I don't believe there's any language requirements as part of the submission (it is an international store after all). Having said that; I do think that whatever languages you advertise a product in you should be able to provide support for. Awhile back I had issues with a plugin where the questions I had just weren't being answered because there was a language barrier and the guy was just using google translate.

Yea you're right. I want to say that's changed since I last checked but the wayback machine breaks because of the way the cms forces a redirect. 😛

Think of something that you think is interesting / useful, make it, pick a price out of the air based on how much similar-type assets cost and how long you spent making it, then watch as no one buys it at all

modern perch Jul 22, 2019, 2:15 PM

#

the cover shot should really only contain assets in the pack

#

that first image is what you'll see in the listings etc

foggy drift Jul 22, 2019, 2:16 PM

#

Yeah.

scarlet spruce Jul 22, 2019, 2:30 PM

#

hmm well

#

probably but it might favor "big" asset packs that are self contained to build a complete environment over smaller modules

#

since the later can't put themselves in a "good looking setup"

#

for sure it should be VERY clear what you get and what you don't though

#

some standard sticker "non contractual photo" maybe 😄

modern perch Jul 22, 2019, 2:31 PM

#

individual assets will just have to make sure they have nice cover images, that's all

#

having a cover image that's 75%+ not your stuff is not okay

scarlet spruce Jul 22, 2019, 2:33 PM

#

it's a hard topic, might be better to just forbid using non asset elements in the main images at all just for the sake of simplicity of rules

foggy drift Jul 22, 2019, 2:39 PM

#

Eh, I think it's about being honest.

#

Like, if you're putting up a physical system and need a demo to show it functionning, you're not just going to post a screenshot of your blueprints right?

@sleek needle The rule is that you may use Epic content as long as it is not the focus of what you are selling. If this was not the case, 99% of all packs would not be legit. Just think about the UE4 Mannequin that is in almost all projects :D
Why dont just write them an email? There are very friendly and quick to answer.

Digital Human eye textures were allowed, but the materials themselves are not to my knowledge

there is actually a thread covering it somewhere on the forums, specifically with respect to the eye shader

elfin plinth Jul 26, 2019, 11:42 AM

#

@spice zealot rules about epic content and ue mannequin are different

#

Afaik mannequin along with other template stuff is free to redist even outside the launcher. But ue only content is not

#

Mixing ue only content with regular marketplace stuff is problematic as regular content can be used outside of ue4

#

I mean if you do that for asset you sell

torpid dove Jul 26, 2019, 11:47 PM

#

So I'm getting ready to submit a product on the UE4 Marketplace and I read this rule that says I have to have a top level folder containing everything. If I try and put my completed project into a new folder will it break everything? This is a complete project not an asset pack. https://i.gyazo.com/e498ae13aae226e83823f2f45448b171.png

You move them into the folder inside the editor, it will adjust all the references?

Then make sure to fix up redirectors

@merry field I've tried moving them into the new folder inside the editor and outside but both cause a super long list of errors. It breaks the references and none of my blueprints can find anything. 😦 How's a man supposed to release something on the Marketplace when they got this silly rule?

merry field Jul 27, 2019, 8:00 AM

#

It's not a silly rule, marketplace content would be unusable if it all ended up dumped all over the place

torpid dove Jul 27, 2019, 8:01 AM

#

I understand it for assets but this is a template project. It's not to be added to an existing project

#

Can I migrate an entire project to another? Maybe that would work?

It's like no matter what I do all of my blueprints "ForEachLoops" break and need to be totally redid which will take forever.

Hey guys: Introducing a new pack from yours truly - The Targeting System.

The Targeting System is a complete solution for customized, directional targeting in UE4. Designed from the ground up for ease of use, all of its functionality is detailed in a single, plug and play component.

It uses the AI Perception System to perceive targets, and sorts the targets onto 3 categories:

the most ideal actor to target immediately;
actors to the left of the targeted actor;
and actors to the right of the targeted actor;
thus enabling you to switch targets clockwise and anti-clockwise: to the left and right.

There are several options for customization available to the user and exposed on the instance of the component for easy, quick tweaking, some of which are:

Use Actor Rotation/Control Rotation;
the margin of error for sorting targets;
Use Delta Rotation or Arc-Tan Difference;
Auto-Switch Targets;
Show Widget For Lock-On;
Class To Filter Perceived Actors To;
and so on.

Now on the Unreal Engine Marketplace: https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/the-targeting-system

Dean Ashford (@Play_Ruff)

Hey @amandambott I don't wanna be that guy, but one of the @unrealengine free packs you just announced has my work in it! The magic circle has 4 runes around the edge... D, E, A, N... I did it on purpose... Here's the screenshot, and the source. Please help me...

😡🤬

modern perch Aug 2, 2019, 2:27 PM

#

ergh

#

his HUD elements are from GameIcons.net too

#

which is fair game for commercial use, but CCBY 3.0 requires attribution, which he hasn't done

delicate dove Aug 2, 2019, 2:32 PM

#

must be great to give those semi-pirates 7.5k for their content

#

wonder if they even bother, or bother to get the money back

modern perch Aug 2, 2019, 2:34 PM

#

the problem is now you have to question how much of the content in this pack, and the other four packs of his can actually be used :/

#

some of them have a lot of buyers

delicate dove Aug 2, 2019, 2:35 PM

#

that, and free packs are downloaded 50k+ times easily

shadow inlet Aug 2, 2019, 2:35 PM

#

And we've already had the texture swapped out.

modern perch Aug 2, 2019, 2:36 PM

#

already swapped out?

shadow inlet Aug 2, 2019, 2:36 PM

#

As soon as Dean reported the texture, we contacted the seller and have updated the pack.

delicate dove Aug 2, 2019, 2:37 PM

#

so instead of banning someone who clearly breaks the rules, just a friendly "replace texture please?"
I find that somewhat odd.

but allright

elfin plinth Aug 2, 2019, 2:45 PM

#

well, those free sites are always risky

#

people just upload stuff they've found online and consider they are doing others favors

#

I've seen this happen and every time I point out people can't do that, people get pissed off at me 😄

#

so, if you want to play safe, better not grab anything from these sites

#

(doesn't help in cases like this tho)

#

but yeah, people who make marketplace content don't always understand even basic legal things

modern perch Aug 2, 2019, 2:48 PM

#

game icons is made by a small group of people

#

it's a pretty good resource tbh

elfin plinth Aug 2, 2019, 2:49 PM

I dunno, for actual game art, it would be nice to do it from scratch to make sure it's unique

stock things can work fine as placeholders tho

or if you do stuff just for kicks / use for protos etc

@ebon leaf Can you please link to your marketplace page?

lilac thunder Aug 5, 2019, 3:23 PM

#

Hi everyone,
does anyone knows what is currently wanted/needed at the marketplace?
I want to create something useful, next to an mocap animation pack i am working on atm, but most of the stuff is already a thousand times on there 🙄
For example I worked on a inventory and item pick up toolkit with hotkey functions and a item bar but fully customizable since all the logic is stored in a single actor component and a function lib but i just dont know if its worth it spending so much time at assets which are out there in mass.
So would like if some of you have any ideas or opinions about this or even a special wish 😄

wooden falcon Aug 5, 2019, 3:33 PM

#

heh, the marketplace has thousands of packs...I'm not sure anyone knows "what is needed" at this point

#

and there are tons of inventory blueprints at this point :/

merry field Aug 5, 2019, 4:14 PM

#

I've suggested before that a "list of things people want" would be nice

#

But no idea where to make such a thing

#

Easy to name things that are missing from the Marketplace, but not if anyone would buy them if someone made them

lilac thunder Aug 5, 2019, 4:16 PM

#

Yes thats what I thought 😕
So maybe it s just try out and see if the requests are high enough 🤷

#

@merry field can u name what is missing in your opinion?

merry field Aug 5, 2019, 4:18 PM

#

One thing I noticed was missing, though I have no idea if anyone else would possibly be interested in this, (it's just something that I myself would like to use at some point) is a really nice lava effect

#

And that proves the exact problem I mentioned - I know it doesn't exist, but only know of exactly one person who might buy it

lilac thunder Aug 5, 2019, 4:20 PM

#

@ebon leaf yeah thats something what is really specific and needs a lot of background knowledge to realize this

#

@merry field sounds like something useful.
I find that there are a lot of anination packs out there but they are mostly general and many are looking for some more specific packs.
thought therenight be something witj BPs still missing

merry field Aug 5, 2019, 4:23 PM

#

There's a bunch of stylised lava stuff, but (IIRC) no realistic lava effect which has the full effects like particles, little explosions, sloshes

#

I don't really know about animation packs, that's not something I've really looked at myself

#

I'd consider making more blueprint-type stuff myself, but the last pack I made has sold exactly one unit since I launched it in May, so I'm a bit disillusioned with the whole thing (though I didn't advertise it as much as I should have)

lilac thunder Aug 5, 2019, 4:27 PM

#

I searched for some climb and hurt animations but they are as said mostly generalized for ladders and stuff.
so i started to do animations with mocap on my own.

#

Dont know how selling works on marketplace yet but maybe start with free and then change price once you added and changed content of the packs

merry field Aug 5, 2019, 4:30 PM

#

A random suggestion might be picking-up animations, I don't see a pack for those

#

Again, just a random thought off the top of my head, I have no idea if anyone would buy it

abstract pilot Aug 5, 2019, 6:28 PM

#

I would say what is missing is the same thing that is missing from Unity, comprehensive characters with a wide range of armors and looks that also have matching environments of the same style

lilac thunder Aug 5, 2019, 6:40 PM

#

Thanks thats something I can probably do

ebon leaf Aug 5, 2019, 8:13 PM

@lilac thunder 2 and a half hours of highly effective market research. i think you missed your calling. what i need is a horse. i think i saw a few on the marketplace but nothing near to what i envision.

lilac thunder Aug 5, 2019, 8:15 PM

@ebon leaf how soon? Maybe I can pull something 🤔
Animals are way easier to model but harder to rig

ebon leaf Aug 5, 2019, 8:18 PM

dec 31 2022 is the tentative deadline 😜 i brought it up because when i looked, the options were not good. the hardest part for my horse, is making it respond like a horse and not a hover board.

lilac thunder Aug 5, 2019, 8:22 PM

#

Hover Horse🤔

#

but as said maybe its something i can try 😁 maybe detail me in privat what you are looking for exactly 😁

ebon leaf Aug 5, 2019, 8:27 PM

#

will do. if i give you my design i would not want it on the marketplace, but if you made a marketplace one i think that would be a good idea. if you want to work on my horse i will add you and hit you up when i have more time.

is this true?

And Mixamo for animation rigs which you can then apply to the characters.

If not you'd have to either create your own, or pay someone else to do the work.

A bit late for this, but I always just find 3d models online from like turbo squid or another source and just rig them myself. I know its not an easy fix but rigging is a LOT easier (to do on a basic level) than it seems.

Hey guys I'm looking for something to make creating a landscape material more easily than creating these myself. Ideally I'd like to import a World Machine heightmap and feed some information in through there. Do you think I'd be better off just using slope masks or something to get some basic painting done and try expand from there or would it be worth using something like brushify or auto landscape material V2? I heard that they can have some serious performance hits but that's all anecdotal so I'm wondering what your thoughts about those solutions are! Also if there are any other solutions you know if I haven't bought anything yet so I'm still open to any suggestions!

#

I'm looking to develop in VR so performance is definitely a concern but if people with performance problems were just enabling too many bells and whistles then I can just try to tweak some settings to my liking

E.g. Mid-August for June

marketplace bug report?

#

installing a custom engine from source wont allow me install a marketplace asset with the same engine number

#

which really sucks because i need the 4.22 version which has the updates

lilac heath Aug 14, 2019, 8:39 PM

#

There's a tick box to select all engines

quasi blade Aug 14, 2019, 8:39 PM

#

no no n ono no

#

you misunderstand

#

i know that

#

📎 unknown.png

#

i want 4.22

#

it supports 4.22

#

but i have a custom engine built from source

#

that happens be version 4.22 as well..

#

and therefore

#

pressing create does nothing, but if I choose 4.21

#

it works, since i dont have any source version of 4.21

#

no tickbox

📎 unknown.png

#

tried restarting launcher, restarting my computer

#

nothing

lilac heath Aug 14, 2019, 8:44 PM

Sorry I misunderstood. I thought it was the add asset to the project.

Custom engines have never shown for me .

quasi blade Aug 14, 2019, 8:45 PM

yeah it shouldnt matter

? i want to install the marketplace asset

actually i just seen someone had the same issue, it appears to be a bug with the marketplace asset

lilac heath Aug 14, 2019, 8:50 PM

#

Hmm interesting .
I know you probably want me to shut up now. :)
What I used to do for 4.16 ( yes I'm still innthe dark age)
Make the source build project from with in the ue4editor.exe from inside the binary folder .
Then when you add an asset there was a check box to show all versions that returned the source built engine projects

quasi blade Aug 14, 2019, 8:50 PM

#

haha nah its all good

#

i know what you mean

lilac heath Aug 14, 2019, 8:51 PM

#

That's gonna suck if it's broken

quasi blade Aug 14, 2019, 8:51 PM

#

i dont think its the issue from what i seen the other guy has the same issue using "stock" ue4.22

#

its the asset itself

#

that is at fault

#

ill just wait(ive contacted the maker), trying to add some vehicles to my game, i'll just start with an atv for now...

lilac heath Aug 14, 2019, 8:52 PM

#

It might be allriggt to just copy from 4.21 to 4.22 depending on the asset type

quasi blade Aug 14, 2019, 8:52 PM

#

nah there is a specific update

#

that he did

#

on 4.22

lilac heath Aug 14, 2019, 8:52 PM

AHH poo

#

lol

precisely converted the driver to ue4 mannequin rig

anyways thanks for trying

i just installed another asset on 4.22 so its definitely not what i said about the custom engine built from source

Thats up to you. I decided to create a studio name as it looks more professional and might get more people to download your asset. But its all guessing really

@rapid silo highly recommend using mp4 instead of gif, outside of some weird storefronts they should be supported and give you more quality/mb 🙂

@daring raven I will do a big documentation video in mp4. Its just to show the functionality of the features, and I think gif is great for that since it auto plays and works good on mobile as well.

Let me tell you a horror story about Marketplace. Once upon a time there was a:

4K Texture
It's HDR (Float-32) Format
It's a GRADIENT ffs.
It's for Grass foliage meshes?!?!!?
It's 132MB of GPU VRAM?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Save a life. Audit your marketplace assets.

#

I'm not 100% sure as I think this has been in the project a while, but it's in a folder called ProceduralNtr_vol2

Reaching out to the creator (I think) so they can fix it

I live in the US so using a bank account wire transfer would be the best option for recieving funds from the Marketplace correct? Paypal charges a fee doesn't it? I want to get all my money not just some. I assume the wire transfer is the same as getting paid at work, where they just deposit the money in my account right?

merry field Aug 23, 2019, 12:21 AM

I believe Epic pay the PayPal fee

Because the amount on the statements (and also the amount calculated by total sales * 0.88) is exactly equal to the money received by PayPal

So according to the Marketplace guidlines I have to release my product on the latest major engine version. So I take it that's 4.22.3? I ask because I just updated my project from 4.21 to 4.22 and am experiencing FPS lag issues. Everything seems to work fine It just feels laggy.

rapid silo Aug 24, 2019, 11:50 AM

@torpid dove correct. It needs to work on version 4.22.3 at least

#

And yes, you can change the name freely 🙂

torpid dove Aug 24, 2019, 4:26 PM

Ok Thanks. I figured out it wasn't 4.22 that was lagging my game down. It was Chrome using up cpu even though it wasn't open. lol So now everythings good. I can update my project to 4.22 and be good to go. 🙂

@@torpid dove If it's a built in plug in you should be ok. Unless you are distributing steamwork content with it that you would normally need a steam developer account to access, Then you will be having issues.

Yeah

lucid osprey Aug 26, 2019, 1:33 PM

#

the difference mainly is syntax.

left crag Aug 26, 2019, 1:33 PM

I need to learn c++

lucid osprey Aug 26, 2019, 1:33 PM

#

it certainly helps

modern perch Aug 26, 2019, 1:33 PM

if you're doing anything half decent in BP, you're already at the point where you can write code, heh

left crag Aug 26, 2019, 1:33 PM

#

I just haven't tried it with ue4

#

I have done a tad bit of c++ but only the very basics

#

Can you earn a decent amount from the marketplace or is it fairly spontaneous when somebody purchases your stuff.

daring raven Aug 26, 2019, 1:36 PM

#

yeah BP are just pretty drag and drop C++

left crag Aug 26, 2019, 1:37 PM

They just have more baggage

#

It is like the food shop, if you do it with children you get all this extra unneeded shit.

modern perch Aug 26, 2019, 1:37 PM

some people made some money from the MP once upon a time

Children being blueprints

modern perch Aug 26, 2019, 1:37 PM

#

but I don't know if anyone has managed to do it consistently

daring raven Aug 26, 2019, 1:38 PM

#

I imagine those earning decent money (I'm assuming synty, rexard, etc) are also selling on other storefronts

#

and not doing UE specific assets

left crag Aug 26, 2019, 1:38 PM

#

I could just make my old project again?

modern perch Aug 26, 2019, 1:39 PM

#

dunno if either of them are doing well on Unreal marketplace tbh

#

but their content is easy to port

#

so it doesn't cost them much to put it there anyway

daring raven Aug 26, 2019, 1:39 PM

#

yeah it's probably still a fraction of their unity sales

left crag Aug 26, 2019, 1:40 PM

#

The asset store always seemed a decent idea

Just after i became able to submit i haven't touched it 😂

Regarding the comments about trading assets: EULA, Section 4. Regardless of any references Epic may make outside this Agreement to purchasing or selling Paid Content, Paid Content is licensed, not sold, to you under the License Paid Content being defined as: “Paid Content” means Content made available to you through the Marketplace for an additional fee, including but not limited to Paid Plug-ins.

#

As the assets are not sold to you, you can't trade them

merry field Aug 26, 2019, 2:29 PM

#

I think you could make decent money if you made a lot of good assets

#

But that'd be talking 30+ assets packs

#

On their own, each makes some money, but you'd need a lot of packs to be able to live off it

left crag Aug 26, 2019, 2:32 PM

I don't wanna live off it tbh, i just wanna upgrade my desktop as it and my laptop are outdated by a bit.

Is anyone here living off MP income?

north stirrup Aug 26, 2019, 2:33 PM

#

I could but not even on the MP yet technically

merry field Aug 26, 2019, 2:33 PM

#

I've made enough on it over a year to build a high-end PC, tbh

#

With just one good asset pack

tender flame Aug 26, 2019, 2:33 PM

#

@north stirrup voxel plugin sells that good?

north stirrup Aug 26, 2019, 2:33 PM

#

It sells yup

modern perch Aug 26, 2019, 2:34 PM

#

voxel plugin strikes me as one of the better faring assets on there, yeah

north stirrup Aug 26, 2019, 2:34 PM

#

And well with a 300 dollars price tag you don't need much sales to break even

tender flame Aug 26, 2019, 2:34 PM

#

yeah...kinda expensive for me...just to play with it

north stirrup Aug 26, 2019, 2:34 PM

#

:p

#

I see the game dev market as few clients but ready to spend a lot

tender flame Aug 26, 2019, 2:35 PM

#

i'm thinking to make some MP assets, found a niche that's quite empty on UE4

north stirrup Aug 26, 2019, 2:35 PM

#

nice

merry field Aug 26, 2019, 2:36 PM

#

I think if you have a good asset that people want, isn't too niche, and isn't too expensive, you can expect to sell maybe 100-150 units

north stirrup Aug 26, 2019, 2:36 PM

#

100 units isn't that much

tender flame Aug 26, 2019, 2:37 PM

#

Voxel Plugin is attractive cause Phy is here, it's maintained, and you may have "exclusive" dev support if needed 🙂

north stirrup Aug 26, 2019, 2:37 PM

#

And it's voxeeeeeeels

merry field Aug 26, 2019, 2:37 PM

#

But enough to buy a high-spec PC if that's all you want from it

#

And if your pack is maybe $10-20

north stirrup Aug 26, 2019, 2:37 PM

#

Oh yes sure, I meant that you can expect to sell more

merry field Aug 26, 2019, 2:38 PM

#

Depends how common or niche your item is, I guess

tender flame Aug 26, 2019, 2:38 PM

#

also...you may get a deal from Epic to make it free for a month or permanently

modern perch Aug 26, 2019, 2:38 PM

#

I keep meaning to pick it up myself, but haven't had the spare budget since moving to Germany, heh

north stirrup Aug 26, 2019, 2:38 PM

#

tbh, it wouldn't be worth it

modern perch Aug 26, 2019, 2:38 PM

#

c'est la vie

north stirrup Aug 26, 2019, 2:38 PM

#

Unless Epic brings a lot of cash on the table

tender flame Aug 26, 2019, 2:39 PM

#

my niche is common among indies...

modern perch Aug 26, 2019, 2:39 PM

#

if it went free for the month, you'd have to close the support channel, heh

merry field Aug 26, 2019, 2:39 PM

#

The monthly ones are listed as paying $7,500

north stirrup Aug 26, 2019, 2:39 PM

#

Well I already have a free version too

merry field Aug 26, 2019, 2:39 PM

#

We have no idea how much the permanent ones get paid

north stirrup Aug 26, 2019, 2:39 PM

#

Maybe I could get them to pay me 7.5k for it lol

tender flame Aug 26, 2019, 2:39 PM

#

@north stirrup for you maybe...generally it's $5k for a month and $15k permanently

north stirrup Aug 26, 2019, 2:40 PM

#

yeah def not worth it for me

#

But it's a niche expensive product

tender flame Aug 26, 2019, 2:40 PM

#

@north stirrup also, that means eternal support w/o money inflow

merry field Aug 26, 2019, 2:40 PM

#

Did they change it? The article back when they first started free assets said $7.5k

north stirrup Aug 26, 2019, 2:40 PM

#

I had 7.5k in mind too

tender flame Aug 26, 2019, 2:41 PM

#

i may be wrong

north stirrup Aug 26, 2019, 2:41 PM

#

Yeah like getting a permanently free deal means no update anymore IMO

#

Like why bother

tender flame Aug 26, 2019, 2:42 PM

#

i.e. release V2.0 and abandon the free one

north stirrup Aug 26, 2019, 2:42 PM

#

hehe

tender flame Aug 26, 2019, 2:42 PM

#

yeah, it's a thing to consider for Epic and the Seller

north stirrup Aug 26, 2019, 2:43 PM

#

I don't think Epic really cares hehe

north stirrup Aug 26, 2019, 3:23 PM

never!

no still not

yeaaaah the next set of things I sell completely on my own I'mma do completely outside the marketplace

I'm not recommending others avoid it

theres just a bunch of stuff I want to do that I simply can't do on the marketplace

merry field Aug 26, 2019, 9:15 PM

Do you think you'll get many purchases outside of the Marketplace? It's kind of the first place people look

daring raven Aug 26, 2019, 9:38 PM

#

@gaunt flicker plugin dependencies in your case?

gaunt flicker Aug 26, 2019, 9:43 PM

#

That and update management and issues with the launcher and actual linux support and promo codes and better video integration and better customer list management and blah blah blah

#

Will I get many purchases outside of the marketplace? Honestly I don't care

#

I can sell zero on either platform

#

so I'm not worried

merry field Aug 26, 2019, 10:07 PM

An actual Linux launcher would be nice

gaunt flicker Aug 26, 2019, 10:11 PM

I have a shell app that lets me download mp assets on linux

#

needs some sprucing up tho

#

too busy with really dumb shit to do what I want

merry field Aug 26, 2019, 10:20 PM

A launcher to actually install UE4 would be a nice start

#

Having to spend hours re-compiling it each time is a joke

real pendant Aug 27, 2019, 7:24 AM

How many would want a code plugin that modularizes singleplayer inventories, belts, factories, miners, and nodes. For say a couple bucks? (bad prototype of some of these things for experimentation)

the problem with asset marketplaces

@stiff talon Kubolds animations are nice but unfortunately they're not very consistent. You keep finding variations that are missing, some packs have leaning/crouch and some don't etc. If that's okay then I can recommend them.

@tender ruin nah Im usually fan of making stuff instead of buying, but I bought some assets aye, just not too many to have experience with this one for example 🙂

there are many comments and ratings on this one

should be pretty "safe" + its not expensive especially on sale

grand crane Aug 29, 2019, 6:00 PM

#

@stiff talon Half the price huh? (I can't see it as I already have it!) Maybe. Depends how good you are with the animation tools and what alternatives you have. I also had other packs which I combined with. But $30ish isn't a whole lot I guess.

stiff talon Aug 29, 2019, 6:02 PM

Fair enough! I appreciate your responses!

@tender ruin I own that pack and it works well. I’ve integrating the base building into my own projects with minimal difficulty and it’s easy to expand on as you learn how it all works!

Hello. Can somebody suggest a music pack on marketplace, or anywhere similar to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3gF2cxBCB8
I have a traditional japanese styled map in a comic shooter game, this music would be perfect for it, but I want it do the legal way :)

Supergrid starter pack is permanently free now? Guess it's time to make supergrid pro pack

wooden falcon Sep 1, 2019, 5:37 PM

#

damn, another Sale where I don't make a sale :/

#

except for my free pack, that's selling hotcakes...volume!

merry field Sep 1, 2019, 5:43 PM

#

How many packs do you have up now, @wooden falcon ?

#

Stupid question, I can just look on the Marketplace. Seems to be five.

wooden falcon Sep 1, 2019, 5:44 PM

#

4 or 5 I think

#

5

merry field Sep 1, 2019, 5:44 PM

#

4 + 1 free I believe it is

wooden falcon Sep 1, 2019, 5:44 PM

#

yah

#

it was a good run while it lasted, so I'm not all that upset

merry field Sep 1, 2019, 5:45 PM

#

Just checking mine, seems I sold 3 of one product and 1 of the other

#

The second being impressive since that's only the second unit that's sold in total

wooden falcon Sep 1, 2019, 5:46 PM

#

hehe

merry field Sep 1, 2019, 5:47 PM

#

I should probably make more Marketplace things

wooden falcon Sep 1, 2019, 5:47 PM

#

I sell more on sketchfab nowadays

#

a few $ here or there only, but still more than UE4 :/

merry field Sep 1, 2019, 5:48 PM

#

I wouldn't have the artistic skill to sell art

#

But code is of course always going to be engine-specific

#

Especially if you're using Blueprints

wooden falcon Sep 1, 2019, 5:48 PM

#

yah :/

merry field Sep 1, 2019, 5:50 PM

#

I think would be interested in small things that are a little bit fiddly to set up but not really very complicated

#

Just sold really cheap

#

One thing I was thinking of was simple blueprints for doing scene capture to UI

#

It's not hugely complicated but a bit fiddly to setup

wooden falcon Sep 1, 2019, 5:52 PM

#

I'd love to work on something with a bit more meat to it, like an environment, but I think that would have to be a personal project

#

don't think it would be worth it for the MP

#

sales just seemed to crater completely (for me) after my free pack

merry field Sep 1, 2019, 5:55 PM

#

There's so much free content now that I suspect a lot of people just aren't buying any more

#

why buy when you can wait a while to see if it goes free?

wooden falcon Sep 1, 2019, 5:57 PM

#

yup

#

hell, I do the same thing...I hardly buy anything on the MP anymore

vapid tundra Sep 1, 2019, 6:00 PM

#

thats one thing i said before. i think the sale mentality (and now the freebies) makes people hesitant to buy stuff

#

granted there are also a lot of subpar items at offer but still...

real pendant Sep 1, 2019, 7:15 PM

#

If you want to compete, maybe showing benchmarks in some way for an optimized high quality plugin for a system of sorts is the way to go.

#

Which means c++ though. But i'd rather deal with that personally.

#

Even the things inside the engine could be replaced with something more specific or optimized. Example the navmesh or the physics system.

#

Or a fancy voxel engine that's decent quality like what some people are working on... Would be very very awesome.

#

I don't mean minecraft style.

#

I mean like where the blocks are way smaller and are optimized to draw differently depending on distance to look pretty highly detailed.

tired rune Sep 1, 2019, 7:37 PM

#

All, I have a legal question re: usage of items bought on marketplace. Do you know where I can ask?

elfin plinth Sep 1, 2019, 8:10 PM

#

depends on the question

#

could try asking here first @tired rune

tired rune Sep 1, 2019, 8:18 PM

#

I have bought quite a number of marketplace items. I did so as an individual, since no company was involved, to start building my game. Now, I am creating a company to finalize this game and sell it. I want to ensure that I do have the rights of using these purchased items in this company, since all receipts are done on my name.

merry field Sep 1, 2019, 8:21 PM

#

I think that's fine, because any person who works on the game can buy the assets and use them in that game

tired rune Sep 1, 2019, 8:35 PM

#

so as long as i am part of the team

#

that’s somewhat weird though. if i were to leave the company then..? not that i plan to btw, since i’m the sole owner.

elfin plinth Sep 1, 2019, 8:50 PM

#

technically the assets are tied to you personally, I'd say read the terms fine print yourself for this

#

one thing to note that you can't like add company to your existing epic account as they don't allow license transfers (that would have been too convenient)

#

the legal text says: You may only Distribute the Licensed Technology as follows:
c. Distributions to employees and contractors - You also may Distribute Content (other than Paid Plug-ins) to an Engine Licensee who is your employee or your contractor who does not have rights under their license to the same Content, but only to permit that Engine Licensee to utilize that Content in good faith to develop a Product on your behalf for Distribution by you under the License, and not for the purpose of Content pooling or any other Distribution or sublicensing of Content that is not permitted under this Agreement. Recipients of such a Distribution have a limited license to use, reproduce, display, perform, and modify that Content to develop your Product as outlined above, and for no other purpose.

#

which implies you can only share the paid plugins with employees and contractors, which you don't have with your personal account

#

marketplace FAQ however states this:

Can I share products with my team?
Yes, you can share Marketplace products with your team but only for the limited purpose of the project that you are jointly developing. Content pooling or sharing products between developers outside of your organization is prohibited. Team members also cannot use products in an unlimited fashion for their own projects.```

#

EULA hasn't clearly been written to take this kind of use case into account

#

and I wouldn't be surprised if it were done this way on purpose, hoping that when people found companies they rebuy everything

#

@tired rune

#

anyway, legal text is there, you can interpret it how you want I suppose

#

asking this from Epic support will not make you any wiser either as they are not legal people

merry field Sep 1, 2019, 8:58 PM

#

I hate legal documents

#

I'd say that there is nothing morally wrong with using your own things you've bought yourself in something you've made yourself, but of course laws are not based on morality

#

But who's going to sue you? Epic?

tired rune Sep 1, 2019, 9:00 PM

#

yes i read those thank you @elfin plinth that’s why i was asking here...

elfin plinth Sep 1, 2019, 9:00 PM

#

yeah, it's definitely kinda grey area

merry field Sep 1, 2019, 9:00 PM

#

If Epic did sue you, that would be absolutely terrible PR

#

Though, to be fair, Epic seem to enjoy terrible PR

tired rune Sep 1, 2019, 9:00 PM

#

that said they do allow you to set a company name in your account.

elfin plinth Sep 1, 2019, 9:00 PM

#

I'd guess you could just ask the asset publishers themselves for permission

#

I mean, it's not Epic who would sue you, they just sell it for other people

tired rune Sep 1, 2019, 9:00 PM

#

so that’s even grey-er

elfin plinth Sep 1, 2019, 9:01 PM

#

@tired rune but you can't add company name to account once it's made

merry field Sep 1, 2019, 9:01 PM

#

So the asset-maker would sue you?

tired rune Sep 1, 2019, 9:01 PM

#

yes you can

merry field Sep 1, 2019, 9:01 PM

#

That's even less likely because there's absolutely no way to know who has bought you asset (as far as I know)

elfin plinth Sep 1, 2019, 9:01 PM

#

you can?

tired rune Sep 1, 2019, 9:01 PM

#

yep

elfin plinth Sep 1, 2019, 9:01 PM

#

that definitely wasn't possible before

#

oh you can

#

I guess that's changed then

tired rune Sep 1, 2019, 9:02 PM

#

📎 image0.jpg

elfin plinth Sep 1, 2019, 9:02 PM

#

yeah, I see the field now

tired rune Sep 1, 2019, 9:02 PM

#

i mean

elfin plinth Sep 1, 2019, 9:02 PM

#

but I don't think that was an option before

tired rune Sep 1, 2019, 9:02 PM

#

honestly: i bought assets to do this game. taking it to next level now building a company.

elfin plinth Sep 1, 2019, 9:03 PM

#

yeah, it's pretty common situation you've found yourself in

tired rune Sep 1, 2019, 9:03 PM

#

yes

elfin plinth Sep 1, 2019, 9:03 PM

#

I have personal assets on ue4 marketplace too

merry field Sep 1, 2019, 9:03 PM

#

I suspect that Epic in general don't really care for that kind of "single person making an indie game" case

tired rune Sep 1, 2019, 9:03 PM

#

so the terms being a little loose... not sure what to think.
