One line (Friday — July 8)
The world release of the role-playing slasher Heroes of Incredible Tales took place, the natives of Rovio and Nokia will publish their debut project in China, and Sensor Tower published a cheat sheet on localization of keywords for the App Store.
1. NAT Games and Nexon have launched the Heroes of Incredible Tales (HIT) project in the world stores. This is a role-playing slasher, which before the global release has already managed to visit the Top 5 highest-grossing games in South Korea on Google Play. The title offers the player to try on the role of the savior of the world from the dark forces and fight hordes of enemies. The user will be able to upgrade the character, unlock new skills, and so on. The game features single player, cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes. The iOS version of the game is available at this link, and Android is available at this link.
2. Koukoi Games, which was founded by former employees of Rovio and Nokia, is going to be published in China. The team has only one game available so far – the 3D runner Crashing Season. It is this project that the studio will publish in China together with the local company MyGamez. The game will be renamed Crazy Animal Season and completely redesigned for the local market. “China has just tightened the rules for publishing mobile games, and therefore it is especially important for us to work with a trusted publisher, such as MyGamez, who will take care of all the necessary formalities,” commented Antti Kananen, CEO of Koukoi Games.
3. Sensor Tower company shared a cheat sheet on localization of keywords for the App Store. The fact is that the length of the keyword string in the App Store should not exceed 100 characters. But this only applies to a set of keywords in one language. In some countries, the App Store allows them to be localized into several languages. For example, in the USA, you can place 100 keywords in English and 100 in Spanish. Therefore, Sensor Tower has made a selection that tells in which regions it is allowed to use several sets of keywords. And in what language. The link to the selection is here.
