    I know a lot of full game packages that are worth a third of the price of this pack. If you actually want to get any sales, I suggest you lower the price considerably. I was pretty shocked when I saw the price to be honest, no elevator system is ever worth that amount. Especially one made with such simple models and not even interpolating the network code.

    I don't know how much demand there is for a networked elevator system. I assumed that not very much, so that's why the price is so high, to cover the expenses (months of full-time work); nevertheless,I've already considered to lower the price.
    What do you mean??

    sincerely,

    What i mean with not interpolating the network code is that when playing the demo the elevators are very jittery.

    Well, when I tested the code with MacBook 1.83 Ghz Intel Core Duo and HP triple core 2.10 GhZ laptop, it seemed to work perfectly and smoothly. I don't know where's the problem. Which machine are you using?

    Wow that is very costly. Complete RPG systems dont cost that much. Is this programmed to make my coffee too?
    Cut that price down considerable and please post some screen shots, add a better description instead of "hey check out my awesome asset here is the link."

    If I'd cut the price down, it's not guaranteed that I get any customers. I've been thinking the price a lot and at the moment it stays at 250 bucks.
    Your quote is not what i wrote. The screenshots can be seen by clicking the link. Well, here's few: $Screenshot7.png $Screenshot11.png $Screenshot12.png $Screenshot14.png $Screenshot15.png

    You are trying to SELL something. How do you sell something online to a group of people that you want as a customer? Show it! Talk about what it is, what makes your asset the next must have...
    Don't just put a line and a link. Post a video whatever you got to grab the attention of people so they want to click the link.
    But whatever you want to do. No one listens to marketing points anyway and I'm tired of constantly posting about it.

    I seriously recommend posting some video demos and talk about the features... Looking at this, THIS IS NOT WORTH $250... By not showing a demo of its capabilities, you have already stunted the growth on this addon. And I would have MUCH better screenshots; these look like you threw this together yesterday...dare I say, it looks FUGLY. And quite honestly, a networked elevator system is something most game devs could wire up themselves, since it is basically a feature that no one thinks about in a fast paced game. Please, reconsider what I have said.

    You can't market an asset with a 4 second video... o_O

    The 'Elevator System with Networked features + 3d models' package brings you contemporary elevator system to use in your Unity projects. It includes multiplayer client scene and a server scene to set up a multiplayer project. You can adjust the number of elevators, number of floors, number of doors, elevator speed, door opening speed, the direction of the opening doors, the formation of the elevators etc.

    And what kind of dev and games are you aiming this towards? An elevator system can be simply solved with some basic animations, triggers and a timer... that is it. No one is gonna wait for an elevator, especially during a zombie infestation... and the price point is still stupid high. I have seen assets from networking for over a quarter of that price.

    Looks like nice system, but for that price i think you should put little more effort for video :) and polish the demo, it was little buggy, camera doesnt always follow if you go up or down more than 3 levels. GUI (buttons) doesnt always appear when you go to front of elevator door. And i like it better when demo link goes to actual demo, not to root, homepage of the site. Not that i didnt find it from navigation, but i think its a good practice. Little more work and you'll changes to get customers are much better.

    My website's structure at the moment doesn't allow a straight link to the demo since it's based on an iframe inside html page.

    Try lowering the price to lets say $10 and perhaps people will buy it. That's probably the same amount of effort it took to make this package,

    Actually it took me by surprise how much effort it really takes to code a complete contemporary multi Elevator system that is as fast and efficient as possible. I'd say it's futureproof and worth every penny, and it might save a lot of time,effort and money to buy it as ready made and easy to use asset.

    The bugs of the demo that you mentioned have all been fixed on the three scenes that are included in the package.

    I'm relatively new to hosting own website, so I wasn't sure if linking to specific path in a web site directory works or not due to use of iframe structure. Now I've edited the link so that it goes to actual demo.

    Especially when you look at some of the awesome stuff you can buy for 10 bucks in the store! It is pretty rare to see something over 100, so for over that you are expecting something super special.
