Earn a LIVING selling GAME ASSETS

Create and sell game assets in game-engine stores and on your own website. I am giving tips in this video that helped me earn a living while developing my indiegame for 4 years. I hope this video can help those of you who are considering to make and sell game assets.

If you want to use the palette style UV coloring method, I go through that in the above-linked videos.

Additional info:
I've been modeling in Blender since about 2015, but more recently in the past few years. I've been making games and assets in Unity since 2011, and I'm currently working on a multiplayer RTS game called Line War.

I use a Sony FX3 camera with a Sony FE 2.8/24-70mm GM lens. My primary microphone is now the Shure SM7B, and I use a Rode NTG3 shotgun mic if I need it to be out of view. I downgraded to a Focusrite Solo from my wonderful RME Fireface UFX II that I had to sell when I moved from Sweden.

Thanks a lot for watching and sharing my videos :)

As someone who started modeling after watching your videos and is now publishing on the Asset Store, I must say that this is one of your best videos so far. Thank you for inspiring and guiding me on this creative journey!

I'm using universal sound fx in almost all of my game projects. Perfect sound fx solution. And it still gets updates! Congrats and thank you for that!

Anyone thinking about selling 3D assets, I HIGHLY recommend reconsidering. The market is oversaturated as it is, and there are complete studios of professional artists you are going up against.
Things that sell are tools, advanced shaders, animations etc. You'd even have better luck selling courses over selling 3D assets.

I made quite a bit of money selling rpg maker sprites. But then other people started doing it, the audience of the game waned and now I get very few sales. But I also moved on as well! I’m still selling my old ones, but I do something else now. I also did postcards on Etsy and that was exactly the same, made a bomb then barely anything. This is why I won’t tell you what I’m doing now 😬. And you shouldn’t either! Look for a gap in the market, milk it until other people realise and then get out - best advice for you! Good luck!

A couple of years ago when I first bumped into your channel (those 10mins modeling challenges are a treat!), it took me a long time (months of you will) to realize that you were the one behind the sound fx packs that I had been using already for so long from the Unity Assets Store.
Thanks tremendously for all the things you do, plus all the knowledge share, ranging from infinitely affordable to the great price tag of free.

It's very smart to start selling shovels to people trying to digg for gold when you are the first one to do that. But if there already are a bunch of people all trying to underbid each other to try and sell you a shovel, maybe you should just go and digg for some gold instead?

I bought one of your original space sky box collections which inspired me to offer custom sky boxes as a service for a while. I've been spending a lot of time modeling within Unreal Engine using primitives and a plug-in. I am an actual retired building contractor and that has helped me to create some really unique modular kits that I want to sell on the stores. This video is encouraging, thanks!

Keeping 18K out of 49K seems just wrong. It's not a level that can be called "tax" but "robbery".

This is seriously one of the best videos about game assets and selling them. Absolutely underrated, would give 10 thumbs up if I could.

“they gonna take our jobs!”

If you’re not as talented as someone sending 3 sentences to a computer you deserve to be replaced.

I started making apps/games on your assets and I did good money...still, after the years I have some income. Thank you very much for your work and support !!!

I'm quite succesful in selling game assets, and I think these are some good tips: 1. make assets that don't require updates (3D models, textures etc.) 2. needed by many 3. you are better at in making them than most of the other creators 4. something that is customizable so people will not notice that a game developer simply bought it from a store.

Although I am a full-time actor and know nothing about gaming, I absolutely loved your video. You present such helpful information and deliver it in an honest and easy-to-understand way. I see why you are so successful. Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge with others.

[Sergey-qves]

This is my new favorite channel! Since i'm a beginner and for now I'am mostly dig in technical stuff this videos are quite refreshing and informative.

Music vs Visuals ---> Consider this:
- it makes 0.5s to see and know if you are interested in a 2D/3D asset, so you can zoom through a lot of them to find what you want, and immediately buy
- it makes 50x more time to consume and make a purchase for a song, so you will push/make all these purchasing decisions at the end.

Therefor, the speed to convey the content is also an important factor. This is particularly applicable to plug-ins too.

Sir, you and luckily many others like you have taught me something I needed to hear at the perfect time. Thank you for making this gem of a video. It is motivational, helpful, easy to understand, and you have great personality

[cgungm]

So insightful, plain language with little industry jargon, and you cut to the chase! It makes me want to return, watch more of your videos, and learn about your process. Thank you!

[ArthurDoze]

Amazing video.
Really good idea using your own creations for representing what you are saying :)

[lajoARTIST]

This is one of your best video. I always tell my son to look at his skills and see how he can market them. Then when you combine doing what you like and making a living from them you have now enter the zone of --- it is as good as it gets

[Shredonus]

Thanks man for the tips! I'm returning from time to time to your music, especially to BeatBall OST... 20 years ago... my childhood, and BeatBall music ahhh, thanks man, for that music too, and memories
