Maybe charging 20-30 dollars to put a paid asset on the store would discourage low quality/scam assets. It'd also be cool if a pay what you can/donation system was an option like they have on itch.

A lot, but the chief difference is the ability for paid resources to be hosted there. Beyond that there's a ton of stuff that are more about improving functionality but didn't require the rename IMHO.

The asset library will be deprecated and the store can offer paid assets, plugins

In most cases the project only needs a reference - like manifest entry, or version requirement - while the actual addon is stored outside of the project. I have done an experiment in that direction in the CMake template of Godot project, which comes with Rider 2026.2 eap3.

they turned godot into the

This is great, really cool to see that will be Godot plugins and the capacity to donate to free plugins

I really hope this won't be accessible and present enough to overly discourage people to actually release good stuff for free. (2/2)

In Blender there is now Blender extension (only free and FOSS) but there is also a large offer of paid addon (SuperHive) of high quality addon and asset. So one wants to build something for months and give it for free, so paid stuff is good for Godot, as the engine cant offer everything.

Look at his face. He is so square. So so square

You could (eventually) implement an autohide feature. If something gets a negative enough rating over time (so it can't just be review bombed by competitors), it gets suppressed in the search results. Then the community could do the rest. Granted this also encourages groupthink & brigading...

An AI disclosure field similar to Steam's already exists! but we could make it easier to spot. ie:

just for clarity one of the problems in discussions like these is that different people have different definitions for what ai use is i for one don't want any fully ai generated or vibe coded things on any asset store. but if you use ai to find information, or to help with debugging, i don't mind

"oh but I can't put a strict rule in place because then people will just lie and what will I do then!" because you can't give these people an inch as they will take a mile

awesome! i'm happy to hear it

To echo what others have said, I think having a system to let you hide assets with specific tags or conditions would be great, and it works for anything, not just filtering out AI slop.

The code inside the editor is, but the website/backend is Python+Flask+HTMX

this is gonna be a worthless ai slop bin real quick unless you set stringent standards early on

I hope the devs realize that this is going to attract scammers

In the spotlights, and detailed views, not in the result view

Dependency system

I hope we can opt-out the creepy analytics

Buy and sell assets is a terrible idea You're opening a big can of worms: scammers

I really hope the tags will be curated. Letting people create custom tags without anyone to cleanup usually ends up making search and filtering useless. E.g. steam workshop. Otherwise really exited to see where this is going!

Would you like something like itch where they have pay-what-you-want for free assets alongside their paid assets? Maybe paid assets could require 20-30 bucks to encourage making lower effort assets free/pay-what-you-want and discourage slop.

Free assets don't need an account, you can check that now (in a browser or in 4.7b)

like some things about this, one case i didnt was for example, try searching 'noise' on both old and new. one is a kind of fuzzy search while the other goes for titles. no opinion on the ai convo, i still use it...

Huge step forward 🙏

Very exciting stuff! Tiny feedback, swiping the cards on mobile web feels a little clunky at the moment, but otherwise looking very promising!

Great news!
