Hey ,
I was never trying to sell as one 50gb file, that was the problem. I wanted the 50 terrains sold under one price but being able to download the terrain packs (5 at that point) one at a time so not to put customers off but unfortunately epics market code only allowed for multiple pack purchases under one price IF you downloaded all of them at the same time (50GB) which i made clear was not an option.
The only reason i was willing to sell the 50 terrains so cheap was because a) I want to help the community of indies on here like me and b) because to make it worth the effort of 4-5 months of work i would have to sell for at least $40 after Epic take 30% and pass tax onto me which they take immediately. If i tried selling the 5 packs at $9-10 each the amount of sales i would have to make would be unrealistic (as like you said you may only like certain maps, you would get a great deal and i would never make a penny. And i started in the first place to try to cover debts of £8000 after being ill for 12 months to try to avoid being evicted by 14th December, Now after all the delays in getting on-line it’s more like £9500.)
So after talking with Epic staff im going to have to sell the 5 terrain style packs separate at $40-45 each pack. But instead of getting just 10 maps per pack ive pushed myself hard to provide better value, instead of 10 maps per pack your get 20-25 per pack ($40-45). So over all the 5 packs if you bought all 5 you would get 125 terrains rather than the original 50 planed. Felt i needed to add extra value for my fellow Indies after being forced into selling separate packs rather than one. Been braking my neck to get the best deal i can for people, but if i don’t make some decent sales (100 minimum) in November it wont matter ill be on the street. Need people to help me out with , and lets face it your not getting a bad deal.
WHEN i manage to survive, The community can guarantee ill be an ever ready force for value content for the future to help out my fellow devs.
Cheers J
