On August 8, the Dropleaf platform, which offers a subscription service for a library of games from independent developers, started working in beta testing mode.
Startups with subscriptions to indie games are gaining popularity: in less than a month, two services with similar functionality appeared: first the Jump platform, and then Dropleaf.
The format and monetization models of the two platforms are very similar. Monthly subscription to Dropleaf during the beta testing period will be $5, but will increase to $10 after a full launch. The Jump subscription costs the same amount.
The income of game developers in both services will depend on the time that gamers will spend in their titles.
Vikram Rangraj, CEO and co-founder of Dropleaf, defined the mission of the service to give players access to high-quality and unusual games and to help independent developers present their creations to an interested audience.
There are 40 games available in the Dropleaf catalog, including A Normal Lost Phone and Blind Legend. The creators of the service plan to add 10-20 new titles monthly.
As in the case of Jump, the titles for the Dropleaf library are selected manually.
