The Chungbuk Global Game Center (hereafter, Game Center), supported by Cheongju City and operated by the Cheongju City Cultural Industry Promotion Foundation (CEO Park Sang-eon), announced the prospects for the local game industry with remarkable results in the first quarter.
According to the Game Center on the 26th, ‘Merge of Mini’ released in December last year by Delicious Games (CEO Lee Hyun-jin), a resident company, was selected as a Google feature in the last week of April. This is the fourth time that a game developed by Delicious Games has been selected as a Google feature, and the game center’s record of entering a Google feature is the ninth in total.
At the same time, PlayApps (CEO Lim Jae-cheong), which has been in its third year of residency, has been featured on Apple’s global preorder list with the newly developed game ‘Love is…’ , raising expectations for the simultaneous release of Apple and Google on the 29th.
PlayApps has already received attention as a promising player in the global game market by being selected as a Google feature for the second time in a row with ‘Find the wrong picture: Iljin is fierce’ released last year. This time , ‘Love is…’ was selected as a feature of Apple’s global preorder even before it was released, and the game center as well as the entire local game industry are excitedly shaking.
The Game Center said, “We applaud the blood, sweat, and tears of the tenant companies who are proving their technological prowess and capabilities by occupying everything from Google features to Apple global pre-order features. The Game Center will continue to provide full support so that all resident companies can grow without hesitation and Chungbuk can become the center of the central game industry in name and reality.”
Delicious Games’ ‘Merge of Mini’ is a mobile strategy simulation game that automatically proceeds according to the strategy established by the user. The number of downloads has already exceeded 10,000 thanks to the cute and colorful character production and the fun of watching the automatic battle game, and the user evaluation is also maintaining high satisfaction with a score of 4.3 out of 5.
In addition, ‘Love is …’ , which will be released simultaneously by Apple and Google on the 29th, is a hidden object game based on the original illustration by global star artist ‘Puong’. It is foreshadowing the emergence of a new emotional healing game, such as a paint smear effect.
Currently , ‘Merge of Mini’ can be downloaded from the Google Play Store, and ‘Love is…’ is scheduled to be officially released on Friday, the 29th, with pre-orders in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
