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.

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 <url=https: discord.gg="" citygamestudio="">join us on discord to talk about it!</url=https:>

Cheers
