To put it simply, it’s a place where users can upload and download files related to game development. It’s a user-generated content library!
The Asset Network holds assets on Wix’s File-Sharing app. Users are able to upload and download assets to this app to be used by other members for their own personal projects.
The GDK Asset Network is a service made by students, for students. Or, more specifically, active dues-paying members of the GDK. If you want to become a dues-paying member, you can purchase a membership from the shop here!
We also allow UCF alumni to to access and donate assets to the Network, free of charge!
Wix's File-Sharing app can hold up to 35 GB of content by itself, but we have a plan to ensure that users will be able to upload as many assets as they please!
When the File-Sharing app runs out of storage, we move older assets into an archive consisting of a series of Dropbox widgets, each tied to their own separate account. Each Dropbox account nets us an extra 2 GB of data, and we will create as many as we need!
That's great! All you need to do is reach out to an Asset Network Admin on the GDK Discord and they should grant you access to the Network!
If you have a question that the FAQ doesn't answer, reach out to an Asset Network Admin on the GDK Discord! They would be happy to help!
