Singing out for now, 3D Pioneer. 

King, the leading interactive mobile entertainment company, have just reported their financial results for the first quarter of 2014.

Q1, 2014 has been fruitful (to say the least) for King, who are reported to have generated a record quarterly mobile gross bookings of $480 million. Their adjusted EBITDA has more than tripled to $249 million.

One reason behind this growth could be down to the reach and size of the player network expanding, with monthly unique users increasing to 352 million in Q1, 2014. Three King games were top 10 grossing games on all major platforms – Apple App Store and Google Play Store (US) and Facebook (worldwide) for Q1-14.

We’ve been having a great deal of fun here at 3D Pioneer Systems Inc working on the character development in our first mobile game, Tangled Tut. We’re really fine tuning the characters and bringing them to life, we’d even go as far as to say giving them personality, moods and behavioural traits.

We believe that our character development could go as far as to make or break the emotional connection gamers will have with our characters – so we’re investing a huge amount of research, creative thinking and passion into this. (more…)
