Future Plans: Monetization

Post by epicnerf » Tue Sep 10, 2019 3:37 pm

During development I will monetize the game with donations.
Depending on how good this works I will have to monetize the game somehow else.

I dont want to make this game monetization focused. This destroys so many good games :(
Feel free to add ideas in this thread.

Use micro transactions to lock some races? But I imagine you get problems with web based versions of the game.

Maybe provide a free version and a premium version. Whereas the premium version enables you to unlock more races then the free version.
Problem is how to merge progress of free version to the premium version?
Maybe simple login and store progress in this account. If loggedin from a premium app, account gets upgraded to premium. Then you could provide premium version in app store or ability to buy premium on your website.

Attack possibility is a user who generates multiple premium accounts from one app. Therefore you need to store premium upgrade source and downgrade the old account.

Dont forget the possibility to sync manually or somehow indicate missed syncs to the server. Otherwise local progress could be lost :(
