The power of the Force is in your hands. Customize your own lightsaber with the Star Wars toolset in UEFN.

@kalinowskyyy Hey there, we're investigating this issue now and are working on a fix.

Epic Picks just got removed from the Discovery. Homebar includes now only 4 maps (+ most recent playyed one). #Fortnite #UEFN

@duos_with_dad Hey @duos_with_dad and @iiiSAndman. We're aware of this issue and are investigating it.

Honestly, I am disappointed in @FNCreate lately and the overall stability of Discover. I have tried to trust the process and stay supportive of experimenting with new ideas and systems, but this is starting to become a nightmare for creators trying to maintain visibility and consistency.

@BrendannnD The last one is our favorite. One week later and you’re officially a triple threat in UEFN now!

I've tried to become a generalist for every UE skill but I was always scared of learning rigging and animating. This week I decided to sit down and learn it! Left to right is my progression throughout the week, with everything made by me. @FNCreate #UEFN

Updated Discover documentation is coming soon, targeting next week.

We love seeing the UEFN community come together to celebrate all the amazing islands, teams, and talent 🏆

@duos_with_dad Hey @duos_with_dad and @iiiSAndman thanks for the flag, this wasn't intentional. We just republished the homebar links.

Extremely disappointed in @FNCreate if this was intentionally removed. This was one of the only real improvements to Epic Picks I’ve seen in a long time that actually made the row feel impactful again. If this was removed on purpose, I really hope it gets reconsidered.

@ImmatureGamer Happy birthday! 🎉

Birthday today 🎉 Honestly just thankful. For my kids, my wife, the friendships, the community, and being able to wake up every day and create in an industry I genuinely love. Appreciate everyone who’s supported me along the way 💚

@GoodOpinion_ Hey there, the team is working on updated Discovery documentation. We’ll share more once we have additional information.

@FNCreate When will you guys update the Discovery Document so creators know how it works ? its been over a week and no one knows what Key Metrics to aim for ?

@FrostbyteMaps Thank you! Someone will take a look.

@FNCreate Just posted it. Here's the link: forums.unrealengine.com/t/critical-mat… Our maps are 100% clean but completely unplayable due to this glitch. We’d really appreciate it if you could flag this for the engineering team for an urgent review. Thanks for the help!!

How is this fair? We spent months on these maps, followed every rule, and now some bug is destroying my work and income. My maps are 100% clean—no bans, no warnings—but players just can't join. Almost everyone is getting a "connection error", This is a platform-breaking glitch and if it’s happening to us, it can happen to you next. PLEASE RT and tag @FNCreate below. We need a real human from the engineering team to fix this matchmaking failure immediately!

Custom Inventory & Items is available now. Try the Lightsaber Workbench to see how it all fits together, then build your own. We can't wait to see what you create.

"What gets me excited is what creators can do with this. The workbench is just one example. Because this is all Verse and Scene Graph, you could expand it or build something totally different from scratch: a randomized lightsaber generator, a personality quiz that picks your saber for you, a component shop, or a progression system where your Jedi grows in power the more they play." The Custom Inventory & Items system was designed to be flexible enough that creators can take it in any direction they want."

We sat down with Epic Engineering Lead Aidan McDu to discuss how the new Custom Lightsaber system was built in UEFN. Using Custom Inventory & Items and Verse, players can create their own lightsaber with unique hilts, crystals, Force abilities, and more. Here's how the team brought customizable lightsabers to Fortnite 🧵:

@PokeasyFN @Flak hey there! If you haven't already, please kick off a forum post so the team can take a look: forums.unrealengine.com/tags/c/172/for…

@Flak @FNCreate On top of that we’ve encountered a new issue that’s particularly difficult to diagnose since we don’t have access to cook logs or any similar data that might help identify the cause of it

It’s wild that this issue has been around for nearly a year and still hasn’t been fixed It’s a big reason I haven’t released a new map yet they’ve said multiple times the cook error would be fixed and there’s still nothing at all @Flak @FNCreate could we please see a fix
