Hi! Is it happening to others too? Busy holiday month?
So far its been around 3 days, and in order, and I don’t mean to be panicky but I submitted a few assets in the past few days, but only one got approved, and not the first one I submitted.
Last time its been approved in order of submission. I submitted the first asset 8 days ago, but the one I submitted later got approved instead. And for the last one I submitted, I got the “asset submitted” email two days later, instead of the usual right after “submission successful” notification in Unity.
Anyone else experiencing this, or am I just being impatient, and edgy, and imagining things from pain meds?
Hahaha probably, I’m already paranoid because my first (model) I uploaded got denied and I never even knew why, but this is shaders, so it shouldn’t be denied lol.
Usually you shouldn’t be too concerned until a full business week has passed. Assets frequently take a week before going live, but it depends on the asset. What did you submit? Sometimes smaller scale assets or art assets will take less review time than large scripting/extension assets.
Well the first one got declined just now… Its an asset pack of around 70 Christmas cookies and sweets. No idea whats wrong with it, because I personally consider it better than a lot of things I see on the store. The explanation is ofc the usual copy/paste rejection one. I emailed them back asking if they can be a bit more specific as to how its not up to quality standards.
Yeah, well they need to start posting some kind of rules or something, because I’m depending on my asset to be accepted, it will completely ruin my passion to ever release anything again.
From what I’ve heard, you hardly ever get an email back lol.
Tell me about it, both me and my partner(she made it, I just organized) feel pretty defeated. And I’m not exaggerating, our lives are crap to begin with. So even the “little things” feel big. You wouldn’t believe the amount of bad luck we have if I told you. Last three assets we submitted got rejected. Anyway, I’ll just keep resubmitting and hope life stops giving us the finger, and someone else reviews it. Also gonna try Turbosquid. They take 70% of revenue not 30% tho, but what can you do.
And yeah, I also read that unless its a specific problem you don’t get a reply. Or unless you raise a commotion. Which I don’t wanna do.
Dang man that’s crazy!
But you are right, the little things make you feel more alive than the big ones espically when you’re just starting out trying to make a name for your self.
I almost think it has to deal with ‘Who you know, not what you know’ just like anything else in life.
But best believe I’ll raise absolute hell,
did they make it? NO, did I break the law? NO, does it work? YES.
I mean what else do they want? if it works, didn’t break the law making it, and if they didn’r make it how can they judge it?
I’ve seen absolute crap on the asset store, but yet when something good finally comes it’s thrown out like a hand full of turds into someones face, that’s exactly how it feels.
I just don’t get it, if something works, didn’t hurt anyone, didn’t break the law to make it, why can’t it be accepted?
And not to mention as you said, give a copy paste answer, how about speak to someone as a human being.
I cant understand that they reject yours, which as you said, put some heart into it and let absolute crap go on.
Even stolen content i’ve seen gone onto the asset store.
Yeah quite a few stolen things I’ve seen gone on (namely fps kits). Sell those in the 60-100 ranges.
There was this one guy a few months back who completely took someone elses kit and sold it on the asset store for $100, he didn’t change graphics, code or anything. He even used the same photos to present his asset. Told the author about it and it they took it down.
I’m releasing an asset soon (model), hopefully it don’t take long to approve
I don’t know man. “Unfortunately we don’t feel this submission is quite up to quality standards we hold on the Asset Store.” is what I got. Which ofc, in my opinion, is more than up to the quality. I’ve seen way worse on the store, and way better ofc. Wish I knew exactly what’s wrong so I fix it, and not make the same mistakes next time. I don’t like wasting weeks on something only to be rejected, when time is really of an essence. I asked for specifics so we’ll see.
Personally I hope they’re constantly pushing the standards upwards, so the fact that there’s worse stuff available is by the by - if things are constantly getting better then there has to be worse, older stuff.
But yeah, some kind of published guidelines and quality criteria would be great.
Don’t just keep re-submitting, try to improve whatever it is you’re uploading. If it was declined, there was a reason. You’re wasting the time of the asset store reviewers if you just submit again. I can’t pretend to know what the reason was, but it’s not a matter of luck.
Another got declined just now… Same copy/paste “explanation”. Sort of makes a month of hard work a waste of time. And I don’t feel like making anything for the asset store anymore if its just gonna get rejected without a good explained reason. Whats the point in going on if everything is gonna be rejected with a copy/paste reason.
I need to know exactly whats wrong to improve especially if it looks good to me, and better than what I saw on the asset store while researching, both in quality and especially in quantity.
What should I improve if they don’t tell me whats wrong? They’re wasting my time more than me theirs. It takes far longer to develop/create something than to review it. I can’t pretend to know whats the reason is either, that’s why I want to know. And the provided explanation is not it. I’m sorry but I feel spiteful, and pretty down, and want to keep resubmitting until a more reasonable reviewer reviews it, or until they tell me what I can improve.
