Unreal Powered "Core" Platform Now Monetized. Earn Money Making Games With Core 

This engine does not allow you to import custom model or texture. The integrated modeling tool in the game is garbage, how can anyone can create serious game with such limitation.

to land that job you will need 5+ year experience in Roblox.

Core is better then rb

@@awttygaming2510 except core requires higher system specs that may draw in older gamers that expect more from games.

I would say its to protect them from being inside a court room too much when people decide they should have more % because they did all the art, or music, or whatever. Its not so ridiculous to me. Its pretty logical.

@@broganking9830 As a dev and as an artist why would I use a platform where I cant bring my own stuff? Makes no sense. Also everyone will pretty much have the same thing so no divertisty of content

@@MR3DDev You don't have to use it. Its clearly designed for artists. Its designed for aspiring young developers looking to get their feet.

Or people looking to make a quick buck on the side. If I could whip up a small shitty game in an afternoon and start making a passive income from it I think I'd be into that yeah.

@@broganking9830 Learn programming. Asset artists are cheaper than a dime a dozen. Programmers who know what they are doing are worth their weight in gold.

Or at least a creation tool. Nothing for audio

Interesting take. I suggest you take a look at it now, it was quicker than expected because contrary to what I thought, I ended up with a very limited engine with a crying lack of a content editor. I may have missed the more "high level" concept, but I thought that with a name like Unreal Engine behind it, the level of flexibility would be there. I think there is a market for a middleware product, between a full blown Unreal Engine and something like dream & co. But in the form of Core it's still very immature.

Do you feel like saying what kind of income is possible on Roblox? And say that Core figures things out in terms of payment (keeping in mind that this product is still in open alpha), do you think this platform has a bright future or will it flop?

Do u recommend it? I really want to learn

Out of 30 games I found one that was fun and well made. Not looking very good so far.

@@shawns4354 Then make your own.

Actually I am, in Dreams. A survival game with farming and crafting. Zombies meet stardew Valley meets Animal crossing. I have most of the survival mechanics, inventory and crafting logic completed along with assets. However large open world games are not very possible with the low memory cap. That's why I was looking here.

@@shawns4354 Oh, no Core is more about simple games. And a market place where you're not competing with everyone and their dog's app. Yet.

From what I recall, there are transition abilities and what you are asking for could be done in Core.

Yeah, I guess ease of use with a bunch of included content. Also I guess them attracting players kinda brings them to your game - potentially vs someone trying to find your game on Steam. It’s interesting but yeah, maybe better efforts spent on your own stuff. But the more options for developers and content creators the better.

That is true, you could like create some simple games and earn a crap ton of money because there’s no competition really

It’s going to release on mobile though....

They actually have pretty powerful modding and compisition based tools in the engine. While it would be better to work in Max or Maya or Blender, their tools are actually pretty capable of making quite unique results.

@@gamefromscratch you did play with it, how are the animation capabilities of the tools currently available? How is the rigging process?

No custom UI or audio

I've been using it for a few days. As mentioned in my other comment, it's a great idea apart from the obvious problems with the unrealistic monetization scheme (the reward-for-plays thing was just temporary and by invitation only), the "everything-belongs-to-everybody" model and the fact that you can only make one style of game, but the answer is NO - as far as I can tell, there is no way to create new assets or even basic primitives. And as far as "powerful modding" is concerned, unless you mean scaling and kitbashing of existing 3D objects and "community content", there is literally NO way of creating your own assets from scratch (neither in the editor itself nor by means of importing them) and they have publicly stated (in the form of a comment on one of their own videos) that they have no intention of ever making it possible to import assets to the Core editor, so I guess you might as well learn UE4 for now - a valuable (and transferrable) skill with none of the limitations. The only downside of UE4 is that you have to market and/or fund your own games, which for a lot of game devs is a bigger challenge than anything else. The "Feedback" section on their Discord is apparently also just there to make users feel like their suggestions matter since nobody there ever seems to reply or even monitor it (maybe they do but there is no way of telling). Pity though, it seems to me that including basic modelling functionality would would have be the number 1 thing they could have addressed at the very beginning, instead of hyping their community content and kitbashing "features", which after a few hours of use becomes extremely frustrating due to the obvious limitations that kitbashing implies.

I view Core as more targeted at game developers than Roblox. It feels much more like a game creation tool at the end of the day, like a really easy to use game engine, as opposed to a modifiable platform. Monetization though is the key to success, building that in from day one is important. But yeah, ultimately you can tell Roblox was the number one inspiration and or target for the core team, that much is obvious. Got imagine their elevator pitch was "It's like Roblox but..."

​@@gamefromscratch Without any means to import custom assets -- it's not a gamedev platform. Yes, I understand the reasons behind( to save Core ass from courts and other copyright violation issues), but there should be some way around. Unity, Unreal and many other asset stores( even tiny stores) are able to deal with the legal issues, so Core has to find their way too.

@@krukhlis stop gatekeeping. one aspect of game development ever since video game was born is doing things within limit. In this case, its the assets limit(and others). Be creative with whats available

@@blazkify The last time we stopped gatekeeping, we got people who believe the Last of Us 2 is the greatest game of the year and Ghost of Tsushima is for Alt-Right racists. I don't feel convinced with Core and I'll just be fine trying to make games and assets without it.

@@krukhlis Well, you don't understand the reason behind then. 😑 Once you actually start playing around with it, it'd become clear what the ACTUAL reason is. And no, it's not copyright violation issues. Hint: If you're on Win10, think Microsoft's 3D Builder.

Yeah, really didn't / don't like the title because it's got that vibe too it. Struggling to come up with a better one. I tweaked it slightly... it's tricky because I can't assume people know what a Core is.

Roblox or Core? Non of them, but I think someone made a plugin that works like that on Roblox but it has bugs.

Give it time. Roblox was just like that if not even worse. As time goes on and more people join and get better at the engine, the games are also gonna get better

@@Hyvexx Yes ofcourse, I'm sure the quality of user content will go up over time. I was more talking about the base game itself. Like the character animations and stuff. Hopefully it improves too

Weren't they also quite expensive? And if they offered 25% , they would get small bump in sales, everyone else would just pirate it.

Lua's cool

and it requires pretty high end hardware to run comfortably

@@Maxb0tbeep like what?

@Stacy J why don't Microsoft use Windows in their Azure servers then?

Unreal runs on pretty much everything.

@@TheAndrejP This is true. When I had to buy a new rig to run that evil win10, I uninstalled Vista from my abacus and installed UE4. Runs great

I'm using 5, it is a different UI but is designed to be familiar to users of 4. I can't show you under NDA, but honestly I don't know if the difference will be wide enough for you. I think it looks great, but I never had issues with 4's design aside from the colour scheme.

@@lpnp9477 Do the icons look more modern?

@@yoman9446 it is all new art
