Replicated Building System | Altas Studio
Note: Chair not included in the deal.
The building system enables users to drag, constrain, and rotate objects both solo and with others. It supports multiplayer play and cooperative building. An invited guest, Kopilot, has discussed the system in more detail.
– Kopilot, what is a replicated build system in simple terms?
Replicated Building System (RBS) is a system that allows creation and management of game objects. It enables the production of objects that can be copied and replicated in the game and synchronized across clients. RBS is useful for creating many identical items such as houses, trees, or rocks and placing them in the game world. RBS is available for Unreal Engine and can be purchased from the Unreal Engine Marketplace.
– If you have questions, feel free to ask. Support is available for users exploring the system.
Next up, the assistant briefly notes the next product in line.

Stylized Modular Crystal Mine | Scale 3D
Screenshot captions reference Lumen.
A stylized fantasy mine featuring modular tunnels, tools, and 70 meshes including ore rocks and custom crystals. All assets include levels of detail, collision data, and shadow maps.
A test card is included for evaluation. A short video showcases some of the features. The mining craft can be explored starting here.
Fantasy Interior Environment | Leartes Studios
After a long day in the mines, one can imagine relaxing in a cozy setting drawn by a warm fireplace and a comfortable ambiance. The set contains 182 fantasy interior items along with a demonstration scene.
As a note, a pristine kitchen or living space can be created, with a hint of elegance still intact.
Integration of Statistics and Performance | Arthur
This solution integrates SteamAPI to implement statistics and achievements within a game. More features are planned for future releases.
The plugin is safe to use on the client side, unlike some web-based APIs. It requires proper configuration of stats and achievements in a linked Steamworks account associated with the Steam AppID. A limited functionality test can be performed using Spacewar AppID (480). Documentation and sample content provide guidance, though some Blueprint adjustments may be needed to work with a personal Steamworks AppID.
The plugin requires:
- Online subsystem
- OnlineSubsystemUtils
- OnlineSubsystemSteam
Additional achievements can be added, expanding game progression options.
Advanced CRT TV & VCR & VHS Effects | CemTezcan
An atmospheric set of effects for retro video displays. It includes various distortion styles. A 34-minute introductory video provides an overview of the features.
The screenshot system may undergo maintenance from time to time. The generated visuals offer a nostalgic, cinematic feel for projects requiring retro aesthetics.
You can access these effects to enrich visual storytelling.
