On that note. I’m the one that started this thread. I’m happy for it to be locked now if need be, its here as a reference for future searches.
I think everyone that wanted to voice their opinions have done so. No one was expecting immediate changes from this thread alone.
The point was to get ideas on how to improve and get opinions from all sides. If creators want to put their prices high then there needs to be better demos and virtual tours. It’s not enough to simply describe it in a paragraph and post a two minute youtube video. What good is the urban set modular building when it takes forever to snap the pieces together and in the end you still end up with the same issues, the pieces are one sided, you can see through the walls from the other side and you can go inside the building and walk through the walls to get out… plus shoot people outside of the building as they run by, but they cant shoot in. Thats not a good system.
Anyway until there are changes overall for the better, if you’d like to post your stuff on the marketplace, low or high price apparently you’re bound to keep it up to date. Good then, at least old packages that no longer work will be removed. I think this isn’t great though, because old packages like ledge climbing system still have value. People willing to put in time to use it and update it on their own should still have access to it and the creator can still profit from it. But the price should for sure be lower if it doesnt work out of box anymore and it should be specified.
If you want to post things for cheaper and sell it off but offer little support or updates after launch, post it in the market and make a thread for it here, but ALSO post it somewhere else and keep the thread alive here so people know it exists and where they can find it if its removed from the marketplace or if its only posted outside the marketplace to begin with.
If you want to post things and only accommodate those willing to pay the highest prices for assets, continue to do so and we all wish you luck making a living here. I highly suggest better demos and virtual tours or pre-packaged mini game showing off your pack. If users cant understand their PC’s are too terrible to run the mini game and thats not a reflection of the package, then thats an example of a customer that would turn into a support nightmare anyway and you dont want them right. If you want to post your pack at lower prices and not upkeep support for them, specify that and post them elsewhere for sale but let us know here that they’re available.
I don’t believe I can add much more constructiveness to this thread so I’m gonna get back to work and not reply here anymore.
Thanks to everyone who joined the discussion for taking the time to help others better understand all angles involved in this entire process. Hopefully some stuff was learned from it!
See ya 'round the forums.
PS: I just watched that supergrid video. Thats a pretty cool tool man, I’ll probably grab that when my gameplay stuff is “finished” and I’m ready to focus more on creating maps. Good job (and price)
