日前，韩国手机游戏发行商Gamevil宣布收购了本国独立Android应用开发商RYUminus公司。据游戏邦了解，RYUminus的代表作是备受本土市场欢迎的音乐表演摸拟游戏《TouchMix》。

Gamevil公司首席财务官李谷勇（Yong Kuk Lee）表示，TouchMix是韩国Android应用商店中排名第一的音乐节奏类游戏开发商，Gamevil不但要成为TouchMix的第一方发行商，而且还要将后者的游戏成功推向海外。

游戏邦还发现，TouchMix公司在Android Market网站页面上也发出了声明，“TouchMix所有的游戏授权和版权都已移交给Gamevil公司，当前版本的《TouchMix》将在Gamevil的主导下推出升级版本。”

Gamevil素有在不同风格游戏中植入RPG元素的传统，所以我们猜测，Gamevil也许会开创一种新的游戏类型RARPG（节奏动作类角色扮演游戏）？（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译，转载请注明来源：游戏邦）

Gamevil buys Korean rhythm action developer RYUminus

Gamevil’s been one of the Android success stories of 2010, with Zenonia and Baseball Superstars 2011 scoring well in critical polls and sales charts alike.

Now it appears to be expanding into the realm of publishing for 2011, with the recent acquisition of Korean independent Android developer RYUminus.

RYUminus is responsible for the music performance simulation game TouchMix, which has been a massive hit in its domestic market.

The game follows a similar path to rhythm action games such as Dance Dance Revolution, with the player matching the beat of lively K-pop ditties.

Buy to the beat

Gamevil’s PR blurb explains the acquisition thus:

“We’re excited to bring aboard TouchMix, which has been squarely at number one in the rhythm game genre on the carrier Android stores in Korea.” said Yong Kuk Lee, Gamevil’s CFO.

“Going forward, Gamevil hopes to make its mark not only as first party publishing but also as publishers of excellent external games.”

Head on over to TouchMix’s Android Market page and you’ll be greeted with the following message:

“All licenses and rights of TouchMix has been transferred to Gamevil Inc., and current version of TouchMix will be updated throughout a new title under Gamevil’s control.”（source:pocketgamer）
