BOOM! Explosions Toolkit

BOOM! Explosions Toolkit is now on sale for 40% off on the UE4 Marketplace! Nice time to get some explosions sorted in your game :wink:

Itā€™s definitely more than worth it!!

Multi Guided missiles. 2-5 targets. :slight_smile:

Thanks, as always, for your kind words :slight_smile: Glad you like the pack!

Is this a request for an additional feature or something you implemented yourself? :slight_smile:

Itā€™d be nice to see, but really I guess it wouldnā€™t be too hard for someone to implement I think.

Well, I will be looking to add some new mechanics to the pack in the near future, so Iā€™ll add it to the list to look into :wink:

Only a couple more days to pick up BOOM! at the reduced 40% off price!

On the fence about this one? Donā€™t forget to check out the trailer and give the playable demo a go (available for Win64 as well as for Mac)!

I just wanted to drop in and let you guys know that Iā€™ve uploaded ALL of my products to Gumroad as well as Itch.io.

Why have I done this?

A number of customers have expressed that they wanted to be able to support me more than just purchasing my content on the marketplace. I do have a patreon, but that is currently undergoing a bit of a redesign and changing up all the perks and such, and I donā€™t really like pushing that on people because it feels weird haha. However, sites like Gumroad and Itch.io allow me alternative marketplaces to sell my work where I keep a slightly higher percentage of the sale (as Epic take 30%). As such, for those who are looking for a way to support me a bit more, I will be pointing them to these outlets for purchasing my work, as it makes no difference to the userā€™s wallet, but does result in a little more for me to keep. I have no desire to force people onto these alternate marketplaces, and I will continue to release my content via the UE4 marketplace, this simple offers a few difference choices for end users to pick from.

What is different when buying on the other marketplaces?

There are a few differencesā€¦ Most noticeably, the content you purchase of mine will not appear in the launcher if you go via these marketplaces. Instead you will have ongoing access to a download repository of all versions of the product you purchase that are available. Content will actually be updated more quickly on these alternative marketplaces due to Epicā€™s update procedure (hopefully this will be changing in the future but currently, we have to work with what Epic have). Aside from this, you will receive the same example projects and such as available on the marketplace. In my opinion, as it stands, the UE4 marketplace is an inferior platform to both Gumroad and Itch.io for both sellers and customers, but the UE4 marketplace is far more convenient. So either choice is fine, pick whichever you are most comfortable with!

Iā€™ve given links below to my content on both sites, as well as updated the OPs of all my products with links to these sites. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask away, either here, via my dedicated support portal, or join my support discord! Thanks for the continued support guys and I look forward to sharing future work with you soon!

Dapper Raptor Development on Itch.io

Dapper Raptor Development on Gumroad

Hey guys. Just letting you know that BOOM! Explosions Toolkit has been tested under 4.17 and appears to run and act entirely as intended without alteration. As such, I have gone ahead and marked it as 4.17 compatible on the marketplace, allowing the creation of 4.17 projects through the launcher (Gumroad and Itch.io will receive 4.17 downloads later today, but you can also just use the 4.16 version and update it yourself without any stress). As always, if you run into any issues running under this version, or any other for that matter, please donā€™t hesitate to reach out to me. Cheers.

Hey guys. I just wanted to drop in here and leave a message to inform you that the UE4 forums, in their current form, offer a pretty poor platform for the purpose of support. I have been unable to get response notifications and such to be reliable, and the forums themselves are cumbersome and clunky. As such I will be essentially abandoning the forums and instead concentrating on my own support platforms, which are available here:

Email: support@dapperraptor.xyz
Support Portal: http://support.dapperraptor.xyz
Discord Server: Dapper Raptor

All of my products will continue to be updated, and where possible, new features will be added, so please do not take the lack of posts here as a sign that content is dead. I will probably check the forums every few months, but I would strongly recommend utilising one of the above support avenues to contact me for timely and reliable responses. Thanks!
