Anyone who’s not new in the Game Development industry knows how cut-throat it is here and making a game isn’t the challenging aspect at all in the business, but rather making revenue from it. Monetization remains one of the greatest challenges in the industry. While in-game stores have become standard, they often suffer from limited visibility and reach. What if there was a way to harness the influence of thousands of content creators to drive your in-game item sales? This is precisely what Tilted offers, a new approach to game monetization that benefits developers, creators, and players alike.

The In-Game Store Dilemma

Let’s face the reality: traditional in-game stores face significant limitations:

• Discovery Issues: Players must actively visit your store to see new items
• Limited Marketing Reach: Your marketing efforts only reach existing players
• Conversion Challenges: The path from awareness to purchase is often disjointed
• Zero External Promotion: In-game items rarely receive promotion outside the game itself

These limitations result in substantial missed revenue opportunities. Industry data shows that the average conversion rate for in-game purchases hovers between 2-5% of active players. But what about the millions of potential players who haven’t discovered your game yet?

Enter Tilted: Your Game’s Extended Sales Force

Tilted transforms this paradigm by connecting your in-game items with an army of motivated content creators who effectively become your extended sales force. Here’s how it works:

1. You make your game’s digital items available on the Tilted platform
2. Content creators showcase these items during streams and videos
3. Viewers can purchase these items directly through Tilted
4. Creators earn commission on sales, incentivizing further promotion
5. You receive revenue without additional marketing costs

This model creates a win-win-win scenario for all parties involved:

• Developers gain expanded reach and increased revenue
• Creators earn commissions by promoting items they genuinely enjoy
• Players discover new items through trusted creators

The Numbers: Why This Model Works

Let’s examine the potential impact through a hypothetical example:

Imagine your game has 50,000 active players with a 3% conversion rate on in-game purchases, averaging $15 per transaction. This generates approximately $22,500 monthly.

Now, consider Tilted’s model:

• 100 content creators featuring your game regularly
• Each creator reaches an average of 5,000 viewers (500,000 total potential customers)
• Even with a modest 1% conversion rate from this new audience
• That’s 5,000 additional transactions at $15 each
• Adding $75,000 in monthly revenue, a 333% increase

These figures represent a conservative estimate. As creators see success promoting your items, more will follow, creating a virtuous cycle of expanding reach and increasing sales.

The Marketing Multiplier Effect

The benefits extend far beyond direct sales. By having your in-game items featured on Tilted through content creators:

1. Expanded Brand Awareness

Content creators introduce your game to entirely new audiences who might never have discovered it through traditional marketing channels.

2. Social Proof at Scale

When popular creators showcase your items, they provide powerful social proof that influences purchasing decisions far more effectively than traditional advertising.

3. Community Building

The model fosters communities around specific games and items, creating cultural moments that drive sustained interest and sales.

4. Market Intelligence

Gain valuable data on which items resonate most with players based on creator promotion success, intelligence that can inform future development.
