Dear

developers. Better syntax highlighting is on its way!
Instead of working on my map, I spent today building this for you, it's not finished yet, but a dent has been made!
This theme is custom and is highly inspired by the visual assist dark theme.
Hello Verse++!

Whilst “the game is the game” may be true, this was a very unprofessional move by a UGC studio.
Everybody gets what’s coming to them, karma makes sure of that.
Tom has been nothing but a pleasure to speak with and learn from, show him some love folks.
He’s one of the few

I'm conducting an experiment where I neither play a map myself nor do I promote it in any way.
This goal here is to learn more about how the discovery algorithm responds to generic content.
I'm curious to see if this gets any discovery time ever!

If you're interested in creating a custom template project for
#UEFN
:
You can go to your installation of "Epic Games\Fortnite\FortniteGame\VKTemplates", and follow the structure epic has used to create their templates.
Is there an easier way? This is pretty simple imo...

I've built many cool tools and backend features, often hidden under NDAs, unseen by my family and friends, that makes me sad...
It's why I advocate for embracing a creative hobby that you can share with the world.

A few folk have asked me about what to look out for when choosing marketplace assets to buy for their UEFN games.
To my surprise, none of them were using the orbital market when browsing assets.

Very interesting, the test map was uploaded on Feb 7th, and has still not had a single minute in discovery!

Since we don't have access to 2D arrays or tuples in the editor, i've had to resort to 1D arrays and then using the sequence equations from year 9 math to automagically transform those arrays into tuples for friendly API use.

Trackers are currently the only completely safe way to save data between sessions, they persist through new releases. The only way to remove the data is to reset it or delete the tracker.

It was a gun game within a unique map. I purposely targetted that saturated market to see how discovery may be effected by the influx of maps releasing in that genre on the day!

From a UX perspective, I feel like it’d be nicer if you had a gradient effect where the stronger the shot, the darker the color (green -> red in reference image).
And maybe have it fill from left to right based on kick strength, is that correlated to sliding time btw?
Cool

I loved the simplicity behind halo 3's rank & level system, and in general, the entire UI framework, it's the absolute goat in my opinion.
What do you guys think

Maybe adopting a less cluttered and more streamlined UI design?

Don't panic when you experience errors, instead take a breath, read the error message, process it, analyze it, and attempt to solve it using your mind, that's how you'll progress the fastest.
Also search the digests for features before you search google / discord / twitter 👍
