Kim Kardashian Video Game: 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' Star Wants to Create More Apps, Hopes to Have a 'Bigger Presence in the Tech World'
Fresh off her selection as one of the masterminds on Adweek's list of the hottest mobile game creators of 2014, Kim Kardashian admits she is looking for a bigger place in the world of tech creation.
The 34-year reality TV star appeared on the March cover of Adweek, in which she told the magazine of her foray into the industry.
"I had just had the baby, and so I was being really choosy about what I was working on. I got a call from the company Glu Mobile to partner up and do a video game. I asked my husband, 'What do you think of this? What would the concept be?' And he was like, 'Oh my God, you have to do a video game? It's so cool.'"
With that, "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood" was born. In the past year, creators anticipated at least $200 million in sales, with Kardashian set to pocket a cool $85 million.
According to AdWeek, since its launch in the summer of 2014, the game has attracted 28 million downloads and resulted in 11 billion minutes of play. And Kardashian has every intention of keeping the clicks coming.
"I think that adding my family members [as characters] and a bunch of cameos will get people excited," she said of how she plans to keep the momentum building. "I started with adding my mom and now my sisters [last year]. Even my pets that I've had either now or in the past are in it. I want to make it as lifelike as possible."
Also set to launch soon is the 10th season of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians."
"I hope to have a bigger presence in the tech world. I love coming up with different app ideas, and I have a few more that are coming out."
