but epic will put themselves first every time

pallid raven
#

Daekesh, do you ever have anything agreeable to say?

#

like say something like.. this actually does suck for sellers and buyers so I know you are not just some smug dude who has negative statements? eh?

#

seriously.. this is going to hurt our community

opal hazel
#

writing is on the wall for the community really i keep saying godot is the future for indie game dev not unreal

pallid raven
#

There are fairly easy fixes.. as we discussed earlier, that if implemented quickly can solve a lot of the issues.

opal hazel
#

epic games cares about what disney thinks way more than all of us combine

pallid raven
#

Nah... not for me. I spent way too much investing in this...

#

gonna finish my game regardless.

#

and if that means I don't buy any more plugins then so be it.

opal hazel
pallid raven
#

Near death fallacy...

#

you only have soo much time...

#

if you keep restarting you will die. (of old age)

#

heheh

#

so no... just because the marketplace is dead, won't change how my development is going to go.

opal hazel
#

i'm trying to finish at least some of the projects with ue too but won't start a new one with it for sure

hybrid holly
pallid raven
#

Well I will certainly maintain my current relationship with the devs that I have purchased plugins with...

#

(until they leave).

#

I might have to just live with 4.27

#

maybe 5.1... depends.

#

I don't currently require or use nanite or lumen

#

so I can live with 4.27 if I have to.

hybrid holly
#

I don't see why you wouldn't take advantage of nanite

#

it's just doing all the hard work of lods for you

pallid raven
#

It's rather heavy... on my system... also I dev on server 2019

#

and they added a bug that prevents me from using it lately.

tough crag
#

wont nanite increase final game size though?

#

I read that somewhere

pallid raven
#

also, its really poor for low thruput harddrives

hybrid holly
#

I believe nanite can reduce file sizes in some cases

pallid raven
#

Nanite is a massive data hog... on disk.

#

it has to parse all that data to present it to the system

#

so you need a fast hard drive.

#

but you are correct, if the use of nanite is very limited, you would be ok

tough crag
#

this is what I read about it

hybrid holly
#

Seeing the price of good quality ssds continues to go down I don't really see the problem with that

pallid raven
#

right... in maybe 2 or 3 years.. I think it will be ok.

#

Its hard to predict...

tough crag
#

ah good to know then

pallid raven
#

Guys... I have Valley of the Ancient... and it is HUGE...

#

have any of you cooked it?

tough crag
#

I didn't test it out myself, just read that about it

scarlet mountain
pallid raven
#

how big was it?

fleet garnet
#

The convo is getting a bit off topic for this channel, lets continue either in #nanite or #ue5-general

pallid raven
#

right apologies.

#

back on topic... I am praying that Epic... hears us. and fixes the Q/A... before any more damage occurs.

#

PLEASE O PLEASE EPIC GODS!!!!

red quarry
#

The number of customers is mute; marketplace isn’t an income stream it’s a charity for new users, users who may not even know that those sections even existed. Even if customers leave new ones will replace those.

#

This goes with under estimating the value. I’d they believed this system was in a bad state and under valued removing would certainly be acceptable to the business.

#

They may turn it back on, it hasn’t been very long since it was deactivated. Give them time to evaluate.

pallid raven
#

you at least give me some hope there... hehe

red quarry
#

The cost of running a server is expensive. My bot costs me personally 100$ a month and I have no income keeping it a float.

If epic hasn’t slated servers and bandwidth for the marketplace in their budget the onslaught of requests from crawls (such as myself!) may not be valuable to the company.

pallid raven
#

O... its a billion dollar company tho... surely they knew that the Marketplace would need a server.

#

The alternative... would simply be to force login.

#

you only get access to the info if you login.

#

if you abuse the server, you get cut off...

#

Maybe I am thinking too simplistically?

red quarry
#

As an engineer involved in day to day, budgeting, and IT costs I can assure you that if a budget was created and there is over spending in that budget regardless of the valuation of the company im having an uncomfortable conversation.

red quarry
scarlet mountain
#

Honestly, there's nothing to go on at the moment. There is no official indication that i'm aware of for why this decision was made. Most productive thing that can be done right now is CONSTRUCTIVELY voice your frustration and ask for solutions in the forums

red quarry
#

Yeah agreed. I was asked to speculate so I did. But it’s all speculation.

pallid raven
#

Well, I know that the FTC thing hurt...

#

but there;s got to be better ways to save money than to crush the devs...

#

Personally, I would be willing to pay $5.00 per month without any hesitation to have safe fair access to the marketplace and the forums.

#

maybe "free" should turn back to subscription

red quarry
#

Elon musk has entered the chat

pallid raven
#

LOL

#

seriously I would...

#

Obviously you would too...

#

because you are using a lot of your time to make that server run

#

(and money)

red quarry
#

This might be the push I needed to decommission the bot ¯_(ツ)_/¯

pallid raven
#

hehehe

#

well... it would be better to make them pay $5..00 if they want to crawl...

#

at least it would cover the server

scarlet mountain
pallid raven
#

right?

#

but if they kill the Marketplace...

scarlet mountain
#

why would i pay to access a marketplace and then still hand over a percentage, as a customer OR a seller?

pallid raven
#

then.. ? its not gonna get any income

#

I probably should rephrase... $5.00 subscription/mo to unreal engine...everything.

scarlet mountain
pallid raven
#

yea basically.

#

honestly. it was better in some ways back then

scarlet mountain
#

but honestly, i'm not sure how that fundamentally change the equation

#

it was somwhere there

pallid raven
#

if it improves the server by decreasing the load from crawlers...

#

and (assuming that is one of the reasons this is happening)

scarlet mountain
pallid raven
#

it was one of the 4 reasons or 5 reasons listed earlier

#

right .. speculatively

scarlet mountain
pallid raven
#

so, specullatively. if that is a valid reason.. then a reasonable solution would be a small subscription fee per month

#

(I don't necessarily agree with the reasons... if you read my earlier replies)

scarlet mountain
pallid raven
#

There is a general difference...

scarlet mountain
#

so, being unprofitable due to crawlers is also speculation

pallid raven
#

By requiring Everyone to pay... crawlers cannot login without paying

#

whereas, increase in marketplace % offloads the payment onto legit customers

scarlet mountain
#

It also serves as a barrier to new customers, so turnover from sales for everyone, including the marketplace, goes down. For a speculative problem

#

Ofcourse 😄 i was illustrating a point though

#

I'm sure steam, the ios appstore, and every other store in existence deals with crawlers

pallid raven
#

I dont know... my guess (and I am only guessing)... but my guess is that new purchases from the marketplace have dropped 85 to 90%

red quarry
#

I imagine they’ve increased

pallid raven
#

?

red quarry
#

Imagine the niche creator with a bunch of questions that at one point made people not want to purchase.

pallid raven
#

LOL! HAHEHAHEAHA

red quarry
#

I’d be willing to bet that’s a common occurrence.

pallid raven
#

omg that;s hilarious

red quarry
#

I’ve not purchased a number of assets due to the QA.

pallid raven
#

so... there's so many of these "niche" questionaire sellers.. that by blocking the Q./A. we now have more purchases???

#

LOL!!!

#

Are you sure you are not wanting to sell a piece of land you own too?

#

maybe stock in the Bot...?

red quarry
#

I have walked away from 5 autolandscape materials because of the q/a section.

#

I walked away from the nuke island pack because of a question I asked.

pallid raven
#

but thats the whole point... that you saw what you needed to see...

#

will you now really make purchase if you can't see any?

red quarry
#

Yeah and to that point now those moments WONT happen which will INCREASE sales.

pallid raven
#

well... Let me ask my Sellers

red quarry
#

If I’m new and didn’t know the section existed, yeah.

pallid raven
#

and we will see.

red quarry
#

You aren’t thinking about this from an experience other than your own personal experience. There are a number of new customers daily accessing the store and if they don’t know where or what to ask they may just buy those 4-12$ assets because they think that even if it is bad it’s not much of a loss.

scarlet mountain
#

I maintain that the marketplace offers INSANE value to business. Even the most expensive asset on the marketplace works out at just a few hours of a western artists time

red quarry
#

Where as if there’s a literal Q/A that has many people questioning and not pleased the new comer may be deterred from purchasing.

scarlet mountain
#

if theres nothing to "scare" them off like a dodgy QA section, then it's not exactly a risky purchase

#

I reckon there's 2 sides to the marketplace, theres the hobbyist buyers, and then theres the business buyers. The business buyers won't care about the QA section going missing

pallid raven
#

You make valid points.. but I don't agree... my guess would be that the great majority of people making purchases are matured owners having been in the "game" for at least 3 months or more.

#

I am a business buyer... and its huge for me.

#

I do totally agree that the marketplace is a huge value to business.

#

but, I don't think many customers are "new"...

red quarry
#

To that point they plan to release in “a few months” the mature 3 month buyer, 3 months from now, won’t know that the QA section existed.

pallid raven
#

Define new? less than 3 months?

#

I don't need a strict def... just your opinion.

red quarry
pallid raven
#

compared to the 60,000 purchases...

scarlet mountain
pallid raven
#

I would say its trivial

red quarry
#

New to me is specifically experience and not time.

#

Even a person who’s had 2 minutes in unreal can have had experience enough with other platforms to know to not purchase. I’m talking about people who do not have the experience needed to assess the value of a product.

pallid raven
#

do you have the ability to get data on purchases?

red quarry
#

Not particularly sadly

pallid raven
#

oh well.

#

Would be super interesting to see "total purchases" today, yesterday... etc

red quarry
#

“Can have had” that’s not correct English right?

#

My brain definitely short circuited on that

#

How do I word?

pallid raven
#

yea...

scarlet mountain
#

or could have enough

pallid raven
#

"Even a person who’s had 2 minutes in unreal can have (enough) experience (____) with other platforms to know to not purchase. I’m talking about people who do not have the experience needed to assess the value of a product.

red quarry
pallid raven
#

heh

red quarry
#

What a great way to completely destroy any respect I may have had have had have had..oh no it’s happening again.

pallid raven
#

Well, I have asked around...

#

and later today/tomorrow... however u look at it...
I will hopefully get some responses about sales.

#

I will be totally amazed if sales are actually better.

scarlet mountain
#

it's just noise atm

pallid raven
#

(I did do a purchase from a known publisher because I wanted to make sure they had a purchase tho)

scarlet mountain
#

need to give it another week or 2 (or more) for meaningful trend imo

pallid raven
#

yea... but lets say the average is 100 sales... and all the sudden it goes to 500 for next 3 days...

#

I would say that is a trend

#

anyway.. we will see.

scarlet mountain
#

that could be a company buying 500 licenses, that could be being featured on a YT video. It could easily be a blip

pallid raven
#

OH...

#

that reminds me

#

that "500 licenses" thing is very poorly explained in the Marketplace.

#

as far as I am reading it... when I purchase a license... it is valid for my team.

#

It would be very helpful to get some real understanding about that.

scarlet mountain
pallid raven
#

yes.

#

and I am the business.

scarlet mountain
#

code plugins, however, are unclear, and seems to be optionally licensed as per seat or "same as other assets"

pallid raven
#

so, I am in the clear.. per your explanation.

scarlet mountain
#

i tend to treat them as per seat regardless

scarlet mountain
pallid raven
#

understood...

#

so, I think that would be another area where a Company like mine...

#

could "generate" valid hashcodes for purchases

#

and they add "members"...

#

you get sooo many members... etc...

#

I think the lack of a formal hard explanation of this policy is part of the piracy issue

ember hill
#

I'd say the problem is in lack of tiered pricing options to begin with

scarlet mountain
#

No, i think it's pretty clear that an employee can't take an asset home and work on a custom project, and you can't share it on forums. It's fairly hard to break the asset license if the business buys the asset

ember hill
#

Also facilitating volume licensing

pallid raven
#

tiered ? how would you tier it?

scarlet mountain
pallid raven
#

OOoo

#

actually that isn't a bad idea.

ember hill
#

I think Unity Asset Store has it

#

Though Unity devs are super dependant on asset store anyway, so Unity had to make it better

Editing with proper info updated
Out of the 68 160 reviews there are, 3 857 of them has a discord id in it
Out of the 3 857 reviews with a discord id, 3 624 of them were 5 stars

So someone asked a question on my plugin just before they removed all of this. Now I keep getting an email saying I have an unanswered question 🤦‍♂️

Lol

Not really a speculation when it's a known thing that was happening

thorny compass
#

Reviews being 💩 - who would have guessed 🤔

grizzled thunder
fleet garnet
#

(btw not saying those numbers prove anything but I find it at least a bit suspicious)

opal hazel
fleet garnet
#

I said I was happy the reviews are gone because they were being abused and I didn't see anyone claiming that was the reason, at least not here

opal hazel
#

people were speculating that being the reason why they removed it

thorny compass
#

Sounds like speculation

grizzled thunder
#

Yeah, that's only 6% of reviews contained discord ID's, hardly rampant

cedar panther
grizzled thunder
#

So yeah, for those 80 products it would make a difference

cedar panther
#

so those 80 products contributes to at least 3000 verification review. I wasnt against the idea of verifying like that before since epic didnt provide another solution but I can also understand why they removed them

#

on the other hand, its also not cool to do this without provinding that solution

fleet garnet
#

This would be a lot easier if there was API/tools for sellers to verify invoice IDs

Wouldn't require this type of verification in the first place

grizzled thunder
#

This data is via Hugo and Chris scraping from the api - they may be able to offer more insight

ornate terrace
#

Well, my reviews were fair, pretty good, collected along these years of selling, and updated, so a buyer could trigger the “add to cart” button more confidently. Now they are gone. I’m not happy.

restive gull

yeah this is rough

leaden parcel

Atleast they could have kept the questions!!

oh no apparently geniuses at epic games still sending people daily emails for unanswered questions without any way of answering them

Can i refound unreal engine assets

dreamy comet

you need good reason for it

but with no reviews and q&a it will be a shit show lol

anyway

this kind of format sells well?

Reviews and questions are back on the marketplace 🥳 !

pallid raven
#

OMG YES!

#

Thank you EPIC!

#

(And Blue Man, thank you for listening!)

ember hill
#

Still could've been handled better

tough crag
#

I dont think Blue Man is affiliated with epic 😛

ember hill
#

At least Epic could've temporarily disable the reviews in shorter amount of time, or schedule for "site" wide maintenance

pallid raven
#

Either way, I am thankful... and appreciative that we can now read Q/A.

#

( I hope it stays that way )

ember hill
#

That being said, I'm going to call out those who went mentally unhinged with personal attacks

pallid raven
#

(Moderator won't like public shaming)

ember hill
#

I know people are never 100% mature after reaching age of adulthood, but damn, some replies on the forum post is just idiotic personal attacks.

dreamy comet
#

those are gamers lol

#

what did you expect

tough crag
#

or maybe it was like that before?

pallid raven
#

I think the fact that this free pack has not been removed pretty much says everything I needed to know with respect to other people's claims re: legitimacy

ember hill
#

Though the seller somehow able to smooth talk his way to the marketplace team

tough crag
#

I dont think orbital has today's data yet

sturdy hawk
tough crag
#

yea I checked

ember hill
tough crag
#

seems like it hasn't updated yet because those were added today

ember hill
#

Also the seller made little to no attempt on transparent damage control after getting caught

pallid raven
#

Caught?

#

Did Epic sanction / penalize the seller?

#

( I guess I don't understand how this works... Many devs now own that bundle... if we USE those assets are we now infringing on someone's IP ???)

sturdy hawk
ember hill
pallid raven
#

Or does Epic and up paying the license for it?

#

Because I have not received ANY official notice that the assets are stolen.

ember hill
# pallid raven Caught?

Someone spotted the animations are stolen from Mixamo (with vague licensing) and other creator.

Epic put no publicly visible sanctions on it

#

Not that it first time happening with anim pack, or asset packs in general

pallid raven
#

So, the issue is that it is STILL there for sale (free) and there has not been any notice of anything actually stolen...

tough crag
#

seems they went and blanked them out for some reason

#

hmm I wonder if its related to what they said

UE developers, be aware: current set of free content of the month on @UnrealEngine Marketplace contains a bundle that has animations lifted from Mixamo and other UE asset developers. Here are few comparisons. I really hope Epic Games will investigate this.

#

Interesting, but I cannot consider "Twitter" a notification from Epic.

#

What I do expect, would be that the product would be removed, and I would see a notice in my email saying NOT to use the product.

#

And I have not received that.

ember hill
pallid raven
#

right now, its an "accusation".

ember hill
#

ngl it's kinda infuriating as an animator to see someone invalidating the evidences

#

I guess only animators can relate

pallid raven
#

Hmm... it needs to be investigated.

#

I will say that... if you make a crawl animation on the unreal skel... it will be similar to 100 other versions of people doing the same thing.

ember hill
#

I know it's hearsay, judge, but the visual evidence is there, and I, as an animator making my own animations by hand, saw the evidence and infuriated by court decision to invalidate it.

pallid raven
#

so I think it remains to be seen if it is "the same"

#

(I hadn't seen the video... let me look)

ember hill
#

That's it, I'm out of this convo
I don't want to get more frustrated by this

pallid raven
#

yea, looks the same to me.

#

But again... my point was that the product is STILL there and I have not received a notification from Epic.

#

These things often take time to review...on an official capacity... and I don't think I have ever received a notification of a product from Epic before to not use it.

#

(cant remember having received such notification )

#

But, now that I have seen this ... I will dump that free asset from my computer

#

Thanks for pointing it out.

ember hill
#

Because Epic ain't doing stuff with it
Last time there is a case of stolen anim pack, it's the same thing.
Another asset pack stealing from commercial game, nothing has been done with it.

And to invalidate them just because Epic said nothing on the matter? NotLikeKotoha

pallid raven
#

Well, wouldn't Epic have a Legal Duty ?

#

I can't be checking "twitter" forums for accusations... I just got lucky to see this one.

ember hill
pallid raven
#

I don't understand...

#

what is null?

ember hill
#

It's getting too infuriating to me

pallid raven
#

calm down.... I understand it is frustrating... but I don't understand what you are saying ... what is null and void?

#

All I am saying is that since Epic is aware of it... wouldn't Epic have a legal duty to remove the content?

#

Has anyone actually NOTIFIED Epic?

#

Like... thru a support channel?

#

When I found out that the Marketplace Q/A was down... the first thing I did was file a support channel report.

#

Do we know that ANYONE actually filed a marketplace complaint to Epic officially?

#

Apparently this fellow on Twitter also filed a marketplace report: (See the twitter link above)... so they have been officially notified.

#

Basically, they replied that "The Content Owner" needs to file a report of Stolen or Copyrighted content.

He has a legitimate issue...

So I understand his frustration... but it took time for me to investigate since he was too frustrated to explain it.

it is truely horrible

#

but oddly enough

#

epic reviews are back...

pallid raven
#

yes!

lucid osprey
#

a bit buggy tho 😄

pallid raven
#

( I saw )

#

Still.. having Q/A is... a blessing.

#

That was really the most important personally for me.

lucid osprey
#

yaa

#

being able to see how other customers faired with an asset

#

insanely important

#

it always played a big part in buying anything

#

not having the reviews and questions would actually prevent me from buying things

#

ALOT

pallid raven
#

Crazy... I just got an email from Marketplace Support... referencing my report and saying Reviews and Q/A are now restored.

#

(sigh of relief)

dreamy comet
#

how about leaving bad reviews on purpose to get refund lol

#

i guess it was part of why they wanted to remove them too

#

mostly it was on very expensive assets

vapid ridge
#

To fix the marketplace reviewing issue all Epic has to do is make a panel for people who are verified as a owner, so the dev is not telling them to comment their discord in the comments section.

thorny compass
pallid raven
#

Its bugged... with ------- lines

#

like missing info or something

thorny compass
#

Seems they returned back the Reviews - with some bugs 🙂

#

Nothing happened, just a few days of blackout.

#

fufu

pliant forum
#

Reviews with "-------" isn't bugs, it's when someone with a previous review tried to update their review again during these past few days, since no comments could be left, it updated their old ones with "-------"

pallid raven
#

same difference to me... the inability to change a comment is a bug if one cannot do it.

#

but, I do appreciate knowing the more concrete version of why.

pallid raven

It was good to have people to vent about this... but I had hoped it would reach someone over at Epic.

I did make an official support request... and thankfully they replied.

Why is Epic allowing asset creators to make a folder named "Source" alongside "Content" and placing .FBX files in it??? Source is where code goes, it absolutely pollutes projects. What a ridiculous thing to permit. Feel bad for anyone who just made a new project or doesn't have source control setup (new devs) that have to go through and fix everything after these creators ruin it.

delicate dove
#

I dont think either the creators or the mp-team considered that.
Though, they should be inside content/pack-name/ and not anywhere else.

lucid osprey
#

and when you add them they will overwrite your project files

not clean

Of course with source control you can easily fix it, but if its a new project and you haven't set it up, what a pain

I think you can upload asset versions for older engines, but code plugins are 4.27 up

Can you tell me a couple of these that do it... Would love if it was a free asset or was a free asset during one of the last montly free things, but would purchase if it is in-expensive just to see its structure and have some "test" plugins. 🙂 I'd like to see exactly what they do, so I can add some safety checks in my Launcher during install to keep "bad" stuff from happening. There is nothing stopping my launcher from redirecting "Source" to "Source-PluginName" or "Source/PluginName" or detect that it only has .FBX files, and either ignore it or redirect it to "Content/PluginName-SourceFBX/"

# scarlet mountain "my launcher"? Are you working on a better launcher? Oh man. Keep us informed!

Haven't really advertised it very much, a tweet here and their with progress screen shots... Finally released the Linux version of it about week or so ago, and a minor update a couple days ago to add the Q&A feature. Currently activated in the release version is Projects, Engines and installation of Assets (so this subject interests me greatly if there is "faulty" assets as I can easily code around them if I understand the issues... 😉 A couple days ago during the Epic shutdown of the Q&A, I also added to my launcher the ability to download the Q&A for any assets you own (was the minor update). So you could click on the asset and see any answered Q&A (it auto filter out any Q's without A's. ;-D ) . Didn't expect Epic to undo this change when I spent the time coding it, but anyway it is still a nice "optional" feature that I probably won't bother to remove... 😉

A ton of other features are already mostly coded, but not yet ready to release... 😉 Windows (and then Mac) to arrive when I have spare time to fix the issues I found on those platforms during my release candidate testing... 😉

Basically it should fully replace the epic launcher when totally completed. Already does multiple things better, like ability to install code plugins into projects or the engine. And lightning quick filtered views, and fairly comprehensive CLI support... 🙂

I dropped it into Community-Creations/Project-Launches since I did release it a week or so ago... 😉

For humans, if static you can use the free packs from TwinMotion. If rigged, there's the VR4D pack (using MetaHuman), once (if) they manage to get it back up. Or the (free) sample from the Matrix demo. For UE4 skeleton, there's the Citizen NPC pack from Polyphoria.

# tawny hinge https://github.com/AchetaGames/Epic-Asset-Manager also exists, and can be build ...

I found that one (about a month ago, from this discord) long after I started my own launcher -- I actually did debate stopping development on mine and helping work on that one since it was already established and working, but a couple reasons I decided not to was:

  1. It is massively memory & CPU in-efficient. I'm not doing anything in this picture (just launched it a few minutes before, let it settle) and its in the background and the activity viewer is in the foreground and you can still see its eating almost 6 CPU cores and 5 gigs of memory usage. This would require some work (imho) to fix both issues. I looked at the source and didn't see anything obvious (it is well written) what would be causing it... I love debugging, so I was very tempted.... 😄
  2. I was already almost done with my launcher, mainly just tying together pieces that I had already built or fixed.
  3. I had already implemented full CLI support. This feature was important to me, and hard to say if that author would be interested in adding a whole new area of features (some authors are rightfully very picky about PR's, especially when they expand the scope massively and they have no idea if the PR person would stick around to maintain that area... I know I would be leary of massive PR's adding a lot of new code to my launcher)
  4. I already have 4 other tabs worth of features (not exposed yet in the released version) that I had in various states of working to make my life easier...
  5. Having full control over what gets added (for example when I added Q&A downloads for all owned assets) makes my life easier than having to justify any and every PR's. Some authors are LGTM, others are you need to provide 4 proofs, dance on your head and an entire test suite. 🙂

I am glad there is another maintained launcher...

I’ve been toying with an autogenerating tool I plan to release in a few months that’s a supplement of my support tool. That will auto generate documentation based on a project directory path. Run the app on your local machine, it iterates and generates markdown for the methods in the project. Then gives you an option to post directly to my support portals public link to your product OR keep the markdown to upload to your favorite hosting site, such as GitHub.

It's a 3D Carousel actor selection, now I improved it to be a Carousel Character Selection with some more features.

How many sales do you have? If it's on the low end, you might get some kudos for giving the free update. If it's a lot, obviously you're going to lose a lot kof potential income, so probably not a good idea.

On the other hand, if the new one is character specific, maybe that's not actually what the original purchasers even want...

Anyone have pricing tips for code plugins that provide BP nodes? I realize it's very subjective but I'm trying to wrap my head around who values what and how much on the marketplace. I assume designers who want to stay in BP land value plugins that expose extended engine functionality and tend to be more willing to pay more for things?

There's also the whole thing of releasing a basic and pro version at different prices. Not sure how well that strategy usually works.

Yeah all the marketplaces end up having a bit of a race to the bottom. Best to not participate in that, price where you genuinely think your product is, the value it provides for users, and the level of support you will provide.

gFur is now open source
it's free for non-commercial use

#

🙂

#

permanently lowering the price, underpricing it just to get more sales only hurts the product and it doesn't look very good.

#

be consistent, work on the project, hold the price steady, or increase it if you added a lot of stuff, don't over-participate in sales event, don't put it free for the month. this keeps it alive. assuming it's a project well done and you want to have some future for it.

#

if you don't value it, no one will

scarlet mountain
#

I don't believe the point was to keep lowering, but to start high and then come down to the right price point, rather than price too low initially and then try and come up. This advice would also allow you to adjust price to find the right price without or before you have a substantial update to add to it, and avoid under pricing in the first place

I believe that's right, contact the plugin creator perhaps you can make a fork or something. Other plugins have been adapted, changed etc by the community. ALS comes to mind, as does the 3D navigation one.

If the plugin is free, check if there's a GitHub for it. If so, you can fork it and publish yours there.

@graceful arrow @vale prawn already checked back with the owner of the plugin (or at least one of the devs) and sounded like they'd be cool with it. sadly theres no git repo for it rn thats public, so forking isnt an option sadly^^

Brief question, before I put a ton of work into something.

A lot of projects are going to model themselves after Lyra. What's the stance on marketplace plugins/projects that are based in part or in whole of the Lyra code base? Say you want to sell a plugin and you make an example project utilizing that plugin that heavily relies on the examples and plugins set therein by Lyra?

graceful arrow
#

Generally, Epic made content cannot be used other than to help demonstrate the creators content.

keen moat
#

Does that include the other plugins within Lyra such as the Modular systems?

graceful arrow
#

You'd be better off asking the Marketplace team via email.

keen moat
#

Selling a plugin that inherits classes from them, that is.

#

mmmmmmm gotcha

knotty inlet
#

So what's up with Epic and this marketplace? This is now the 3rd time I've gone though my vault to find content that is 'missing', only to find the page with removed info etc. likely because the assets themselves are stolen in some capacity, and I am not automatically issued a refund for these products, considering they are now rendered useless?

if they are removed due to being ripped or whatever then oddly (and imho stupidly) no, you wont be refunded unless you contact them and ask for a refund.

Hey, Why are there so many fake reviews on the marketplace? It is really hard to find if a product is good or if people are just trying to get access to a discord for support. Are questions not good enough for that?
It seems like Epic should add some way to link discord to our accounts so when we purchase packs the author can see our Epic name and Discord so if we join their server they already have our info.

I know I've had my own share of customers who give nasty reviews because they either didn't read the documentation, at all, or they blame you and your product for something that is entirely out of your control or has nothing to do with your plugin.

Sigh, I wish epic would have a refund and ban policy/function in place cause it's not worth it.

Luckily most of my other customers came through for me.
It's also smart to have a fallback marketplace, like your own site, especially if you're looking for a steadier stream of income.

It is very obviously a scam and there is a high chance that a lot more people that are selling something on the marketplace received the same (no actual naming of me or my product in the mail). I'd like to report it but have no idea where to do this. Anyone any idea where I can do that?

Does anyone here know the correct way of submitting a blueprint-only plugin to the Market place? I can't find any information on how to do it and every submission has been rejected. I tried the category of Code plugin but because there was no C++ it was rejected so I tried as Blueprint category, also rejected saying the asset pack couldn't be submitted because it contained a Plugin. Which is the part I'm trying to sell. I'm pretty confused.

#

So any help would be fantastic.

#

Should I just add a single C++ class and compile that with the plugin? Would that be the best solution?

hasty nexus
#

I think the best would be to reply to the rejection email and ask them this so you won't waste your time.

#

if you add an empty class they might just reject it for "not enough content"

#

i don't think the blueprint-only plugin is the solution for you. I think you just need to create a normal asset pack with blueprint libraries and push that

#

but again, better would be to reply to that email and ask them directly so you won't have to waste time waiting for approval/rejection again

shrewd fable
hasty nexus
#

you can create an asset pack with blueprint libraries and people will be able to add to existing projects

#

there are two types of blueprint submissions, packs and projects. the project requires users to build on top of your distributed project, and the pack they can add to their projects

I don't get your point but it's fine, we don't have to share the same opinion.

that's why I told him, check to see how much would it cost you to make it yourself, and see if its worth it

#

i don't even care 😄

thorny compass
#

Oh, cmon, most simple search on internet will tell you a ton of information how a price is formed.
Let me light up - it is not how much it will cost you to do it yourself. Like that, pretty small part of it.

hasty nexus
#

there are more affordable alternatives for mostly everything in the world. so everyone picks what they can afford or what they're willing to buy

#

apparently that publisher picked the correct price, people are interested in the product and are leaving feedback. so something is fine there

#

it's either you're willing to pay the price or not. you don't go in the gucci store complaining the prices are too high. you just move along if it's out of your price range. easy as that

thorny compass
#

Definitely. Seller can set up whatever price, if it works for them - whatever.
My comment it was about simplifying/ending with just "the cost to do it yourself".

hasty nexus
#

still to me that's a fair thing to consider

#

especially when you're on a tight budget

thorny compass
#

For your personal case, maybe.
I would say that there are things like spending the time to understand, integrate and probably modify a bought system 🤷‍♂️

#

And sometimes, even ditching it later 🙂

hasty nexus
#

in the end, it's up to everyone to decide what's best for them and their wallets

#

but that product looks very complex, so I'd assume it took several months to develop, take a medium salary of a C++ unreal engine developer for that amount of time and also take into consideration that you have to test it, and now think if its worth it. Now from the publisher perspective: he has to offer support(bug fixes, updates, new features docs etc) and also make profit out of it, make it worth the trouble to publish it. It's not a big price, especially if you buy it for a project that you're supposed to sell and make profit. There are cheaper alternatives of course and everyone needs to do their due diligence and find their best fit for their projects.

#

that's how i see it

hasty nexus
#

the fact is, when I see a cheap product I think twice before purchase, because there's no incentive for that developer to offer long-term continuity, and you end up next engine version with an abandoned plugin implemented in your project.

#

I know because I abandoned myself several projects.

Question on using Starter Content in a Marketplace pack you're selling.

If you use some of the built in Starter Content textures... say concrete to make your "demo level"... I'm wondering how to set them up properly. We can't ensure that the purchaser has included Starter Content in their project. And if we point to some of that stuff... we don't want them to download it with "broken connections". Do we:
A) Make a copy of that concrete material, and it's material and put it into the folder of our pack? So that there will be no dependancy problems?
B) Let the whole "Starter Content" folder exist in our pack... so that when they download our pack... the starter content comes with?
C) Just let it download with a broken connection... if the user doesn't have Starter Content.

edit:

https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/can-you-use-starter-content-and-included-gamemodes-in-market-place-submission/320450
It looks like the answer is...
Use the starter content, include it in your submission. But just nuke all the other Starter Content stuff you didn't use.

Question on version updates.... We published a pack for v 4.25 and 5.0.2. Now that 5.1 is out... I tested the 5.0.2 project in 5.1... and it converts with no errors.

We've got some questions on our pack, asking when the 5.1 pack will be ready.

I'm not sure what next steps are. Do I:

A) Just upload the converted pack, and flag it as the 5.1.1 version?
B) Is there a way to flag the 5.0.2 version as supporting 5.1?

Any advice on best practices for getting the pack to be 5.1 supportive on the marketplace?

That's the name of the product on the marketplace, not the name of the assets that are submitted. That name is completely separate and only listed on the marketplace.

The launcher does try to use that name when you are trying to use one of the "create project" asset types, but the launcher complains and asks you to correct the name before it creates the project, no big deal.

Again that won't affect plugins or just normal assets

#

So yes, the assets you submit should follow naming best practices

#

But do what you want with the name on the product page

What are the publishing rules regarding using assets from another marketplace asset in my own creation?

I’m planning on releasing a city-builder game template on the marketplace and wanted to make use of the free asset this month (the poly town) for the meshes that came with the template

Hey, i am the guy who made this.
I use the Anime Character and Guts Great Sword (Commercial Free) for Showcase (Thumbnail).
The Character is not in the Project.
And i bought this Character with a Commercial Use License (but only for showcasing).
https://booth.pm/en/items/3794116
Thought that would be ok because many Seller use good Character for Showcasing or other Animations Packs. And my Asset is about Bluerpints not Character or Animation.

And i didnt know that the Character is one from a Video Game.
I will ask Epic Games about it if its ok if you have a commercial license (for the thumbnails) but after the review it seems all ok.

Otherwise i will remove the Thumbnails with the Character and take the second Character that i did myself with VROID.
Hope this helps 🙂

Well, I'm not sure what the marketplace requirements are, but if you want to include files from a plugin, you need to add the module to your build.cs and then just include them as if they were normal files.

If the marketplace requires you to be more specific, I don't know.

Hi, Everyone , I am Reporting concerning My Marketplace Asset that was reviewed falsely I recently submitted my asset “Sci-fi Arsenal Vol 3.1” to the marketplace for review and it was flagged for “changes Needed” I have done everything they have requested but they still want me to remove an asset in the pack that they feel is unusable which I verified it was not true. Just because I exempted the bow from having a blueprint class does not mean it is entirely useless I did that because it was having programming bugs as he/she Indicated. so to avoid further complexity I decided to remove the blueprint class for the bow since I don’t really know the intent of use by the customer. This same bow still has an Animation blueprint, SFX, Textures, Material, Skeletal Mesh, and Control rig which the customer can still use for the development of their games. Please This is not fair at all, The Reviewer wrote I should completely remove the bow and everything related to the bow. I have done every correction he/she said I should do now he/she is saying I should remove an asset completely. Why?. This is a deliberate attempt to devalue my pack. whereas it has so many features in it. Am I being targeted or what is the reason for such frustration?

Please guys can you look at this issue and please help me with a way out. Thanks a lot
I am trying to see how can escalate this to a higher authority in the Unreal Marketplace Team.

Not sure anyone here can help, as it's not an official Epic discord. Sometimes these things happen due to misunderstanding the product etc. No idea how busy the MP team is either, so it could just be a case of waiting for a reply.

Hey guys, so recently ive been having a pretty big problem in my game. My game is 180 mb, and audio (mostly music), takes up a good 126 mb of this, even tho i imported them each as ogg files that amounted to about 14 mb. I believe this is likely because unreal accepts these uncompressed editing format files. I was wondering if there was a plugin out there that allows me to use delivery formats, such as mp3, which are smaller, but I havent been able to find one. Anyone know of something that can help me?

I would guess it is. On more recent engines the smallest you can get a project with no content to build is 100-150mb

#

so +50 indicates to me it's shrinking those sounds by atleast 50mb
