Through their most recent update, the Crystal SDK from Chillingo now support monetization tools for developers making use of freemium models on the App Store.
The new version of the SDK will help developers to sell virtual items as well as allowing gamers to gift virtual items to each other and promote the app itself.
“We now offer our developers two alternative business models to engage gamers – the traditional one-off paid model, and a freemium model,” said Joe Wee, Co-Founder and Director of Chillingo. He adds, “We have spent the past six months extending our technology framework. It now provides our developers and ultimately our customers more choice in how they choose to engage with social games on mobile platforms.“
