Quick note: The Marketplace will be briefly offline for maintenance today (Thursday, May 28) between 4pm and 6pm EST.

Blueprints:

Impromptu Procedural Stairs by Impromptu Games

Impromptu Procedural Stairs by Impromptu Games

Impromptu Games is back with more super-useful, time-saving procedural content! This time he's brought Impromptu Procedural Stairs, a procedural Blueprint that lets you create detailed, highly customizable linear staircases in seconds using instanced meshes. You can set the perfect dimensions, number of steps, and step dimensions of any spcae in seconds, use your own meshes or the included meshes, specify any numbe rof meshes to be selected at random per step to break up visual repetition, optionally tile steps horizontally or build walls underneath your staircases with tiling block and wedge meshes, and everything is commented and easy to learn from and modify. Check out the video to see it in action!

Survival games are quite popular these days, and PolyPixel is here to help you develop yours! The Survival Prop Pack contains 40 props that can be used to start any type of survival game, be it zombie, survival horror, FPS horror, or other similar themes. The wide variety of props include food rations, survival gear, crafting items, and melee/harvesting tools. Some of the assets contain multiple states like an open and closed tent.
