fun OG fact:
if you were playing BR like 30 min before the marshmello event, you may have heard a booming voice saying “attention all fortnite gamers: the concert will begin shortly”
that was me testing to make sure the new system a couple people and i wrote for it was working
the comments on this post are horrible, and the people that posted them should be ashamed.
a prime example of why game devs usually just stop talking publicly about anything, because we don’t want to read death threats or people saying we should be fired.
do better.
Excited to share something that I’ve been working on for the past year! The team knocked our overhaul of Fortnite’s locomotion animations out of the park and I couldn’t be more proud to have been the producer for it!
We have recovered from the technical issues we were experiencing and the game is back online.
The final encore of The Big Bang will begin at 11 PM ET. Save the World will remain offline temporarily and other ‘By Epic’ experiences will be disabled shortly beforehand.
Downtime
GAME DEV FUN FACT:
every time someone gives very helpful and constructive feedback like “fix your fucking game” we intentionally go and break one (1) additional thing
The curse from us opening Pandora’s Box has lifted - v29.00 is live! ⚡
Thank you everyone for being patient with us while we worked through this extended downtime, it’s greatly appreciated.
shoutouts to the hotel restaurant waitress who brought me free lunch since i’ve been sitting here since breakfast and “we saw you looked really stressed out”
real MVP
it is *never* okay to harass game developers over the game they work on. never.
don’t do it.
we are actual, real people who have actual, real feelings and care a lot about what we do.
Hey everyone, we encountered an unexpected issue during our maintenance and we need to extend downtime at least 8 additional hours.
We apologize for making everyone wait longer than usual to drop into Chapter 5 Season 2 of Battle Royale. The team is working through this as
Over 12.3 million concurrent players participated live in Travis Scott's Astronomical, an all-time record!
Catch an encore performance before the tour ends:
i love how i will be pressing a button on my laptop while sitting on my bed in my new house (bc my office chair hasn't been delivered yet) to start the event for millions of people
the epitome of jankiness
fyi, if you aren’t involved & your response to this situation is to:
- make jokes
- insinuate that you care more about a game than the people who made it, or
- harass/berate people who just got laid off (what the fuck)
you are a dogshit person who deserves nothing good in life
all i’m asking is that you please take a moment and think about the multiple months of peoples’ time that gets spoiled by people revealing things before they should be revealed.
and, in that same vein, how much we love to surprise everyone.
It’s all out now 😌
Every pixel on these screens represents 100 hours of conversations. I gave every conversation, every early morning, every late night - everything I had. Every single person on our team did the same thing. Hope you enjoy ✌️
god i’m so tired of seeing that dumbass nickmercs tweet on my tl
such a shocking twist that popular “just leave the kids alone” streamer-man was actually just a full-on transphobe asshat the whole time
trans men are men
trans women are women
trans rights are human rights
I ‘think’ this is the first time we kinda drew out our crazy idea. The idea to evolve Fortnite into a ‘Place’. A place where you could have all sorts of different agency driven game and entertainment experiences with your friends - all connected by your ‘hub’ (your locker,
watching the streams of people in our events and seeing their reactions is always the absolute best and never fails to make me smile
get ready for season 8👀
glad you all enjoyed the evebt so much; it always makes me so happy to see everyone’s reactions! really makes all the work worthwhile.
hope you’re ready for the new season 😎
hey
@TwitterSupport
can you tell me how this isn’t a violation of your policy against hateful or threatening content?
because someone literally threatening to kill me sure seems like a violent threat
the piano at the end always gets me, even after listening to it so many times because one of my contributions was the functionality that sent everyone to the black hole
also today’s announcement of LEGO Fortnite, Festival, and Rocket Racing is extra special for me
my job is weird and hard to describe (and very fun most of the time), but it means that i got to work on all 3 of them (along with C5S1)
it’s really fucked up how a streamer can be outed against their will and almost end it all and people are making light of the whole situation
some of y’all are homophobic as fuck and need to re-evaluate your shitty lives
Begging for people to understand that content creators/others online are real people. Don't treat them any different than you would a stranger in public, PLEASE respect boundaries.
it does not feel like it’s been 7 years lmao
what a crazy ride it’s been, all from a “hey do
you wanna come help work on this crazy idea”
i feel old 👴🏻
also:
i’m not even sure how much it helps anymore since this platform has become such a hellscape, but please report any tweets that you see where people are threatening violence or death or are harassing people for their physical characteristics
maybe they’ll get disabled?

it gets lit via replication through my system/service that powers live events (and other things like the War Effort voting from a while ago). if it's glowing, you're fully connected. simple way to narrow down what the issue is if people have problems.
told you it was mundane lol

@FNFestival
is everything i hoped it would be
also we have 850k people playing a rhythm game 20 minutes after we launched it…
