They should have only 1 per month but higher quality, even if it's just three assets but high quality, or one asset that is an expensive one like a complete first person template

[@LeafBranchGames]

I agree. Fewer assets of higher quality would be much better than what we currently have.

[@HCGxreaver]

Engine Hall looks nice, the rest not much sadly.

[@LeafBranchGames]

Agreed

[@kellowattentertainment]

I'm disappointed with the quality and variety of these assets. It feels like no real effort has been made to provide a balanced selection. We're constantly flooded with environment assets, while other areas, like animations, are neglected. Even the character assets they offer are outdated and seem like the least impressive options available. It’s frustrating and feels like a missed opportunity to deliver something truly valuable.

[@LeafBranchGames]

Yes. If the assets they were presented were the same people they present as their "featured" sellers, maybe it would feel less cheap.

[@HCGxreaver]

I agree, I wish we would get more animations.

[@Drakuba]

SKELETAL ANIMATED MACHINES! its like creator didnt even tried :D no vertex animation nor animated shaders, but BONES! as if you didnt had enough skeletal meshes in a game already :D thanks for sifting through garbage so we dont have to Leaf 👍

[@LeafBranchGames]

Glad to be help!

[@scinematography6196]

first one I'm going to skip, it's just not worth even putting it in my library to scroll past

[@LeafBranchGames]

It is unfortunate. It would make sense to hoard everything, because you can not know what might be useful in the future. But the vault is not great for finding/managing our assets - which makes your stance understandable for sure.

[@carljthatsme94]

You should get it, you never know what you may need in the future

[@jarnine-d9n]

If you're talking about the engine hall. I just used it in a fps level, it's a nice environment for a fps with all the steam and moving parts. But it be nice to see more other stuff then just assets on their monthly free stuff, still waiting for a weather system. Ue team added the day/night cycle in 5.5 maybe ue 6 might get a weather system in the day/night cycle.

[@azaelsergal]

About your opinion, you have to remember that there's now a lot more users that get access to these free assets which probably means Epic pays a lot more to asset creators to put their stuff for free (unless Epic is underpaying asset creators), and on top of that we're getting assets bi-monthly... Also I think you can't be disapointed by free stuff, I'm always happy to hoard assets, if you want to make a game you most likely don't use free assets anyway, aside from prototyping

[@ryanjdevlin87]

the marketplace was a 5k 1 time payment to the dev, this is a 3K payment. I believe he covered this in a previous video. This is definitely a downgrade

[@azaelsergal]

@@ryanjdevlin87 If that's true, that's a real shame, millions of users get these assets for free and creators are only being paid 3k? No wonder we're getting "low quality" assets

[@Drakuba]

i have so much shit in my vault, and big part of those is garbage i now know i wont use ever. you can bet im very selective even with free stuff

[@azaelsergal]

@@Drakuba I always grab the free stuff, it's sometimes a very good base... I usually end up either redoing the models using the textures or the textures using the models... But yeah some stuff is just there and has never been updated, thankfully Epic said they would be adding a way to hide assets from the library

[@LeafBranchGames]

It is a fair claim! However on the epic marketplace previously an asset that was chosen to be a free asset got compensated 7.500 one time dollar amount. On FAB, this has changed to UP TO 5.000 dollar, depending on some parameters (this link shows their official information on this: forums.unrealengine.com/t/new-sponsored-content-program-on-fab/2092736). So it has actually been lowered.

[@makoado6010]

just another low qulity trash.. maybe the unity users r happy...

[@LeafBranchGames]

Maybe
