近日，社交游戏技术提供商Sibblingz公司在其跨平台开发引擎中添加了应用内置付费功能，支持开发商在iOS和Android游戏中增加这一选项。据了解，该功能已可在使用Facebook虚拟货币的网页游戏中实现。

另外，Sibblingz的姐妹公司CrowdStor出品的Facebook游戏《快乐岛》（Happy Island）也已经证明这一功能系统非常管用，《快乐岛》的iOS和Android客户现在可从付费版本转向免费版本，将标准的Facebbok模式、iTunes和谷歌Checkout这三种付费系统整合起来，通过Facebook Connect这一功能实现绑定。

Sibblingz公司创始人本·萨维奇（Ben Savage）表示，“将《快乐岛》变身为免费版本，从Facebook移植到手机平台是Sibblingz在跨平台社交游戏解决方案上迈出的重要一步，既然手机游戏已经具有虚拟商品的微交易功能，用户在手机上也可以享受全面的社交游戏体验，随时游戏，随地付费。”

Sibblingz的执行主席、YouWeb创始人及CrowdStar董事长皮特·瑞朗（Peter Relan）表示，希望《快乐岛》免费模式的成功可以成为其他开发商和游戏作品的跨平台发展树立样本。（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译）

Sibblingz adds iOS and Android in-app purchases into its trans platform game engine

Demos system integration with Happy Island 

Social game technology company Sibblingz has dropped in-app purchases into its cross platform engine, enabling developers to add the option to their iOS and Android games. It already supported the feature for webgames using Facebook Credits.

It’s also demonstrated how the system works on the respective platforms via sister company CrowdStar’s Happy Island Facebook game.

Hence the iOS and Android Happy Island clients have now switched from paid to freemium titles, matching the standard Facebook model with iTunes and Google Checkout integration. All three versions are hooked up socially using Facebook Connect.

“Taking Happy Island from Facebook to the mobile world as a freemium product is a definitive step in making Sibblingz a complete trans platform social gaming solution,” says Ben Savage,Sibblingz’s founder.

“Now that the mobile game features premium virtual goods with micro transactions, it will give users a complete social gaming experience: play and spend anytime, anywhere.”

“We hope the success of Happy Island’s jump to the freemium model on mobile will set an example for other developers and brands interested in taking their game cross-platform,” says Peter Relan,executive chairman of Sibblingz, and founder of the YouWeb incubator that also owns CrowdStar.

“Sibblingz is pioneering the way to a world where your social game goes with you from your office to your car to your living room.”（source:pocketgamer）
