I just wanted to thank epic for saving me of the $500+ I used to spend every marketplace sale. It’s so difficult to find anything, that I’ve bought like 2 products off it since it launched. Thanks guys. A true devolution. And I’m doubly thankful for the lack of improvements since it launched.
Don’t hold your breath, but I just saw something that looks very like a bookmarking system…
Update: It works. You can book mark on the front page, and see them in FAB app page
Evolution? I cannot even register to sell deliver my products there…
The whole interface needs to be designed by a professional UI / UX designer. Why that hasn’t happened to begin with is an absolute mystery.
Is this legal?
Wow it looks like they are using actual Spiderman screenshots from the games promotion, are the animations ripped from the game as well?
I’m beyond surprised this listing got approved.
This slippery slope is turning into a free-fall.
Either the seller is licensed to use the trademark / designs / name “spiderman” etc. or FAB doesn’t check . If it’s the latter, people could literally post AI created clones, mark them as “not AI generated” and even mark them as “allowed for AI to collect”. Now that’s something. Currently waiting for my first plugin to be listed on FAB. Honest and hard work programming. Market seems flooded with generated / stolen / low quality stuff, needs to be fixed.
About a year or two ago I offered updating the forum design to epic and I think you and me shared “photoshop” sketches of how things could be improved in public on the forum? Well, that entire thread was deleted by someone silently never got feedback or notifications.
What does the plugin do?
My plugin? First one is free, common utilities. Just a (very) thin layer used as dependency in the plugins I release later. Contains the stuff that is 99% common (methods for math, logging etc.).
Here’s the documentation for it which I put online already:
Ferrefy: Utility
Got to get new plugin listings approved on FAB one after the other when one depends on another’s code… so that takes some time waiting for FAB to respond. If you wonder about the other stuff coming soon, their documentation is online as well. I’ll list two most useful UI upgrades of mine, there’s more on my website to be seen though.
Looks interesting
On the Spidey front:
I think if that was the case, the whole thing would be peppered with copyright notices.
Thanks for flagging. Product has been removed from sale, and we’re investigating further.
Well, just more work down the drain. How do you not get a burnout in this mess:
Call me a f***ing idiot for not doing the spidey cashgrab I suppose.
Spidey is no more…
I sympathize with your quandary.
I see a lot of vendors making their own sites.
FAB is getting better ( bookmarks, after a search it’s possible to order by something ), but has a long way to go: search still doesn’t work for things that literally have name X.
Hey i would like to thanks for Whislist method!, Please make site sort “hide owned” in Price window or Preferences - to hide bought things already. That would be really cool to grab free assets without scrolling all list based on release date.
There still need to be comments and question section - would be cool if there would be support and faq after ticket completion how to fix problems in assets/plugins , maybe community tutorials to help buyers and sellers to improve products = counts more sells and popularity on the product - i know they are discords - but official way is the thing which can motivate and fixed things can be implemented listed in faq , pushed to updated and managed by the seller. So clients could see it is worth to actually to buy something- cause of activity and how to get real support .If FAB is the one place , that should be deilvered to customers.All the best!
They actually added, already more than one month ago, an optional “forum community post” and sellers who activated it were also able to merge it with the old mandatory forum thread the old marketplace had (on mp the seller had to add it manually in the product description, now it’s all automatic).
It’s not the old Q/A section that was quite limited and badly organized imho, but a full forum post where buyers and potential buyers can discuss with the seller without need for an external service.
It’s linked near the product title, rate like shown in screenshot
Is it still possible to link the old forum thread to a product? I only see the option to create a new one.
To link the old one to the new one, you should write support and ask them for it. It’s not automatic, as explained here
Decided to make my post a constructive feedback one.
These are all valid points
