Key quote:
“If we are able to deliver games that have proven numbers in terms of economics, core loop and onboarding, verified by data from live operations and services, this will reduce the chances of failure to a dramatic degree. This would be even stronger with a game that has a known IP. That is why we have decided to bring two important titles to Telegram: a Ragnarok idle RPG and Boxing Star, both tested games with proven IPs.”
Joonmo Kwon, CEO of Delabs Games
Worth reading: The first Telegram-based game to be released by Delabs Games as part of its initiative to publish games on Telegram is Ragnarok, which is speculated to be Ragnarok Labyrinth, an NFT game first released by Gravity in 2022 but discontinued.
