The games we've long wanted, which didn't exist because they'd cost several times more to make than they'd earn back, will soon become possible. As will the games developers wanted to build, but couldn't with the resources available. It'll be a new golden age of gaming.

Zombie Escape Tag is 2 years old today. Maintaining this game and building studio around it has been the hardest thing I have ever done, but milestones like this make it worth it. 2 years later, we are still seeing growth and new players getting to experience the game for the first time, and I am grateful for that.

I'm really proud of the rank icons I designed for this project. We wanted to create something new instead of reusing the existing FN rank system, so it would stand out and be instantly recognizable as the Pro League brand. Always invest in art, It goes a long way.

Really happy to announce that @BloomGames has partnered with @Clix on Pro League Endgame. As a former pro my self, we prioritized high performance and a cut throat ranked system that could have real rewards. This map just the start to a series of hyper competitve games.

The map controller device didn't have the settings we needed for a proper radar style minimap, so I decided to build my own. Each player is represented on a global coordinate grid that is then mapped to a scalar parameter inside the material, then updated via verse fields in UMG.

All UEFN devs that feel your thumbnail is getting incorrectly flagged as too similar, here is a bug report to add to and vote for: forums.unrealengine.com/t/th…
Thumbnail detection AI is not working correctly and wrongly flagging our thumbs

Thumbnail detection AI is not working correctly and wrongly flagging our thumbs

Summary For map 4829-2803-4516 we have a warning that our thumbnails are too similar to others despite that these are completely hand made and cost hundreds to get done and there is nothing out there...

Things are getting a bit tight on my end, so I’m looking for work. I’ve spent the last few years building in UEFN/Fortnite Creative. Designed systems, shipped multiple maps with millions of plays, and focused heavily on player experience, retention, and performance. I’m open to whatever makes sense right now: • Helping on existing projects • Contract work • Full-time if it’s the right fit If you need someone, I can jump in quickly and help. If nothing else, I’d appreciate a share. DMs are open.

One of the more useful Scene Graph updates was the addition of "SetPresentableToPlayers()". This method can be used to set per-player visibility of entities, and is how we built this dynamic weapon wall, where players see different rarity backgrounds depending on their upgrades.

We replaced the mystery box with these Orb collectibles. It is much more fluid to run through and collect them than it is to stand by the box and wait. Another feature that we learned people really love is the dynamic interactions, like elevators, breakable props, and traps.

Some epic escapes from ZE 2. Our goal is to make chaotic, fun moments like these constant, so it always feels like you're in an action movie. Balancing the game is our biggest challenge, where a single item like a grappler or impulse grenade completely changes the difficulty.

Going to start posting more about Zombie Escape. Quite proud of the menu system UI I did for this project, so I'll start with that. The layout is inspired by Fortnite's lobby menu on mobile, and it was built using a combination of WBPs, custom buttons, and verse fields.
