It has studios in Helsinki, San Francisco, and Shanghai. With all of these games in development, Supercell has now grown to more than 350 employees around the world.
“For us, launching of a game is just the beginning, not the end.” A global companyĮverdale started with a small team, and it has about 20 people now. “Clash of Clans, which by the way just turned 9 years old, is still doing well, and Clash Royale has had an amazing year so far, and it’s growing,” he said. He noted that millions of players are familiar with the Clash intellectual property, which got started in 2012 with the launch of Clash of Clans on iOS and 2013 for Android. The benefit is more players will want to give us feedback.” “These games may not make it to the global launch, but we feel it’s much better to just be open and tell players that this is what they’re working on. “We want it to be open and transparent, and that’s why we’ve made the announcement,” Paananen said. The first one in beta testing is Clash Quest, and the next one coming out after that is Clash Mini, which is the first game to come out of Supercell’s Shanghai studio. You’ll play a variety of adventures, some bite-sized and light-hearted, others more epic (like when you encounter a Goblin Giant or a Golem), and you’ll turn your band of misfits into legendary heroes.Īll the games have been in development for a while. The game is in development.Ĭlash Heroes is a game where you assemble a team of characters, and set out on a journey through the world of Clash. The game is in beta testing.Ĭlash Mini is a casual strategy game where players will be competing for intelligence and strategy against each other using miniatures. This just happened.”Ĭlash Quest is a new combat game that combines puzzle-based combat mechanics with familiar Clash troops and spells, where you explore the archipelagos of the Clash world, conquering your enemies with combinations of troops, power ups, items, and strategy. There are no artificial pressures or deadlines that will be pushed from management.
“I think it’s a coincidence that they are doing so as the teams decide when to put them out there, and they think they are ready. “It’s exciting to have three Clash games going and that they may be coming out in a short time frame,” he said. This is part of the company’s plan to be more transparent about its game development. Paananen also said there are three new Clash games going through the development process. Singularity 6 raised $30 million to build a peaceful building game, but that title is positioned more as a massively multiplayer online game for a variety of platforms. “The team was bold enough to try something completely different.” “We are super-optimistic and excited to have the game go out,” he said. Paananen said the team still doesn’t know if the global launch will happen because anything can happen in the beta testing. Now we’re finally ready to launch the game with its final name and brand.” That phase is over and now it is going out to a lot more players. “It would have been difficult to do with a beta testing. “The whole development process was quite interesting,” Paananen said. The team constantly adjusted the social mechanics to make them better on a fast iteration cycle. Players start by building a village and then connect with other players. Because of that, Supercell felt it could only test it with large groups of players, and so it put the game out without using Supercell’s name and enabled the team to start learning from player feedback. He said that 5G networks make the real-time technology slightly better, but the company is making its platform as “technology agnostic” as possible.Įverdale differs from Hay Day in that it’s a lot more social. Paananen said the company had to work on the real-time social technology for some time to get it right.
It is also a social game right from the start, allowing players to play as a community in the same seamless world. The whole starting point of this game was that they wanted to make it extremely social.” Other players progress and play together. “It allows people to see a player’s progress in real time. “From a technology perspective, we are proud of this real-time technology that has been developed for the game,” he said. Everdale enables players to collaborate and see each other’s progress in real time, Paananen said. It’s set in a new fantasy universe that is peaceful, relaxing, and filled with enchantment. Supercell says Everdale is rooted in cooperative world building.
