Hackathon

Calling all game developers:

Get ready to monetize your game with intrinsic in-game advertising.

Start Date: November 2, 2020 (9:00 am PT)
Deadline: November 15, 2020 (9:00 am PT)

This hackathon has ended.

Thank you for your participation, we look forward to seeing you next year!

We’re inspiring you to continue to build amazing video games while implementing the next level of monetization within your game.  This challenge is searching for the best uses of Frameplay’s Intrinsic Advertising SDK in the following categories:

  • Most Intrinsic Ad Placement
  • Best Use of Synchronized Ad Spaces
  • Innovation Award
  • Best Overall Use of Frameplay SDK

The submission deadline is November 15, 2020.  The best submissions in each category will receive bragging rights, exposure on Frameplay’s social channels, and an in-game revenue strategy session with Frameplay’s CEO, Jonathon Troughton.

We value your feedback and want to hear about your experiences during the hackathon using our technology.

The Frameplay SDK offers you a simple solution for embedding revenue-raising advertisements into your game.  You can get this hackathon started in less than 20 minutes with our simple initialisation process, that only requires one line of code.  Our Editor workflow is fast and easy to follow.  Run-time impact on frame-rate and garbage collection is kept to an absolute minimum.

Video game developers already working with Frameplay’s Intrinsic Advertising SDK no longer need to depend on microtransactions and loot boxes for revenue.  They are in control of how and where ads are placed into their game environments.
