warcraft. This led to a significant corporate shakeup. Smart acknowledged the game's flawed launch, stating it "should never have happened" and initiated a relaunch of the game. Following the leadership change, the company faced a wrongful dismissal lawsuit from Allen, which was eventually settled. Under Smart's leadership, the company operated Alganon and released an expansion pack, "Rise of the Ourobani." The business model shifted, and the game eventually dropped its subscription fee. Despite these efforts, the game struggled to maintain a significant player base. The servers for Alganon were shut down in November 2017. Subsequently, in November 2017, Smart's company, 3000AD Inc., which had been managing the game's development since 2010, acquired a majority interest in Quest Online. Plans were announced to migrate the game to cloud servers for a future relaunch. As of early 2024, there have been announcements of a potential relaunch in 2025, following an invite-only alpha test.
