    we are using the asset store for a game with 50k+ of DAU, the trick to use assets from the assets store (models, textures, etc) is to mod them enoght in order to make them somewhat unique You will save a lot of time instead of doing them from scratch!

    Like video editing, modelling is something that you’ll learn enough of to hack together something presentable in order to speed the process up. Step 1. Sign up for Microsoft Dev Tools Step 2. Redeem 1-month PluralSight Subscription and go through the Maya tutorial path, or if you’re not a student, do the 9-hour blender fundamentals course by Mark Masters Step 3. Redeem 3-month Linkedin Learning Membership and go through the Blender path (30 hours) Step 4. Using the tutorials as reference, spend a few hours modelling your own assets to get a feel for it. Do some basic texturing, work with materials, lighting, rendering, etc. Play around. You don’t have to spend 40 hours watching tutorials. It does help, of course, to know the proper way to do things. But most of your time should be developing your own projects. And you don’t have to spend a cent if you don’t want to. 4 months is enough, even at a casual pace, to learn the basics of modelling, rigging, texturing, lighting, materials, and other necessary stuff.

    I agree with almost all ... but no so much with the avoid characters idea.. they are useful, because you could customize them in some 3d software this way is a lot less work than making it all from scratch, other option is you could use it as secondary characters that populate your game, so maybe you could have more time to focus on your main characters.. and rely the work of background characters to assets(that people quickly forget) Personal opinion.

    The way I see is that Assets from the store are perfectly fine when making a prototype. Don't expect to use them if you release a game. Myself, my speciality is sound. Doing an asset flip is great for me - because I can demonstrate my sound skills in a personalised way. Every sound designer and their dog has done a sound redesign of Angry Bots - but by making something somewhat different using assets, I can demonstrate my sound design skills in some unique way, as opposed to a completed demo game with the sound effects changed. This, again, is not a finished product for general release. But should be different enough to demonstrate my sound abilities. That being said, my current project only has a handful of models I've grabbed from the asset store so far. But lets see how far that goes before I need to grab more resources for those areas I am weak at.

    What might the demand be for 2D assets outside the cartoon styles that appear to dominate the Unity and Unreal 2D asset storefronts? I am working at putting some work on the Unity 2D asset store and will probably double dip with the Unreal store. I would like to hit the sweet spot of offering products that are commonly needed such as icons but seldom seen at the level of detail I intend to deliver (not seen on top sellers). I am capable of creating very realistic icons at a decent pace for weapons, resources, bags, ect. I can also animate characters and creatures in a style similar to full character beat em ups like Skull Girls or Dragons Crown. Simpler seems like it would be more compatible, but I like what I do and I hope that at least with icons I can make my investment of time profitable. I would LOVE to sell animated 2D creatures as well but the reasoning I confront myself with is the problem of compatibility as my art style needs to merge with the product a dev envisions.

    @@alchemynotes Lately I've gone a very character driven route and approached Roll20's marketplace. Because Roll20 has a no free asset policy. Unity analytics showed that the 1 free product I put out averages 1000 downloads a month, which makes me sad because if I charged 50 cents it would not see that sort of attention... but I could make a living on 1000 50 cent exchanges every month, if only. People want free stuff. My priced assets did not see a lot of attention and a year later have been barley worth the hours invested. My failure however, is in not continually pushing that marketplace. My Roll20 marketplace is picking up because the storefront presents growth. I'm a bit too amateur to express solid advice at this point but I'd say build yourself to 6+ products within a few months. If you have older products then repackage them to fit your unified brand and populate that storefront. Also, sell your soul to the twitter devil and advertise your new products.

I've used Unity, I personally don't like it, I see why people do though. I don't plan to switch from gm to godot, but game maker is just not for 3d games and I want to get into it, i cant even make a proper top down because it has to be fully 2d. Well, I can, but its not worth it, its easier to just learn gscript which is like python (which i have experience with). 3d with game maker sucks, it being 2.5d or 3d, like use something else. I will use godot only because of this. if they make 2.5d easier, im going back to game maker and staying there until I get sick of it lmfao

    When to use the asset store: Unity made tools not in Unity for free and some third party tools if you got some mula. When not to use asset store: Anything else, make it yourself it's not that hard! Don't get any models, animations, scripts, textures, effects or already made stuff in general. If you want particles and awesome effects just look at Gabriel Aguiar Prod. and you will get god like effects without trying. Levels and simple props can be simply done in Sketchup by noobs from CSGO. Blender for character models and animations. Scripts, pick one. Quill18, Brackeys, Shane Beck and N3K EN have outstanding tutorials on making many kinds of games to a professional level easily with short and easy tutorials. If you need a stupid fps or 3D camera asset after watching these, you need help.
