After stuffing myself full of Xmas meats and candy, I have finally emerged from my coma-stasis to finish the first official Sunset Boost trailer! #Fortnite @FNCreate

It's incredible how little people know about the reality of game development and why it takes so much time. Programming is important, but visuals / feel / concept / gameplay / logic is where the wild amount of hours go.

Epic's Disney universe will launch as its own game, not just as another #Fortnite mode, an executive shared back in 2024 📝 While Epic has used the term "game" to describe Fortnite spin-off modes like Rocket Racing and Fortnite Festival before, the executive's wording strongly suggested the Disney universe will actually launch as its own game - or games - separate from Fortnite, though Fortnite players will still be able to access content from the Disney universe, and vice versa. Talking to The Verge in 2024, former Epic Games VP Saxs Persson described that players would be able to access the Disney universe "through the Disney front door or the Fortnite front door," with their Locker and friend's list coming along for the ride. This is likely possible due to new networking features being introduced with Unreal Engine 6. You can also expect the remake of Rocket League in Unreal Engine 6 to function similarly. Expect Epic to shed more light on Unreal Engine 6, the new Disney universe, and the future of Fortnite over the summer, including at Unreal Fest next month and likely Disney's D23 convention later in August. 🔗 theverge.com/2024/10/4/24261…

Here we go; what I have been talking about since UEFN came out. Epic’s needs to split UGC out of Fortnite and into the Epic Store/whatever this universe platform is.

Just got Fortnite for iOS! So after downloading 3 gigs. Then 5 gigs… i now have to download 2.88 gigs to play Creative maps?! Where is the thin client, Epic? 🥶

A little lunch-time rendering fun with @DoubleGum_ Concrete Shader for Blender on my Kappa model!

Never been so hyped to play a car game before, looking forward to this evening!

Been enjoying my time making a small and fun little game for Steam the last few weeks. It's been nice to take a break from Fornite Creative/UEFN and focus on something that I know will last for years rather than 1 month without breaking 😅

If you've played Ghost of Tsushima, Control, Alan Wake 2, Injustice 2, Black Ops 6, Hellblade 2, Split Fiction, Hellblade 2, Hogwarts Legacy, Mortal Kombat 1, Suicide Squad, Jedi Survivor, or Horizon Forbidden West - you've seen this hair artist's work either directly or have seen someone he trained personally to create hair at this quality. He is the same artist that taught me how to make hair for games. I spent time with him in his hometown Hyderabad, India. His name is Naky Solanki. Him and his team are the 1992 Chicago Bulls of hair for real-time games and no gamers know who he is.

Claude vs. Blender MCP for creative work went like this for me:

MotionBricks from Nvidia looks really impressive

So I'm not actually leaving for UEFN for Steam entirely. Just saying that these dorks are what made Fortnite Creative into the dumpster fire it currently is. I still think this platform can get better eventually when UE6 comes out and if they can separate it from Fortnite BR...

Pretty hyped to check out this session (which I'm hoping will be on YouTube at some point) 😅

I was right, 1000% CTR increase after I added explosions!

Finally found some time to make a new thumbnail for Sunset Boost, going live in the next update! Hoping this will increase my CTR as I hear EXPLOSIONS= 1000% CTR 😌 #UEFN

Redesigned the starting lobby aka the Heaven Hub in Sunset Boost with a fun see-through grid material in UEFN

Wow, they even let go their new Director of Fortnite Developer Programs... Solid mistake, I think Donald really seemed to have the right ideas and direction. UEFN is really not looking great at this point... I hope he and everyone else who got laid off get new jobs quickly ❤️‍🔥

My heart goes out to everyone who were let go at Epic today, you've made incredible work and all of you built a fantastic community 💛

They finally gave us access to weapon icon texture data ^---^
