Hi,
did anyone anyone know or maybe even are using Z2Live?
I want to implement multiplayer for my upcoming turn based game and asked on Apple dev forums what would be the best approach for client/server implementation.
Anyway, guy from this company replied with nice explanations about multiplayer side of things on iPhones and it doesn’t look that simple.
Apparently Z2Live is made just for that - to make implementing multiplayer games on iPhone easy.
What I’m not sure about is their pricing model… From what I can tell they don’t charge developer, but they charge customer monthly fee of $0.99c. Actually they even pay developer some % of that fee too, directly to your iTunes account!
Now it sounds good and all, e.g you don’t need to worry about hosting your servers etc. and you even get more money, but how many people do you think will be paying monthly fee for multiplayer games?
I for some reason believe not many… Especially iPhone users…
What do you think?
