Hey guys! Just wondering why my product is not sellable on MP maybe the price is too high or anything I couldn’t catch as a seller to point out and include in my product. If you mind to give your feedback I would appreciate.
is the link - ://.unrealengine./marketplace/en-US/product/scifimalecharacter

is really the wrong place to ask . I would be better to start a new post.

However I’m sure it’s the price. At that level no one is going to buy it on a whim. You have cut off 99% of the market which are hobbyist very small indies. It a very low you are going to find someone with that kind of money to spend (bear in mind a game would have lot of characters so they would need a good budget) and also that their game needs that character exactly. It’s a nice model but your audience is so small it’s going to have trouble finding anyone.

Personally I think if you were to slash the price to around the same as other similar characters, then you would make up for loss in the individual sales in volume.

Then it a question of getting it seen. Unfortunately I think the most eye would be on it at the point it was added.

Hey all!

I’m a Game UI Artist by profession, and I’ve managed to gain some additional time on the weekends, so I’m thinking about offering my services through the Marketplace.

Are there any assets / packs that you might find useful for your projects? I’m thinking more of generic assets, rather than bespoke. Perhaps within a few art styles? For example, I know icon packs are quite common already on the Marketplace, but something similar that wouldn’t feel too similar/recognizable across multiple projects.

Anyway, any ideas, let me know :slight_smile:

Glad you ask! I think many devs would be happy to see a fully-fledged UI-System for the Main Menu of a game. An example of that would be the Code Vein Main Menu and Title Screen (Code Vein has been made by Namco using UE4) with all the nice fluff like animated text, cool 3D background and such. 's a video of what I’m talking about —> ?v=yPUqt2mZ0dU (title screen). I’ve also got footage of the options screen and more (made some videos of inspiring main menus of some games just for my own studies. Cheers.

For any publishers listening out there. I only purchase Modular Audio Visuals and Network Replicated Logic.

@EnterpriseCustomr If I could make such an AI system that could learn from just a few playthroughs, I would probably make all my money predicting the stock market, not selling it for dozens of dollars on the marketplace :slight_smile:

You know what we’re missing? A set of mix-and-match medieval RPG character gear. Helmets/caps, chestplates/leathers/tunics, greaves, leggings, boots/sandals/barefoot, and so on.
Some number of mesh pieces that all go together. They don’t need to fit vertex snap tight together – you can have small bands of some body mesh slightly inside the armor spots in all the normal ā€œseamā€ locations (waist, neck, wrists, ankles, etc.)
Bonus if there were also morph targets for ā€œemaciatedā€ vs ā€œmuscularā€ vs ā€œobese.ā€
Ideally all rigged to the Unreal skeleton, and ideally-ideally, in two or three genders, or with a morph target to go between male - neutral - female.

I happen to know from past lives that character art is super costly to build, and swappable pieces even more so. But one can wish?
Maybe I should apply for a super grant to build , and then use all the money to outsource the actual character modeling and base textures :slight_smile:

I’m still curious if someone is working on something or even just thinking about it?

Google’s got you covered. Apparently, the model, once trained, can run on a single PC, but it’ll probably take most of your GPU just doing that…

With UE5 around the corner the visuals for the metaverse are pretty much nailed.
[/]

I heard that when the TNT2 came out, and even tried to build the metaverse for a few years, with funding and everything, but it didn’t work out. Generally, I don’t think it WILL work out as a mass adoption technology, at least not until we all click cables into our heads.

SMART AI could sample heatmap data of locations players like to frequent and use that to prioritize where AI should go.

I actually think you could capture fragments of 1-4 seconds of control input, and chop 'em all up, and adversarial-train reinforcement-learn some model on how to string various of those bits and bobs together to make successful, or at least interesting, AI players. It all depends on how much you think AI players is worth investing in for your game – given that the world is full of II (Internet Intelligent) players who are already looking for a match…

Strange that not good car drifting system, where would be car selection, drifting mechanics and some kind score system

I’ve been doing a lot of tutorial stuff for virtual production (seewww…/user/GregCorson) but it’s really hard to find good content that is redistributable, so I can legally include it in a tutorial project I’m giving away. I would really like to see Epic put up a little content that was licensed so it can be used in tutorials and LEGALLY given away as part of a tutorial project.

I know wants to get paid and keep control of their content even if it is free. But anything where redistribution was allowed would certainly show up in a TON of tutorials so it would be a great way for an artist to get some publicity. Most people right now use the engine starter content in tutorials, though there are a few I’ve seen redistributing some stuff from the marketplace which they really shouldn’t do according to the marketplace FAQ.

As I’ve mentioned elsewhere on the forums recently, in my opinion, the biggest weakness of UE4 is the netcode, if you’re working on anything beyond traditional shooters/action games.

My favorite genres are fighters, beat em ups, and racing games. Yet all 3 of those genres have issues with UE4’s built in netcode that haven’t been solved.

Fighters/beat em up’s are not favorable unless they use a rollback netcode implementation. There’s no packages or examples of rollback netcode in UE4, and GGPO has been open source yet to my knowledge nobody has been able to get it successfully integrated in to UE4. Several developers have expressed problems getting rollback netcode working in to UE4 because of issues with UE4 performing deterministic, and/or getting rollback working properly. With some of them choosing over UE4 for these reasons. For example, the developers of Killer Instinct and Power Rangers: BFTG.

Then with racing games, the UE4 vehicle systems using PhysX are not ideal. Bluemanphysics attempted to solve problem, but never performed well. Then FGear is now currently trying to solve it, and I hope they manage to soon (as I already purchased FGear), but they’ve expressed the difficulties due to PhysX. I’m not sure anyone has actually solved without switching to Bullet physics, but there’s no popular integrations of that in UE4.

If there was any marketplace packages solving either of these problems, it would be an instant buy for me. It just seems crazy that UE4 is so well featured overall, yet in the area of netcode, it’s very limited in terms of the styles of games you can make without having severe amounts of issues.

Compared to what game engine shipping with networking built in?
Photon is worse.
RakNet is worse.
Lidgren is worse.
ENet is much lower level.

Maybe Roblox? Roblox networking is actually pretty ā– ā– ā– ā–  for what they do, because they network literally tens of thousands of rigid bodies, yet levels load reasonably quickly.
It’ll be interesting to see if networked Chaos will get in that same ballpark!

As I’ve specified, I’m specifically commenting on non-typical FPS/3rd person action games. Using the examples of fighting games for rollback netcode (as used in fighting games), and driving games.

Regarding fighting games:

Delay-based netcode is simply not accepted by players. It technically ā€œworksā€, but there’s a reason that once Covid hit, these games are no longer playable in the competitive scenes, and the only ones that actually are thriving in the current climate are GGPO-based Rollback implementations. You can read more about it : ://.ggpo.net/

means typical corrections you find on authoritative servers is unacceptable, and delay based netcode is unacceptable. Both have been tried, and proven to not perform well in practice.Even ā€œstrongā€ delay based implementations such as Dragon Ball FighterZ, you can take a look in to their communities and polls and see the #1 complaint is the netcode.

The requirements (as mentioned in the coverage of GGPO) typically need full determinism in the engine. is a huge obstacle in UE4, and to my knowledge, no developers have solved problem yet.

problem has been solved in , and you can use Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid as a perfect example.

You can also refer to Keits, one of the developers on Killer Instinct, recently posted on Twitter about difficulties of implementing style of netcode in UE4.

Regarding driving games:

As documented : ://forums.unrealengine./unre…15#post1754655

There’s no known implementations of client side prediction that perform well using the vehicle system yet with UE4. The only ones who have been known to have it were by switching to Bullet physics (such as Rocket League) and that was with UE3 and not UE4. In short, is a problem that has yet to have been solved.

Regarding both of these genres:

The common denominator is both have problems that haven’t been solved as of yet in UE4. UE4 can’t easily be used for either of these genres, which in my opinion, is a huge setback. I’m honestly a bit surprised as to why is in question, as it’s near impossible to make a multiplayer game that performs acceptable in UE4 in the current state.

Isn’t a limitation of online games in these genres something that should be improved upon? If not by Epic directly, then by either a community effort and/or developers on the marketplace that would be interested in trying to solve these issues?

Hello, I’m quite new …

One thing I need at the moment is an A.I. Blimp

Looking around the Marketplace I notice there are a lot of foliage options, none for a desert/arid landscape though? Landscape materials maybe, but not optimized shrubs for an arid climate.

is when someone points out that deserts don’t have grass, space…

Hello, I’m a music creator. I sell my stuff on Bandcamp, I’m on YT, and a couple other places. I’d like to sell some of my work on the Marketplace as I think some people would find value in it.
So…
I’m all set up to sell, but (me not being a game developer) it states I need an Unreal Cue file. Is there something generic I can use for ? I can’t see downloading, installing a 20gb+, and learning a new program to possibly sell a few music packs.
PLEASE ADVISE! :slight_smile:

A Slay The Spire like template would be nice! Any information on would be greatly appreciated…!
