OFF THE X

I joined @ImmatureGamer on The Creative Juice Podcast to talk about my Epic Games Layoff experience, how I reacted (spoiler alert... AWESOME PEOPLE List) and what I'm doing next with Noah, my 23-year-old, autistic stepson inside of @Fortnite and UEFN (@FNCreate)! @ImmatureGamer you are such a force for good inside the UEFN community!

This is the story of how my autistic stepson and I are building games! 20ALIENZ is launching in Fortnite tomorrow! Be sure to share, like & follow! #autism #Fortnite #UEFN #FortniteCreative #EpicGames #IndieGameDev #20ALIENZ #CreatorEconomy #LaidOff #GameDev #FortniteCreator #UGC #epicgames #layoffs #offthex

@ImmatureGamer You are FIRE, sir! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

See you all tomorrow

The struggle is real of UEFN devs! So much FUN content doesn't get the players they deserve. Epic Games has a huge balancing challenge between running Fortnite and becoming a UGC ecosystem. I don't have the right answer, but it's something I hope they figure out for the ecosystem.

Struggling to agree with the opinions of others in hiding CCU. I’m pretty sure they will never do it because that would be the end of Fortnite. Gaming is a social experience, if I spend an hour going in and out of games with 0 players i will just end up turning it off. Can you imagine how many good indie games are on steam with no players? If they had a good amount of players they will naturally attract more players. That’s just the reality of gaming. I only play games with players, showing CCU isn’t the issue, bringing games to more eyes is what matters. I have a game I’m super proud of that has no players so i understand the frustration but removing CCU is not the answer.

@Falin_Dev What is your live ops strategy?

When was the last time our map had that ccu?

@AlecShobin About time for the W to come! Woohoo!

It’s good to be back!

@ohmygrace I hope you feel better

@ThatBShar Yes! I need more time in my life to play video games! This is going to be a banger!

I'll add this to my list of reasons to live

@mousethegame @PlaySideStudios @FumiHQ on Mouse PI you not only made a game that I find beautiful and FUN (truly feels like I'm in a cartoon with great content and game loop), but the 17 year old in the house LOVES this game!!! Being in the games industry for a bit, I pay a lot of attention to what the next gen finds FUN and you all nailed it! Well done, team!

Proud moment for me as my 23-year-old stepson, Noah, brings his creativity to life! I've been teaching him how to draw, create in Blender, and build in UEFN the last 5 years. THURSDAY is launch day of his 20ALIENZ in Fortnite. #autism #autisticcreators #uefn #videogames #gamesindustry #ugc #20alienz

Truth! Great reminder, brother!

@ImmatureGamer I'm proud of him and so blessed to be here at this point in history surrounded by my family and amazing folks like you!

@OFFTHEXio That’s awesome. You can feel how much pride and love went into this. Noah should be proud, and you should be too. Seeing creativity turn into a real Fortnite launch is such a cool thing. Excited to check out 20ALIENZ on Thursday.

@TimSweeneyEpic womp womp

Apple has now told the Supreme Court, "Regulators around the world are watching this case to determine what commission rate Apple may charge on covered purchases in huge markets outside the United States.” So we see this as the beginning of the end of the Apple Tax worldwide.

Fortnite is back on the Apple App Store as we head into the final battle of Epic v Apple in court. For years, Apple has fragmented iOS features and fees by territory, taking regulatory negotiating positions in secret, and intentionally delaying the pursuit of justice.

@tomjank Whatever it takes!

#UEFN Morning Warmup, built a janky contraption to hold the U-Haul mirror in place using a pen and some duct tape. Without it the mirror moves on its own and you basically become blind to your left side.
