@TheDevUnknown @FortniteDotGG Discovery was never good. Back then, the only reason there were 80 maps with over 1,000 CCU was because they were averaging a very good player count.

Discovery back then was so much better. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

⚠️ Scammer Ex @Loserfruit @ItsNexiph @BifrostFN — Dev “Jake” scammed me out of $1,500 (Full story + proof via screenshots below)
This was 5-7 months ago. I didn't want to go public because I'm all about positivity growth and I didn't want any drama on my name when I was still small and growing. But I just saw he is looking for work and a lot of credible people that I really respect personally are vouching for him, so I need to speak out so that what happened to me doesn't happen to them.
First time speaking out on something like this, so bear with me.
3 people involved:
Me (Ake) – manager, handling all costs
Jake – level designer
My partner Lets call him “Mike” – map owner of the project
We were looking for a city builder. Jake used to like and repost my content often. Coincidentally, he posted that he was looking for work so I contacted him and vouched for him to join us.
We agreed on $2,500 for a full custom city RP map (level design). He said he could finish in a month I gave him 3 months.
We created a Discord group (me, Mike, Jake). I explained my vision Jake fully agreed. Mike was my biggest partner at that time, honestly the best person I have ever worked with. The builder's cost was on me, but Mike offered to pay Jake what a goat . I thought nothing of it since I already negotiated what could go wrong? I told Jake to get his upfront from Mike because I always want my devs to be happy and secure, which Mike did. However, Mike is too good of a guy and sent him more than a normal upfront 1.5k up front for the for the 2.5k, 3-month project without Jake even opening the project. That isn't good to do an upfront like that with a developer that doesn't have a strong portfolio of past clients and is the first time you're working with him.
Jake finally opened the project, stalled for days, then uploaded his own “dream project” which was just a white map and insisted on working on that instead. I said that’s not what we needed and wouldn’t work as a game. He took offense. He was talking to Mike in his DMs and ofc Mike the guy he is said it “looks cool,” jake kept telling me this I responded: I’m the manager responsible for results, not Mike. Your map isn’t playable we want what we asked for in a less direct way ofc.
More stalling. Days later, Jake said it was more work than expected and wanted out. Then he said it's more work than he expected and he wanted out. (I wasn't professional and was insulting?) There was no time wasted on his part?. He was very difficult to manage, acted like a literal child. I said ok sure, but please return the big upfront he got, which he agreed to. Which he ghosted both of us and didn't.
I vouched for him and I took responsibility for this 30-year old's actions. Mind you, at the time I was 17, and the $1500 he owed Mike was all I had in my account and returned the owned amount from my pocket. So W me😁 .
For 2 months, I kept messaging Jake on Discord and X DMs to return the money or I’d go public. Ghosted.
I ultimately decided to avoid drama at that stage of my career looking back ,that was probably a mistake.
Now I’ve just discovered:
He’s blocked me on X
I can’t find his Discord anymore
He appears to be looking for more work or more victims.
Summary:
I found Jake, vouched for him.
Agreed on 2.5k.
My partner Mike kindly offered to pay and sent $1.5k upfront.
Jake imported his old city map (not what we wanted).
He got angry when I said no → ghosted.
I took responsibility for vouching for him and paid Mike back every dollar I had $1,500.
Lessons learned:
Never let a partner handle dev payments without you they may structure payments poorly (here, a single upfront > 50% for a 3-month project).
Jake is a scammer.
His portfolio was weak for someone claiming dev experience that was a red flag I should’ve caught.
Jake is now looking for work again. Don't hate but spread the word he’s a scammer don't work with him.
To my knowledge, there have been at least two payments. I’ll share the biggest one here.
He blocked me on X, so my DMs don’t go back far. He blocked me on Discord I can’t even see his account.
I have screenshots of our DMs and me explaining the situation to friends months ago all will be below.
I’ve financially recovered currently balling 🕺and learned some hard lessons.
I thought he had left the space but no he didn't. he ran from his problems, blocked us, and act like nothing happened.
Like seriously, dude blocking. We could have at least talked it out.

🙏 First and foremost we thank God.
Second this is our biggest project yet. Huge thanks to @bandarbzm 🐐 for choosing the right person for the job my role is co-owner 😋 none of this would have been possible without him. And an early thank you to everyone on the team who will be involved in taking BZM Town to the next level 📈📈🔥
I get a lot of questions about the studio. We're a very active team of 5+ members and partners, with many projects and updates under our belt. That said, I haven't been as active on social media as I should have simply because I (and the rest of us) were already overworked as af. I'll try to change that 🤞

Turning a PSD into a functional UEFN widget should not be this painful.
So I decided to change that.
Upload the PSD, get the widget output back, paste it into UEFN, and done.
Everything aligned, positioned correctly, and separated into layers.
All of that in under a minute. And this is only part 1 of WidgetKit.

I created a complete Driver System, with chat between driver and passenger, arrows showing the location to where the passenger is, and a tag above the passenger’s head for identification (visible only to the driver). A complete, ready system, great for RP or Tycoon maps!
