据游戏邦了解，游戏开发公司LOLapps最近决定将在2011年1月31日关闭旗下Facebook游戏应用《Supermodel: The Game》。该款游戏发布于2010年4月，目前仅有约1000名用户。现在，玩家登录该款游戏后将收到一条来自开发公司的通告，文中通知该款游戏将于本月底停止运营。在此，游戏开发团队感谢玩家长久以来的支持，并提醒广大玩家游戏虽然下线，但之前玩家购买的任何游戏道具或虚拟货币并无法兑换回现金。

据游戏邦了解，LOLapps旗下的这款模特主题游戏《Supermodel》一直以来都没有获得类似Ravenwood Fair的广泛好评。在该款游戏中，玩家扮演一位超级名模，需要提升各种数据以完成游戏任务。游戏模式类似于Mafia Wars，但却更多是一堆按键，游戏动画等元素明显少于Mafia Wars。

发布之初，《Supermodel》通过虚拟商品和游戏广告得到了来自Barbie, Modelina和Express等主要品牌的赞助支持，然而不幸的是，该款游戏并没有吸引到值得投资的用户基础。

对于关闭《Supermodel: The Game》，LOLapps表示是为了“将更多的力量投入到未来更新颖有趣的游戏体验开发之中”。在此，游戏邦祝愿LOLapps公司下一款游戏延续Ravenwood Fair的辉煌。（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译，转载请注明来源：游戏邦）

Well, it was fun while it lasted, right? LOLapps has decided that Supermodel: The Game had a good run on Facebook and will shut down this Jan. 31. The game, which launched in April 2010, has held onto just over one thousand players since its release. Upon logging into the game, players will find a somber message from the developers informing them that the game will no longer be playable by the end of the month. The team thanks its players, but reminds them that any purchases made in the game are non-refundable regardless of it shutting down.

It’s unfortunate that when compared to the studio’s current hit, Ravenwood Fair, Supermodel is expectantly a wasteland.Taking on the gameplay model of games like Zynga’s Mafia Wars, Supermodel was essentially a roleplaying game in which players assumed the role of a supermodel. Just like the games that inspired it, players can focus on a series of statistics to level up and take the game’s various tasks.

Unfortunately, the game amounts to a list of buttons to click with even less animation than Mafia Wars and the like. In it’s prime, Supermodel enjoyed sponsorships from major brands like Barbie, Modelina, and Express through virtual goods and in-game advertising, but sadly just couldn’t garner the player base to make those investments worthwhile. LOLapps official reasoning for closing down the game? “Going forward we feel this is the right choice as it will allow to pour ourselves into future projects with the aim of creating fresher, deeper gameplay experiences.” Let’s just hope the studios next game can both avoid controversy and emulate Ravenwood Fair’s success. （Source：Games.com）
