The Atari brand rose to prominence in the 1970s after the video arcade and console company created an electronic tennis game called "Pong," which was the first commercially successful video game. Nexon is still working on how to build on the first game's success, Mahoney said. "The first MapleStory is an incredibly deep and rich MMORPG, even though the surface layer is 2D and very simple and pixelated." "3D itself is not a key aspect of MapleStory," said Mahoney. Unlike the original game, MapleStory 2 was three dimensional.
Nexon said that MapleStory 2 did not win over fans because it wasn't true to the franchise. Like its contemporary, World of Warcraft, MapleStory has been a matchmaker for real-life friendships and even marriages. The massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) has taken root primarily in the Asian diaspora. MapleStory, which debuted in South Korea in 2003 before reaching North America in 2005, is still a free-to-play, money-grabbing success story. It will have in-app purchases and potentially offer season passes.Īlthough Neopets' first two mobile games, a "Candy Crush"-like matching game called "Ghoul Catchers" and a word game, "Legends and Letters," did not gain much momentum, Czulewicz said the brand's next game will center around the features Neopians love, like a story and well-written characters.
It will be similar in gameplay to a 2011 dragon building simulator "DragonVale" where users can design a park and put dragons on display. The franchise is launching another free mobile game, the third in its repertoire, called Island Builders, that will feature adventures and quests.
