Anyone whos having issues with release dates and such with the marketplace, Stephanie said shes going to get things rolling, since there seems to be a lack of communication going on. Shes going to be checking out the tickets and being to release assets to grease the wheels.

Anyone here have experience getting a game on Steam?
I am seriously considering the idea of attempting to get my game on steam. But I need to do a couple more content updates first.
weird my text is red :X
gloomy bramble
@merry totem yep
whats up
if you feel you dont have enough content you're probably right
dont ship it with little content
ebon leaf
how long does the staging process take?
my submission has been aprooved, yet I havent been contacted since about a month
zealous ibex
I'd quickly send them an email
It usually takes a little while, but a month is rather a lot...even for the marketplace it's standards
It took me ~3-ish weeks due to not having all my payment info filled out, but that was ~half a year ago when BP review took a mere month
summer jacinth
@ebon leaf there has been a lot of issues with the marketplace lately, tons of us have been waiting a month plus without any response
ebon leaf
thanks for responses, @summer jacinth I dunno whether it is necessary for me to fill in the Tax Reporting form in my Epic account?
summer jacinth
Only if you are in the US I believe

@gloomy bramble right now I have about 1 hour and change worth of content. Much more if you account for New Game Plus
I am thinking that I want to start getting the wheels rolling after my next content patch which fixes a lot of issues as well as makess it so all weapon view models are in place.
My focus on the game right now is to get the foundation in place so I can add a shit ton of levels weapons and enemies without having to worry about getting the core systems in a functional state anymore
zealous ibex
I think you have to fill everything out, not 100% sure tho
ebon leaf
@zealous ibex well I hope not since I dont understand what should I fill in in Tax Reporting section :/ I dunno whats my Tax ID

you only have to fill out things that have this start * if you are not in US, if you are you have to fill out everything

looking at the assorted gun vfx pack.
its not a bad pack, but the water impact effect is a joke.
tiny water splash effect with 15.5k verts and a 425 instruction shader. two of em being emitted as seperate drawcalls. and then some other effects
if you are shooting this with an uzi or anything faster you'll crash and burn most computers
wooden falcon
what if you're shooting your computer with an uzi?
real dust
Luos' point stands
In regards to shooting with an UZI or anything faster: "you'll crash and burn most computers"
THough, to be fair, I suspect you'll also crash and burn most computers with something slower than an UZI. Maybe not burn, actually, but crash
gaunt flicker
Aye, as someone who almost exclusively works with shooters
I've killed many a machine with bad vfx

I have problems with assets i put it in to my project but doesnt appear the materials and textures

@gaunt flicker cubits content on marketplace is imho fooking solid

Aye, is solid
Also not the cheapest for your gpu
But the tradeoff for coolness is justified
delicate dove
i havent had to use the pack myself, basically when someone asks me to make gun-stuff I point em at cubits stuff.

Hello guys, i sent a marketplace submission 12 days ago but i don't receive any answer. This is the first time i submit an asset to the marketplace and i'm not sure if i should wait more or if my submit got lost. Is this normal?

atm they are rather slow so it might take a while. do email them again if you feel like it though.

Thanks for the answer
should i email them tho (reply them) or in this case i just should re-submit my asset?
ebon leaf
don't resubmit. Either email them or wait patiently for the four horsemen of the apocalypse XD

Actually let me create a new thread in the MP forum. It's pointless to hope for hearing back by waiting.
summer jacinth
Don't post in the creators hub
silver moat
Sure not.
summer jacinth
Not enough exposure there to Epic and the public
stark zinc
I don't know, but to me it sounds like people are actively slowing down everybody's response time by sending dozens of mails. Just from reading this channel I would dread seeing the inbox of the marketplace email address. Maybe just wait instead of trying to drown the poor marketplace guys in mails? People are saying the team at epic has too much on their hands and too few marketplace guys, but then people keep suggesting to send more mails, create more threads and pm more staff members. Doesn't sound like the best course of action to me. Just my thoughts. ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
silver moat
I think 1 months is enough time for them to have double clicked the .uproject and take a look around. Or at least say "It's not reviewed yet". This practice of completely ignoring people when it comes to communication is why people tend to sent more emails. It's a known fact that sometimes after 2 months wait you find out they have somehow managed to miss your ticket and you're asked to send a new one. So waiting longer doesn't mean it'll be fine.
leaden root
Well if you dont kick up a fuss, nothing will change

Id say the worst thing you can do is get complacent without seeing change.
zealous ibex
Same here, ~1mo waiting without anything,heck, I've had 1 plugin that was submitted ~3w ago, but they filed it as an art/BP asset, and once I corrected them it was "refered". Not heard anything back lol
Guess I'll be glad that I'm not the only one. It is a bummer about the waiting times tho ๐ฆ
silver moat
It is about 1 month since the files were sent but I've been trying to communicate with them for the past 2 weeks and they just don't write anything back. That's whats worrying, not the 1 month wait.
Implementing a post like system where you can track your submission by entering your ticket number would be a cool thing.
At leas you'd be able to know if they've receive it or its lost.

my menu kit took 3 months from submission until I got the mail for release date this week

zealous ibex
Tho I'd personally try and ask if it can be pushed back
You want to try and avoid being released around massive sales
You won't really get noticed, and if you do, you'll be one of the few assets that isn't on sale
wooden falcon
yah, you don't want to waste your opening week
zealous ibex
And then after the sale, everyone has spent their marketplace budget....and won't buy your asset
And your opening week/month is probably one of your most critical times for asset selling/exposure....I released just after the xmas sale and really hated the lack of sales in the first few weeks compared to the adverage sales. (I know this isn't really a metric, but I heard other people suffered sales in the weeks after the large sale too)
wooden falcon
I released right near xmas
it was...not good
at the time, I was like "oh man, that's coming out quicker than I expected, cool!"
zealous ibex
๐ Yeah, I went from submit -> release in 2 months...and that included me spending ~2 weeks trying to get my payment info etc filled out lol

ebon leaf
these big sales I always do at least 50%... people don't wanna buy stuff otherwise XD
zealous ibex
Yeah....I used to do that when I charged $20, but charging $15 I was scared about over-doing it
(as if I do the math, at a 33% sale I only get ~$7 after epic takes their cut)
ebon leaf
yeah... I have two packs at $10 and they are selling for 50% off (or at least they will when Epic fix the one that they just ignored lol)... feelsbadman.jpg
zealous ibex
(that'd be $5.25 if I went for 50%....which is barely anything)
Hm true, I'll have to see if I can get it changed to 50% off 
ebon leaf
I'd be interested to know if they let you change. I doubt they do but lol if they do XD
zealous ibex
If epic'd have approved my plugins I'd have put InventorySystem @ 50% off, but with only 1 asset ๐ค
I doubt it, but it's worth trying right?
When does the sale end again?

30th

haha tbh, there's no reason they couldn't change it - BUT they probably don't want to in case everyone starts asking lol

Any point holding out on the asset I want in hopes they'll increase the discount, or are those fixed for the duration?
zealous ibex
We're not 100% sure, but they probably won't increase the discount. A. I'm not sure if epic even allows this, and B. Most sellers don't really plan on changing their discount amount (atleast the ones that I have talked to)
So I guess you could wait, the sale lasts till the 30th, but I wouldn't have too much hope that the price will decrease I'm afraid ๐ฆ
split iron
Fair enough, thanks
ebon leaf
Yeah. It's very unlikely. However I'm seein gmore people report missing content from the sale so it IS possible more content will be put on sale as Epic are abused via emails from us all ๐

Ah it's just one specific item I was after, only 15% off (not that I'm complaining, better than 0% it was before!)

holy shit, all of Low Entry's plugins got expensive
I seem to remember them being $5
zealous ibex
Yeah same here, but maybe support got hard?
He's got a ton of plugin, so I can't really blame him
Anyway, I remember the same, but some of them have become 3/4+x as expensive for my feeling. I could be wrong tho
He has ~8 or so plugins right? All of those need to be updated each and every release, and he needs to support all of them, which can't be easy & has to take a lot of time, so it could be he jacked up the price so he could do the marketplace full-time? No clue tho, all I can really say is that I really respect his work ๐

That raptor is so horrible
It's trying so hard to be scientifically accurate
And then even its basic anatomy is fucked
Not to mention it's just kind of crap
(And it's not a bloody raptor, actually, despite him saying so in the title, as he also says it's supposed to be a Dromaeosaurus)

thanks for the retweet @rare lynx!

@wooden falcon No prob!

I have an idea that many sellers won't like, but buyers definitely will:
Force discount on deprecated packages
As example if current UE version is 4.16, but asset only supported by 4.15.
MP forces a discount, say 20%. If asset is for 4.14 (2 versions difference) it's 40%.
Max discount wil be 80% for the version that supported by 4.12 (4.11 will have same discount - 80%, and not 100% =))
Each minor version released by Epic once per 4 months. I think that's a plenty of time. 1 year till price will be dropped by 60%.
real dust
Yeah, I do think that that's a good oine
And along with it a disclaimed: "On sale due to deprecation since 4.x"
wooden falcon
would certainly be an incentive to update, but doubt Epic would like to forgo profits
course, would probably result in more sales, so they probably wouldn't have to
tender flame
@wooden falcon My idea was people won't buy assets cause they are deprecated
@wooden falcon also, it's not that hard to port an asset to newer version. Except some programming cases.
vapid tundra
hmm an forced discount isn't the best way imho . Better would be Epic Staff contacting the seller and give'em an time to update the item or said item will be removed.
tender flame
@vapid tundra then, just auto disable the item once it's version is deprecated and send an info ? but what if seller have no intention of updating one, but agree on discount?
delicate dove
sounds good hehe
vapid tundra
I would just take the item of the marketplace if it doesnt work on current engine version.
but thats just my opinon. I'm not epic staff hehe
grave ibex
No - this would create market confusion selling things that simply don't work, and not everyone upgrades to the newest version, someone might want the plugin on an older version for their game that stopped taking upgrades at 4.14, and for them it's still worth full value.
tender flame
@vapid tundra not everyone uses current version, some devs using 4.15 or older
vapid tundra
True.
delicate dove
@grave ibex rule states though that packages should be kept up to date or they will be removed. but they arent enforcing their own rules.
tender flame
@grave ibex um, MP still selling deprecated assets, no?
tender flame
grave ibex
Yeah?
A lot of assets don't even need to be upgraded, and reallistically are never deprecated, like textures and materials
rare lynx
I think the reason packs like that are up there is because the marketplace is manual labor. If there were automation, they could do something like making it where assets are not publicly listed if they aren't updated to the latest version after the 30 day period. Updating the product would allow it to be publicly listed again.
tender flame
@grave ibex yeah...this would create market confusion selling things that simply don't work
@grave ibex seems like no one checking if they are now...see no contadiction
rare lynx
@grave ibex is correct though, plenty of packs on there do not require seller assistance in updating. I've only had to send in files for a compatibility upgrade once, and that was just to adjust the lighting to new UE4 standards. Nothing ever broke in any of my packages.
fervent berry
Hey! does anyone saw any good low-poly cartoon-style rpg/fantasy characters for top-down view? (I know it's pretty specific request, but maybe...)
zealous ibex
There's also things like your MP asset not actually updating
grave ibex
zealous ibex
I pressed versions is compatible with 4.16 probably a month ago, but it was somehow on 4.13-4.15 today? ๐ค
(I used the update function again and it seemed to work this time, I guess I'll have to verify that the update actually worked next time)
tender flame
@zealous ibex well, ofc the issues like that need to be solved first, also, maybe some autoconversion for the assets that does support that?
fervent berry
@grave ibex thanks but all those are environment, no?
zealous ibex
Doubt that'd work, there isn't really a way to automate engine upgrade verification to my knowledge
So the burdon is on the sellers, which is fair
I just really hate that it somehow didn't update? ๐ค
tender flame
@zealous ibex that was my initial idea, it's not that hard to do, just make it once and everyone is happy

If there are an abandoned section of the store, completely sepreate i think it would be alright
but it wouldnt be something id ever show in the normal search results
you'd have to go to the clearence section store
zealous ibex
It's always such a bummer to see abandoned assets ๐ฆ
So much potential, but no updates...meaning all we can really do to keep them "running" is contribute suggestions to forum posts
grave ibex
But having a clearence section of the store, the quality of the abandonment would need to be determined a different way than version drift
e.g. something that broke in 4.14 is probably just as broken 4 versions later
the break might also be trivial
the buyer would hav no idea how broken it was going to be
zealous ibex
And what about assets specifically created for older versions? eg. for example the UMG blurr thing before it got aded to the engine (poor guy). It'd be unfair to force those on sale...for no real reason I'd guess
delicate dove
you cannot really expect people to download any ue4 version thats needed to move the content over to later engine versions though.
grave ibex
Was there a blur widget?
zealous ibex
Yeah I think so
delicate dove
still is afaik
zealous ibex
delicate dove
poor flakky hehe
zealous ibex
It's still pretty relevant for a user who is stuck on 4.14 because their project breaks while upgrading, so forcing a sale on something like this, because it's "old" isn't really fair
delicate dove
then again, poor manny with instalod and a few versions later ue4 releases their own
viral zinc
Yeah someone released the widget of blur after see the stream of new features just before the 4.15 release
zealous ibex
They're stealing the content of our MP items I say 
delicate dove
the thought makes sense for something 4.14. but in a year or so that sentiment is different ofcourse
if the pack is still 4.14 its getting more.. odd
zealous ibex
Not really, aren't some ue4 games still rocking 4.3 or smth?
delicate dove
unless they heavily edit the engine, most clients Ive had so far try to keep the engine up to date for performance reasons.
zealous ibex
Hm true

new versions so much better than old versions mmm ^_^

oh you are using cascade? CRASH

4.13 is the oldest version I support

whats bugless? is anything truely bugless?

after the versions gets branch

they ever fix your payment issue Luos?

merry totem
Has anyone here done a damage indicator hud for first person shooters?
I can almost swear I have seen this on the market place
merry totem
damn because I would buy one right now ๐
merry totem
That would save me some decent time to get one already setup I can just migrate in
All I need is for it to accept floating point variables. The screen flash with directional indicator and for the edges of the screen to become more red as my health goes down
Something dirt simple like that would be pretty nice for what I need right now.
I am kind of surprised this isnt already on the market place
summer jacinth
If I recall, It was actually something super easy to do
merry totem
Yeah its not really all that crazy to do, I will just need to spend time to make it this week
summer jacinth
Basically get players camera forward vector, compare it to the damage vector, transform that into 2d screen coordinates, and then enable an indicator when it happens
merry totem
Yeah it doesnt seem all that crazy.
would still be worth 5-10 bucks for a basic one to have that I can just hook in
If either of you decide to put one of these up on the market place in a simple form let me know ill buy it right away
merry totem
Yeah but this is some basic stuff. I am shocked its not already on the market place lol
It might need to happen just for completion sake
lol
like seriously
real dust
Well, if I did it and submitted it it'd be a month before it's on there ๐
(At least?)
merry totem
damn I need to get my game in as complete a condition as humanly possible within the next month
I am looking on getting it up on steam ect. So I guess I will have to make my own damage screen ๐ฆ

@delicate dove That is a sad staatement, at some point, one would think that someone at Epic would care, if nothing else from a PR point of view if nothing else. A shame, that Steph isn't as available as much, but there are priorities in life, and a baby is certainly much higher on that list, than anything here

true :)
though every time steph steps in she is moving mountains.
we should call em stephsteps

holy crap, $0.75: https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/vega-crypto-blueprint-library
I don't think things are going to work out like he hoped
that's only like, $0.52 after Epic's cut
humble stag
Its a code plugin that has not been updated since 4.14, seems like you can manually move plugin and re-compile it, but I would prefer if I did not need that. I rather buy it at full price when I need it and know it is up to date with with latest engine. I dont think those low prices are sustainable for support. He should really consider to patch up his assets and raise the price. It could be a good product, but at 5$ base price it does not "feel" like a solid asset. And I rather pay 15-20$ for it if I know the creator will give the minimum support of keeping it up to date. The Vega Threading asset seems cool if I know I can still use next year.
gaunt flicker
I miss real time sales data
humble stag
Updated sales numbers in about 20 minutes? I think. (At least on my end)
humble stag
Its not "necessary", but I do agree it would be cool to see the numbers go up during these events.
gaunt flicker
Aye, its more of the fact that we had it but it was removed xD
humble stag
I admit I sometimes refreshed it a bit too often when we had live sales data.
I think the reason they removed it is still a bit odd. That it put too much strain on their servers.
Might be a bit unoptimized calls to the database causing it. And instead of improving it, it was faster to disable it.
gaunt flicker
Aye
Similar to your web scraping, I have a server that has been doing that for almost two years now
Thousands of requests
You'd figure they'd be blocking that instead
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
humble stag
Yeah, xD. Mine updates 4 times a day. That means I do about 19200 server calls every day to read all data. I'll make fewer updates or stop it if epic request me to.
fleet garnet
while there is already a discussion, how much traffic can one webserver with a database survive in a game scenario before becoming unusable?
humble stag
With my limited knowledge, that depends on how much memory every request require, how intensive the database calls are, and how good cache system you have set up.
In other words, you got to stress test your system and see where it starts to struggle.
fleet garnet
Right now I have one webserver, I use it for both my website and my game, website has almost 1k requests per day so I know it can survive that much
humble stag
Yeah, that is about a request every 3 sec on average. That is a very light load. Set up a second computer to throw 100 requests at it every second and then see if it starts chugging.
gaunt flicker
Answering that even relies on the core tech your server is built on
I.e. a vanilla nodejs rest api app will crap out sooner than something optimized for it
Though node is pretty damn good
humble stag
Back to marketplace discussion, I am looking at shopping cart currently at 75$. Do I need it? https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HA1mbZ_MMh8/mqdefault.jpg

QUICK, HOARD ALLAR ASSETS

if anything, get linter :p
makes life much easier
gaunt flicker
Some warning though
If you submit an mp asset and you adhere to Linter standards
Make sure to note it
Not to the public
I mean note it to epic staff
rustic siren
what's Linter
gaunt flicker
You can note it to the public, thats cool
But if you don't tell Epic you're using my style guide, good chance you're going to get hit with a content layout issue
Since I and the guidelines disagree on a critical issue
@rustic siren Plugin that makes sure you adhere to http://ue4.style
rustic siren
yeaaa.. about that
humble stag
Eeeh, the asset I have now is following the ue4.style. Might be one or two things lacking, but it is really close to the document.
ebon leaf
Do epic take that as a good enough reason? I would have thought they'd be like "too bad. Change it"
livid crater
we were using these prefixes and we got asked to change it all ๐ญ
rustic siren
@ebon leaf yep, dealing with Adam atm, he has his own guidelines that are not even live on their website
including his own naming conventions out of his ass
ebon leaf
@rustic siren honestly, this is nothing new =p the public guidelines are always out of date lol
humble stag
I am really enjoying the ue4.style prefixes, makes it easier to deal with customer support
rustic siren
well he denied one of my packs purely just because of prefxies
gaunt flicker
@livid crater Any chance can you send me a list of bad prefixes?
rustic siren
which were like your linter
gaunt flicker
95% of my prefixes come from Epic

@gaunt flicker M_ cannot be used for materials, Apparantly you have to use MAT_ now
gaunt flicker
WHAT
ebon leaf
Also not new -.- epic like being pedantic beyond reason. Except when they don't bother at all lol

For confusing assets, you also have to prefix it WHAT_
rustic siren
Adam uses it

They are declining my other pack now because I don't use Epic skeleton, and my reasoning is because I inluced my own skeleton with face rig

and 140 animations
delicate dove
O_o again sigh..
ebon leaf
Lol. I can't even think of a witty joke reason this time XD
rustic siren
funny thing is, I submitted it 2 months ago, they came back and told me , its need to be on epic skeleton, I stood my ground, gave them my reasoning and they were.
All right we are moving on with your submission.
This week (2 months later) they came back to me again, with same story, Needs to be under epic skeleton
ebon leaf
Yeah. Rules are more important than logic lol
gaunt flicker
I understand the rule if the character has no face bones
livid crater
it's more like they were ok with it two months ago and changed their mind or forgot
gaunt flicker
But if the character has face bones....
rustic siren
Kinda feel like i should just copy paste my previous email 2 months ago, though they migth get an idea that I am mocking them
rustic siren
thinking about it
but first adhering to other things
oh also have to cut out some of my animations
as they are "offensive" ๐ฆ
its illegal to flip a finger in animations ๐ฆ

that's just sad
gaunt flicker
Did you modify Epic's skeleton or did you simply add face bones?
gaunt flicker
There are plenty of characters that don't use the skeleton because it'd be unrealistic for them to

well this character has unusually large hands and a bulky build, he used his own skeleton

Want to contact your customers? You can't
Want to verify someone is a customer?
Wait 1-7 business days

yeah that
if anyone contacted me I just helped
felt super rude to ask for invoice
gaunt flicker
Invoices can be faked
I've had a few people with fake invoices ask for lots of help
rustic siren
in fact most of them just asked the same thing anyways, so I just quick photoshoped a tutorial slideshow how to do shit
90% customers satisfied
bastards could not leave a rating on mp page tho ๐
gaunt flicker
Often times someone would have an issue, I'd say "Please download the latest version through the launcher and tell me if its an issue there"
They'd immediately reply with "oh I fixed it thx"
Or more annoyingly
They'll claim they got the latest version but clearly didn't and only when you press them about it they say their launcher doesn't work
rustic siren
hmm
another fun issue
is if your models have holes
have to admit, they had to look really hard to spot that one

that's the hole
where leg ends / shorts start

That is definitely not the worst offending thing on the mp

Is this not common to do? (Nvm, the rest of it is connected)

people on forums:
"Would it be possible for some enterprising person to dive into the engine code and replicate the previous bloom/tonemapper iteration and sell it as some kind of plugin on the marketplace? Or is how post-processing works too distributed/fundamental to the guts of the engine?"
Not kidding, looking at how many people go boooo on the new tonemapper/bloomstuff.. it might generate some sales.
swift musk
Didn't they say you could renable that with a console command ? If that's the case, quickest plugin ever!
delicate dove
you can set the tonemapper back, but the old bloom and some other small tweaks you cant
so even when you reset it, it wont look the same as before

9 sales, blah
zealous ibex
Not bad
wooden falcon
and no sales of the one they mistakenly didn't add until halfway through the day
zealous ibex
:(
wooden falcon
probably cause people already went through the list and weren't going to go through again :/
zealous ibex
Bummer man
wooden falcon
oh well, at least the sale goes on for awhile
delicate dove
they might a few days before sale ends just to be sure they got everything they need, but yea it sucks
wooden falcon
at least this sale doesn't count towards a pack's sale days limit
zealous ibex
Yup that's pretty nice
wooden falcon
so how did your sale go HowToCompute?
I bought your inv system, btw...still need to download and check it out, but it looks cool
zealous ibex
Thanks man โค
It went pretty well, sold 3 units which is an improvement over usual sales (which are generally low due to it being a pretty competitive market. I may be the cheapest, but there are so many inventory systems out there. Each does seem to excel at something compared to the rest tho, so I guess it comes down to what you need for your project ๐ )
I submitted 3 plugins tho, which should hopefully help me spread into areas that aren't quite as competitive / have a wider audience ๐
wooden falcon
well, you get a 5 star rating from me. Once I get to check it out, I'll write a review comment
zealous ibex
๐ Don't give me that 5 star rating if you haven't checked it out. If I messed something up, I don't deserve it ๐
wooden falcon
oh, I can always change it ๐
sort of like how assholes go to restaurants and go "Here's a big tip in the middle of the table...if you screw up, I keep removing dollars"
j/k
zealous ibex

I'll probably grab your utility materials pack near the end of the sales too, need to figure out a wierd paypal issue I'm having first tho ๐ค
wooden falcon
besides, judging by your current rating, I'm sure it's probably a 5 star anyways
cool! don't feel obligated though ๐ I've been meaning to get your inventory system for awhile
zealous ibex
Ofcourse ๐ But there are some really awesome materials I could use for prototyping ๐ Everything is better than white boxes if you're trying to get feedback from non-gamedev friends ^^
zealous ibex
lol, they're still on the MP?
wooden falcon
are they making so much that the authors are like "Sale, pffftt"
zealous ibex
Yeah, way too high quality to put 'em on sale 
wooden falcon
also picked up a few packs for research purposes
zealous ibex
Yup, that's the only reason I'll ever really buy a BP pack...to learn how it's implemented. (well unless it's a really tedious task lol. I'd also buy stuff if that'd save me hours upon hours of tedious work)
delicate dove
^ which is why i buy vfx packs. see if i can learn a thing or two
sadly most of the time their materials are soooo spagetti

delicate dove
