Does anybody know of a plugin for Unity that allows players to make in-game purchases on a PC standalone build without the player having to exit the game window?
Hi, your question intrigued me so I did a bit of google on this. The hard part for me was to get appropriate search terms to even locate such services. This is all I could come up via a link at indiegamer.com
This is only a link that I have known for about 10 minutes. Needless to say I HAVE NOT USED this product.
I’m not sure if this is what you are seeking. Only trying to help ![]()
Thanks Mr.T I have popped them a mail.
No Problem.
If any useful information turns up from your email exchanges with them ie if it is anything close to what you are seeking in your OP, please let the rest of us here know as well.
i would approach this sort of thing by opening up a web browser
can unity open a browser? if so you can open a link to a webshop, and this shop could be tied into your server infrastructure, that’s personally what I’ll do.
the common way to overcome this disparity and make it more ingame seems to be buying microcurrency
@Mr.T, they have a Visual C++ API… so a plugin would need to be developed to work with Unity.
I really couldn’t be bothered to write a plugin, and their API seems pretty comprehensive and a lot to get the head around.
I’ll probably just end up using PlayerIO.com and their PayPal APi’s for handling payments through a browser.
@Meltdown Ah. So even if it is viable, this will require Unity Pro and then the added headache of writing a C++ plugin?
Thanks for the info
