Why do I need to pay $100 to get my game on steam?
Dont they not take % from poeple that buy the games?
elfin plinth
@half mist if you worry about 90โฌ / $100, you probably shouldn't consider doing business in steam
fee was introduced for one reason alone, to prevent people from submitting all the joke games/garbage, although history has taught us that it doesn't really work that well
also, this isn't really a topic for #fab as this channel is about ue's own marketplace
also, since you didn't read the page description, Valve doesn't even take the fee for themselves, they give all of it to charity
half mist
I was just taking a look to see how this works so I know what to do when my game is finished
And yea I guess thats a good reason

If u want to put your game on steam and you don't want to pay 100$ you are cheap bastard
Yes I said it!
brazen forum
That $100 is the least of your worries too if you are planning on forming a company to protect your assets in the case you are sued...
I'm curious about that, do most people here have an LLC or some company they publish under? (Probably more of a discussion for general sorry I thought I was in that room)
flat schooner
Got question
*Good
@zealous oasis shipped a game recently, do u have company?
I mean LLC
brazen forum
LLC might just be a US thing I'm not sure though.
flat schooner
Yes it is but the concept of it works in every capitalist country
When I say lcc i mean legal company
modern perch
I have a limited company that handles my stuff
it's not entirely indistinct from an LLC
half mist
@elfin plinth You need to pay for it every month?
brazen forum
@half mist I think the Steam Greenlight fee is a one time deal
elfin plinth
LLC is typical
you can form limited liability companies around the world, it's not something that just US people do (although they use the term LLC there)
and greenlight is fee you pay only once for your steam account
you can then put as many games up to greenlight with that account as you want (as long as you don't break their terms)
but yeah, that fee should be least of your worries
you don't have to have LLC to sell on steam but pretty sure you need to have a company still
brazen forum
@elfin plinth do you know if you can post as many games as you want if you have an early access account or is that just for greenlight? (Or do you have to go through the whole process for each game)
elfin plinth
and running one will cost way more
๐
@brazen forum not sure about how they deal that once you've published already one game on steam
but you can put as many greenlight projects there as you want with that fee
although, if your game is VR game, it's possible to bypass the greenlight process altogether by showing your game directly to valve
snow ember
always good practice to form a limited liability company if you're serious about building a business
half mist
@elfin plinth LLC? And what do you mean I have to have a company?
I'm developing the game and I have someone else thats helping me with models and animations
snow ember
depends where you live but usually the overheads of a limited company are pretty low
in the UK you can set one up in 10 minutes online with 10 pounds capital
elfin plinth
pretty sure steam requires you to have a company if you sell a game on steam, unless you can find a publisher for the game that lets you operate without one
half mist
A limited company? lol I'm just a person that made a game for fun and maybe a bit of money if I will decide to not put it for free
strange yacht
I would highly suggest looking up what the local regs are
elfin plinth
I haven't published on steam though, that's just what I've heard
strange yacht
It's always a good idea to be prepared if money's involved, amiko
elfin plinth
well, if you don't want to run business, steam is probably not the best platform for you
@half mist ^
elfin plinth
You do not need to form a company, but many developers have found it to be beneficial. It will depend on where you do business and what kind of laws are applicable there. Once your game has been Greenlit, you will need a single individual or entity that will be paid for sales of your product. We cannot split payments to multiple individuals or members of a partnership.```they must have changed that
they used to require it in past
half mist
Ok then I guess I will do some reading now
elfin plinth
they used to have some age limit too in past but I can't find it

(continuing discussion)
elfin plinth
(from #game-jam-chat )
basically one huge issue is that regular users are not even aware they can vote for community pick
plush pond
some marketplace asset might 1 5 star review
elfin plinth
if @gaunt flicker wouldn't have been asking for people to vote for Linter I wouldn't have even known where the voting page was
delicate dove
allar spend 1 day asking for votes and he won :p
elfin plinth
well, as positive side, at least now I know how the voting works
delicate dove
that also kind of shows how many people care about wanting to vote
elfin plinth
but doesn't mean I accept the system
delicate dove
i hate it, i hope they remove it asap
ebon leaf
the comment adam made in the creators hub seems to indicate that they think it's a big success and it's not going anywhere
plush pond
I hope they add a Vote this for the community pick! button to the marketplace asset page that appears once you buy it
elfin plinth
well, if they want to keep it, they really need to make people aware how the voting even works
ebon leaf
I don't think the voting thing is really beneficial... it's only for new packs, which already have plenty of exposure simply by being new... and on top of that a the packs getting voted for, just by virtue of being new, either haven't been used, or have had very short term use at most. It seems like a pointless system that just serves to further add more exposure to assets that aren't suffering from the discoverability issue.
that's my addition to a conversation that I wasn't following at all ๐
delicate dove
crocks where also a big success, and not many people agree with that too
ebon leaf
lol @delicate dove
plush pond
yea maybe they just should remove it and make Epic pick instead
elfin plinth
^
plush pond
that isn't for just new assets
elfin plinth
but
delicate dove
i rather just have a random highlight that randomized every refresh
elfin plinth
tbh, I wouldn't trust marketplace staff picks either
ebon leaf
There was a heap of suggestions other than community pick... not sure that the community pick really had anyone behind it... but that was what they went with haha
@delicate dove ding ding ding we have a winner.
I personally think a "recently updated" would be good, BUT it would need curation to make sure they were meaning ful updates, not just version upgrades or little bug fixes to avoid abuse... which atm, adding more manual work to the marketplace team isn't ideal lol
elfin plinth
they could make top sellers etc lists so people would see what kind of things attract the customers
ebon leaf
that aside, random highlighting is the best imo
elfin plinth
of course, that would make well selling assets sell even more
which isn't necessarily a bad thing as crap products don't sell that well anyway
delicate dove
not to mention how well the community picks have been taken care of, having month old ones still high up
ebon leaf
yeah
tbh, i'd rather just go back to the extra featured new items and have them focus on automation if this is the way it's gonna be with featured changes haha
delicate dove
well, no use suggesting stuff anyways :p
/me looks at the awesome wish list
ebon leaf
yeah... Adam mentioned that there were a few big things planned for 2017... hopefully that turns out to be true but at this stage I'm honestly not hopeful. It's very clear that Epic, outside of the marketplace team, don't consider the marketplace a priority lol

plush pond
I wonder how epic profits from the sales, they still have to pay 70% of the base price to the asset maker
zealous ibex
Tim said the MP wasen't profiting enough to allocate a lot of time (or atleast that's what I heard)
But then again, I should think 30% of all sales sums up to quite something
ebon leaf
yeah... but it's a chicken and egg. Atm they have to pay way more pepole than they should to manage the marketplace stuff, which could largely be automated lol
then it becomes more profitable, as well as more well oiled to promote more positive change, to then result in hopefully more sales, so it's even more profitable lol
but... what do we know ๐

Which will definitely overshadow my single asset's sales
buoyant cradle
Art more valueable than code ๐ค Must be marketplace exclusive
brazen forum
@buoyant cradle If you write your own code the art is definitely very valuable ๐
buoyant cradle
But what if I make art, by programming, visual stuff that already has an implementation? That is rare on the marketplace, right?
ebon leaf
with art you can also transfer it from marketplace to marketplace I think with less overhead (could be completely wrong though)
buoyant cradle
^yeah, pretty sure that is right
you can export to everything
wish Visual Studio had such a function: convert Unreal c++ to Unity c#
elfin plinth
"Depends"
Ue4 art can still have special ue4 material
like, you do environment art and have foliage, people want wind effect
or other animations
or.. you do characters
animations are a whole another thing
if you do just the trivial "lets export individual textures for everything" + static meshes, it's a lot easier
which many sellers do
because it's easier
(not always better)
buoyant cradle
guess gamedev rules apply, you never know what your customer wants

idle token
@gaunt flicker Depends a lot on the asset price and such and on the asset. E.g. if it is cheap or mentions no support. Otherwise, especially if support is used as a selling point, <24h response time is exceptional, 1 business day is good, up to 3 business days is okay, anything more and it quickly becomes pointless, because there may as well be no support. Again, depends on complexity of asset and question.
But yeah 3 emails in 3 hours is bogus. If it's critical, I might ping again the next day if I got no response, but I see a lot of really basic questions on the marketplace comments, so I guess if you get spammed with those I'd understand if it takes 3 or more days to answer them... if you do at all.

As marketplace is so slow in including new version of the plugins, allegorithmic now provides binaries themself too

Good lord, there's some seriously overpriced stuff in Marketplace-but not as bad as Unity.
Given there's high-quality free tools for making VNs that are way more flexible than that, 50$ is way too much.
modern perch
$50 doesn't seem that bad if you want to use UE4 and it saves you 3+ hours of work..
zealous kelp
yeah sensible marketplace purchases can save you alot of time, especially during the sales with some items at 97 percent off lol
ebon leaf
yeah... $50 for somethign that essentially does all the hard work for you making a visual novel isn't at all fair to complain about. If there are other tools that are free, go use them for sure... but if you specifically wantt o make one in UE and you either don't have the skill, desire or time to make the framwork, $50 is a score, especially given the way those things sell on steam and such.
btw @modern perch , I dunno if anyone responded the other day - I forgot to. I got my payment in december so if oyu haven't already, I'd follow it up with Epic (I hope I am remembering correctly that it was you asking about that haha)
modern perch
It was me, yeah cheers for that. We didn't get a payout in December :(
Time to chase people up I guess

they missed a payment of mine back in october... never got a reason why, but they fixed it up in less than a week.

Replay System Plugin released ๐ https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/demo-player-with-vr-spectate
first plugin, now time to do an editor plugin ๐
zealous ibex
Cool ๐
ebon leaf
I was trying to remember who it was talking about a replay system lol.
flint snow
๐ it is something i've been working on for awhile over a year, but only since 4.13 has the internal replay system has gotten really reliable from my testing. (probably from paragon fixes ๐ ) Then i decided to turn it into a plugin finally and release it.
plush pond
Yeah, mine is really different than yours since mine doesn't use demorec
golden musk
just a question, if the replay system is implemented, what does the plugin add. just curious
plush pond
mine isn't automatic - more control, could be extended to a gameplay element, for example a puzzle game or a racing game ghost car
flint snow
yeah, mine used the replaystreamers, so it captures it all very much the same as paragon replays. I see yours can be actor specific for gameplay which makes it different in use ๐
There is a memorystreamer in the engine that can be used for specific actors to "replay" a kill shot in game. Its something on my roadmap as an option or separate thing or something.
little mantle
Wish : SteamVR_ExternalCamera support plugin
elfin plinth
@plush pond it should be easy to setup though as otherwise there's not much value in it
system like that basically just stores snapshots of the transforms and then plays them back by lerping between the snapshots
although if you do store animations properly then it's a whole another deal
was just thinking of the racing game thing (which is more trivial to implement)
fallow plinth
Anyone from the staff is on?
ebon leaf
P:retty sure it's the wee hours of the morning for them so probably not ๐
modern perch
Racing games use deterministic physics and store the controller inputs.
elfin plinth
ah, we were talking about the replay system only ๐
modern perch
Well, someone mentioned racing games - that's how they do it! Hehe
shell jacinth
@modern perch: talking about racing games? do you mean the "ghost" car or what?
modern perch
Any kind of replay system, yeah
modern perch
Ghost car is a good example, bit replay AI too since AI will use simulated inputs, more or less
You get weird results using snapshots
elfin plinth
like?
oh you mean like in corners
yeah, I get what you mean
you could do some math to fix that though
modern perch
Best case vehicle movement doesn't feel right, worst case things like collisions and spinning out can go pretty wrong
elfin plinth
to make them follow a spline shape for example
modern perch
If you have a replay with multiple vehicles, rather than strictly a ghost car, snapshots won't really work at all
elfin plinth
why?
modern perch
They won't capture physical interaction between vehicles
elfin plinth
you could store the snapshots more often to help with it
I think that's what codemasters games do
they write a HUGE file on disk while you play it
modern perch
You'd need absurd snapshot resolution to get.it to behave correctly
Honestly, it's just not a great solution to the problem
elfin plinth
yeah, I can't really comment on that yet, but I'll sure try it myself at some point
doing the physics sim again isn't fool-proof either but I guess one could combine two
modern perch
It's okayish for a single ghost car, and the less simulationy the better
Deterministic physics and stored inputs results in fairly lightweight replay files and it is more or less foolproof
elfin plinth
if you could guarantee the physics sim is fully deterministic and same with your data, then it should work fine
but if you do sim grade physics, I'm pretty sure you'd have to have some failsafes around in case players computers don't keep up and you need do things less optimal way, breaking the determinism
hybrid solution would correct those anyway, like if you stored snapshots (with physics sim values) but not as often
I might try that if the snapshot route isn't good enough
and, now I'm doing offtopic in #fab, today is not a good day ๐
modern perch
AI in heavier Sims isn't as difficult as you think to be fair. You can store different input streams from players of differing ability, and defer only to a looser AI in special cases (overtaking, collisions etc). Most of them won't even bother with overtaking AI which is why games like Forza have such seemingly aggressive opponents.
elfin plinth
AI?
I don't know how AI got into this? ๐
but I do know that physics engines has that fail safe to protect from deadlocks and my own physics sims have them too
while it's unlikely that you have to use them, it's possible
unless you dev on a specific platform like ps4 etc where you can guarantee the hw stays somewhat the same
plush pond
@elfin plinth yeah I made it as easy to use as possible, and you can do animation in 2 different ways; Either record every single bone transform (Wich is not very good if you're saving the replays, 10 secs of 2 ue4 mannequins at 20FPS took 7mb) or duplicate the anim BPs and make them fit for the replayed actors. Here is the planned wip description for the marketplace asset https://drive.google.com/open?id=1HsBkQtfz7aisEXrXAgtIR5QdZu9TsqrMYzzErWmH4z0

Console is the only one that I can't test

But you should if possible have it tested, or someone will buy it thinking, oh this is intended for mobile
And the UI ends up not scaling or something

zealous ibex
What about consoles tho?
plush pond
supported != intended
ebon leaf
correct @plush pond
zealous ibex
If you test it compatible with a console controller on windows, would that be enough as it should work?

I would never list a pack of mine as suppoted for console... but I might list it as intended

@sleek egret I have a question! A marketplace asset I helped out on was developed on 4.11, but 4.14 was the latest version at the time of submission/release. We were thinking it should be possible to offer versions of the asset for 4.11-4.13 as well... how would that work? Do we submit a separate 4.11 version (which is compatible with 4.11-4.13), or is there a different process for it?
ebon leaf
That's what I've done in the passed with that scenario
well no, sorry, just re-read

@tall helm thats what I had to do after a mess-up with the cavepacks. send older versions and make sure to iterate in the email they should not overwrite the newer ones.

ok, thanks ๐ that's what I figured. I'll pass it on to my client!
elfin plinth
@west tide if you can make that generate msdf + sdf from the SVG, I'd buy it, now just SVG to texture conversion has zero value for me even if it's in engine
by msdf I mean this https://github.com/Chlumsky/msdfgen
that app has crappy SVG importer and it would be superb to have the generator in engine
there is a (grayscale) SDF in engine but it's only to generate the bitmap from font file
with DF images, we can get crisp UI images even the texture sizes stay minimal
which is my main interest on it but I could see it useful on some game props too if you need sharp details that don't eat all your GPU ram
white osprey
@delicate dove Twitch hosting features are driving me crazy. I wish I could do a multi-host like that and also have "host override" so it would automatically kick off low-priority streamers. Snake Pass' or Proletariat's streams, for examples, should be hosted over basic content (or offered as an option via a multi-host)
It's limited in many ways
So if you are in a host list and start streaming first, it doesn't matter if you are the bottom of the list, you will still overtake anyone who comes later
delicate dove
hmm maybe write a tool to refresh every hour or so?
shouldnt be too hard right?
at least, im saying that from a non-coder/scripter pov
gaunt flicker
@delicate dove @white osprey Can definitely write a script to manage it, but Twitch also rate limits your hosting commands

Also, here's a script idea for you: a scraper that checks out new public trademarks made by developers so you can leak titles before anyone has heard of them

LMAO

Then game devs will have to file multiple TMs just to throw off people watching the bot's output

sleek egret
Dave Allison?
flat schooner
I don't know his last name
sleek egret
Marketplace staff or somewhere else in Epic?
flat schooner
yes, marketplace staff
He reply to my mail, but it wasn't clear to me
I was wondering if he is here, so I could ask some aditional questions
but no rush I already send reply email
sleek egret
He's not here in discord but he's sitting across from me right now. If it's urgent I can give him a heads up

@sleek egret I have old comments on some of my marketplace packs that aren't inappropriate/spam, but simply irrelevant now. I'd rather have comments that matter be seen. Is there anything I can do about those irrelevant comments?

Why they're not answering to support request emails ? I sent an email from 13-Jan but there is no response, I got just a received message!

Not even one real business day elapsed?
Not sure if they worked on MLK
But you sent something on a Friday, expecting a response when?
shy bloom
Monday ๐

MLK day is a federal holiday in the US.

@shy bloom Don't always expect a reply even the next business day. They can take several days to respond in many cases
Anyone else receive a refund yesterday? I have a refund on one of the products I sold for a discounted price during the event sale, but was never contacted about it. Wondering if fraudulent purchases occured (Refunded on 1/16/2017)
ebon leaf
None here. Last fraudulent purchase refund that happened for me I got an email about it lol
jovial thunder
Alright, I'll get in contact with the marketplace team then :p
rare lynx
@jovial thunder emails regarding fraudulent purchases usually go out a day after the refund shows on your account. You'll likely get something today or tomorrow.
jovial thunder
We'll see ๐
rare lynx
It wouldn't hurt to get in contact with them though. ๐
sleek egret
@jovial thunder Flag them, I'll be able to remove them
jovial thunder
@sleek egret Alright, thanks. Just wanted to make sure they could be removed for that reason ๐

@thorny zenith I was very strongly thinking about making a cover system, but had no animations to provide with it ๐ฎ

@sleek egret Are self-employed sellers on the marketplace (Located in the United States) sent 1099 forms for tax purposes?
sleek egret
Yep
You should get it in the mail
If you don't get it by February let me know
But they should go out by the deadline on the 31st
jovial thunder
Ok. I need to change my tax information, do I just email the support email? Or is there a specific domain for handling such a thing?
gaunt flicker
@sleek egret I sent a ticket to change my seller info (my address) but no response. Was it lost forever?
I bet some other guy is getting my tax info
sleek egret
You can change it from the portal I have have to unlock it for you
Allar, let me check what e-mail did you send it under?
gaunt flicker
allar@michaelallar.com -> marketplace support
sleek egret
Okay cool let me check that for you
@jovial thunder You're unlocked now
jovial thunder
@sleek egret Thanks! Will it re-lock once I submit?
sleek egret
Yep
jovial thunder
Great!
gaunt flicker
I had to drive 30 minutes today to pick up my Epic winter swag due to wrong address on file xD
zealous ibex
@sleek egret is the deadline for submitting a sale request 2 weeks before inclusive or exclusive? (so the day sent + 2 weeks and then the day after or the day sent+2weeks)
