Entry in the Something Fun (and / or random) #03 theme on BudgetPixel.

Question: If I made full fledged character models available in the Marketplace, is this something anyone would be interested in? I have maybe around 150 unique character designs that I've yet to put into character sheets. I would just wonder if my designs would be interesting enough to warrant spending the extra credits.

i don't see people publishing their marketplace characters in blogs except mine. i brought my blog characters to the marketplace. SO at the end what i observe is ther are collectors but they dont necessarily showcase what they make. what the character function is good for is if u're using for your own reusable content. or for others to do stuff with in the quiet without your knowledge.

nothingbuttwet

Well, that's what the Character Marketplace is for. Publishing character creations. What people do with them is up to them. I was just gauging interest in my particular character creations and if it would it be worth making some for the Marketplace.

EternaSky

when they buy to collect. you get credits. and after they make like #### number of creations, you get another rewards from BP.

nothingbuttwet

That's what I was wondering. The description in the Character page isn't quite clear on that. Do the creations need to be published, or is it just keep track of generations with your character? I was mainly looking for a ways to generate some additional credits, since my attempts at monetizing haven't been producing anything substantive.

NielsCarlsen

why create specific characters? What do people do with them? I'm into art styles and pretty pictures, scenes, portraits, fantasy, heros, glamour beauty... I was just trying to answere your question, " If I made full fledged character models available in the Marketplace, is this something anyone would be interested in?"

nothingbuttwet

How does the credits thing work exactly? Do you get credits even when they don't publish creations with them, or do they have to publish them from their own Assets?

nothingbuttwet

Are you not familiar with the Characters feature on this website?

nothingbuttwet

Got it. Thank you for that info. 👍

Sorry, I don't really understand the question.
