Z2Live

First, let’s start with the plain English version of how it works …

You, the developer, want to make money and like the idea of getting paid for enhancing your game with multiplayer features. Smart.

You have a great new multiplayer game idea for your existing iPhone game, or maybe a whole new multiplayer game idea so you register with us and access our online SDK and developer support features. Go ahead, it’s free.

You have a great new multiplayer idea for your existing iPhone game, or maybe a whole new multiplayer innovation so you register with us and access our online SDK and developer support features.  Go ahead, it’s free.

You develop your game using our Z2Libraries and launch your game on your own iTunesConnect account. You are now in business and making money from your multiplayer game. You get paid by Apple directly (albeit later than you would like) when players purchase Z2Live’s multiplayer option in your game. You can choose to offer both multiplayer and voice chat in your game. Remember, you also get our patent pending push notification invites that help players promote your game to their friends. If they like your game, they will certainly want play with their friends – and we help the do that simply and effortlessly.

As far as pricing, you have control but we recommend that you offer your game for free and charge $1.99 as an in-app purchase for the Z2Live multiplayer option. This will give them unlimited multiplayer and voice chat for an entire year.

Of course, you can always choose any price point for your game and even bundle Z2Live's features into the price, but in any case, Z2Live asks for a revenue share of $0.30 for every user that signs up. In any case, you collect your multiplayer game revenue and share $0.30 to Z2Live, and, of course, the 30% to Apple.

Under the above scenario of charging $1.99, you make $1.10 per registered user as follows; 

But that is not all.

So that you can sell more of your games to more gamers, Z2Live is committed to building a large multiplayer gamer community. All Z2Live enabled games become part of the Z2Network and multiplayer gamer community which means we will actively promote your game to our community. Our services include:

Wondering how that works?

The answer is simple. We make money only when you make money – and that is when a consumer chooses to signup for Z2Live’s multiplayer services. So we work hard to promote your game. We even have rewarded and paid install programs that promote your game to our growing community of gamers who play Z2Live enabled multiplayer games.
