UEFN Dev | Map Creator
I’m always browsing for cool products to use in my maps — UI, Verse code, lighting systems, custom weapons, and more.
If you build interesting tools or assets for UEFN, feel free to share them with me. I might not purchase everything, but I’m happy to retweet great work for others in the community who might find it useful.
I’ve already bought a few products from creators I follow here on X, and I enjoy sharing cool things I discover.
There are some awesome people building in this space, and I’m always glad to support and highlight their craft.

I’m currently testing out the #UEFN #Scenegraph. I was surprised by how smooth the movement is—even better than expected—and looking at the FPS, the optimization is just incredible! I'm so excited for what’s possible with future creations.🔥

Hey @FNCreate, our Pillars Duo thumbnail was removed AGAIN because another creator claims we copied his.
This style is used by countless Pillars maps, yet we're being punished while he copies our UI and map designs almost 1:1.
He keeps reporting our thumbnails, even after we redesign them, until they get removed.
This looks like blatant abuse of the reporting system to target a competitor. If confirmed, this kind of abuse should have serious consequences. Please investigate this properly.

Epic Games has already faced regulatory action over deceptive Fortnite purchases.
Yet some of the biggest creators in Fortnite Creative are attracting thousands of players through misleading XP videos across social media.

Fake XP gains, hidden V-Bucks paywalls, and paid items falsely promoted as ways to earn more XP. This is deceptive advertising being used to scam players, especially kids, into spending real money.
And somehow, Epic keeps allowing these islands to operate.
This goes beyond Epic's Developer Rules. We're talking about deceptive commercial practices and potential violations of consumer protection laws, especially when children are involved.
Even if Epic allows these practices, does that make them legal under consumer protection laws?

@TimSweeneyEpic @FNCreate @EmptyTux @rhyan_epic
I documented how this works here:

Fake XP videos, hidden V-Bucks paywalls, and hundreds of promotional videos.
How is this still allowed under Epic's own rules?

The "Discover" section in Fortnite is in a deplorable state; some users are taking advantage of it to trick children into believing they can earn XP quickly on their maps—they are even broadcasting this live as we speak. Please take the necessary action. @FNCreate @EpicTofuChris

The reality is the Fortnite will never be roblox or a fair plaform for every game. It will always be BR with sidemodes and how stable your game is always depends on epics mood.
If you would cut all the BR Practice modes out of the ugc category it would leave like 10 playable maps that are unqiue gamemodes (Top 10 is the best example for this).
And Im not blaming players for not wanting to play these, most non br games on this platform can not offer a unique experince that you couldnt get somewhere else with less stuggles.
Comes down to:
1. Critical Features to create unique experinces are missing or always delayed
2. No Rewards for trying to be unique and playing by the rules.
Conclusion: you can either live with that or you have to look for other platforms that offer a more balanced platform.
Every single map is user-generated on Roblox and Fortnite wants to compete with Roblox.
With the current behaviour of discovery, Fortnite will never catch up.
The stats are embarrassing.
Fortnite: 550,151 in match now
Roblox: 13,233,848 in match now
The amount of creators like myself who want to see Fortnite do well in UGC and help push Fortnite, I truly think they have lost interest because they support bad actors who spam way better than a genuine creator, they make discovery smaller and display less maps. They allow the top creators to be in every tab and to top it off... The gave the top creators a top 10 tab.
My respect for this platform has gone. What topped it off for me was seeing more and more bad actors getting through moderation and getting 1,000+ players.
The other is seeing talented creators publish their maps and watch their map tank within 1 hour.
I have no hate for those bad actors. They know the hoops and loops and manage to pull down Epics pants, laugh and cash in on the $$$$$
I often question myself, why don't I join the band wagon and abuse the system.
Epic thinks we want a strict moderation system and a challenging discovery.
Not at all, just cap on how many maps can be published per week/month.
Put a cap on sponsored row. If your map already has over 100 ccu, you cannot apply for sponsored row.
It's that simple. Why on earth does a top creator need sponsored row when they already have tens of thousands ccu!

What a surprise.
Another map using Island Transactions to scam players into skipping a timer to receive a fake reward. Reported on these tactics months ago. XP, sprites, now the token.
How many more players need to be scammed? Will all V Bucks be returned to players? @FNCreate

Truthfully, this just highlights how fragile Fortnite's UGC ecosystem really is.
Creators already face the constant risk of their projects breaking due to updates and balance changes across BR and UEFN.
On top of that, we're competing for player attention on a platform where Epic can fundamentally shift player interest overnight.
I fully respect Epic's right to make decisions about its own platform. However, when the creator ecosystem is already struggling, changes like this introduce yet another layer of uncertainty.
Creators can adapt to change, but it's incredibly difficult to build something sustainable when the foundation you're building on never stops shifting.
UGC looks rough this season, but a lot of it is Epic’s modes getting huge.
At the same time each night:
Epic modes: ~310K to ~1.2M
Creator maps: ~200K to ~210K
Creator share went from 39% to 15%, but maps are still pulling about the same number of players.
Hours on creator maps are down ~20%. The last two November surges also faded in about 11 days.

For some reason it's buried in the forums without an official post being made, but Epic has finally made a temporary fix for this with a new extension you can download here: forums.unrealengine.com/t/v4…
Are y'all tired of having a million "Invalid access of internal function (/Verse.org/Verse/event:)Await from control scope" errors in Verse after the recent #UEFN update
There's talk Epic won't be fixing this for an entire 8 days, which is kinda insane bc I figured out how to fix it already:
The crux of the issue is the classic "Can't access a function from a preceding type" error we've been seeing for 2+ years in the digests now. Just Ctrl+X the entire Concurrency module inside Verse.digest.verse, and move it to the top of the file. No more errors :)

I have nothing against the creators here but @FNCreate wouldnt it be better to have a limit on sponsored rows cuz 130 hours is insane how can i compete with people like these , it feels like it never rotates its always the same maps @HaroldAtEpic #uefn

Hey @TimSweeneyEpic, I'm a passionate UEFN creator, grateful for what you've built.
I put so much into my islands, so it's discouraging to see stats like these yet stay at 30–50 CCU.
It'd mean a lot if you or someone from your team could take a look🙏
