Hi everyone
Want to share my latest project for Asset Store
Modular Houses - is a fully interactive house building pack with full interiors and the ability to walk inside. You can create a entire neighborhood with the endless variations. The package will contains over 200 modules.
Features:
Modular Exterior and Interior
High resolution models and textures
Over 200 Modules
Demo scene
Road,Stairs,Fence modules
9 Pre-build houses included
Lightmap UVs
Would be great to know if anyone is interested in such pack and also to hear ideas or suggestion how it can be improved.
Screenshots(Please note it is working progress stage)
Well kind of like these images. If you walk around this neighborhood it feels filled out. There are shrubs, potted plants, gardening, street lights, power lines, mailboxes, parked cars, and a bunch of stuff that really sells it as a house in a neighborhood. Now you are offering a modular house system so I understand that is it’s scope. I was just referencing maybe making a nice neighborhood scene for the demo or marketing aspect. Just to kind of “sell” it more.
I guess these images feel “lived in”. If you look at those images of yours up top it kind of looks like a zombie apocalypse has happened and no people are actually living there any more.
Yeah no big deal. You have some VERY high quality artwork going on. The finishing touch will be filling it out so it looks “alive” or rather “lived in”. Man once you have that going for you in your marketing images and YouTube videos you will sell so many of these packs we’ll all be wearing golden diapers. (Apologies if you don’t know that reference)
PS - You can grab other free assets off of the store to populate around your scene if they fit the art style…and it works as a great cross promotion with other Asset Store artists and sellers!
Ah use Reddit, Imgur, YouTube, Twitter…put up pretty screenshots of any demo scenes you build with it. Do video developer logs on YouTube. People aren’t going find someone they don’t see. They won’t see you in the Asset Store unless they literally search terms like “house” or something. They will see your stuff on YouTube though or Reddit. It’s a second job marketing your stuff, but the more you do the more sales you get. You are already linking your assets in your Signature which was what I was going to say next. For some reason, with the signature link, when I am active on the forums posting elsewhere and commenting I see more sales on my Asset Store stuff. Just be active a little each morning on the forums too.
Yeah you are right, marketing is the second thing to do after the actual asset, I am from UE4 store, its pretty new and all you need to do to get a visibility is to just release the asset and it will go right on front page.
Do you have some links maybe? I was able to find only the r/assetstore/ with around 100+ users
Reddit - Dive into anything has like 72k users at the moment. Post screenshots in there and videos just showing off scenes. Don’t list a product for sale in there, just show off a video. Then in the video have a link to the asset store listing. Same thing with Screenshot Fridays. Share screengrabs of your artwork. People will end up asking if its for sale on the Asset Store. You won’t really have to spam the Subreddits with “sale” listings either.
A very beautiful asset, as I have spoken by email with its creator is still necessary some minor adjustments and addition of a greater diversity of complements to keep the neighborhood more alive, but I still like it very much, I await updates.
Want to share wip screen from the upcoming update that will add module to build a Lighthouse, also I am working on on a Church module but its in early stage and not ready to be shown
