Hello @Amelia_P
Those diagrams are works of Art. LOL.

Hard Assets are ‘core’ assets provided for use in Dreamworld construction and interaction. Every aspect of GODofDREAMS is developed from Marketplace Assets such as the Lobby System, FPS Combat System, HTTP Communications which have been heavily modified, thus may or may not be accessible for purchase on-demand in-game.

Some more Art… ART: GOD of DREAMS Next Gen 3D FTPS/RPG MMO Sandbox & Asset Store powered by UnrealEngine 4. - YouTube
It’s super cool and fancy 
I saw this video on Screenshot Saturday and liked it in there.
Ooops, Forgot I posted it there. I reckoned I need to make a new Artwork. Hows your a ‘Kane & Lynch meets Hotline Miami’ Arena TPS coming along? You still deving solo?
I like the way it is, but I like clean art style, so don’t take my words as the best art suggestion^^
Pretty slowly because my job as artist (means 12 to 16-work hour shift a day). Fortunately, I gave up on my stubborn way to develop a game and went to design smaller and quick levels. The code is simple and it’s almost ready. My problem is still content (graphics) and optimization. Ah, optimization… I discovered I have to retopo ALL my characters, get rid of dynamic lights, etc. I redesigned my levels to support smaller areas. A lot of tough game design decisions.
Unfortunately, I have to. I can’t build a team based on royalty-split because I’ve already sold my IP rights to two companies (for other media). And I have no money right now to hire or outsource expensive things like art or programming. The little money I spare is going to voice acting, sound and some marketplace stuff to speed up the things. I have to finish the demo and sell the investors on it. It’s been rough…
I private messaged TechLord. I am a 3d and 2D artist, and have time i can clear to produce characters.

Acquiring skills during the gameplay, like flying, is fun. Cool mechanic! (Your record video program is slowing down your videos? I’m using Shadowplay GeForce experience and it’s smooth, having 0% of dropping my FPS rate. Many devs said it’s terrible, but it works fine for me).
Thanks for the recommendation @Amelia_P,
I updated my NVidia Drivers and installed GeForce Experience. Sadly, my video card is too old…

Community/Looking for Talent?/job Offerings…?
Aw, so that’s the reason your FPS is dropping. But, you can take advantage of it. If you develop a game with this specs, more players will be able to play your game (you know, not every player is a hardcore player tech head with a 10,000 machine to play games ^^)
I’d love, but it’s out of my budget… yet.

I realize that one would ideally pay fellow developers as they work on a project for/with one, but I’m not convinced that model need always be applied. Assuming it can be agreed upon at the onset of a project, hungry devs looking to get their teeth wet can sink them into a small or medium-size project and agree to a share of all earnings from said project. Of course there’s a risk of the end result not earning much, but ultimately the quality of the underlying game concept and the production of assets, etc., are what will determine the success of the game, and these are very much factors under the control of those responsible for their creation. Anyhow, clicked to these posts from another thread where TechLord had linked to it. Saw this comment, felt I should give my two cents, whatever that’s worth.
