Awesome will be there!

Any update on plugins for the marketplace?
Whats the update on the marketplace seller dashboard?
What are your future plans for promotions, product visibility, & the Unreal Summer Sale? :slight_smile:

3

Code plugins ? When? :smiley:

4

With some free plugin from Epic ? :wink:

5

How far off is a consumer ratings/comments system for the marketplace?

8

It could even be slate based because slate can run on html5 right?

Couple questions about using different builds:

  1. In general, how safe is it to switch my project into a preview build? Is it like a windows os preview where anything could go terribly wrong? Or is it more stable?
  2. Also, what kind of data/functionality should I expect to be lost (if any) when moving a project from an older engine version to a new one? Is there a checklist I should go through when moving from one engine to another to ensure the change is smooth?
10

Are free submissions allowed? If not, what is the lower limit for costs?

EDIT: Here is the Koola explanation:

Thanks guys. Kind of a disappointment but I understand why. Lot of manual work involved and trying to stay uncluttered in the absence of a good search. Looks like I’ll just have to wait.
