Creating assets for specific games?

Sorry for my ignorance but are there many games out there which you can create and sell game assets for?

And have you had much success selling assets for specific games? And if so what were those games?

 

I mean, there's Second Life, but that's really nothing to do with Unity.

 

Roblox comes to mind.

Also, on rare occasion a free community mod becomes so successful that the game publisher picks it up as their own IP, such as Counter Strike.

 

That said it's very common to see Roblox "games" with music and other content ripped from existing games.

 

Valve is pretty interesting that they let fan based content be. Like Blackmesa and Project Borealis, other studios would shut them down in a heartbeat, zenimax/bethesda comes to mind.

 

Bethesda is more lenient than you'd think. We've got unofficial projects working to recreate three games (Arena, Daggerfall, and Morrowind), we've got projects that bring the content from older games (eg Fallout 3) to newer games (eg Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 4), and so on.

Where they draw the line is when you start distributing their actual assets. The recent project to bring Fallout 3 into the newer Fallout 4 engine hit this snag because they were trying to use the original voice files and Bethesda legal said no.

 

Ask Prey for the gods Devs how lenient they are

 

Ask Bethesda how successful they were getting Mojang to change the name of their game. Hint, they weren't.

 

Didn't know that, nice I think zenimax is a really evil corporation so they deserve all the S*** they can get.

You can make cosmetic items for Dota 2... If that is still ongoing, i'm not sure. But rules are very strict in terms of style, and competition is fierce

 

Some racing sims allow you to sell mods usually cars or tracks or both. From what I understand Reiza started off as a company selling rFactor mods before making their own games.

 

For that matter there are total conversion mods that have been around for years.

I think Enderal is even better than Skyrim.
