@CatchItFN Now it's your turn. Are you ready to Catch It? 🎣 Reel in rare fish, explore the islands, and grow your collection today: fn.gg/catch-it

"A big part of the experience comes from our event system. Daily and weekly live events introduce new challenges, rare fish, and unique moments that encourage players to return and see what is happening across the islands. Using Scene Graph, we were able to dynamically create mutated variations of existing fish without duplicating assets. By modifying Niagara parameters directly through Verse, we built an optimized fishing event system that can change visuals and behavior at runtime. Without Scene Graph, implementing these variations would have required significantly more assets and manual setup, making the system far less scalable."

Catch hundreds of fish, discover rare mutations, and explore islands full of secrets in Catch It! 🎣 Built in Fortnite by Epic MegaGrant recipient @CatchItFN, this progression-driven fishing adventure features persistent inventory, gear upgrades, live events, and more. Let’s dive into how it was built 🧵:

@peter_b007 We’ve started taking action on Rule 1.9.1, and took down 5,497 islands in the first day, but it will take time to scale up over the next few weeks. There’s more to do and we’ll keep improving our approach and tooling to get there.

If Epic enforced this rule, everything would be 10 times better. There would be no spam maps, and even if you duplicated and spammed maps, you’d have zero chance of getting into Discovery. The sponsored row would also be much better without ten identical 1v1v1v1v1 maps. @FNCreate

@UlsanKropee Hey @UlsanKropee. Even though enforcement for 1.9.1 kicked off last week. We know there’s more work to do here, and we’ll also introduce new tooling in the coming weeks to prevent spam islands from being published in the first place.

Fortnite #UEFN is plenty of Spam Maps again. The “algorythm” isn’t working anymore. Sad news for legacy creators. The ecosystem is absolutely broken. @Fortnite @TimSweeneyEpic @Flak @FNCreate

@TwinsCreates2 Enforcement for 1.9.1 has been rolling out for the past few days, but it’s not an instant fix. You may still see this as we ramp up over the next few weeks. More automated tooling is on the way.

Hey @FNCreate You guys where cooking taking down spam islands but there is still a problem players are spamming different titles and thumbnails to by pass the rules we need that automated tooling asap there are all the same islands same concept, hopefully u see this!!

That’s no moon… it’s a toolset?!

Get your MegaGrant applications in, the March 20 deadline is approaching fast! We're looking for projects and we want to see yours. Don't miss that deadline 🫵: unrealengine.com/megagrants

We’ve taken down 5,497 islands since we began enforcing 1.9.1 yesterday Still work to be done 🔨

This pack? Proper tidy. Think classic pubs, cozy cafés, and cobblestone streets that feel straight out of London. @ScansFactory's photo-scanned London pack drops the city right into your Unreal Engine, UEFN, and Unity projects. fab.com/s/bd73e214f240

@Spectral345 @ImmatureGamer If you’re offering different modes legitimately, that’s fine. If they’re being published in a way that clearly amounts to spam, it would be against the rules.

@FNCreate @ImmatureGamer I’m hoping my maps don’t get into a situation like this somehow. I wouldn’t say they’re copies, more like different versions for solos, duos, build, and zero build.

Enforcement for Rule 1.9.1 is starting now and will be ramping up over the next few weeks. Reminder: new automated tooling is also coming to prevent spam islands from being published.

@MisterX_fn We started enforcing rule 1.9.1 today but it’s not a light switch. Over the next few weeks you’ll still see spam islands as we roll this out and ramp up enforcement. Looking ahead we’ll also introduce new automated tooling to prevent spam islands from being published.

Does anyone know of any spammers who were banned today? The rule is supposed to finally go into effect today. There are definitely still some in Discover. #uefn

@BiboPlayer Enforcement has now kicked off x.com/FNCreate/statu…

I keep seeing duplicate maps and spam, didn’t the new Rule 1.9.1 start today? @FNCreate
