Epic only seems to focus on VR and mobile these days from my perspective view of the engine updates… And a lot of us have no interest in either of those things… Most VR and mobile games are gimmicky, and focused on making lots of money instead of a joy for gaming…
Is it fair to say I think my wishlist will still be the same 10 years from now, when the majority of updates for Unreal will still have a focus on VR? I’ve been a member since 2015, I have not seen any hint of anything on my wishlist ever coming true. I was one of the types saying to myself, why even bother posting about it, noone probably cares, and I’m sure there were others like me who don’t even bother to post about it because we feel there is no point since we aren’t a triple AAA company creating terrible mobile or gimmick games to take people’s money. All that being said I’m still grateful for Unreal Engine, and I believe it is the best 3D Engine available.
My current wishlist.
- Improved Multiplayer game Support, especially for MMOs. (So many Unreal Marketplace assets can’t even be used in a multiplayer game as they lack replication! This also means less people buying said assets and Epic making less money because of it.)
- Increased world bounds for massive multiplayer games without bugs like the breaking down of physics or malfunction of meshes.
- Approval of Unreal Marketplace assets faster.
- Better quality control over Unreal Marketplace assets. There are some in there that need to be fixed and should be removed until then.
- More gravity options, for instance a placeable volume that alters the gravity amount within it, as well as an option to reverse the gravity direction within said volume in whatever direction you like. Also mesh based gravitational pull.
- Remove the upvoting and downvoting of posts both on the forums and marketplace as it seems pointless.
- Remove rule for not having nudity on the marketplace as there are many good models that customers could use in their games.
- Notify Marketplace authors of when they have a new comment/post about their assets.
- Add a customer support forum page for each asset(on its page) on the marketplace so customers have a better way to get help from an author besides the very limited comment section.
- Encourage and aid more content creators to put their free assets on the marketplace instead of on the forums amongst shady or broken weblinks.
- Implement features in the engine akin to Voxelfarm’s voxel landscape so we don’t have to resort to third party plugins, and websites that are not on the marketplace.
