Pixel and Poly FN

Big thanks to @FNCreate, Epic's Picks Team and the Creator Program Team for picking our map for Epic's Picks this week. @ZeroShotBob and I really wanted to take my first golf map to the next level with this one. We spent a ton of time on this. #UEFN 6311-9119-8096

@PopsPlaysToo @FNCompetitive Pops really is the GOAT!

Unreal in 30 games at 66 yrs old. A new PR! 2nd day of the season. @FNCompetitive

I can appreciate this opinion but I really don't agree. This is the best start to a season we've had in a while, maybe except the Simpsons. I love the balanced game play, great loot pool, and the Rivalry system is super fun. TY Epic! #fortnite #epicgames

@JustTeddii I’m loving this season so far. I was worried about the Rivalry system but it’s been really fun and has been engaging me to keep playing. I love how this season’s weapons feel very balanced and the games feel fun to play. I’m not frustrated by any extremely over powered items.

You know when you sit down at a restaurant as the waiter brings out the food, and just as you go to take your first bite they ask you, “so how’s the first few bites?!”, but then it’s awkward as you have a mouth full of food and you’re trying to speak? Well yeah I’m gonna try that for Season 2… So. How’s the first few bites?!

@HannahLouGM So sorry for your loss. Please take care of yourself. 🫂

I wasn’t sure whether to make this post or not because I like to keep my personal life away from my business life. But it will effect my work life so I feel it is something I need to post. Unfortunately, I lost my mum very unexpectedly on Tuesday. She was my world , my best friend and my number 1 fan with anything I ever built. She was always, always so proud. My life has quite literally been torn apart however, I am remaining as strong as I can for my family. Due to this, I will obviously not be as active or have any idea when I will be back to work/updating any current islands. I see building like therapy at times so I will be trying to dabble in and out of it as much as I can, when I am ready. ♥️

@Colin_Friday This was probably my favorite teaser yet. It came out so good! Fingers crossed that we’ll see more of Todd!

Gotta love how creative some of the folks on our team are to come up with teasers like this!

Todd skin confirmed! He looks so life like!

@ImmatureGamer It’s really interesting to see this info before the update but we don’t really know if our maps will be affected until we test them. It’s just so frustrating keeping maps working and updated when the target constantly changes on us. This is better than no info though.

🚨Fortnite v40.00 drops Thursday. Here are the known issues dropping with it... Before it hits, Epic posted a known issues list on the Developer Community Forums so you can prep your island ahead of time. This is them being proactive. Appreciate it. 💚 Here's everything you need to know: BLACK FLICKERING ON SURFACES Building surfaces, walls, and props are flickering black, especially when moving through dense geometry. PC and console only, mobile is fine. April 16 fix. BUILDING MATERIALS UI DISAPPEARING On islands with building enabled, the materials counter just doesn't show up. Players can still build but they'll run out without knowing it. Respawning can fix it temporarily. April 1 fix. D-LAUNCHER CRASHING THE EDITOR Placing a D-Launcher in UEFN right now will crash your editor. Live islands are fine but don't place this device until the patch. April 1 fix. SPRINT LAG NEAR HEAVY PROP AREAS Moving fast through prop-heavy areas can cause increasing lag. The denser your island, the more you'll feel this. April 1 fix. TEXT CHAT BROKEN ON SWITCH, IOS AND ANDROID Players on those platforms can't open text chat at all. Voice still works. April 1 fix. BARRIER DEVICE NOT RENDERING RIGHT Could affect how players see boundaries on your island. April 16 fix. Also expect about 2 hours of URC downtime during the update window. BIG WIN THIS PATCH: Epic finally fixed the Cooker Out of Memory errors that were rejecting builds even when they were within limits. Full list on the Epic Developer Community Forums.

@dummblond @Flak Your future 50 year old self has some news for you! 😭

@Flak like what do you mean I ALREADY hurt when I wake up in the morning 😭😭 does my bed attack me at night lmao

Getting old is the worst thing that has ever happened to me. 10/10 don't recommend.

@tomjank @meph_dev Love the look of this!

#UEFN Morning Warmup Not an inventory, but inspired by Red Dead Redemption 2's Pause Screen

@Turbo1v1 @OzyCreates @FNCreate I do agree that there should be some type of daily limit for the Sponsored section. I think the eco system would benefit from seeing more maps rotate through sponsored.

I actually think it’s fine that you can buy some exposure regardless of how @FNCreate evaluates an island’s “sophistication” or “engagement,” since those signals can often be misleading. The real issue is that exposure is unlimited. Limiting ad space to ~1M impressions per creator per day would solve most of the spam/slop issues and allow many more creators to get meaningful exposure at a reasonable price.

Genuine question. Why is there a sofistication score to be able to appear in Discover? Creators with big budgets can just skip this filter via sponsored and youtubers via their audience. Small creators are required to innovate to get noticed by the algo. Seems unfair. #UEFN

@TrickTyger @FNCreate Just curious if you do any volume adjustments before importing sounds? You can also do extra amplification in a Cue if needed as well.

I'm super happy to see Sypher joining the campaign to uncap the volume on the sound component. Come on @FNCreate what's the worst that could happen? #UEFN

@tomjank @chrisp_games Looks incredible!

#UEFN Morning Warmup Animal Crossing Inventory Time!

@GrappleGirl I saw the picture before I saw who posted it and I said, I bet Grapple is eating that now!

Offline this morning/early afternoon for treats and a massage. I’m realizing I’ve been burning the candle at both ends. Filming legal content and streaming back-to-back drained me more than usual. 🪫 Building two brands in public definitely isn’t easy. Thankful but also tired.

@duos_with_dad @Kryten_ I bet that 2nd page area performs as well as most of the collections, which are difficult to find, imo.

@PixelandPoly_FN @Kryten_ It’s better than nothing yes.

why is the New tab so loong

@duos_with_dad @Kryten_ I mean if people are going to click into the sub-area they will probable take the time to scroll down to see all the maps in the 'new' section. Being on the 1st page is still a ton better but 2nd page is better than nothing, right?

@Kryten_ So people complaining they never get into New can now complain that they got into new 47.

Look at that! When there are less Spam maps the NEW category gets a lot smaller (29-->12). This gives REAL creators a chance! Thank you @FNCreate

@ZeroShotBob @hooshen_ I’ll teach @ZeroShotBob materials after he teaches me Verse!

@hooshen_ I don't do materials, I have @PixelandPoly_FN for that. But if I was learning how to do materials I would definately be #2. After some time I would be #1. Baby steps.... 🤣

Be honest… are you material #1 or material #2? 🤔

@hooshen_ @ZeroShotBob Honestly, after working on a complex material I find it really relaxing to really make it look pretty and organize it. It’s kind of like the icing on the cake! Don’t do it all the time, though, lol.

@PixelandPoly_FN @ZeroShotBob Yes! Love this 😊 I’ve been finding myself making a lot of material functions for sections of materials that I tend to repeat a lot!

@GrappleGirl @ThatWitchTV That says more about them, then it does about you! Grapple is correct!

@ThatWitchTV Haters are going to hate! Way to prove them wrong 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I also feel like having haters has become a rite of passage 🫠

Not long ago, a fellow streamer commented the below on my Reel. Turns out, they give Twitch Partner to annoying people 🤷🏻‍♀️ GGs
