that benefits me, my workflow, speed of realizing stuff

#

i dont want to spend 100+ for something that will look the same in someone elses game

vapid tundra Nov 18, 2016, 1:32 PM

#

well. maybe except animations. but thats subjective ofc

tiny thistle Nov 18, 2016, 1:33 PM

#

animations arent that bad

#

also most environment models are pretty reusable

silver moat Nov 18, 2016, 1:34 PM

#

On the other hand 99.99% of buyers don't end up making a product with the purchased content.

tiny thistle Nov 18, 2016, 1:34 PM

#

yup

#

so it makes you ask yourself as a buyer

#

do i really need it?

#

do i need 50+ $ worth of character model which looks grat buti cant use it in final game

#

and only need it to save time while prototyping

#

as for me i would buy something regardless of use

silver moat Nov 18, 2016, 1:35 PM

#

Logically you'd not need such things from marketplace.

tiny thistle Nov 18, 2016, 1:35 PM

#

if it looks nice, if i can learn something from its style etc

silver moat Nov 18, 2016, 1:35 PM

But sales stats say otherwise.

tiny thistle Nov 18, 2016, 1:36 PM

hmm for prototyping i usally dont need content thats on the MP.

😄

silver moat Nov 18, 2016, 1:36 PM

#

I think I've had about 700 sales on AL1 yet I haven't seen 1 finished product using it.

#

So probably people don't ask themselves if they need it or not?

Or they don't really think if their product will have similarities with others.

tiny thistle Nov 18, 2016, 1:37 PM

#

i liked your landscapes

#

and it crossed my mind few times to buy them

#

mostly to learn something from them - how you made materials and such stuff

#

cos i can make my own heightmaps and such

#

but something else always jumps in with higher priority XD

vapid tundra Nov 18, 2016, 1:38 PM

i think the truth is a lot of current UE user wont finish their project or not even having a real project ... they just tinkering around.

It was launched with 5 landscapes.

#

I did the rest for free as updates.

#

And I'm dead tired. 😃

#

@silver moat - since youre releasing those terrain

#

how about

#

some assets for "dressing up your custom made landscape"

silver moat Nov 18, 2016, 1:47 PM

#

I'm actually doing that for AL2

tiny thistle Nov 18, 2016, 1:47 PM

#

or your landscapes are already having that option

#

thats a point you should advertise

#

maybe even make a short tutorial video

This is for example the grass variations that come with the landscape pack.

Should we be continuing to put the supported engine versions in our Asset descriptions? I notice it's a main part next to the download button, and since I got my kit updated to 4.14 it's updated there and not in my description.

Is there a place to see some public/private sales metrics of the marketplace to know things like sales volume to decide if the investment is worth it for you? Like a partnership program or something?

delicate dove Nov 19, 2016, 5:54 PM

#

there was a thread about it, but things changed so much since its useless

wind jungle Nov 19, 2016, 6:00 PM

So basically Epic doesn't offer any metric to its sellers? You are expected to do your own research in the community?

but it got kinda messed up after last update

It would be really nice to know total volume of sales per category.

For me the biggest issue is the lack of control that creators have over prices and updates. This really makes the marketplace come off as hulking and inflexible. Hopefully this kind of flexibility and control can be implemented sooner

suggestion is for the UE4 Marketplace to offer add-on support for their pricing model which would allow content creators to charge an additional price for v2.xx releases of asset + plugin packs, spliting up plugins into core / sample (free) and add-ons (paid), etc

supple moon Nov 21, 2016, 10:45 PM

#

should help with clutter on the marketplace too which could be a plus i.e. fewer packs like plants volume 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. when you could offer as the core product some stand sets of plants than perhaps as add-ons season based plants or more species

rare lynx Nov 21, 2016, 11:02 PM

#

The only thing I'd say is that if they're similarly priced it'd be strange to market them as add-ons. If there is equatable content then it should be considered a stand alone product. Personally I like content like this. Specifically because it lets me know as a potential buyer that the developer isn't just doing one and calling it a day.

Now if you're talking about expansion add-ons that fit within the theme of the original pack and aren't equatable in size to a full product then I'd agree, that would be a good feature to have.

supple moon Nov 21, 2016, 11:08 PM

#

@rare lynx yep that is exactly what I'm saying

#

for asset packs such as 3D models, game samples, environments, etc it could be easy to implement as you could just offer to the content creators a sub-folder to upload that content if the assets were offered within the pack in their own sub folder and/or level

for plugins it would be a bit more tricky and would probably require a API to hook into and require the content creator to either include everything including add-ons within the same binary build files but just have them locked off as a DLC type situation

but in some cases that probably won't work if the content creator wishes to keep overall file sizes low in which case a plugin sub-module system similar to the DLC system might be needed

#

cinder cobalt Nov 21, 2016, 11:13 PM

#

I'd like to see more sample stuff, like the 6$ zombie animation pack that is a subset of the full pack.

supple moon Nov 21, 2016, 11:13 PM

#

oh another great example is a environment pack (day time) which offers a add-on for a night time environment for say an additional $5 or something

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

another great example would be IronBelly (@unique whale) bundle packs including a core product with single weapon per add-on setups

or a way to detect if you already own say 1-2 weapons out of a 5 weapon pack and perhaps providing an automatic discount for that pack?

rare lynx Nov 21, 2016, 11:16 PM

#

discounts for repeat buyers is something I've been wanting for a VERY long time.

supple moon Nov 21, 2016, 11:17 PM

#

honestly it is a shame with how slow the overall process is to get new features in

#

considering Epic Games takes what 30% from each sale?

rare lynx Nov 21, 2016, 11:19 PM

#

Yeah, that's how a lot of sellers feel

#

Are you a marketplace seller btw?

supple moon Nov 21, 2016, 11:22 PM

#

not currently no

#

mainly been on the side-lines waiting to see how the UE4 Marketplace grows

#

also most of our products are tied to plugins which is a pain

#

should hopefully have 2 out the door very soon

#

it is a pain though that the products are mainly done though yet UE4's Marketplace is lacking in quite a few features we need

#

meaning we have to build them ourselves which takes extra time

rare lynx Nov 21, 2016, 11:24 PM

#

Yeah that's something we talk about a lot lol

supple moon Nov 21, 2016, 11:25 PM

#

currently we have ODIN Tracker (20%+ done) and Developer Debug Gun (90%+ done) ready to ship soon

#

part of the issue with ODIN Tracker is it is a very large project with many moving parts

#

and we wish to start selling it while it is in Alpha

rare lynx Nov 21, 2016, 11:26 PM

#

Pre orders/early access would be a useful feature for some projects

supple moon Nov 21, 2016, 11:26 PM

#

the ODIN:Capture module will cost $15 USD at release and that is the only module we will be releasing as part of v0.2 / v0.3

#

combined price of all modules is $75 USD

#

the issue is when someone buys a product on the UE4 Marketplace they own the product + all updates tied to it

#

and we would rather not split up each module into its own plugin as it isn't really built to handle that well

#

our plans are to release ODIN:Core for free which will act as the foundation for all the paid add-ons

rare lynx Nov 21, 2016, 11:29 PM

#

Personally I haven't charged for updates, but I know many sellers increase the price of the product when they release one. Having a price gateway for updates could be useful to some devs though.

supple moon Nov 21, 2016, 11:30 PM

#

yeah while that is good for general smaller updates it won't work really in our case

#

since people who bought it early still have future updates on the house

#

not the best if your end pirce for a v1.0 release is $75 USD yet most of your customers paid only $15 USD

#

this thread post makes a good point:

https://forums.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?85555-How-many-people-typically-buy-marketplace-items&p=422193&viewfull=1#post422193

and my suggestions above + on the UEM suggestions forum thread I believe would help with that

as at the end of the day,
while prices I personally think are quite low on the UEM, people on a very tight budget would definitively benefit from an add-on + discounts for repeat buys system

which in turn should see content creators profit margins and overall exposure increase for their products

I am thinking of submitting a blueprint project i'm working on for 5 or 10 dollars and was wondering if anyone who has something on the marketplace would be willing to share an approximation of how many people bought their assets.
Thanks!

#

although none of that is any use until a proper tagging, sorting, etc system is put in place...

because at the end of the day no one is going to start clustering a lot of their packs into collections and thus decreasing their overall content count i.e. exposure on the UEM UNTIL they know for a fact that their content is more discoverable by default

#

@quartz acorn I figured I'd tag you as you may want to weigh in on this discussion as well

rare lynx Nov 22, 2016, 12:23 AM

#

Yeah I hear you on that. There should definitely be more options to accommodate each sellers style of service.

supple moon Nov 22, 2016, 1:09 AM

#

I've created a follow-up post regarding:

To add to my above suggestions,
It would also be awesome if the Sales Portal for UE4 Marketplace products also included:

1. Download data for sample packs

2. Product comment notification center

3. Cross-product metrics for sales, up/down votes, comments, etc

4. Integrations with accounting software i.e. MYOB, Intuit Quickbooks, Xero Accounting, etc. (CVS export is provided so a manual import is available but having an automated option available would be ideal)

There's a lot of plugins showing up on the marketplace that don't actually need to be plugins, as they can easily be implemented in Blueprints.
I think that Epic should motivate developers to publish Blueprints as much as possible.

What do you guys think?

elfin plinth Nov 22, 2016, 11:03 AM

#

I think people were pretty pissed off for the first year when there were only blueprint code on marketplace

#

some people, like me, prefer c++ versions of things

#

it's also what marketplace content creators make, it doesn't mean that there couldn't be similar blueprint and code plugins there

#

if there's not, it just means people have not done it

twin totem Nov 22, 2016, 11:07 AM

#

I see what you're saying. My only problem is that if I choose to use a lot of stuff from the marketplace, it becomes difficult to manage all the plugins. Plus, there are some developers that do not give access to the code, so if you want to make a change, you're at the merci of the developer. Blueprints are "open code".

elfin plinth Nov 22, 2016, 11:07 AM

#

I also personally think that game asset markeplaces like unreals should be more "free", they are already controlled too much by epic

#

if there's a demand for certain type of assets, then that kind of assets sell

#

you can't just cater one audience and neglect the others

#

Epic already does this on official docs btw

#

blueprint api is fairly well documented, where c++ side isn't

#

but yeah, also, I don't approve closed source code on these kind of things

#

the asset has to be something spectacular for that

#

and even then it's unlikely that I'd buy that thing as a customer

twin totem Nov 22, 2016, 11:12 AM

#

The absence of documentation for C++ its maybe due to the fact that they want developers to use Blueprints. But in general, there are some big holes in the documentation. They are happy with just doing video tutorials.

#

I just worry that everyone will start using plugins even for the smallest of things, like implementing a homing missile.

elfin plinth Nov 22, 2016, 11:14 AM

#

depending on implementation, that could get really heavy on blueprints too

#

I wouldn't worry about that code plugins taking over

#

majority of new code stuff seems to still be blueprint based

#

I get that people have preferences, for example I have very good reasons why I don't want any additional BP code to my projects unless it's necessary

#

I still get that many people prefer blueprints, some don't even have code environment installed with ue4

#

but I don't get any intentional attempt to favor either language on ue4

#

it should be up to content providers to do what they want to do and sell

modern perch Nov 22, 2016, 11:17 AM

#

I prefer blueprint for the most part, but there are a number of plugins that really don't need to be plugins

#

others, for example, the runtime mesh component really need to be plugins

twin totem Nov 22, 2016, 11:18 AM

#

I think the "light" stuff should be in blueprints, and the more heavy stuff in C++/plugins.

elfin plinth Nov 22, 2016, 11:19 AM

#

that's not how all ue4 developers think though

#

some prefer either one

twin totem Nov 22, 2016, 11:19 AM

#

Of course, it wouldn't be right to force developers into anything, but some incentives wouldn't hurt.

elfin plinth Nov 22, 2016, 11:20 AM

#

I've had my share of corruptions on blueprints and all kinds of nonesense that halt my progression even since 4.0 got out

#

had no stress over that stuff since I moved mostly to c++ side

#

also, latest engine versions tend to freeze on me when I debug blueprints

#

that's just not fun at all

twin totem Nov 22, 2016, 11:22 AM

#

I see. For me it has all functionned well until now.

modern perch Nov 22, 2016, 11:23 AM

#

I've had problems with it, mostly when transitioning between versions

elfin plinth Nov 22, 2016, 11:23 AM

#

to be fair, things just breaking often is related to engine upgrades

#

yeah, exactly

modern perch Nov 22, 2016, 11:23 AM

#

Epic hasn't been handling engine transitions very well at all with regard to blueprint

elfin plinth Nov 22, 2016, 11:23 AM

#

but debugging has been pretty broken for me ever since 4.12 or 4.11

modern perch Nov 22, 2016, 11:24 AM

#

I'd never even try to debug blueprints anyway, waste of time

elfin plinth Nov 22, 2016, 11:24 AM

#

I delete intermediate and saved folders and it works again for a while, but at some stage it just seems to deadlock on debugging and on pie

modern perch Nov 22, 2016, 11:24 AM

#

static debugging seems to be much quicker

elfin plinth Nov 22, 2016, 11:24 AM

#

well, I'm used to using lots of breakpoints during my history as coder

#

I don't really see any faster alternative to it

#

but then again, IMO blueprint wiring for loops and math is slow anyway (which is why I prefer c++ there as well)

modern perch Nov 22, 2016, 11:25 AM

#

breakpoints are fine in C++, where you can see what's going on in a lot of places

oak thistle Nov 22, 2016, 11:25 AM

#

Not sure how you are able to say that they "don't need to be plugins". I mean maybe it's possible to achieve roughly the same end result via blueprints, but that doesn't mean there weren't good reasons for writing it as a plugin.

modern perch Nov 22, 2016, 11:25 AM

#

but in BP you get shit all information out of it

oak thistle Nov 22, 2016, 11:25 AM

#

For one thing, you can vastly improve editor integration with dedicated UI and things, which can't be done via BP.

elfin plinth Nov 22, 2016, 11:25 AM

#

well, not if the editor freezes on you 😄

modern perch Nov 22, 2016, 11:26 AM

#

@oak thistle - sure, but that tends to fall apart the moment the user needs to edit something

#

which in a lot of plugins on the marketplace, is something that should really be expected

#

for example the eyeballs thingy is a plugin

#

why? who knows.

elfin plinth Nov 22, 2016, 11:27 AM

#

all in all, I don't really see the need to limit certain things to blueprints and code

#

if it feels silly to buy in a plugin, don't

#

and if there's a demand for that kind of thing, someone will make blueprint version for it

True, but that comes down to good design vs bad design, not BP vs plugin. Plugins should be designed to allows users to customize stuff, without needing to actually edit the plugin code or content.

modern perch Nov 22, 2016, 11:28 AM

#

customisation is fine if you're doing something like rendering features

#

but plugins that have behaviour (for example, the eyeballs again), that wants to be edited, not necessarily just customised

#

it's one thing to tweak settings, another to get what you actually want out of something

oak thistle Nov 22, 2016, 11:29 AM

#

I don't know about that product in particular, haven't looked at it. But it's very easy to add blueprint override points so people can change the logic themselves.

modern perch Nov 22, 2016, 11:30 AM

#

that assumes you know what the user wants to do with your product

twin totem Nov 22, 2016, 11:30 AM

#

@modern perch I totally agree, that's why I like BP more

modern perch Nov 22, 2016, 11:30 AM

#

and have essentially already implemented those features, more or less

oak thistle Nov 22, 2016, 11:30 AM

#

To be honest I would say BPs should take that approach too. If people are actually editing the blueprint directly, that makes pushing updates a massive pain, since there;s no merging.

modern perch Nov 22, 2016, 11:31 AM

#

there is merging

twin totem Nov 22, 2016, 11:31 AM

#

@oak thistle yeah, but that's user's responsibility, not the developer's

oak thistle Nov 22, 2016, 11:31 AM

#

Well, everything I hear is that it's basically broken. Do you use it?

modern perch Nov 22, 2016, 11:32 AM

#

it works fine, you have a diff tool that works as well as you can hope for a visual editor, and you can edit / save your local copy

#

personally I prefer to avoid it, but that is the fundamental problem with blueprints

#

since you can only get so much information on the screen at once

oak thistle Nov 22, 2016, 11:33 AM

#

Okay, I didn't realize it was even in use to be honest.

twin totem Nov 22, 2016, 11:34 AM

#

@modern perch You should be able to get enough information on the screen if you use functions correctly.

oak thistle Nov 22, 2016, 11:34 AM

#

@twin totem Yeah for sure, but like @elfin plinth says, people can vote with their wallets if they prefer BP assets over plugins.

modern perch Nov 22, 2016, 11:34 AM

#

you can never get enough information on the screen

oak thistle Nov 22, 2016, 11:34 AM

#

Haha.

modern perch Nov 22, 2016, 11:34 AM

#

there's only so much you can do with functions

#

if I want to do something, for example with math and transformations, it's very hard to get that to fit nicely on the screen and still be readable

#

whereas in code it'll often fit on a couple of lines

twin totem Nov 22, 2016, 11:35 AM

#

@modern perch Well, blueprints aren't that suitable for math. I do agree with that.

modern perch Nov 22, 2016, 11:36 AM

#

well that's kind of a problem really, since games are largely math :p

twin totem Nov 22, 2016, 11:38 AM

#

Well, yeah, but it depends what kind of math. If you're calculating integrals and what not, it's not very suitable. But if you're trying to see at what angle a ball will bounce, that's a lot simpler.

#

Anyway, it's interesting to see your opinions. I didn't know that people feel this strongly about BP.

modern perch Nov 22, 2016, 11:39 AM

#

it's still half a screen of nodes where it could be written more easily with a single line of text 😉

oak thistle Nov 22, 2016, 11:41 AM

#

I personally draw the line at the mere use of a loop or math function. At that point it already just seems like a terrible idea to me.

twin totem Nov 22, 2016, 11:42 AM

#

Yeah. Although I write code at work, I find that in UE it's easier with BP. At least now, in the beginning.

oak thistle Nov 22, 2016, 11:42 AM

#

But I realize I'm in the minority 😉

#

I think BPs are awesome for stiching things together at a high level, and of course prototyping. But I find it hard to understand why people want to use them to write significant logic.

twin totem Nov 22, 2016, 11:45 AM

#

Well, thanks for your opinions. 😃

wooden falcon Nov 22, 2016, 3:34 PM

#

man, this cyber sale is gonna be crazy

#

500 items?

modern perch Nov 22, 2016, 3:38 PM

#

that's basically everything

#

but I suspect a lot of things are only going to have shallow discounts - we'll see how it goes

wooden falcon Nov 22, 2016, 3:44 PM

#

I put mine on 50%

#

anything less isn't going to sell well, I think

#

but with 500 items...I hope I see at least 1 :/

#

oh well, I'll probably buy some stuff

ebon leaf Nov 22, 2016, 3:45 PM

#

I remember Stephanie saying a few months back the marketplace has over 2500 items, and there's been a lot of releases since then so... not basically everythign 😛

wooden falcon Nov 22, 2016, 3:45 PM

#

I hope the order of stuff on the sale is better than the order of stuff in the Materials category 😉

#

somehow my mod is last in that category

ebon leaf Nov 22, 2016, 3:46 PM

#

but yeah... I don't expect much in the order of sales if that's how many items are on sale lol. Even with good discounts 😛

wooden falcon Nov 22, 2016, 3:46 PM

#

gonna be hell scrolling through 500 packs

ebon leaf Nov 22, 2016, 3:46 PM

they really need to sort out tagging for things like this

or at least fix the search lol

wooden falcon Nov 22, 2016, 3:49 PM

#

yes

#

ugh

delicate dove Nov 22, 2016, 3:49 PM

#

not to mention that nobody will buy anything till cyber sale,especially since they dont know what will be on sale. so anybody not part of sale.. might suffer at least some loss of sales

ebon leaf Nov 22, 2016, 3:51 PM

#

oh well. Hopefully everyone goes nuts on that day haha

delicate dove Nov 22, 2016, 3:51 PM

would be ouch if you go 50% off and you sell less than four to make up for it hehe

ebon leaf Nov 22, 2016, 3:52 PM

#

Yeah, but on the flip side, as you said - if you aren't in the sale you probably wont get anything 😛 so I guess even half a normal sale is a win if you look at it like that lol

delicate dove Nov 22, 2016, 3:52 PM

#

a sad win, but a win nontheless hehe

@wooden falcon seems everyone has been saying that more and more the last month or two. I know that this has been my second worse month after last month

#

Maybe people are saving up to move out of the US since it started to look like Trump was gonna win 😛

wooden falcon Nov 22, 2016, 3:53 PM

#

they NEED better filtering

#

I bet if you looked at sales per month, the ones getting the best sales are probably sorted better in the page 😃

ebon leaf Nov 22, 2016, 3:54 PM

#

I'd say so lol

#

I had one day where my two packs that are currently on sale were the first two listed - got 5x the sales as the next best day on this sale (only been a week but still)

#

location location location 😛

modern perch Nov 22, 2016, 3:56 PM

#

well, if there are six featured items on the front page, you have a 1.2% chance of being on it :p

ebon leaf Nov 22, 2016, 3:56 PM

#

oh god... those 6 packs that do get on there are probably gonna make 60% of the sales XD

delicate dove Nov 22, 2016, 7:36 PM

hehe

sullen lion Nov 22, 2016, 7:36 PM

#

Anyone else ever see a pack for something you want to do, and buy it to see how they did it- only to discover they did it how you would do it?

delicate dove Nov 22, 2016, 7:36 PM

#

yea, two times actually

sullen lion Nov 22, 2016, 7:36 PM

#

It's happened to me once.

#

(mostly because I never did that again)

delicate dove Nov 22, 2016, 7:37 PM

#

thing is, the radial uv setup being used in FX UWave is THE approach of doing it

#

and I often use it for clients, same setup

#

but it feels weird to make a pack for the marketplace where I use the same setup

#

and basically just make it from scratch as the only changes will be the distance between nodes hehe

sullen lion Nov 22, 2016, 7:38 PM

#

Yeah, I know what you mean.

#

Even tho I don't sell on the MP.

Hmm.

@white osprey I guess the market place shall have it's own VR section by now. I know that any VR item would be at the end of the day a piece of asset, blueprint,..etc. But there are certain things defaintly mean tot be for VR games only...Like a pack full of hands.

@proven lily There's a number of people asking about content releases this week on the marketplace.

how long did you make it?

How much time I spent writing it, you mean?

#

I don't remember, I did it gradually over a long period. Initially it was for my own use, not for marketplace.

flat schooner Nov 27, 2016, 9:50 PM

#

What about time and date, how long that take?

oak thistle Nov 27, 2016, 9:51 PM

#

I'm really not sure. I guess I worked on it for 2-3 months before submitting, on and off.

#

In terms of hours I don't know, but far too many 😉

flat schooner Nov 27, 2016, 9:52 PM

#

how mny lines of code is that?

#

I am asking coz i will start to working on my plugin with programmer, I want to gain as much info as possible

oak thistle Nov 27, 2016, 9:56 PM

#

I'm trying to get VS to count it now. Not sure if it's working though, I've not used the option before...

#

But it will vary a lot from project to project. And the number of lines of code isn't always the best measure as to how long a project takes.

#

@flat schooner About 6000 for that plugin.

flat schooner Nov 27, 2016, 10:07 PM

#

When did you submitt it and how many numbers did u seel? If thats not a secret :)

oak thistle Nov 27, 2016, 10:08 PM

#

Maybe 4 or 5 months ago, something like that.

#

And it has been a total failure 😉

flat schooner Nov 27, 2016, 10:10 PM

#

Sorry to hear that.

oak thistle Nov 27, 2016, 10:10 PM

#

Partly because I'm terrible at promoting stuff I think. Perhaps I didn't explain well what it is. Or maybe it's just not as useful as I thought it would be.

#

I do wonder though if there are maybe quite a few people who won't buy plugins because they're not programmers and only use blueprint.

#

Of course that shouldn't stop people using plugins, but I think maybe it does a bit.

delicate dove Nov 27, 2016, 10:14 PM

#

depends, I either need a coder on my team or the pack needs to be as clear as daylight for a non-programmer like myself

oak thistle Nov 27, 2016, 10:17 PM

#

Why do you make that distinction @delicate dove? Are you saying that with a BP pack, you would work out how to use it by going through the blueprints, which you can't do for a plugin?

flat schooner Nov 27, 2016, 10:18 PM

#

But u don't have to code to use plugin, that's a whole purpose of it.

delicate dove Nov 27, 2016, 10:18 PM

#

well, same would be for blueprints in my case though

#

but at least I can understand a blueprint when I kinda look at it

#

c++ on other hand is like alien language to me

I do have quite a few plugin's purchased though, but havent used any besides instaLod

#

waiting for the right moment hehe

oak thistle Nov 27, 2016, 10:20 PM

#

In terms of use, you're right @flat schooner - a plugin can and should be just as easily usable from BP as an asset that's written in BP. But what Luos says makes sense, I guess it's extra important for plugins to be well documented.

delicate dove Nov 27, 2016, 10:21 PM

#

I think its also a mindset thing though, if blueprints already sound scary, chance is code plugin feels like a monster hehe

oak thistle Nov 27, 2016, 10:23 PM

#

I agree. I suggested to Epic back when plugins were first being released that they should make an effort to explain how they work to users, and emphasise that they don't require any coding knowledge to use.

#

They agreed, then did nothing.

delicate dove Nov 27, 2016, 10:23 PM

#

hehe, tbh not that surprised

#

but additionally, it does help to make a youtube channel or video dedicated on the plugin

#

mainly an how to install video

#

and additional some tutorial or showcase vids

oak thistle Nov 27, 2016, 10:24 PM

#

Yeah for sure. Sadly I'm terrible at all that stuff 😉

delicate dove Nov 27, 2016, 10:24 PM

#

though, well writen documentation also helps

oak thistle Nov 27, 2016, 10:25 PM

#

I have one more plugin I'm working on, I'm going to make a bigger effort on all those things this time around, give it a proper push and see how I go.

delicate dove Nov 27, 2016, 10:26 PM

#

it helps to make a good marketing video

#

prolly one of the best ones for ue4 was the landscape auto material

#

even though the actual "tech" behind is is just a well set up landscape material.

#

anybody could do it with a tutorial hehe

oak thistle Nov 27, 2016, 10:27 PM

#

Yeah. I hate marketing 😉 But you're right.

delicate dove Nov 27, 2016, 10:28 PM

#

same man, not a fan of money either

#

but hey,

#

hehe

oak thistle Nov 27, 2016, 10:28 PM

#

The video I had for that plugin at release was really terrible. I put a better one out later, but it's still not great. Though tbh it's not the kind of plugin that lends itself well to a video demo.

delicate dove Nov 27, 2016, 10:29 PM

#

hehe

#

its like a youtube video for a sound pack

#

unless whatever happens is why the sound plays, its just off

oak thistle Nov 27, 2016, 10:30 PM

#

Yup. Mine's pretty much, "Here's a video of a UMG widget showing the time!"

#

Not quite that bad, but you get the idea.

delicate dove Nov 27, 2016, 10:31 PM

yea lol

I tend to look at purchasing an "asset" (any kind of asset for that matter), as how much time does this save me? Not from a point of view can I alter it. If the Rock looks like a Rock, if the plugin actually does what it says it does? And I need a rock, or the functionality of the plugin, and it's going to save me time? I'm in. The only downside to this of course, is if the creator of the asset stops supporting it. (i.e. goes out of business)

supple moon Nov 28, 2016, 1:37 AM

#

@flat schooner @oak thistle @delicate dove I dunno if this helps but for us when developing our ODIN Tracker Plugin we always look at a feature and ask ourselves if we can / should expose the functionality as a Custom Blueprint Node?

usually the anwser is YES ;)

both doing that and including the fact you can do that in your marketing might help

though we currently don't have sales data to back that up yet (haven't launched on UE4 Marketplace yet)

#

though honestly I think that should be a rule of thumb in general because at least than your customers have the choice of diving deep into your back-end code base (if you provide the source code) or if they are more familiar with Blueprints they can have some control of the Plugin there

#

not to mention if you don't include the source code like we are planning to do with ODIN Tracker(binaries for the most part)

than your customers still have at least a little control to customise your plugin's functions via the custom exposed blueprints you've provided

#

still a good idea to at least include some of your source code for areas relating to engine compatibility so that if you stop supporting the plugin at some point in the future, your customers can at least update the code end-points linking directly into UE4 which make the plugin run / startup

zealous kelp Nov 28, 2016, 6:19 AM

#

yeah hopefully it gets fixed soon...i was going to buy the low poly city assets which are 50 percent off for a start...i still havent gone through all 30 pages of the sale yet before it went down either....maybe its under more than usual load lol

it might be down only in my regoin though...im in australia

Im looking at some horror sound packs, cheap ones. Didnt see anything else in the 30 pages that wasnt to expensive that i would use anytime soon

Those low poly assets did look exceptionally tempting though

supple moon Nov 28, 2016, 6:37 AM

#

can't resist now that it's on sale but I am on quite a tight budget atm

#

totally forgot about Cyber Monday (even before Epic Announced their own sale)

#

ended up paying all my bills + extra so I don't have to worry about anything over the holiday break

#

2 days later Epic Games made their announce + Quixel, Marmoset 3 being released and Allegorithmic is just extra salt in the wounds haha

zealous kelp Nov 28, 2016, 6:39 AM

#

when i looked at gunworks i was abit put off by how hes organized it...it only does materials and i think wont add modularity for weapon construction which makes it very less useful

supple moon Nov 28, 2016, 6:41 AM

#

lucky for us we have a lot of that setup partially

#

though how easy would it be to splice it in with GunWorks?

zealous kelp Nov 28, 2016, 6:44 AM

#

from what i saw of his project probably not worth doing but i havent looked at it for awhile he may have improved it...he has a pretty detailed video...i would watch that before buying to determine how use ful it is to you

#

for me it seems way to expensive for just gun materials that will only work with that mesh in the pack from what i can gather

#

managed to buy two stylized assets before marketplace went down for second time lol at least they are still d/ling...i guess the d/ls use an amazon s3 server so probably why that always works

supple moon Nov 28, 2016, 7:00 AM

#

@zealous kelp from what I've gathered from watching his videos, etc in the past

it's pretty damn easy to add your own weapons in and the material setup runs off a colour map for the weapons which is super simple to setup

zealous kelp Nov 28, 2016, 7:02 AM

#

the thing that put me off the most was the fact that it didnt have modularity for weapon construction...i assume he plans to make another pack with that hence the name colourcore

supple moon Nov 28, 2016, 7:03 AM

#

@tall helm maybe you can pass this along to Epic staff but it would be super handy if Epic Games added a countdown timer on the Marketplace Event Sales and maybe also Sales page similar to that of https://www.humblebundle.com/

as at the end of the day not everyone is in the same timezone which makes it a tad bit confusing at times when a sale will end + you might even get more sales out of it thanks to that panic factor of "I might miss out on this asset at sale price" type sales lol

#

@zealous kelp ah ok,
on a different topic have you used / own Landscape Auto Material? as that is another thing I'm considering getting although it mainly seems to be making use of the default Landscape component setup (could be wrong)

well I guess also the placeholder assets are kinda a plug but I don't really need em to badly

rare lynx Nov 28, 2016, 7:06 AM

#

@proven lily My product was supposed to be involved in the Cyber Monday sale, but for some reason it isn't included in the Event Sale category despite being marked at a discount.

zealous kelp Nov 28, 2016, 7:08 AM

#

@supple moon i heard @supple moon complain about that very thing with that pack so i would be wary of that i havent personally used it but wouldnt buy after i heard what he said...he had already used every epic landscape example asset in his game so he knew straight away it just used them

tall helm Nov 28, 2016, 7:13 AM

^^ @ebon leaf yeah I've kinda discussed it a bit in the past with Unreal Alex, Chance and a couple other people but some responses were a bit vague

worst case is we release through our website but we would probably lose a hell of a lot of traffic compared to the UE4 Marketplace listing

I wonder how many games are going to show up on greenlight that are just a result of a combination of assets from this sale lol

@brazen forum nothing wrong with it if it's done right tbh. Hell, Ark was basically a combo of marketplace assets at launch and enough people seem to love that 😛

#

but there's a lot of other ones like that infinity runner game and that that aren't done right 😛

@jovial thunder I know. It's Random. 😃

Yeah

It's not random btw. Just kidding.

or if there was ANY sort of filtering/tagging system in place that actualyl worked... or even a wishlist

silver moat Nov 28, 2016, 8:07 AM

It seems like the first packages to be processed were the first to be put there.

jovial thunder Nov 28, 2016, 8:08 AM

#

Maybe

ebon leaf Nov 28, 2016, 8:08 AM

#

I don't think that's it, because in the middle there were one or two labelled as "new"

jovial thunder Nov 28, 2016, 8:08 AM

I have 6 products on sale, all in different places. Though 2 pairs of 2 of mine are slightly close together

Multiple people processing the packages for sale could be why theres a gab between your stuff.

Comment for a sound pack:

@tall helm @ebon leaf @silver moat seriously you guys crack me up and I think Unreal Slackers should totally have a dedicated channel for "story time" marketplace asset adventures with the rule being you can only mention the same pack every say 24-72hrs

"Choose your own adventure" but with marketplace packs 🤣

I dunno just thinking outside the box for a fun way to promote things tongue in cheek 😛

@compact nexus another thing the marketplace should have is a countdown timer similar to Humble Bundle when it comes to Event Sales and perhaps also later on standard sales (content creators choice to enable or not)

@tall helm @supple moon you should probably write a wee note of your request on this threadd: https://forums.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?128199-Marketplace-Feedback-and-Suggestions I know Adam and Stephanie were wanting to have central point for feedback and requests (and I think that's the right thread!)

Hello everyone!

We want to provide a space for you, our community, to be able to provide feedback, requests, criticisms, etc. The specific reason for this is it will give us a central location to be able to see what you are experiencing, what your needs are, and what you consider to be important steps for the marketplace. While we cannot guarantee that every suggestion will be implemented, we will be reading through this regularly to ensure we are aware of what is being requested.

@compact nexus probably should use this link in future as the one you've used is a closed thread:

https://forums.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?60299-The-Unreal-Marketplace-Improvement-and-Feedback-Thread

So now that the rating system has been included what else is everyone looking to get out of the Market Place. I think we're at a good place where we as a community can lay out our wants and desires for how the Market Place can best place to buy and sell assets.

For me the biggest issue is the lack of control that creators have over prices and updates. This really makes the marketplace come off as hulking and inflexible. Hopefully this kind of flexibility and control can be implemented sooner

I don't think the marketplace could handle ChamferZone's Ultimate FPS Weapon Pack going on sale:

My jaw would literally drop if it did considering the price to quality ratio is off the charts as it is 😮

22 triple A quality weapon models and textures for your Unreal project.

#

All made with Substance texture materials to boot 😎

#

^^ @delicate dove on the topic of receipts / invoices

I really wish Epic Games offered a way to export your purchase history individually and as a whole / per-month

Kinda sucks only receiving them via email with no backup just invade you forget to print out / save the receipt and delete the email (for tax purposes)

[I'll add my thoughts on the feedback forum later]

Still on the fence regarding:

https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/open-world-demo-collection - FREE

And

https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/archmodels-for-ue-vol-01 - 50% OFF

From reading the comments there aren't any LODs provided which is somewhat off putting

Would never buy at full price without them and even than that price is slightly pushing it

The only other thing I'm considering purchasing is:

https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/procedural-surface-toolkit - 50% OFF

Depending on on whether @snow ember has good things to say about the pack and while I'm sure it's a rather complex BP heavy pack, if at a glance things seem good I think I can sacrifice $15 USD for it haha

tall helm Nov 28, 2016, 10:41 AM

Hey, good morning @proven lily! Sorry to bother you with something unfortunate in the morning, but @raw nexus in lounge just happened upon a package that seems to be using stolen assets - or at least free assets whose license does not allow for redistribution or selling. See the comment by cora here: https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/collection-of-22-high-quality-chairs
The free assets linked include a license that clearly states you're not allowed to resell.

A collection of ready to use high quality chairs for your architectural visualization.

do people who purchased it actually get a refund?

I'm hoping I'll be able to pack information in the vertex colour channels on my terrain to input into that procedural surface

modern perch Nov 28, 2016, 10:44 AM

#

the content is just silently removed

delicate dove Nov 28, 2016, 10:45 AM

#

sounds like proper politics hehe

modern perch Nov 28, 2016, 10:46 AM

#

it's not exactly ideal - if I use something that later gets removed from the marketplace due to piracy (and I have no idea), then I could be sued for using that content, which I purchased in good faith

#

it's bad enough having the content taken away without refund, but not being notified is even worse

#

whilst we're griping - this asset is in the sale and I'd like to know what it's doing, but the website link provided is a dead link:
https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/procedural-surface-toolkit

The Procedural Surface Toolkit is a replacement for the traditional paradigm of authoring surfaces outside Unreal Engine, simply provide the geometry and let this toolkit handle the rest.

#

the 'online documentation' required to use it is kinda missing

snow ember Nov 28, 2016, 10:53 AM

he's got some links in the comments. Still looks like a 'suck it and see' deal. I've bought it to have a tinker

is it enough if one guy buys them or each has to buy its own copy?

User: Shouldn't you be reaching out to the buyers, regardless? Wouldn't want them using stolen content
Staff: Usually we don't have the step to reach back to customers, however since this one was only up for 2 days we can probably track those customers```

that's their policy ^

" All items sold are non-transferable, and users cannot sub-license the content for further redistribution, whether or not they have modified it.

but I know that even Epic has broken their own terms and never informed the users officially

#

I don't know anyone who got a note about Inifinity Blade sound assets and that they shouldn't use them

#

Epic just silently removed them and only said they didn't have rights to distribute them on some forum etc post when people started asking what happened to the sounds

#

that still leaves the sounds to peoples vault where they can use those sounds but without a proper license

if one didn't go searching around random discussions, one would never know there's an issue with the license

my biggest issue with gumroad sellers is that most don't put any license to the things there

#

so if you buy gamedev assets from there, you have 0 license

#

which makes them useless

#

as far as I know, gumroads terms are only between sellers and gumroad

#

I haven't found any license that applies to the bought goods

#

unless the sellers provides one (but usually there isn't even a mention on commercial use)

no idea what the PPP deal is even as there are multiple people selling on the same "brand"
