@ebon leaf I'm sure, they don't want to be supporting "customers" that are really not custoemrs

#

as well as, well, the contract that one has to sign, has 3 significant problems in it

#

and they are doozies

#

which is why my bigger products, will never see the marketplace, my tiny little ones? sure

ebon leaf Dec 3, 2016, 5:17 AM

#

There's a couple of 100+ products that do well, but the majority of them, based on discussions with sellers, don't do well because of the low cost of most things on the marketplace. That said, it often boils down to get 3 customers @ $40 or get 1 at $120

TBH...

just go become a builder or some stuff

ebon leaf Dec 3, 2016, 5:18 AM

#

Some sellers would rather the single sale because of less support potential, some like the word of mouth potential and the possibility of gettingsomeone who purchases your future work

lone mountain Dec 3, 2016, 5:18 AM

#

So $100+ price point for me

scarlet wave Dec 3, 2016, 5:18 AM

#

there is that victor, I'm not saying your wrong, there is another way to look at it though, which is, more people, means more discussions, more ideas, perhaps more new products

@gaunt flicker are you still updating GS or is that 'finished' for good now?

lone mountain Dec 3, 2016, 5:19 AM

#

He came in, did his thing, and ran

ebon leaf Dec 3, 2016, 5:19 AM

#

aside from engine versions

supple moon Dec 3, 2016, 5:20 AM

#

GS didn''t need to be updated after 4.11

#

but unreal engine insisted that things are broken

#

so it broke them

ebon leaf Dec 3, 2016, 5:20 AM

#

haha

gaunt flicker Dec 3, 2016, 5:20 AM

#

ONE DAY THERE WILL BE AN ENGINE UPDATE THAT WON'T BREAK GENERIC SHOOTER

#

Estimated 4.20

lone mountain Dec 3, 2016, 5:20 AM

#

Then it'll be set on fire?

opaque rapids Dec 3, 2016, 5:21 AM

#

one day my files will be correctly uploaded

ebon leaf Dec 3, 2016, 5:21 AM

#

then he'll pull it from the marketplace 😛

lone mountain Dec 3, 2016, 5:21 AM

#

He wanted to put GS up for Free the other day

gaunt flicker Dec 3, 2016, 5:21 AM

#

Generic Air Drop was made in 3 hours and has not been touched since. After however long its been, its made $~450

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

lone mountain Dec 3, 2016, 5:22 AM

#

$450 op

gaunt flicker Dec 3, 2016, 5:22 AM

#

So if you're going for long term

#

Publish and forget

lone mountain Dec 3, 2016, 5:22 AM

That's a lot of pizzas

gaunt flicker Dec 3, 2016, 5:22 AM

At least if you want to raise your $ per hour

ugh, why is the ue4 launcher so bad at downloading

#

i left it on for an hour to download a 1 gig pack, come back, and it's going back and forth from 8.5 to 8.3 MEG

#

:/

shell jacinth Dec 3, 2016, 6:29 PM

#

the launcher is bad in general. I can't figure out how to make it update after I dismissed the initial notification

wooden falcon Dec 3, 2016, 6:31 PM

lol

sullen lion Dec 3, 2016, 6:33 PM

"Hey, how about we have a launcher that opens each time you open a project?"

wooden falcon Dec 3, 2016, 6:47 PM

#

opens slowly, for me

#

really slow

#

but not as slow as Doom is taking to download on my 3 meg dsl (60 gig d/l)

#

😉

#

at least steam is reliable with downloads, though

@gaunt flicker I find the "Straighten connections to..." you get when right clicking on a pin even more useful. Especially when you have multiple inputs on a function or long wires etc.

#

they should/need to mimic Substance designer and Nuke in terms of DAG use. They should also make that functionality 100% in partiy across any DAG editors UE4 uses (material DAG should be the same utility as the BP DAG, etc...)

#

I find most suggestions and tweaks from us out here seem to be about turning UE4 more into a platform product rather than as its obvious current use: A game engine for Epic aimed at their project goals.

I wanna give a shoutout to this marketplace item. The developer has been awesome at supporting me with questions about it related to forward rendering fixes and the decals and fx themselves are pretty awesome. It's a great deal for anyone looking for weapon effects. https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/advanced-laser-and-bullet-decals

hi guys a package that i submitted got published but the price is higher than I selected, is it normal?

modern perch Dec 5, 2016, 10:50 AM

#

did you take into account local tax?

#

e.g. a $19.99 package would be ~£19.50 in the UK because there is 20% VAT

fallow plinth Dec 5, 2016, 10:51 AM

#

probably not

#

can you explain?

#

but in the us they see 19.99?

modern perch Dec 5, 2016, 10:51 AM

#

yes

fallow plinth Dec 5, 2016, 10:51 AM

fair enough

@zealous ibex what do you mean?

#

Well my asset is set to launch in a few days, so does anyone have any things that are like teh TO DO? (for example a place where you just need to post your asset etc :D) This is my first asset so I am probably the most n00by person

#

Basically @wicked pebble

wicked pebble Dec 5, 2016, 4:34 PM

#

Use twitter

zealous ibex Dec 5, 2016, 4:34 PM

#

Will do, ty 😄

wicked pebble Dec 5, 2016, 4:34 PM

#

They have bots that retweet anything with #gamedev

zealous ibex Dec 5, 2016, 4:34 PM

#

Ooooh

#

That is kewl

wicked pebble Dec 5, 2016, 4:34 PM

#

And #indiedev

#

Throw in a "first week out sale" of a 10% discount if you want, whatever you want that'll make things pop.

ebon leaf Dec 5, 2016, 4:35 PM

#

yeah Twitter is the go to.

zealous ibex Dec 5, 2016, 4:35 PM

#

I already tried to put that in the email

ebon leaf Dec 5, 2016, 4:35 PM

If you tag @UnrealMarketplace they often retweet

zealous ibex Dec 5, 2016, 4:35 PM

#

Oooh sweet

#

Launch sales are just ❤

ebon leaf Dec 5, 2016, 4:36 PM

#

SOMETIMES @UnrealEngine do too, but not usually

wicked pebble Dec 5, 2016, 4:36 PM

Look for companies that review, and give them a version of it, and they'll promote it. 😃

#

There's tons of things! ^~^

yep

#

Include, in the OP, a bit of a description, video, screens, etc.

#

UE4 forums are your second highest source of exposure (after the marketplace itself)

zealous ibex Dec 5, 2016, 4:38 PM

Sweet

wicked pebble Dec 5, 2016, 4:38 PM

Definitely set up some videos. Those convince people.

haha your first one is always the biggest deal IMO

though, the others are nice in a different way

You feel successful after the first one. But the hype is pleasant~

But I feel pretty good about it

#

btw, Search functionality on the Marketplace (via website at least) is nonexistent

#

can't find sh#t there by typing request in the search input field

ebon leaf Dec 5, 2016, 4:48 PM

#

nah its there. But unless you use the EXACT title it doesn't work lol

#

so, for finding something called "Bill's Awesome Adventure Pack", you need to type that, exactly, including the "Bill's" as that, not as "Bills" 😛

#

which you know, isn't useful 😛 cause you are searching to fnid things usually, not cause you have already found them lol

drowsy jasper Dec 5, 2016, 4:53 PM

#

It needs tags

#

so that something like "Modular Scifi" can be found by using "sci-fi,scifi,modular, modular sci-fi"

ebon leaf Dec 5, 2016, 4:54 PM

#

yep

#

and the 'related items' system is lolz

#

my survival game template usually has space skyboxes and platformer icons as the related content... not sure how that works lol

flint snow Dec 5, 2016, 4:55 PM

Hmmm, looks like we got the ability to view more than 6 months of sales data back! Not sure when that happened but hurrah!

humble stag Dec 5, 2016, 5:30 PM

#

@ebon leaf Sweet, I can check back all the way to 4th of juni 2015, I can finally see sales data from those days

#

maybe one day I can get the daily report from when my asset was first released

#

Was a bit weird in the beginning of marketplace when I had to wait 2 months to finally get my sales data, and it was only total for the whole month

ebon leaf Dec 5, 2016, 5:43 PM

#

oh wow lol... that would have driven me insane not knowing!

lone mountain Dec 5, 2016, 5:50 PM

Do you have to keep checking during their sales or are they like the steam sales now where it is safe to just buy all the things you want on the first day?

ebon leaf Dec 5, 2016, 7:14 PM

#

Usually unreal marketplace sales have been everything on day one except a few things that maybe get added a bit later probably due to sellers requesting it be added

I doubt it'll be up anytime soon, certainly not in time for the sale

I'd imagine their backlog is pretty huge at this point

@sleek egret "Please note that your assets must be at least 4.13-4.14 compatible in order to participate in the sale.", this means 3.14 AND 3.14 compatible?

#

@zealous ibex What do you have going on the marketplace?

sleek egret Dec 5, 2016, 9:09 PM

#

4.13 and 4.14 unless you've just released something and it's only out for 4.14

#

basically we need it up to date

jovial thunder Dec 5, 2016, 9:09 PM

Alright, sweet

zealous ibex Dec 5, 2016, 9:48 PM

@jovial thunder an inventory system ^^

jovial thunder Dec 5, 2016, 9:48 PM

#

I guess that changes my perspective a little

zealous ibex Dec 5, 2016, 9:50 PM

Its just a prpject i had lying around, and i need some more cash for a new pc, so i though hey why dont i try my odds :D

Is there a way to view change logs for items that are updated in the marketplace?

rare lynx Dec 6, 2016, 1:28 AM

#

Unfortunately no. This has been a long requested feature though. Some sellers have opted to manually log through their description, but it isn't comprehensive as there are character limits.

jovial thunder Dec 6, 2016, 5:02 AM

#

I just wish there was a section for newly updated content :/

#

Though people would try and abuse it, no doubt about that

wooden falcon Dec 6, 2016, 2:10 PM

#

make it so you lose your privilege to appear on that section if you get caught abusing it

#

so if you're updating very minor stuff just to appear on the theoretical "updated content" page

i like it

wooden falcon Dec 6, 2016, 2:56 PM

#

thing I've always wondered about ue4...do things really distort in perspective that much in real life? look at the lights up top

#

those are both rectangles

#

but the second one is distorted by perspective into a square :/

#

only way to fix it seems to be to turn down fov

ebon leaf Dec 6, 2016, 2:58 PM

#

world is legit 3d 😛 computer monitor is a flat representation of a simulated 3d 😛 I'm pretty sure that would be the source of that. And yeah, FOV is definitely the culprit. Realistically themonitor is only a very small portion of vision, but we turn it up so the player has a more usable slice of the world lol

#

looks good though btw 😃

wooden falcon Dec 6, 2016, 3:08 PM

Hi guys, quick question, why do I get the red exclamation point in my Library for the items in my Vault? "No Compatible Engine Installed"
I know for sure that they are all compatible with the multiple versions I have.

mine is right otherwise but it says that same "no compatible engine" thing too

so it's just the red icon that's inaccurate

proven lily Dec 7, 2016, 2:19 PM

Hey @lone mountain The date error is a known issue, it should only happen when you navigate to an item in your Library

#

I just checked and the "No Compatible Engine Currently Installed" error is a known issue as well. You should still be able to install the plugin despite this warning.

elfin plinth Dec 7, 2016, 3:42 PM

#

if it's known to give wrong result, can't you just hide the icon for the time being?

as it is now, it just gives wrong information to user and does more harm than good

Suggestion for improving the pagination on the MP
https://forums.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?60299-The-Unreal-Marketplace-Improvement-and-Feedback-Thread&p=634649&viewfull=1#post634649

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

ebon leaf Dec 8, 2016, 11:26 AM

I think it's good and bad. Good in it shows you are supporting it and things move quickly, bad because you have to go via epic and it's going to make it hard for people who may want to extend your pack once a certain feature is in

If people buy your asset and make changes, add new features themselves they will lose those changes, for people who don't touch it and only use it's features It can't harm a lot unless you start deleting/renaming/moving functions

@abstract hatch I didn't want to be inpolite. I tag one person from Epic staff who was present at the moment in the working hours in Europe and USA. I did it because I wrote to Stephanny yesterday morning and she didn't reply. I thought that this channel is also for communication between comunity and Epic staff (There is separate list of names under "Epic staff" on the right side of the screen) I didn't read the Unreal Slackers rules about taging Epic staff members. The last thing I want to do is being inpolite to Epic emplyes. Please link me the Unreal Slackers rules so I won't do again this kind of faux pas.

@jovial thunder not Stephanie here (obviously =P) but I'm going to go out on a limb and say I doubt that. Not every seller uses the GitHub to manually test those versions against the launcher version of the engine. In fact I don't know of any who do.

I didn't find good quest systems on marketplace, which will suit my needs. So I started to write my own plugin. Probably will try to submit it to marketplace, when it's done.
https://forums.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?131127-Quest-System&p=636385

I'm working on a Quest System Plugin and have a plans to publish it to UE marketplace.
By design, it will be a multi-purpose quest system, which will fit for any type of game.
All magic happens inside Quest Manager. Add it to PlayerState blueprint(or in Player Controller or Character, if you're not planning to use it in multiplayer or with different pawns) and you can start to use the system.
All you need to do is to set some params in a quest or task blueprints(like quest description),

Seems nice, I fear some could misuse "1-7 Day sale: 1 Week wait", and keep an asset on sale every other week. Should it not be 2 weeks wait, so it keeps the same sale to wait ratio as "1 Week-2 Week sale: 1 Month wait"?

@humble stag The maximum amount of time you can have an item on sale yearly is 60 days, so that probably wouldn't be an issue.

Hi, if you don't list a package as VR compatible, can then people still get a refund if they go against it and buy it anyway and see it doesn't work on VR ?

Not according to the policy. That's why we're forced to say which platforms were officially tested.

silver moat Dec 13, 2016, 12:51 AM

Okay thanks.
Btw one of the landscape packs just got refunded, because the background static mesh wasn't seamlessly merged with the landscape itself, which is something impossible to do.

#

I don't feel like complaining at this time, I'd rather take some sleep. But that's not nice. Not at all.

Where is the feature that merges a static mesh topology and UVs seamlessly with that of landscape?

In ZBrush or whatever package most people use. You don't do it in UE4 itself.

Hey there,

I'm currently working on porting my own, private Crafting System to Blueprints and then share it with you via the Marketplace.

No idea about the price yet, so let's simply skip the pricing part for now.

What is this thread about?

Mainly checking, if there is any interest in this. The Marketplace features a lot of Inventory Systems, so I thought this might come handy.

grab the source folder, make a project in the version of the engine you want, open project, add C++ class, save, drop plugin source in and then it will rebuild the plugin

might work might not

#

Yep

elfin plinth Dec 14, 2016, 1:04 PM

#

well, "you should stick to one engine version" doesn't always apply because epic barely keeps including fixes to old issues after new engine version is out

#

unless you build the engine from source, you can't get the new fixes (and bugs) without upgrading the whole engine

ebon leaf Dec 14, 2016, 1:06 PM

#

Yeah... It gets a bit hairy when you are talking bugs =p but unless it was something severe I would still be sticking to the one version for a project that I had already started work on *shrugs *

elfin plinth Dec 14, 2016, 1:07 PM

#

you need to lock the engine version down at some point for sure

#

but I wouldn't go as far as saying you'd need to stick with the version you start the project with

#

unless it's a quick project that is

#

but just think of a indie game that gets built for 3 years, you'd started dev with 4.0, what are the chances that people wouldn't upgrade the engine in the middle of that

ebon leaf Dec 14, 2016, 1:10 PM

#

I don't think upgrading your engine after 1.5 years is a good idea personally 😛 I didn't mean from the moment you start though - you're right. But I think I would likely look at the future roadmap and do my work based around that. If something was coming that I knew I wanted/ impacted my project deeply, I'd focus on the art side of things and all that until that version hit then get to the mechanics and such shrugs

supple moon Dec 14, 2016, 1:28 PM

@elfin plinth I try to grab commits from newer engines... though I have struck a problem recently where epic fixed a major issue but don't have a link for the commit 😄

elfin plinth Dec 14, 2016, 2:11 PM

#

oh right

#

they made it impossible to grab individual commits too!

#

so you can't even fix the old engine

#

I've been burned with these many times already, so I wanted to hear back from epic developers on this.

When you try to find what's changed on certain feature that's not working properly or just want to see what is changed, you go and find the related commit from related source files history, only to come across with something like this:

https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/a0625fdf15e73f1ed582a1c2049b2ae033e0e7a3

Yes, that is 2,438 changed files with 20,222 additions and 24

#

I ranted about this on forums :p

#

it's practically impossible to figure out anymore what changes are related to the bugfixes you are interested youself

steady vault Dec 14, 2016, 6:26 PM

That is due to process of syncing the github fork from the internal perforce, I guess doing it commit by commit is too heavy. I hope this gets fixed sometime though.

#

@proven lily just got a quick question, I'm preparing a C++ plugin for the marketplace, so source should be included but I would also love to be able to give access to a private github repo to those users who purchased the plugin, is there any feasible way of doing such a thing on the marketplace?

elfin plinth Dec 14, 2016, 8:03 PM

@steady vault I know the reason, but it doesn't change the fact that version control is almost useless to end users like that

we can't cherry pick individual commits or even examine what they changed

It was glorious when I had perforce access xD

elfin plinth Dec 14, 2016, 8:05 PM

it was nice before they made the change 1.5 years ago

#

although master was more unstable before that

Yep, 30 min sync

#

But master ia supposed to be unstable

#

I would be ok with that

elfin plinth Dec 14, 2016, 8:06 PM

#

#

I still don't know why they can't push the individual commits with some bot, even if they do some merge fixing on separate branch

steady vault Dec 14, 2016, 8:11 PM

#

Might be that those are not even pushes to the p4 master for each commit

#

So every team might be on a separate branch internally, for internal stability

#

So merging their dev branch into the master depot on P4 might just be the same as merging in git with --squash. So all the individual history is lost.

modern perch Dec 14, 2016, 8:34 PM

#

@steady vault, @elfin plinth - having worked on UE4 directly, I can tell you that commits are so frequent you'd have hell picking out any single changelist you wanted anyway

#

we're talking a commit every few minutes

#

there's also a build system that builds everything for all platforms for every new commit and tells you if it fails

#

if you get the engine version in code you'll get something like a 7 digit number back - that's actually the current changelist version of that engine, more or less xD

For the previous c++ question, while we can't provide your users' information, when users purchase your plugin, they'll receive a receipt via email. if you'd like we can add a note to your product's storefront page that says something like:

drowsy jasper Dec 14, 2016, 9:32 PM

#

@sullen lion why not ?

sullen lion Dec 14, 2016, 9:34 PM

#

@drowsy jasper I already iced a BP-only AI because of BP not working. I could port it to C++ and it'd work fine. But code plugin and stuff. The bare minimum I might do is update my pack and test if it is still broken.

#

I could also work around that particular bug, but then I feel like it invalidates the entire design.

drowsy jasper Dec 14, 2016, 9:35 PM

#

wait, how is it BP not working?

#

did you report it to Epic by chance ?

sullen lion Dec 14, 2016, 9:37 PM

#

Feel free to criticize my design because one bug makes it meaningless- but it means that it isn't as clean as it should be and if I were to implement the workaround it'd be just like some of the other AI packs and how clunky they are to expand. The bug in particular is longstanding.

#

I might check to see if it's been fixed, but I doubt it because Distul just had this same bug.

#

I can't trust BP to work like it should, so I'm not going to invest my time in making a BP-only AI system that meets my standards when an engine bug can mean that people are completely justified in asking for a refund.

#

When you also factor in that people have asked for refunds because of an item being inherently exactly like other items of their type - and gotten them despite active seller support- I just don't feel like doing it.

drowsy jasper Dec 14, 2016, 9:46 PM

#

😦

#

what about making it partially in C++, partially in BP ?

#

(since that would be a plugin, the main thing is to make sure it is compatible with Windows/Linux/Android and potentially XB1/PS4)

sullen lion Dec 14, 2016, 9:48 PM

#

Yeah, so that's why I haven't done that already with my AI pack.

drowsy jasper Dec 14, 2016, 9:49 PM

#

I'd like to be able to modify AIs (e.g to assign different attack anims / weapons to each) for diversity, and I see it done via BP.

sullen lion Dec 14, 2016, 9:52 PM

#

If all you need is different attack anims, you can try my free melee thing.

#

All it does is put animations in a DT and then let you trigger them.

#

You can combine that with basic AI pathing and your own attacks.

#

Might be fruitful

steady vault Dec 14, 2016, 10:19 PM

#

@proven lily cool! The receipt would be more than enough then. Is there a way a seller could verify such a receipt?

#

For the repo sync thing in my previous company we had such a scenario just from SVN to GIT instead of P4 to GIT. The sync bot just synced once a day but generated the history for each commit that was merged. Not too fast but the history was intact.

proven lily Dec 14, 2016, 10:26 PM

to verify the receipt you can send an email to marketplace-support, we'll be able to assist you there!

steady vault Dec 14, 2016, 10:27 PM

#

Ok that would solve the issue ^^

#

The flow would be similar to confirming console access status then I guess ^^

#

Though having it built into the market place would be brilliant, an GitHub API key for the private repo on each item would be enough so the marketplace could grant read access automatically. Like with engine source.

#

But yeah a mail does the work too ^^ just thinking wildly here ^^

@steady vault currently the only method is to manually add people, VICODynamicsPlugin for example has you email them with a UMP purchase receipt before you get invited to the private GitHub repo

though they also don't include full source code in the vanilla version of the plugin on the UMP, you have to get that through GitHub

physical objects have their windload calculated by
material densities and an estimated surface area the wind is projected to.

This ambient wind system works with physics, Apex cloth and Speedtree, with particle effects and the simple grass vertex shader.

@humble stag that spreadsheet is awesome... tried to add some tags to my shit and it didn't let me though 😛

zealous ibex Dec 15, 2016, 5:48 PM

#

😦

#

I think I added tags to my item (I dont wanna start tagging other stuff as otherwise I'd probably mistag lol

ebon leaf Dec 15, 2016, 5:49 PM

#

some items have tags... but for whatever reason, I can't add any shrugs

humble stag Dec 15, 2016, 6:11 PM

#

you should be able to add tags? At least i can do it in incognito mode.

#

But do please add tags to assets that dont belong to you. the existing tags are made by me,

zealous ibex Dec 15, 2016, 6:40 PM

Hm

#

@humble stag I wanna add tags to other assets, just what if I use the wrong tags ;P

humble stag Dec 15, 2016, 6:46 PM

#

@zealous ibex You are free to make your own tags, as long as the tag is somewhat in the ballpark relevant

#

@ebon leaf Thats really wierd, I see others have updated asset tags, so I dont know why you cant. The other cells are protected, so you cant edit them tho

#

what is the cell number you try to edit?

Nothing personal against the concerning MP staff, but I waited a whole week for a reply and it wasen't even fully done 😛

supple moon Dec 16, 2016, 2:02 PM

#

@zealous ibex probably a good practice to follow regardless as they no doubt use a ticketing system so really you should consider your support email like if you were submitting a new feature, improvement, , etc type production task / issue

zealous ibex Dec 16, 2016, 2:20 PM

#

Hm true

I just feel bad if I flood them with like 2-3 mails in 1 go 😛

jovial thunder Dec 16, 2016, 3:08 PM

I try and refrain from asking more than 1 thing too :p

wooden falcon Dec 16, 2016, 3:25 PM

#

bugging them ultimately helps them, though. When things fall through the cracks, it looks bad on them. I'm sure they appreciate followup emails.

#

in fact, they've asked us to do follow ups if we don't receive responses in a reasonable timeframe

#

I thought necturus up and rage quit on the community anyways?

silver moat Dec 19, 2016, 4:29 PM

#

So the on sale tab items need to appear randomly.

#

The first 2-3 pages are occupied by like 2-3 sellers lol.

#

A count down timer for each item on sale would also be nice.

@sleek egret It's been over a week since I submitted a simple update to marketplace support for my ActionRPGInventorySystem and I have yet to receive a response or have the update published. Is there an ETA I can expect it to happen? I am really hoping asap as it's an important update and with the holidays a lot of people will just want to focus on building their projects.

sleek egret Dec 19, 2016, 10:38 PM

#

@long sand I'll take a look.

#

Thank you so much 😃

zealous ibex Dec 20, 2016, 1:53 PM

#

Ye updates are taking a week :P i guess the holidays are to blame

long sand Dec 20, 2016, 3:48 PM

#

@sleek egret just wanted to confirm the update will be processed today. I got a reply to my newest ticket i submitted yesterday about another thing. But I don't see the update from over a week ago on the launcher yet. Sorry to bother you but I am going on holidays tomorrow and it's very important the update gets released before the holiday sale.

#

Also how come only new releases can get voted for what appears to be a 2 month long feature 😛

#

It would be nice having one of the highest rated marketplace assets to see it featured again in my life time.

ebon leaf Dec 20, 2016, 3:52 PM

#

I think they should just highlight really obscure assets on permafeature. Thing sthat only like 5/1000 people would ever consider. XD

long sand Dec 20, 2016, 3:54 PM

#

why not just have it random stuff..

#

it's pretty stupid to see the same 6 assets every time you look at it for weeks/months

ebon leaf Dec 20, 2016, 3:54 PM

#

i was being facetious 😛 but I agree

#

random ftw

#

hell... one random per category if you wanna be weird about it 😛 though just total random would be best

#

change it every x time (ideally, at least once a day :P)

wooden falcon Dec 20, 2016, 4:29 PM

#

I'm not sure about anyone else, but the lesson I learned is: don't release your pack in December :/

ebon leaf Dec 20, 2016, 4:35 PM

#

I think the lesson learned is don't be a marketplace seller in december. Yeesh

wooden falcon Dec 20, 2016, 4:37 PM

#

maybe people are saving up for the sale :/

ebon leaf Dec 20, 2016, 4:37 PM

#

I still think they are broke from the last one

wooden falcon Dec 20, 2016, 4:37 PM

#

yah, that's part of it

#

that's the major problem with big sales like that, they sort of canabalize from the following months

ebon leaf Dec 20, 2016, 4:38 PM

#

yeah

wooden falcon Dec 20, 2016, 4:39 PM

#

are there going to be new packs on the MP this week?

#

https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/spawning-randomizer-tool this looks interesting

This blueprint allows for spawning number of object in random places in the set area for easier level designing. User can spawn objects in random sizes and rotations. It can work with or without simulated physics and tracing.

#

sort of similar to this: https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/procedural-trash-placer but hopefully easier to use

A semi-automated physics-based system to sprinkle trash in your game.

sleek egret Dec 20, 2016, 5:30 PM

#

@wooden falcon New packs this week but not next week so we're trying to get out as many people as we can tomorrow so they don't have to wait until January to release

#

hey everyone... i'm a 3d artist and it's been a while that i wanted to give a go to both the unreal marketplace and the unity asset store...i've been checking out a bit what asset people have been posting, especially characters and i usually notice that most of them have from none to very few evaluation, and few comments...so my wonder is if the marketplace is much populated at all? is it possible to make a decent amount of sales?

ebon leaf Dec 20, 2016, 7:43 PM

#

It's possible... not super easy though. And getting customers to leave comments/ratings unless they are unhappy is very hard 😛

sly shoal Dec 20, 2016, 7:44 PM

#

ahaha ok i see...is there any other 3d modeler in here that could share his experience? i get most people publish bluprints and game mechanics stuff right?

ebon leaf Dec 20, 2016, 7:45 PM

#

There is a lot of art assets on there.. but I'm a blueprint author, so I can't help with specifics. THey do pop in though so just hang around and someone will be able to help out 😃

sly shoal Dec 20, 2016, 7:45 PM

#

thanks 😉

wooden falcon Dec 20, 2016, 8:14 PM

I don't know if any of the character modelers frequent here...most of the stuff is by protofactor and mr.necturus

#

was an honor to work for him 😃

ebon leaf Dec 21, 2016, 5:51 PM

#

Hey @proven lily @sleek egret , I don't know if this is deliberate... but it looks like the related content on all blueprint assets is the same, and it's all new content 😛

#

📎 unknown.png

#

correction... looks like related content is the same for every category lol

#

so all characters have the same 5 characters there, all blueprints have the same 5 blueprints, etc.

proven lily Dec 21, 2016, 6:07 PM

#

Hey @ebon leaf I think I'm missing something, what is going on?

ebon leaf Dec 21, 2016, 6:08 PM

#

So if you open up three different blueprint assets in the launcher, or on the marketplace website, they will all have the exact same 5 blueprint assets as related content... regardless of what they are. So a rpg template will have the same related content as say in-game clocks

#

Likewise, if you open an orc character and a robot character, they will have the exact same 5 characters as related content

#

and all the related content seems to be new items too

proven lily Dec 21, 2016, 6:09 PM

#

Ah, I see what you mean now, thank you.

ebon leaf Dec 21, 2016, 6:09 PM

#

So... its more like "Here are 5 new items in this category!" than related content 😛

proven lily Dec 21, 2016, 6:10 PM

#

so the way this is currently designed is it will show the 5 content pieces that are within the same category that are closest/share a release date with that asset.

ebon leaf Dec 21, 2016, 6:11 PM

#

well, my survival game template from feb last year shares the same 5 content pieces as a blueprint pack released today haha so I don't think that's quite working 😛

#

but even so - that's not really related content is it? Shouldn't it be titled something else? Related content should be content that is related in theme or use to the content being viewed, in my mind at least

proven lily Dec 21, 2016, 6:13 PM

#

I'm writing up a bug report for this now as I don't believe this is the intended functionality.

ebon leaf Dec 21, 2016, 6:13 PM

#

TBH, I think that it should probably be fueled by similar tags - so if two items have the tag first person, they are likely to be listed... but afaik there's no tag system haha

proven lily Dec 21, 2016, 6:35 PM

#

alright, I've entered a bug report on our end

ebon leaf Dec 21, 2016, 6:35 PM

#

No worries 😃

jovial thunder Dec 21, 2016, 9:40 PM

#

@proven lily @sleek egret Can a user refund a product if it causes the output log to be spammed by warnings (Everything still working completely fine)? Also, must older engine versions of a product be kept up-to-date in terms of any bug fixes there may be needed? Or is that just required for the latest version (4.14)?

zealous ibex Dec 21, 2016, 9:41 PM

#

^ very good question 😃

proven lily Dec 21, 2016, 9:42 PM

#

If a product is marked as compatible with a specific engine version and there is definitely a bug, it should be updated in that engine version, even the older ones

#

for the refund, it really depends on the warnings in question and whether or not they are a. of consequence to the pack in question and b. if they are actively detrimental (such as circular dependencies)

jovial thunder Dec 21, 2016, 9:44 PM

#

Ok, and then another question:

#

📎 053d0a4b62.png

#

Given those file submissions ^, if I needed to submit a bug fix for the files added on July 14th, would I just indicate in the email that it is for the July 14th version (4.10 - 4.13)?

proven lily Dec 21, 2016, 9:46 PM

#

In this case, I'd make it clear it was for the 4.10 version of the product, though generally we can check the .uproject to see which engine version the particular project is associated with, giving us that information ahead of time does speed up the process considerably

jovial thunder Dec 21, 2016, 9:47 PM

#

Ok. Say I accidentally marked the Nov 21st submission as 4.13 compatible. When the user attempts to download the 4.13 version, would it just download whichever version was submitted most recently, that is compatible with 4.13?

proven lily Dec 21, 2016, 9:48 PM

#

so what generally would happen is we'd check before submitting to ensure which engine version is associated with the project, and we tie the compatible version to that. If a project is marked as 4.14, it won't open in 4.13 so we'd generally tie that to the previous project version anyways unless specifically told to do otherwise to prevent this from occurring.

#

in the case of the image above, the 414 version would show "4.14" as the engine version, extrapolating from there, we can verify that the product wouldn't open in 4.13 since the editor does not have engine version backwards compatibility so the 4.13 product would have to be a previous project version 😃

jovial thunder Dec 21, 2016, 9:51 PM

#

Right, but if I manually marked the Nov 21st submission as 4.13 compatible, you would go in and check to see if it is actually compatible, or you're saying it would automatically just be 4.14 compatible due to no backwards compatiblity?

proven lily Dec 21, 2016, 9:56 PM

#

Ah I see what you are saying, sorry I misunderstood. Let me run a quick test and I can give you a definite answer, but I believe what would happen is it would pull the latest/most recently marked version as 4.13, so the 4.14 product marked as 4.13 compatible would be pulled in that case

jovial thunder Dec 21, 2016, 9:56 PM

#

Ok, thanks 😄

proven lily Dec 21, 2016, 10:16 PM

#

Alright, so the way this works is whichever product is on the bottom of the list will be the one that is referenced for the engine version when two have the same engine version

#

It is not based on date but on which one is actually below the other as seen on the page.

#

We've found that this is a symptom of a known issue that is already in our system.

jovial thunder Dec 21, 2016, 10:21 PM

#

The known issue is the products not being listed chronologically, in some cases? Or in what case may the bottom item not be the most recently submitted?

Whoever makes all those cheap weapon packs, those are such a great deal.

#

Especially for VR if you don't need animations for them.

I wish the marketplace would highlight what page you are on, add a shopping cart, wishlist and finally exclude items you already own.

@flat schooner I switched the sounds on and put on headphones just to check the video, amazing!

flat schooner Dec 22, 2016, 4:02 PM

#

That seems a lot of work, thank you 😃

@flat schooner OMG I LOVE IT!

#

I get that the text effects fit into the theme, they are just kinda ugly 😛

flat schooner Dec 22, 2016, 4:13 PM

Kinda related to marketplace. For anyone that wants to build levels with Hammer HammUEr is on sale now. https://nte.itch.io/hammuer

itch.io

HammUEr by NT Entertainment

a Source/idTech 2-4 map importer plugin for Unreal Engine

#

I haven't tried it out yet, but it looks very promising. I'll be testing it later tonight.

@delicate dove what's the link to the Rocks Caves? The links I found to it on the marketplace from the forums 404 (Found it, marketplace search sucks https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/luos-s-modular-rocks-caves )

Massive, modular, easily customizable rock/cave assets for natural environments.

plain swallow Dec 22, 2016, 10:06 PM

#

I brought the $1 game music pack thats usually $30. Seems like something i could use

buoyant cradle Dec 23, 2016, 12:35 AM

#

Yeah, that 1$ game music pack

#

like wtf?!

#

is the creator starving or something? :3

#

or maybe it's ripped 😮 Idk, even for a "christmas present" this is nuts

tall helm Dec 23, 2016, 1:49 AM

#

maybe it wasn't selling well

#

and 30 sales at 1$ is better than 0 sales at 30$

wicked pebble Dec 23, 2016, 2:00 AM

#

Agreed.

zealous kelp Dec 23, 2016, 2:22 AM

#

i bought the 1 dollar music pack its actually really good, made sure i left a comment saying its good value even at full price as thats probably why he did it for 1 buck to get some ratings and nice comments...I never would have considered it if it wasnt 1 dollar though lol

#

will use the shit out of it though has 76 tracks and 260 assets

#

really wide range of tracks as well and good quality

jovial thunder Dec 23, 2016, 2:45 AM

#

I sold quite a few assets during the last sale, but haven't had a single new rating 😮

buoyant cradle Dec 23, 2016, 2:46 AM

#

put it our for free to get internet points :3

#

jk, I actually don't like it, the other poor sound guys trying to make a living and then someone comes around the corner and is giving away everything for free :3

#

I mean, you can't forbid people to give away free candy, but I dont know

jovial thunder Dec 23, 2016, 2:50 AM

#

You don't need to worry about being under-cut if you provide a product better than your competitors

modern perch Dec 23, 2016, 4:13 AM

#

I'd imagine it may not have been selling well previously - there's a LOT of music on the marketplace, so I suspect visibility is near zero

ebon leaf Dec 23, 2016, 4:26 AM

#

they also get really cheap when on sale, there were many many 2.50 music packs

elfin plinth Dec 23, 2016, 5:11 AM

#

@buoyant cradle IMO marketplace should allow even free stuff, so people would see the free offering too before buying some only but subpar implementation on marketplace

#

Unity Asset Store allows it and it works fine there

#

Monopoly and "protecting poor guys trying to make living" are not good for customers

#

If the product doesnt sell, it's a) not good enough b) is poorly presented/marketed c) not priced properly for what it is or d) there is no demand for such asset

#

So in the nutshell, you have nothing to worry if you just make a good product yourself and dont get too greedy

jovial thunder Dec 23, 2016, 5:33 AM

#

With the quality standards of the marketplace, I don't think you'd see many free assets

buoyant cradle Dec 23, 2016, 5:34 AM

#

The ones I saw for 2.50 were max. 5 songs, some even were 1 song only

#

This one has high quality

ebon leaf Dec 23, 2016, 5:35 AM

#

2.5 for even one song is super cheap when its for commrrcial reasons though

buoyant cradle Dec 23, 2016, 5:35 AM

#

Also, if one guy starts dishing out HQ stuff, market gets spoiled 😄 It's like "Hey, why don't I get this awesome music for 5$, this one guy sold his stuff for 1$"

#

Welp, that's life, won't complain any further ❤

#

Still s<3ks and I don't like it, and now make me a sandwich mum :3

jovial thunder Dec 23, 2016, 5:37 AM

#

Why should the marketplace allow free assets that reduce the visiblity of paid assets when they make no money from them? :p

ebon leaf Dec 23, 2016, 5:38 AM

#

otherwise you can get custom made music just by writing in any game developing group "any music producers/musicians that want to help me with some music for my project" and you will get atleast 10 replies

#

@buoyant cradle

buoyant cradle Dec 23, 2016, 5:41 AM

#

The guy who replies and tells me he will do it for 1$ will be suspicious xD

ebon leaf Dec 23, 2016, 5:41 AM

#

They will be replying and telling you that they can do it for free in many cases

buoyant cradle Dec 23, 2016, 5:42 AM

#

Rly, sound guys do music just for Promo?

ebon leaf Dec 23, 2016, 5:42 AM

#

@ebon leaf yep super cheap, I've been using marketplace music in some of my non-game related projects since getting a license from the sites that specifically sell music for youtube/podcasts/etc are still more expensive

#

I have had many of these requests, form either email, through indiedb and even facebook, and I was not even asking for a musician/producer that time on facebook 😛

buoyant cradle Dec 23, 2016, 5:43 AM

#

Man, I'm living under a rock 😄

ebon leaf Dec 23, 2016, 5:43 AM

#

Turned them all down though, well except one person, his music was awesome so he will do the music for our demo, and if it goes well with the demo I want him on the full game

elfin plinth Dec 23, 2016, 6:35 AM

#

@jovial thunder that would benefit all, first of all, we have nice community projects that people may not be aware off, so more free knownledge to everyone, and if there are similar product that are free, it would mean that paid products would need to do something better to sell, instead of just quickly throwing something together, again, engine users win and sure, lazy devs lose but I have no symphathy for devs trying to cash on ignorant people 😃

#

also, since they already have a platform for this, it would be easier for end users to keep those free projects and plugins up-to-date via launcher

#

they already do that for code plugins, I wouldn't see it hurting extending it to everything :p

#

it's not that we have THAT much quality free content on the forums

#

like it would flood the place

jovial thunder Dec 23, 2016, 6:38 AM

#

I'm all for it, once we have tagging and filters :p

elfin plinth Dec 23, 2016, 6:39 AM

#

yeah, filters would need to arrive 😄

#

and automation for backend

jovial thunder Dec 23, 2016, 6:40 AM

#

@elfin plinth Are you a seller?

plain swallow Dec 23, 2016, 6:43 AM

#

So does anyone reccomend any must have sale items?

#

Before i begin digging through the ~800 items

jovial thunder Dec 23, 2016, 6:43 AM

#

What kind of project are you working on?

plain swallow Dec 23, 2016, 6:43 AM

#

Starting my first game, a horror game

#

come from a comp sci degree with strong c++

elfin plinth Dec 23, 2016, 6:44 AM

#

@jovial thunder I'm not, although considering it

jovial thunder Dec 23, 2016, 6:44 AM

#

So you're not looking for any Blueprint/C++ assets then?

plain swallow Dec 23, 2016, 6:45 AM

#

If its something useful and an implementation would take a long time, then i would consider it. Otherwise simple stuff or stuff that wont take 50+ hours i would do my self

elfin plinth Dec 23, 2016, 6:46 AM

#

@plain swallow I'd recommend some general purpose soundfx packs at least, you always need them regardless the genre

plain swallow Dec 23, 2016, 6:47 AM

#

any reccomendations @elfin plinth ? I saw some really good every day sound effects in the black friday sale that i wish i got. Had thousands of sounds in all categorys imaginable

elfin plinth Dec 23, 2016, 6:49 AM

#

this is my go-to package for random sounds, it's got lots of sounds, some are good, some not so good but pack definitely has lots of value: https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/universal-sound-fx

Multi-purpose high quality sound effects library containing thousands of sound effects ultimately suitable for any game genre.

#

I don't think marketplace has the latest version though, it should have 5000+ sounds nowadays

#

another big pack is this: https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/pro-sound-collection

Pro Sound Collection now contains over 4800 professionally designed sound effects. Made specifically for games by award winning sound designers.

#

I think the first one would be better value even if they cost the same but at these prices, they both are really cheap IMO

plain swallow Dec 23, 2016, 6:51 AM

#

Thanks @elfin plinth
That second link is the one i saw in the first sale. Unfortaunately not as cheap this time around

#

So you think the first one would be better even at the same price? I cant complain at $10

elfin plinth Dec 23, 2016, 6:52 AM

#

it's definitely worth that $10

#

I haven't fully compared all the sounds though, just found the first one more useful for my own purposes

#

I have bunch of other sounds libraries too but they are more specific for purpose

plain swallow Dec 23, 2016, 6:55 AM

#

Does it have creaking door sounds? I wish it had a pdf list like the second link does

elfin plinth Dec 23, 2016, 6:56 AM

#

http://www.universalsoundfx.com/game-ready-universal-sound-fx.php

Universal Sound FX - sound effects for game developers and sound designers

#

there's a pdf

plain swallow Dec 23, 2016, 6:56 AM

#

Thank you so much!

elfin plinth Dec 23, 2016, 6:56 AM

#

I would wish they were 48kHz though

jovial thunder Dec 23, 2016, 6:56 AM

#

I don't have much know in the way of other packs, but I have 6 of which may save you some time down the road, depending on where your project takes you (If I'm allowed to recommend such a thing :p ) https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/profile/Jayden Miller

Build an epic game! Browse our always-growing curated selection of environments, characters, weapons, audio, and more, all built for Unreal Engine 4.

elfin plinth Dec 23, 2016, 6:56 AM

#

they are 44.1kHz

#

it's not a huge thing though

plain swallow Dec 23, 2016, 6:58 AM

#

I dont think i would notice the difference personally

elfin plinth Dec 23, 2016, 6:58 AM

#

I'm sure there are horror game specific sounds on this sale too

plain swallow Dec 23, 2016, 6:58 AM

#

That Maze creater... brings back the time a few years ago i had to program one in c++

jovial thunder Dec 23, 2016, 6:59 AM

#

Fun stuff 😃

plain swallow Dec 23, 2016, 6:59 AM

#

I brought a few horror music packs last time around, nothing with specific sounds effects though. Guess i will start digging through the sale pdf

#

But i think that $10 pack for sure. Also grabbed the $1 music pack this morning

elfin plinth Dec 23, 2016, 6:59 AM

#

but I'd preview the sounds on them, there are some sellers here that put huge reverb on sounds making them almost impossible to sound good on environment that's not a huge hall / dungeon

ebon leaf Dec 23, 2016, 7:01 AM

#

@elfin plinth me to actually, need to save up around 3000 dollars to convert my company into shareholding company, and therefore I need to save up more then 200$ per month to afford it in a reasonable time rate, I can make tons of meshes and modular packs if I just knew what people would want

jovial thunder Dec 23, 2016, 7:02 AM

#

There's a forum thread with asset requests, or something along the lines

elfin plinth Dec 23, 2016, 7:02 AM

#

it's too bad we don't have any public metrics on what sells well here

#

only thing we know if asset seller itself tells some sales figures

jovial thunder Dec 23, 2016, 7:03 AM

https://forums.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?25538-Marketplace-Content-What-would-you-like-to-see-from-the-community @ebon leaf

As you guys know, Marketplace is already a great place to get tons of free content from Epic (and as of today, Mixamo!), and it will become a place for the community to buy and sell assets of all sorts as it grows an evolves. We are working really hard to make sure that it is the best that it can possibly be.

I want to start a discussion to see what sort of things you all hope to see built out by developers and made available. Myself? I'd love to have access to Shader/Material Packs,

elfin plinth Dec 23, 2016, 7:05 AM

#

issues with request threads is that people tend to have their own agenda when they request thing, so in the end there may be a really little demand for a thing that few people request there

jovial thunder Dec 23, 2016, 7:05 AM

#

Yeah that's true

elfin plinth Dec 23, 2016, 7:05 AM

#

doing something modular and reusable seems to be safest bet if it's a 3d model

#

as that can cater really wide range of audience

#

most of marketplace art is still really specific, although we start to see a little more modular stuff there as well

ebon leaf Dec 23, 2016, 7:08 AM

#

@elfin plinth Then going by upvotes is the best option

#

I think

#

The people want scifi 😄

plain swallow Dec 23, 2016, 7:14 AM

#

scifi is going to be the new unity survival game with the default terrain assets one day haha

ebon leaf Dec 23, 2016, 7:14 AM

#

@elfin plinth what did you plan to do, if you decide to do something forthe marketplace, art or code/bp?

#

@plain swallow hah

#

Unity survival games, will they ever cease to be created? xDD

elfin plinth Dec 23, 2016, 7:15 AM

@ebon leaf could be anything ue4 related, but not really a topic for this channel 😃

ebon leaf Dec 23, 2016, 7:15 AM

a topic for DMs then 😛
