I made a multiplayer HTML5 game for web browsers but i have no idea how to monetize it. I don't have a google adsense account and I don't think they'd accept my game with low (20-30) amount of players, i can't afford server prices without ads. Any suggestions are welcome. (except sites that show popup ads or only has paypal as payment method)

Hey I dunno if anyone can help me, but I followed along with this tutorial to add CPMStar ads to the start of my game: http://www.emanueleferonato.com/2016/03/10/how-to-publish-your-html5-game-on-facebook-using-facebook-login-share-and-cpmstar-ads/ I signed up for an account with CPMStar and set up my game and they give me this spot id#: 14520QB5D9BE5C which looks to be used with Flash. My game is HTML5... All the examples I can find online use a "pid" which doesn't remotely resemble the code I was given: <script language="Javascript"> var cpmstar_rnd=Math.round(Math.random()*999999); var cpmstar_pid=10016; document.writeln("<SCR"+"IPT language='Javascript' src='//server.cpmstar.com/view.aspx?poolid="+cpmstar_pid+"&script=1&rnd="+cpmstar_rnd+"'></SCR"+"IPT>"); </script> Can anyone offer advice? Thanks

Hello! Here's a little promotional game I just completed with Phaser. This is my first foray into javascript/html5 and I think it turned out neat. Please give it a play in your browser! http://www.silveroaks.com/newyears http://www.silveroaks.com/christmas/ Thanks! [edit 12/31 - I added a little interactive Christmas card built with Phaser as well] I've found Phaser to be a great framework -- a lot of advergaming and promotional possibilities.

Yep, it's another flappy bird type of clone. But don't despair! I've added some other elements to the game play. The main reason for me creating this game was I wanted a simple concept to be able to get the game done quickly. Where I spent my time was not on making a unique game, but I wanted to go through the entire process of doing all of the other things outside of the game creation to get a mobile game deployed in an app store with a simple banner advertising along the bottom. There were a lot of challenges to get things working. First off, the board here has been an incredible resource. I used posts here to handle the following issues. Proper scaling of the game for mobile resolutionsBest practices for audio in the mobile space (Kindle Fire being the only exception)Best practices for implementing pause/resumeGetting CocoonJS/MoPub/Admob integrated and workingBest practices and things to avoid when using CocoonJs/Phaser In addition, I wanted to go through the metrics of getting a good looking game out into the Google Play Store. Making appropriate game-play screenshots, videos for the store listing. How to sign the .APK file in order to be published to the store. How to handle versions after deployment to incorporate new features and update to devices. Differences between deploying to Chrome store vs. Google Play vs. Kindle marketplace using a single code base. The lessons learned from this process were to better educate myself on the challenges for targeting mobile platforms. In addition to these findings, I also want to include in the future: deploying to iOS, multiple ad network integration (pros/cons of performance via mopub and impressions), better marketing techniques during the process of game development through release and beyond, testing on multiple mobile devices If you aren't adverse to yet another game that follows the flappy bird mechanic, I would appreciate any feedback on the game or experience on your particular mobile platform.

Hi, I am a part of a startup called GreedyGame Media and we have developed a tool(SDK) that when included in the game development environment will allow certain elements of the games to be replaced with branded assets at the run time. The sdk is build in such an efficient way that it minimizes the coding required. This will result in a highly contextual in-game advertising of the brands and game developers can benefit through it on a large scale. We gave reach to brands and our tool is cross platform plus concentrated on mobiles. Interested developers can contact here or can reach us at [email protected] In the meantime, you can check our website: http://www.greedygame.com
