Smilegate's global gaming platform STOVE announced on the 16th that it has officially launched LUV PLACE. The launch celebration attendance event will run until the 31st, awarding up to 19,000 Flakes and 10 types of in-game items.
The attendance event operates on a cumulative basis. Players receive Flakes every time they check in, and will receive additional in-game items after the event ends. Along with this launch, a new server has also been opened, allowing new players to grow their characters from the same starting line and participate in ranking competitions and community content.
LUV PLACE is a community-oriented rhythm dance game that combines rhythm gameplay based on dancing to music with character customization and player interaction. For character customization, it offers 13 customization slots and over 23,000 types of costumes. By applying a costume dyeing system to physics engine-based avatars, players can express their own style.
Player interaction takes place through a couple system that leads from couple matching to weddings, as well as a guild-style 'Fam' system. Players can dance together and enjoy community activities.
In line with the STOVE launch, the UI/UX and various quality-of-life features have also been fully overhauled. Smilegate introduced LUV PLACE as the first dance game to support cross-platform play between PC and mobile. Players starting the game through STOVE can play in the same space as existing players.
Developer Katkit reflected its experience developing Club Audition Mobile into LUV PLACE. Club Audition Mobile was previously selected as Google Play's Best Casual Game of 2017.
