Room MarketplaceMay 17, 2024
By incorporating a shop into your room or offering limited-time deals, you can enhance the value of items and encourage engagement and retention. Dynamic pricing for player rewards and customizable themes provide fresh experiences and skins, further enticing players to stay engaged and invested in the game.
- Storefront V2: If you haven't already, consider adding a storefront 2 to your room experience. Displaying multiple offers can provide your players with options and choices to enhance their experience while they're in your room.
- Room offers: The feature enables creators to sell room inventory items, offering the flexibility to include one or more inventory items or none at all. Additionally, it can serve as a platform for donations. Moreover, creators can utilize circuits to grant perks, rewards, and other benefits once a purchase is completed.
- Rewards: Enhance player engagement by offering exciting rewards as they reach milestones and accomplish objectives in your room experiences.
- Inventory items: Room inventory consists of items owned by players within a room. Each item has a name, icon, and optional description. Players can own multiple copies. Some items support a "Use Action," which triggers a circuit signal. Players activate this feature via the Room Inventory screen, Quick Slot, or circuits chip.
- Limited-time offers: Provide items sold during certain times, offer limited-time discounts, or hold events to increase the value of items and offers. When items are sold for a limited time, it boosts sales and excitement.
- Starter pack: Have you thought about offering starter packs in your experiences? Players enjoy inviting their friends to join them, especially when it's one of their favorite games in Rec Room. Starter packs are fantastic for helping players get started, especially when their lives are busy. It's helpful to be able to jump in and enjoy an experience with your friends without having to grind your way there.
- Dynamic pricing: As players earn or take certain actions while playing or enjoying an experience, it can give them discounts on store items. Consider a system where players need to interact with each other in a game to gain a reward or offer from the store. This can increase engagement as you are incentivizing players to stay longer and take action to earn a certain amount of points.
- Customization themes: Allow players to purchase themes of experiences so that they feel like they can enjoy something new every time, or provide different skins that players can show off.
- Player-to-player trading: Allow players to buy, sell, and trade virtual items or in-game currency with each other through the room marketplace. This fosters a sense of community and encourages player interaction as they negotiate deals and exchange goods.
