today has been a whirlwind of emotions.
thank you, genuinely, to everyone that’s reached out to me today (a former coworker even sent me a milkshake). i’m still going through them all (and will continue to do so). reading how much you all appreciate my work has been so surprising and uplifting on such a shitty day.
i’m really, really going to miss making cool stuff happen for our players. that was the guiding principle behind everything i ever did.
seeing how many of my former colleagues are as confused as i am about my departure is definitely validating too.
i’m very grateful (and thankful) to also already have many studio leads and recruiters reaching out about roles they’d like me for.
i’m gonna go grab a beer and watch the rest of the canes game. 💚🦖

What did you name your Sidekick?
Ever since Chapter 1 we had a dream for these to come to life. We love them, and we hope you love them too.

We will return Fortnite to the US iOS App Store next week.
Epic puts forth a peace proposal: If Apple extends the court's friction-free, Apple-tax-free framework worldwide, we'll return Fortnite to the App Store worldwide and drop current and future litigation on the topic.

NO FEES on web transactions. Game over for the Apple Tax. Apple’s 15-30% junk fees are now just as dead here in the United States of America as they are in Europe under the Digital Markets Act. Unlawful here, unlawful there. 4 years 4 months 17 days.

My Shogun Mega Village🔥
My favourite build to date. I found this waterfall and fell in love. Took roughly 25hours over a few days. So happy with how it turned out!
I absolutely love building in #LEGOFortnite

In @MustardPlays @LEGOFortnite build challenge I made a fully functional Ferris wheel! Super happy with how this turned out, even if the process to get it working was super scuffed lol. Thanks Mustard for having me! #LEGOFortnite

We made some more tweaks to LEGO Fortnite :)
👹 Nerfed Brute's poison attack and Frost Scorpion's explosion.
🕷 Critters have less health, and Spiders under rocks are more rare.
🐑 Petting rams drops Heavy Wool.
🥏 Grapplers can be used 30 times!
⛏ More durability fixes!
Yesterday we let you know we buffed the max durability of all tools and weapons by +30%, but we found an issue.
Rare and Epic tools and weapons weren't buffed enough. We've fixed this and you will now see their durability increased by 60% over what it was previously 🙌

⛏ Builders - we've heard your feedback and have buffed the max durability of all tools and weapons by +30%!
Please note, items you've already crafted may appear more damaged, since we increased the max durability they have.
Newly crafted items will have the new, higher max!

When building LEGO Fortnite, we had one simple phrase that shaped a lot of our thinking:
“Fortnite is the canvas, LEGO bricks are the paint.”
Love seeing everyone’s paintings so far.

Steerable airship in @LEGOFortnite #LEGOFortnite relatively cheap to build and probably the fastest and most flexible way to get around.
