Why is it important?

Knowing how players like to spend their money is a hugely important aspect to helping ensure your game gets players to part with their hard-earned cash.

But it’s also important to know that monetisation can’t just be shoe-horned in, it’s a critical part of the design process. Poor monetisation can affect gameplay, just like poor gameplay can affect monetisation.

So if you want to make a game that’s both great and makes money, making monetisation a key part of your game design strategy is a must.

Who is this course for?

This course will offer some introductory articles for beginners on the broad types of monetisation on offer to developers. Once you’ve got the basics down, the course then goes more in-depth on how these forms of monetisation can be implemented into a game’s design, when to do this, the psychology behind monetisation and other tricks of the trade.

Check out the Course Content tab above for the full course. We'll be updating this throughout the week as more parts of the course are made live, so be sure to check back for more information!
