Free asset packs for subscribers!

[@GDevelopApp]

Sorry if there was any confusion about what's happening in the video, please don't make any assumptions about the worst case scenario. The credit system isn't going to replace the free tier of the engine at all, it's a feature that will give people access to online features that would normally require a subscription. Extra exports on top of the daily free exports for various platforms, for example. Hope this helps clarify a few things. 👍 -Wesley

That was the most stereotypical corpo text ever ...did ChatGPT write that? I'm sorry about the confusion too, there are clearly a lot of confused commenters believing this is a good thing. Oh nooo you poor confused thing... "don't make any assumptions about the worst case scenario" because we will be the first company in history introducing scrip currency without the goal of fleecing more money out of people, pinky promise bestie 😉 No no no, in fact, it's a GIFT! Didn't you see the giant gift 🎁on the thumbnail, that means it's true. Companies are known for making gifts just out of the goodness of their hearts Hope this helps clarify a few things. 👍 So patronizing it's disgusting 🤮 Clearly y'all want to turn this into Roblox, but with Robux they at least came up with a unique name for their scrip. Credits?! That's the most uninspired name ever. Could've called it G-g-g-G-g G-Units 😆🤑 But what ever, bye. 👋 Have fun deleting this.

Why is everyone complaining... Is this not better for the free users? You can get free asset packs and stuff from participating in game jams from credits now. you can still export 1 free build a day, and then publish the game, i see this update as an overall w, unless im missing, which i dont think i am, im just confused😅

Indeed you can still export a build a day for free on Android, Windows, macOS, Linux. And other exports in HTML5 with all the source code are unlimited and free aswell. - Bouh

It was just really unfortunate timing to release an update and not the most careful phrasing mentioning free accounts, after the whole unity fiasco people are understandably very on edge about any sort of pricing change on their engine of choice, Gdevelop has never acted in bad fate, but a lot of new users (again from the unity exodus) have already had a terrible experience with princing and model changes so its understandable of people to assume the worst.

This really adds a lot of value to GDevelop subscriptions! We can use the credits to buy assets or to help market our games. Thanks for these new capabilities!

[@AngeloAnderson646]

I’m not really understanding all the hate this is getting honestly I think it’s a pretty great system. First you can use it like how you always have for free and the free tier is pretty much the same. But now if you have any subscriptions to export your game multiple times a day or maybe you earned it in a bundle like I have in the past it just gives you a little extra with getting that subscription if your already paying for it. Also gives people in game jams and other events just a boost, I love the marketing idea if you give some credits you earned while being subscribed for the features that you already paid for you just get that much extra to use on different stuff. Another thing is if you just want to pay cash and get asset packs and things from what I understand that’s all viable it’s just a mere bonus to paying for a subscription. But then again you can use the engine for free like you always have?

I believe that you can add it to the wishlist

[@overtyrantfear]

I probably have 5000+ hours using gdevelop overall, hm. The value offered is nice but confusing. People who are passionate about making games are probably more likely to be extremely perceptive and negative towards any addictive game mechanics and have probably seen this alot and know where it leads almost every time. It's always felt that who pays your bills and who your power users are are not the same. Maybe there is a way to leverage this without adding friction in the power user base? I moonlight as a freelance pixel artist, I am not really ever going to buy assets, I have been making music as a hobby for decades, programming ect ect and I would rather just export it myself than pay a monthly subscription and I wouldn't pay any other company either(I would love to pay a one time fee up front for the record). Maybe some kind of smooth beginner focused task based system I.E : new user puts up a bounty for x task to be accomplished(in the IDE), it gets fulfilled, house takes a cut, a small amount goes to whoever fulfilled it? idk. I really really like this low skill floor engine but I doubt anybody who makes lots of games has much tolerance left for this kind of abusive monetization strategy just on the face of it

[@GDevelopApp]

I totally get that, any system has the potential to be used poorly, but I am hopeful that this will be a net positive for everyone. People with a subscription will get freebies and credits they can use to help advertise their game, but then people without a subscription will be able to make a one time payment to get credits to get access to some of the features that would otherwise require a subscription, without any recurring payments. And it'll be something else we can give out as a prize for community events and gamejams, which I think will be fun. 👍 -Wesley

[@Unfunny_Freak]

what's up with the coins in the thumbnail?
