Calvin is supposed to talk like a creep btw
One does not simply post about an awesome set of new mechanics you just got working flawlessly unless you want someone to take the idea and release a whole game with it before you can finish reading the replies on your post
My son wanted me to submit his ideas for the Fortnite design a sprite contest so yeah these are what he came up with #DesignASprite
What is going on with UEFN lately. Almost 2 minutes to simply duplicate and delete a texture. This issue seems to be much worse if the project has/is using custom entity prefabs. Has anyone else noticed similar results? #UEFN

Before you point at UEFN for today's announcement, understand that most growth in the games industry during 2025 came from two places: China and UGC.
Roblox has dominated and UEFN is the next largest competitor. Fortnite started its race 12 years late, has technical debt from its BR cycle, has delayed mobile optimization due to litigation (which also benefited many developers), and several other challenges to work through. But it's also a bet on the only growth area in games right now.
If you're not a game dev, I don't blame you for being surprised. Our industry has been in a difficult place since 2023. Almost every game studio I can think of has done layoffs, some multiple rounds (Riot Games as a recent example, who doesn't have a "UEFN" by the way). Even the studio I started my career at, which I left in 2019 and was 450 people, is now less than 40 people. That is the games industry today.
What we need right now is to be supportive of those impacted and to focus on doing our part to help grow Fortnite into a larger platform that can sustain games from many different genres, including BR and UEFN. That creates more jobs, new opportunities, and an overall better outcome for all.
We should be able to equip lobby music to the dreaded eternal waiting room or at least give me some snazzy jazz elevator music!
PSA to all my UEFN homies out there. If you have an 13 or 14th Gen Intel processor and have been having underwhelming performance or frequent UEFN or Fortnite crashes check your motherboard manufacturers website asap for a bios update. More info in comments
There is a little more to do other than just update your bios. There are some settings you should tweak to use default intel settings. They seem limiting but in use It seems to have dropped overall CPU usage by almost half and increased FPS dramatically
Map gets selected for callout 😍
Map doesn’t appear in callout 🤔
Told to re-publish 😬
Map gets denied by moderation 🤬
Flagged for promotional image which it’s had for the last 4 versions
First official Brn Studios submission and looks like I was on the right track at least in Epic's eyes. Hopefully it is well received with the player base and everyone who gives it a chance enjoys it.
Truly grateful for this opportunity again! 🥹
12 hours to go before the deadline. I have never cut it this close but all the issues are finally fixed! This is about 80% of the devices and mechanics just have to migrate it all over and reset it up! No sleep for me tonight 😅
I am having a major problem with the post process device, description in the comments. If you have a second help your favorite Kai guy out! #UEFN
I am using a few post process devices to apply an effect to players when they use certain abilities.
The devices are disabled on game start and enable per agent and then disabled after a few seconds via verse.
I may have just written and recorded the hardest hitting Fortnite rap I have ever heard (it’s a low bar I know🤣) when I should have been working on the callout 🤦♂️
Not my normal writing genre but I think it turned out hella catchy, after this callout gotta make a vid for it!
Took a min to figure out but finally got a custom square shape for my capture zone!!! Would have been a lot easier if the collision was editable on the device but still got it working with out any issues! #UEFN
