Top Canadian mobile group offering free-to-play games announces its intent to acquire both Expand Studio Group and Truly Social Games.

Founded by Cooper DuBois and his long-time associate and close friend Patrick Tougas, the executive level and support staff of TSG are excited to announce the letter of intent.

Truly Social Games has offices in Vancouver, BC, Canada, Portland, Oregon, and Minsk, Belarus. TSG has earned their reputation by building games that truly engage the players and developers in a meaningful way. This announcement brings excellent news to the gaming world as this will allow for more development and, of course, more state-of-the-art engaging games. 

According to Cooper DuBois Portland CEO, social mobile games are unique because they allow a broad audience to interact with each other as they play. Having been a part of every aspect of game development, Cooper DuBois has watched the industry grow over the last three decades and understands every aspect of social mobile games, from inception to launch. A massive shift has occurred with the COVID-19 pandemic, especially related to how people interact in person and through their mobile phones.

Social mobile games allow players to interact during gameplay, which helps them be a part of a larger community even when forced to stay at home. There are just a few critical functions that gamers are looking for in the newest and most popular social media games. First, the game must have chat functionality. While it may seem on the surface as just a way to allow players to speak to each other, in reality, it has two additional driving forces. The first is more robust engagement, and the second is larger communities. To put it simply, if you start playing a game that you enjoy, not only do you interact with others playing the same game, you also invite other online friends to play the new game.

Cooper DuBois Portland Gold Prospecting Adventure

For those who have done extensive research into this hobby, one might have found information on ‘gold pans.’ Gold pans are used for separating sand and gravel to see specks of Gold, which is done by panning. A metal detector can help locate where Gold may be buried, but a garden trowel is a good option for those who want to dig deeper without the monetary cost. These can be found at any hardware store and allow you to excavate areas to fine sand and silt without breaking your back.

For those who have not yet experienced this hobby, it’s essential to understand that different equipment options depend on how much work you desire. I’ve personally seen people search for Gold in rivers with nothing more than a pair of jeans, gloves, and boots; others use high-powered pieces of machinery such as a backhoe or a bulldozer. Both options have their perks and disadvantages, making it essential to be informed before searching for Gold in any capacity.

Gold Prospecting For Exercise

For those who want the thrill of a physical adventure without much technology, gold panning is perfect. Gold panning does not require power or electricity, simply a river and time. After marking off an area that has been submerged in water for at least 24 hours with tape, all it takes is some simple hand tools such as a garden trowel and a bucket to separate sand from silt from gravel allowing you to find small pieces of precious metals. If you are lucky enough, finding gold nuggets this way can be particularly rewarding, providing exercise and entertainment simultaneously!

Regardless of what level of experience one desires, there are available products that accommodate everyone’s needs. By researching before purchasing any gold prospecting supplies, you can ensure that you have the most enjoyable experience possible, allowing you to reap the full benefits of your purchase. If all else fails, make sure you are prepared for outdoor conditions by wearing proper clothing and footwear. This will allow anyone, whether they are searching for gold nuggets or pans, to be successful in their pursuits without fear of injury.
