Flappy Bird to return in August with multiplayer
Dong Nguyen discusses his plans to make Flappy Bird's return a more modest affair

MANILA, Philippines – Flappy Bird, the mobile game that grew in popularity by infuriating people with its addictive, skill-based gameplay – is making a return in August, but it won’t be the same game you remember.

In an interview with CNBC, Flappy Bird creator Dong Nguyen discussed how the game will eventually come back.

Nguyen said he’d make the game “less addicitive,” while adding multiplayer elements into the game itself. The interview also pegged the game for an August return.

While Nguyen originally mentioned earning upwards of US$50,000 a day from advertising in the game, ad revenue from people still playing Flappy Bird is “not much” now.

While Flappy Bird proved to be a runaway hit the first time, Nguyen appears to be refining the formula to make its fabled return the game he originally intended it to be: a modest gaming success for a humble developer. – Rappler.com
