Kakao Games announced on the 25th that it has signed a global publishing contract for a mobile collection-type development simulation game 'Project C' (tentative name) with its development subsidiary Lionheart Studio.
This contract is the third collaboration between the two companies following 'Oddin: Valhalla Rising' and 'Project Q' (tentative name), and is the first subculture genre to be introduced together. Kakao Games emphasized that its strategy is to successfully achieve the 'genre diversification' and 'global targeting' by fully exercising its development and service capabilities.
'Project C' is being developed as a collective fostering simulation game based on mobile and PC cross-platforms. Set in a fantasy world view of five continents, the story of girls with various personalities was drawn at the academy 'Nevula'. It features high-quality graphics using Unreal Engine 5, three-dimensional characters that vary in skill values, skills, and appearance depending on the results of the development, communication-based 'communication fostering' considering the characteristics and tendencies of each character, roles and combinations, and an in-depth automatic turn-based combat system considering skill synergy.
Through this contract, Kakao Games will acquire the domestic and global (excluding China) service rights of 'Project C' and support global services based on subculture game service know-how. Lionheart Studio plans to showcase various lineups by proving its development power in new genres based on its outstanding development power in hardcore genres.
Han Sang-woo, CEO of Kakao Games, said "We will concentrate our close ties with Lionheart Studios and the excellent capabilities of both companies to provide fun and experience different from the existing collective fostering simulation genre in the global beyond Korea." Chairman Kim Jae-young of Lionheart Studio said "We are doing our best to showcase well-made works in the subculture genre based on our solid development capabilities. We will create a synergy virtuous cycle based on our partnership with Kakao Games."
