Announcing Fab, an Evolution of the Unreal Engine Marketplace

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 :slight_smile:

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? :slight_smile:

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 :laughing: . 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 :laughing: 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.

Ferrefy: Central UI

Ferrefy: UI Additions

Looks interesting :slight_smile:


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:

FAB does not support plugin dependencies, what now?

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.
