John Bedford (Modojo): Lee Perry, the games designer who worked on games such as Gears of War and Fortnite, has announced the first game from his new studio BitMonster Games.
Titled Lili, the game is due to be released for iOS devices in the next few weeks, and will be an Unreal Engine-powered adventure RPG title that features an "amusing non-combat system".
The freemium model offers a free-to-play game experience that monetizes through the player’s purchase of more-or-less optional in-game content. This distribution method can offer a lot to players.
Like everyone else who remembers driving to the mall to buy a new PC game in a box, I love checking out a game before deciding to buy it. And I'm happy paying for an awesome extra upgrade in a free game. Spending 99 cents in a freemium game for a more powerful sword for my brave adventurer or a faster cupcake oven for my cute little baker often serves as the same kind of pick-me-up as an afternoon latte.
But there’s a depressing side to freemium as well...
