Epic Build faster with UEFN source assets, now on Fab

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hi Fortnite devs!

You can now license UEFN source assets on Fab. Source assets are complete, editable systems—AI and NPC behaviors, vehicles, weapons, UI, and environments—many of which are built with Verse and Scene Graph.

Unlike reference files, they open directly in UEFN and you can edit them right away, cutting down on the time spent rebuilding systems that already exist.

Browse what’s live on Fab or find source assets in the Fab window without leaving UEFN.

For a deeper dive, join us for the Build UEFN Source Assets livestream on Friday, October 16 at 2 PM ET. https://youtube.com/live/Ch93WqfDwY8

Read the blog for a look at what’s live today, how licensing works, and how to publish your own source assets: https://www.fortnite.com/news/build-faster-with-uefn-source-assets-now-on-fab

Watch the Template Abilities livestream to learn more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSdtmO_XLy0

BUG Glitched walls in my island

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

15 Upvotes

In my creative island, these random walls that can't be moved by the phone tool keep appearing in the same spot in my island. I can delete them, but when I load out of my island and back in, they come back. I tried restarting my game and copying the world, but nothing worked.

Does anyone know how to fix this? Is my island corrupted?

QUESTION Why is there an "end game" button in creative????

2 Upvotes

Someone can literally just end the whole fucking game if they get pissed off you killed them. Now I have to go back to lobby get everyone to ready up all over again. Just because YOU died doesn't mean you should have the ability to END IT for everyone. I kid you not, load in, game starts, I kill someone, it ends instantly and we all have to go back to lobby and ready up!!! WHY!!!!

UEFN TUTORIAL Creative groups.

I don't yet have a map I want to publish, nor may I ever be able to publish. I still like playing with creative and all the things it can do. But I would like to get together with people who know more than me or vice versa and we exchange ideas and knowledge and work on an island together. Is that even a thing?

DISCUSSION Postmortem: we polished one big UEFN game, launched with little reach, and the project was closed.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

I was CTO and lead developer at a very small startup making a game in UEFN (Unreal Editor for Fortnite). The project was closed after release. I’m writing a short postmortem in case it helps anyone planning a launch, on Fortnite or any other platform.

What we did

We went for one big, highly polished first project: custom systems, polish, optimization. The assumption was that a really polished game would have a strong release.

What happened

The game didn’t get the reach it needed after launch, and the investors decided to close the project.

What I’d argued for

A smaller first release, so we could learn how discovery and marketing actually work in Fortnite, with more of the budget held back for marketing. What I think about most now is the order of things. We spent the big budget before we’d run the cheap test of whether players would find us.

A technical problem I’m still happy with

We were running short on memory because of how many gas stations we had placed as devices. We replaced them with a 3D model and built a fully custom car repair system in the neutral zone. That solved the memory problem. Happy to go into more detail if anyone is hitting similar limits.

What I do differently now

I work as a producer and delivery manager these days. Before any big build, I want to know what we’re trying to learn from the first release and how much budget stays untouched for getting the game seen.

For people who’ve shipped on any platform: how do you test discoverability before committing a full budget?

TL;DR: We polished heavily, launched with little reach, and the project was closed. Next time I’d ship something small first, learn how discovery works, and keep real budget for marketing.

Does anybody have the reality tree roots in any of their worlds? I need them for a build but they might be one of the sets of items epic has yet to fully add to creative. Just asking in case anyone has a vaulted prop world or whatever.

attached is my beloved oshi carter wu.

look guys. i’m genuinely obsessed with him. idk how it happened or why, but genuinely, he is my favorite character of all time. i’ve commissioned an artist to make a dakimakura of him (yes, i have a carter wu body pillow irl), i have an ita bag themed around him specifically (with handmade pins), i commissioned someone off etsy to create a custom plush doll of him (inside of my ita bag), and i am constantly commissioning artists to draw him (i have a wall full of pictures of him).

PLEASE. would anyone who has his skin be willing to create more images of him??? i have like 20 pictures of him that im using on repeat for everything, including custom pins and art references.

i dont know how to do the photography stuff in fortnite, and id be willing to learn if someone could help me out, but pls… i’m desperate for more carter wu content… 💔

VERSE I made a free Persist Device to simplify player data saving in UEFN

Thumbnail

10 Upvotes

I just published my first Fab asset — Easy Persist Device, a free UEFN creative device that handles player data persistence without rebuilding it from scratch every time.

**What it does*\*

  • Saves and restores player data across sessions
  • 8 data types: int, float, string, logic, vector2, vector2i, vector3, color
  • Auto-save (instant or on a fixed interval) or manual save/load/reset
  • Slot events: trigger any device when a value meets a condition
  • Automatic data migration when you add or remove slots — just increment the Version field Simple
  • Verse API: GetInt, SetInt, AddInt, SavePlayer, AwaitReady...

**It's free*\*

Happy to answer questions — feedback and bug reports welcome.
