Lootboxes, microtransactions and advertising
Good morning, everyone,
Version 0.30.0 has been deployed yesterday but I wanted to describe the biggest changes with you.
This version introduces new ways to monetize your games. You can sell your games in a conventional way, i.e. with a purchase price or a monthly subscription, and now you can make free to play games and get paid through advertising or microtransactions. The revenues are lower, but your fanbase will grow faster.

Beside to advertising revenue, you can also add microtransactions. Three types of microtransactions are available. Cosmetics, which long-time players enjoy. New players love power boosts. And then there are the lootboxes. You decide what's in these lootboxes. You can put in power boosts as well as cosmetics.
[h2]More charts[/h2]
In order to help you make your games more profitable, a new financial details panel has appeared. It allows you to keep track of your players, but also to know how much advertising or microtransactions have brought you back.
As usual I describe here only the biggest changes, if you want to know more, you can either launch the game or read the Changelog. I hope you will like this update, and join us on discord to talk about it!
Cheers
