PayVault in your SiteBox

We have now made it ridiculously easy to integrate PayVault into Facebook apps that are hosted through our SiteBox feature! If you are using SuperRewards or Gambit for your game, there is now a new Sitebox tag called payvault that displays the offer IFrame from either of these two providers.

This means that if you want a Flash game on Facebook that makes money through offers, the only thing you need now is a kick-ass game that uses up your virtual currency, everything else is taken care of by our services.

We updated our Seedlings example so you can see it in action, and we have also updated the example game you get when you create a new Facebook App in SiteBox so you can learn from our example.

Better Game Statistics

Many of you have asked us for more and better statistics on the resources your games use, and we have now released the resource usage view for all games. You can find the link to it under each game in the Admin Panel. You can view as far back as three months, and you’ll get the numbers grouped by each separate service:

With this data it should be much easier for you to see how your games are performing, how much resources they use, and this in turn should help you optimize your game. When developing you can use this to figure out the impact of a single user, and as your game takes off you can follow it in a better way.

These are also the numbers that form the basis of the usage invoice for those of you on paid plans, and we hope that by releasing this information you can get a better understanding of the monthly totals.

If you have any other cool ideas for data we should show on this page, if you have any questions regarding your usage, or if you just want help optimizing your game, just take it to the forum.

We're Player.IO, a powerful and scalable backend for your online games.
