CrowdStar Announces Global Ambitions, It Girl Goes to Asia on NHN

It Girl developer Crowdstar announced a global aspiration today titled “Project Trident” that will spread the company’s top Facebook and mobile game franchises to international networks.

The first part of the project is It Girl and Top Girl’s migration to Asia via South Korean games portal operator NHN. The “Girl” franchise will start out in Japan on NHN’s affiliate there before in theory migrating to South Korea and China. NHN’s largest games portal, Hangame, claims to be the largest in South Korea with 24 million registered uses and 240,000 concurrent users at its peak traffic.

Meanwhile on Facebook and mobile in western markets, Crowdstar is preparing to augment its games library with eight new game launches before the end of Q4 — one of which is due to launch this weekend. Currently, the “Girl” franchise is Crowdstar’s leader at 3.3 million monthly active users and 280,000 daily active users on Facebook and over 4 million downloads of the mobile game. The developer says it expects its mobile revenues to account for half the company’s overall revenue this year.

According to the press release announcing Project Trident, the Girl franchise enjoys close to 8 million MAU and 1 million DAU across Facebook, mobile, and global. For Facebook’s part, It Girl has been in decline for the past two to three months across MAU and DAU — reflecting an almost 47% drop in DAU for the past 30 days alone. As for MAU, it was already in a gradual decline before Facebook changed its accounting practices for active users on October 14.
