Good information, not seen much about assetstore development on TH-cam. I was really betting on this being the reason you are always so positive about solo dev-ing (because of big bucks from your assets). But it seems to just be oke. Upscalers seem to be a great 'everyone needs this' asset... Very interesting, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing! I have been publishing on the UAS for quite some time now as well and definitely agree with the points here. Never had a mega bundle invite however
I forgot 1 point though, which I’ll rectify in my video this week. I meet so many awesome dev’s, which is really great and inspiring! Yeah, stay away from those!
Looking forward to it @@The-Naked-Dev! Also might share more on my channel about my Journey. Already made a big post on Linkedin, might as well make a video haha

If these assets are graphic objects or music then you have to sell them on Unreal Marketspace at the same time, because why not, two sources is better than one?
Yeah, absolutely! Sell them on multiple stores if that works for you. I decided to keep my video focussed on the Unity Asset Store, but thats a good addition;)
@@The-Naked-Dev I got no plans to use Unity, but I go often on the store to look for assets (mainly 3d charcters) that work in Unreal too. You could have more sales if you would notice in the discription "works in Unity, Unreal and Godot".
I made an asset and the sales suck. Many days I don't even get any views. Usually I get 1 or 2 sales per month. Sometimes I get 3. The most I've made in a month is $84. That was after Unity took a 30% cut. I've pretty much quit working on the asset, and the sales are the worst they've ever been. I lowered the price to half of what I originally had it at, and it's just still not selling. It requires a lot of work because it's a procedural generation asset, and it's just not worth it, it seems.
@@The-Naked-Dev Yeah, and the horrible sales on the asset store makes me question whether or not I want to make a game to sell. I always wanted to do it, but it seems like a big risk. The asset I made took over a year to develop, and many days I worked 16 or more hours. I think that I'll work on a game for years, and I'll do my best to try and get everything perfect, only to be told my game is mediocre at best by the reviewers on steam. That is, if I even get any reviews at all. I'm afraid to make a commitment like that towards making a game and only make $300 over the span of 3 years. Making a game by yourself is hard work and I think it probably won't pay off. I'm not really in it just for the money, I just want to feel like it was worth it in the end, like there is a reward. I'm not somebody who enjoys doing a lot of work for nothing.
@@theonerm2 jep, there are big risks involved… Maybe you can find other reasosn for wanting to make a game, other than money alone. I always try to find at least three ways to “profit” from something. Be it in money, marketing, learnings, community etc.
@@The-Naked-Dev Honestly, all I want is just a little extra money. I already have a good source of income, but a little extra would be nice. I've already bought a ton of assets and stuff like that over the last 6 years that I've been playing around with Unity. It's mostly just a hobby, but I'd like to see it pay off. I worked for Procedural Worlds once. It was pretty cool getting to work with them. I'd like to help others as well if I ever get the opportunity.
@@The-Naked-Dev Haha! It had me shocked for a second. In general, while funny, I recommend avoiding it. It is not a bad choice, but it is a distracting choice. Brings a different vibe to your video. Especially since it is a sound in the vocal range (the viking choir huaah) as you are speaking, the two sounds muddle a bit. I don't want to shit on your video, it is a great and interesting one, please keep making more. Just either give the sound its own room to fully be heard and then speak (if you want to continue leaning into this viking aesthetic). This cna be accompanied with a short montage/video of what you are talking about - in this case either the unity store or some specific assets you have sold.
How does the tax side of selling assets go on Unity Asset Store? I find the Provider Agreement kind of difficult to understand (yay for legal text, I suppose) but I gather Unity doesn't remit VAT to the countries the asset is purchased from for you? Do you get some kind of summary on how much to pay to which countries or something?
From my understanding you don’t need to bother with paying tax in other currencies/countries. You get a monthly report of what you made after unity’s cut. Over that part you’ll have to pay the usual cut to your government.
There is a possibility that you need a governmental document to be able to sell a digital product in some countries, but this is very much dependant on which country you’re in.
Thanks a lot for the quick response! I have a vague sense that I've seen something about an EU law demanding VAT to be remitted to the (EU) country which the purchase of a digital product is made from, in which case you would probably need to know the countries where purchases have been made etc. They don't provide that kind of info, just a summary of your montly cut?
Hi ! I make 2d GUI asset and recently uploaded 2d GUI asset but however this time while publishing it didn't gave me option to add new launch discount? did they removed that option or is there any other problem?
I’ve tried to sell a few, but they never really sold well. And the renderpipelines made it more work to publish them, as you need to create multiple demo’s and materials for birp, urp and hdrp, or you will instantly get negative reviews…
Just goes to show how hard it is to sustain paid assets that a lot of people will want to use/take for granted.
Only the sun rises for free!
@@The-Naked-Dev For now. Give it some time.

Interesting, but shouldn’t the creators just add those assets to the Unreal store aswell?

Sorry, can I do what with a Samsung S9 tablet?
@@The-Naked-Dev because I’m thinking buying one because it’s very powerful better than Apple
can you put your asset for fsr, and dlss on a pinned comment so those who might want it like perhaps i am thinking of having using it
