The complete server side solution for game developers

Meta-game & Economies

Currencies

Manage up to 6 different in-game currencies (including XP). Use currencies to reward players for achievement within the game and create trading systems.

Virtual Goods

Manage inventory lists across all stores, making product and pricing changes in real time and supporting complex inter-relationships between multiple goods and currencies.

Achievement Systems

Incentivise player engagement and retention through the use of rewards and achievements. Trigger the awarding of virtual goods and currencies dynamically as the player progresses through the game.

IAP & Fraud Detection

Our IAP management is completely cross platform and integrates with the Android, Apple and Windows Phone App Stores out of the box.

Catalogue and Storefront Management
