Are you still using .WAV files in your #UEFN projects? Your wasting space! The .OGG format is much smaller and near same quality. I always used those sketchy online sites, so vibe coded my own tool. Desktop App : createunreal.com/oggconvert Web App : ogg-convert.lasthobby1.chatg…

- Desktop version is a bit more powerful and quicker. - Web version uses browser to process files, It's local and doesn't upload your files to a server. - I couldn't let it look ugly so I also added some appearance settings for your liking. - Leave any feedback/comments here🙏

This was a fun one to light in UEFN
These cinematics were done inside UEFN and recorded in real time in-engine. Hand-animated using Control Rig. The environment is a mix between custom and Fortnite assets. One of my favorite trailers of this year, as well as one of my favorite movies of the year.

We had the amazing opportunity to work on the CLAYFACE trailer Fortnite integration. We recreated movie scenes using Fortnite assets and a custom 3D Matt Hagen model. Here is a comparison of the original shots vs. our recreations.

We started Chartis with one simple question: “How do we help UEFN creators become successful.”  We’ve had quite the past 3 years, working closely with creators big and small, from @BirdoBro and @dagwummy -shoutout GDC 2024- to @FeRinS_FN @HazeCoding @TeraCreators , @ChitaZ , @ManuA12, and @jaythofficial just to name a few of the 150+ creators I get to spend every day with.  But the stakes have changed. AI is opening up exponential possibilities for creators on Fortnite and Roblox, but also new entrants like Google Playground, Spawn, and Astrocade. We’ve bootstrapped Chartis for close to three years, and now the opportunity to help hundreds of thousands of new creators be more successful means we need to scale and accelerate. We’re taking investment from @MrDylanCollins , Maximilian Bleyleben, and their Attention Holdings vehicle to 1000x what we’re already doing. Dylan is well known in the UGC space (he’s founded multiple successful companies including SuperAwesome, which Epic Games acquired) and Max has scaled multiple companies (including SuperAwesome as co-founder & COO). More importantly, they are joining us full time, bringing immense firepower to our already incredible team. This is the evolution of Chartis, going from bootstrapping to accelerating - (still fueled by Yerba, beers, and vibes) We’re focused on launching more services and initiatives for UGC creators on Fortnite to help them become wildly successful. But we’re not stopping there. AI has clearly opened up the gates to people who like games but could never (until now) become game creators. The future’s wild and we’re just getting started. LFG

LFG. Big day for Chartis, but an even bigger next few years ahead. The future is bright, and we can't wait to build that future alongside everyone else in this community.

It's the easiest way to get ready for the update without having to stress at all. Games that have these new assets WILL get more players. If you don't want to deal with it, let us!

Our team helped bring this awesome game to life!
Tank Royale is popping off 🚀 One of the games from the Chartis Mobile Incubator! Huge credit to @ThisPotatoGuy , who built the game and has been shipping nonstop. Our team has been working alongside him on player experience, monetization, analytics, discovery, thumbnail testing and live ops. We stayed close to the data, found the biggest problems, tested changes and kept iterating with him. This is exactly what we wanted the Mobile Incubator to do: back great creators, stay hands on where we can help, and give strong games a better shot at reaching their potential. Proud of Potato and the team around this one. We want to work with more creators building ambitious games like this. #Fortnite #UEFN

There's now a virtual Best Buy you can visit in Fortnite, including minigames and quests where players can earn exclusive rewards
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The post claims players can earn exclusive rewards including a Best Buy-themed back bling via quests on the Drive City Creative map, but these are map-specific (not added to permanent Fortnite lockers or usable elsewhere). x.com/backersgamesf/… corporate.bestbuy.com/2026/fortnite/ dexerto.com/fortnite/best-…

Total nerd post. I recently got a 3d printer and printed this awesome Axolotl VS Capybara set I downloaded. I needed to make a custom container for the pieces and modular board. So I designed the Chess Crate!
