I have decided to implement monetization.&nbsp;Yes, yes, I know. No, but yeah, yes. Lol.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The plan is to make it a distraction as minimal as possible. That means ads will not be distracting you in the heat of battle! However, after you, the sooper dooper skillful player, lose all your lives, you will need to watch an ad&nbsp;in order to continue playing. It's a reward ad and most of you mobile players will be familiar with it.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>I have already implemented most of the work regarding two solutions: Google Ads and Unity Ads. For the version which will be available here on itch.io, Unity Ads will be used.&nbsp;Sometime later, I am planning to release the game on the Google Play Store.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Now, for a secret. Just between you and me, alright? I am planning on implementing some nice multiplayer action for the Google Play&nbsp;Store version. And as of now, as I am imagining it, it will most probably be a local area network solution. Something like sitting next to each other, and laughing at your wingman. Always fun!<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>As for the release date, I was planning on having it finished before New Year. Well, it will take some more time, but the itch.io version should be pretty much ready soon.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Have a merry Christmas my fellow gamers and a happy New Year!<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[19,20],"class_list":["post-10018","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-games","tag-2d","tag-platformer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/games.zenmasters.software\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10018","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/games.zenmasters.software\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/games.zenmasters.software\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/games.zenmasters.software\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/games.zenmasters.software\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10018"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/games.zenmasters.software\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10018\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10026,"href":"https:\/\/games.zenmasters.software\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10018\/revisions\/10026"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/games.zenmasters.software\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10018"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/games.zenmasters.software\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10018"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/games.zenmasters.software\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10018"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
