An hour of development in UEFN is actually 2-3 hours of actual time (not counting afk or using other apps while waiting). Here is what takes away from it (with a beast PC and 1Gbps connection): - Renaming a file in content browser (3-8ish secs) - Moving a file in content browser (same) - Deleting a file in content browser (same) - Opening live edit (1-6 mins) - Crashes (??? mins) - Starting the project (3-10mins) - Any edit that desyncs live edit, like landscape editing, scene graph and verse editables change (1-6 mins) - Closing unnecessary popup windows that constantly spam the editor (2-3 secs) - Placing a blueprint or FortPlaysetItemDefinition in viewport (0.3-0.5 secs per case) - Migrating content UEFN to UEFN (6-20 mins) - Checking memory (7 mins) - Moving player to test area, or camera to player (5 secs) - Fixing UEFN grids after restart (4 secs) - Falling and flying back up because player jump didnt trigger in edit mode (4 secs/case) - Closing extra asset windows in UEFN (1-2 secs/window) - Reopening texture data dropdown on architecture (2 secs/case added since a few updates back - roughly 40-60 occurrences per working session) 1) Most of what is listed above should not take more than 1 second, to match other editors, and we are in the minutes in some 2) In a usual "1-hour" session, there are around 2k-3k edits for level design, so multiply bullet 9 (0.4 x 2500 = 1000 secs taken away just waiting on things to spawn on viewport alone) I would love to sit down with Epic and create an initiative to speed up the editor. I sent messages about that multiple times before, and every time I was told those fixes are "low priority" So don't talk to me about time, because really its your weakness as an editor; it's in fact, the slowest editor I've used in my career, by a long shot. If you want to fix it, my DMs are open

Honestly, I just need a toolset that motivates me to build. UEFN has slowly moved away from UGC and went into gamedev, and in the process made everything require x5 effort to do, all to overcome technical hurdles met by the engine’s architecture. I was here to realize a project in 2 weeks, now we are back to 1 month, with many unknowns. I dont care about scene graph or verse, I just need an easy way to build and now thats not an option. Stability still an issue, devices are now being deprecated without an alternative for artists, no spaces for wide audiences in the platform, always launch new tools in beta so we cant do polished games with them, its like you want us out of UEFN at this point. Please hire a platform lead to bring back what we had on UEFN launch, a space where creators could build anything they imagined and share it with an audience, also let the audience pick not force an algo on them, just look how Nike was demolished by “being safe” and following data, its exactly what happened to discoverability in the space. Just look at how many content creators are covering UEFN, and check how many did Creative and you will understand how unfun the space has gotten.
