Dynamic Range: A major goal for Rift Tour was to achieve a sentimental moment. An expression of support, during trying times, in a way only Fortnite can. Take a moment to help each other, and elevate one another.
#RiftTour
Player Fantasy fulfillment. We aim to surprise and delight our audience, with a relatable mechanism pushed to maximum potential. Everyone knows what a hammer does…now “make it sick.”
Highly recommend running the
@FortniteGame
The End event on the best quality settings for your platform. Tons of effort goes into making all quality settings the best we can.
Tests that never shipped. First time I was experimenting with Dithered Masked mats and motion blur for water. Tests for a character made entirely of water we were planning...
Keep the Collision Course Lobby Track on repeat! 💿
Come collect this track being given away as a part of Collision and keep the hype going until the event tomorrow.
@FortniteGame
destruction system got a massive upgrade. The FX team has been focused for awhile. Massive re-factor to core system, that touched every world asset in the game.
It's all procedural Niagara driven. Not only better quality, but fewer assets to manage!
Hope everyone enjoyed today's
@FortniteGame
Event, so much inspiration here. These massive experiences are the future of interactive storytelling, active participant rather than a passive viewer. Thanks for helping us defeat the I.O.
When you and the team work so hard, and get the response you were hoping for. Thank you to everyone who has been with us on this
@FortniteGame
journey.
Welcome back Kevin.
This week Fortnite fans broke ANOTHER record…

Did we mention, Next Gen

is running Real Time Fluid sims. Not talking cinematics here, in-game explosions, fire, and liquid.
Was a massive effort by the entire Epic FX team, and we're just getting started.
We'll continue to roll-out more Niagara Features.

This season so far has been a blast! Possibly the best launch season of this chapter in my opinion, and as for my tradition, I made a movie poster to commemorate it so far. Hope all of you like it!

It's a small detail, but usually our event timers count down to 0:00 and there's been a slight delay. For our Collision event the team invested effort in having everything time up to hitting 0 when Paradigm launches the mech.
Way to start things off with a big bang 💥
We're blown away by the response to
#FortniteOG
. Yesterday was the biggest day in Fortnite’s history with over 44.7 MILLION players jumping in and 102 MILLION hours of play.
To all Fortnite players, OG and new, THANK YOU!
Incredibly proud to have been a part of this. Humbled to be a part of such an amazing group of developers who always go above and beyond to make our Concerts one of a kind! Congrats all!
We're humbled and proud to share that Epic &
@FortniteGame

It’s an Epic day! You now have the option to use your LEGO Account to sign into your Epic Games Account 🎉
Keep your eyes peely-d, look it's just the beginning 😉
Old hacks, are good hacks, have perf benefits! Old test stuff from early Paragon days. Test SubUVs, obvious alpha and jitter problems. Separate alpha/depth passes. Depth rendered by distance from outer boundary of fluid, to center of container. PerVertex Directional Lit shader
The beauty of this is, no pre-fracturing of meshes. It's all managed via Mats, Niagara, and BP. The system is also fed a vector to determine which direction and velocity to launch debris, by impact location and damage type.
How do you get ready for a musical experience like no other? With some free quests.
Complete the first wave of Rift Tour quests to unlock the Cosmic Cuddles Loading Screen and more!
Very excited for the Event tomorrow! Recently took on a new role at Epic, and for the first time I’ll get to experience this as our players do! No spoilers please!
The number of times we started a Fortnite event with ‘How the hell are we going to do this?’ It’s a lot like this video. Put all the ideas out there, even if they seem shit in the moment. This is also why safe spaces are critical to experiments and learning.
The
@FortniteGame
Team works hard to push the boundaries. I am constantly blown away by our team. Everyone challenges themselves to really reach for something new each time. Honored to work with them.
#RiftTour
Hope everyone enjoyed the Live Event today. Some heavy lifting by all parties involved. Especially proud of our FX and Tech Art teams who solved some tricky problems. Serious WFH efforts here!
Attending
#RiftTour
again today? Here's a fun tip. You can jump on the slide. Try jumping into the boost pick-ups, feels really intense. Another one? You get 1 flip/spin after you touch the ground in Cuddle World. Try saving the flip and do an acrobatic landing on the biplane!
We always aim to offer a great value to our players. The axe, screen, and emote are super tied to core Event experience. We hope that equates to lasting memories of a shared experience!
*No spoilers ❤️
To preserve the best Collision experience, we held onto some Crew items until the event was over! Your June Crew subscription includes the: Fully Operational Loading Screen, Light Blade Pickaxe, The Heartbreaker Emote, and more.
I suspect we’ll see a lot clever things happening in this and future seasons of Chapter 4. Really blown away by the
@FortniteGame
team and I love how they were able to integrate the latest
@UnrealEngine
features as well!
Last chance to see
#rifttour
coming in approx 4 hours, 6pm Eastern. One last tidbit? There’s a right and left path in the Staircase. Each is unique! Try a new route…pretty sure traversal emotes persist on teleports!
If you missed out, here's video of the entire Chapter 2 finale - The End event. Incredibly proud to be a member of the Events team. Surrounded by the most dedicated group that strives for excellence each and every day!
The dream, going all the way back to Paragon days.
@shaunkime
and the whole Niagara crew, crushing it with Eric Ketchum, and the
@FortniteGame
FX team.
The people have asked me to take it out of the box and I was too busy taking out of the box to reply! But if this is even a glance at the vehicles to be expected in the new season we are in for a TREAT!
