Can't say how proud I've been watching my brother not just while he's worked at Epic, but his whole life! Every end is just a new beginning. Love you, Donald!
After an incredible adventure, I will be retiring from my role as Chief Creative Officer at Epic this month.
I have enjoyed nearly 25 years in the game industry collaborating with some of the most talented people ever and I am so proud of what we have made together. From the
My icon skin origins: “the game did wind up with some memorable cast members, including Peely, the weird banana man. He exists in the game to troll Mustard’s younger brother, Chad, who has hated bananas since childhood. As an adult, Donald would buy Chad joke banana gifts and
Look, I know people are working hard to solve the issue. I can't imagine the stress right now at Epic. BUT, we've got to find a solution for UEFN developers. Losing an entire day of dev time is MASSIVE for those on strict deadlines. We need to free UEFN from the

You want to know why racism is still a thing? Just go read the comment section on Epic's post. Parents, you need to do better about talking to your kids about this issue. You probably need to change too. Your needs are not what's most important right now!
I understand Epic needs to follow the DMCA protocol, BUT there need to be consequences for those abusing the system. If you file a DMCA and it’s false or no lawsuit is filed then the accuser should have a one week discovery ban on their map. Then only legitimate legal claims will
@LeoxyFN
We have to action DMCA and trademark requests as required by law.
Here’s the formal process that kicks off when a valid counter notice is filed (directions for this are in the takedown notice):
- The original reporter may file a legal suit within 10 days
- If they don’t file,

maps now! And am SO humbled that even after just a few days of publishing, my maps already have over 5k CCUs. Go watch my most recent YT video for the full story or just go play my new map...I think it's fun: 4699-7548-7382
Had a dream last night where I was talking to an old man who was dying, but he was so happy. I asked him why he was happy...he said to me "If you want to die happy you need to live happy." Been thinking about that all morning. What makes you happy? Live it.
This week I’ve been married to
@ReynaSkadayna
for 5 years! Feels like 1 year and 20 at the same time. It hard to believe how much has happened in that time. Suffice it to say, with out her support what I do now would be impossible.
5 years ago I had zero kids…now I have 4! Life happens fast. Being a dad is by far the best thing I’ve ever done!
I’m also grateful for a Dad who showed me the right way to be a Dad.

Happy Birthday to my brother
@DonaldMustard
! Saying I’m proud of him doesn’t quite do him justice. I’ll just say I Love him and I feel lucky every day that he’s my brother. (PS: I miss early 90s fashion)
Epic is doing the hardest part (near impossible) of building the true metaverse...bringing countless brands and IPs together in one place. Amazing!

Fortnite x Naruto will be added on the 16th along with a Hidden Leaf Village Creative Hub. The cosmetics & hub are *PLANNED* to release on that day @ 2 PM UTC / 9 AM ET (If the time changes please don't get mad at me lmao)
Won't go into more details, but prepare your wallets lol
Happy Birthday to

! Can never really explain how much I look up to my brother. I doubt I'd be as driven in my own goals if I hadn't watched Donald work so hard to achieve his dreams. (One of my favorite photos of the Mustard Men...no one told me to wear dark colors)
My discord got hacked. I know. Not sure why someone would want to do that to my community we’ve tried to hard to keep cool and safe. But we will get it worked out.
Considering doing an "Exposing Scammers" type vid where I call out creators who abuse Epic's systems. I usually try to stay positive especially w/ community members so I hesitate to do a vid like this. What do you think, would this help to bring attention or just make it worse?
I’ve kept this a secret for 420 days! A little over a year ago I secretly started a gaming company with

Hey
@FNCreate
, when will start seeing these “punishments” you talked about? We have a few top creators abusing the system even after being warned over and over again. Even now the top maps still bait kids but call it good because they have tiny disclaimer print saying the
I am just sick.
YESTERDAY...I found a lightning bolt violation in a VERY popular map with over 20k concurrent players.
The interaction was hidden behind a player count so moderation wouldn't see it. These creators are so damn sneaky.
I reported it via in game and messaged
Officially reached every goal I set for my channel this year! Can’t say how excited I am about it, but I’m even MORE excited for what’s coming down the road!
I don’t like to share numbers too much, but this one I’ve been wanting and pushing for, for a long time. Seeing 7 digit views in the last 48 hours for the first time in the history of my channel just blows my mind. Love you all!
This is about 3 weeks later than I wanted it to be, but I made a REALLY fun Side-Scrolling Mario race game in

called 2D Obby Dash! Has a lot of advanced race mechanics in it too. Go check it out! MAP CODE: 9378-4865-3391

Uh oh...hoping there is some leeway & warnings with this as Epic has NOT been strict on this AT ALL in the past. Some TOP featured maps have had IP issues. In fact Epic clarified at one point that the creators take on the responsibility of IP infringement & not Epic. We will see!
According to a new Creative blog post:
Those who create violating content in UEFN - even if they never intend to publish it in Fortnite - or share violating content on social media, will face content takedowns and enforcement actions, up to and including permanent account bans.
One of my discord members (Hsoj) made this skin concept, and I know it would never happen, but I would LOVE something like this! Mustard pick axes too? Sheeeeesh!
POPULAR OPINON: I LOVE Season 6 of

a lot! I actually want to play Battle Royale every day for a bit and think it's a ton of fun. This season is great for the casual community, which makes up probably 90% of the player base.
#ThankYouEpicGames
Sad for those effected by Epic's layoffs today. I know what it's like to fee great uncertainty and worry about your future. In my experience, the most uncertain times for me were the beginnings of better opportunities.
I know how much hard work goes into Fortnite. Thanks for one of the most innovative games of our time. Thanks for the incredible moments/events/memories, and for multiple game modes that have given me thousands of hours of fun. Can’t wait for what’s next!
#ThankYouEpicGames
Welp, our plan for cosmetics with the ratings update didn’t hit the mark.
We're working on a few new options that we hope to have in place for say... some sort of big in-game event. Stay tuned, we’ll keep you posted <3
I Liked the
#Fortnite
event! Felt more like a Creative event than BR though. Loved the interactive stuff. Definitely wanted more story. Excited about the new island! Did NOT love being kicked out though. That was not cool.
Donald used to be HIGHLY critical of all movies. Then I noticed he almost always said the movies he saw were AWESOME! I asked about this change. He said “ I started hating movies because I was always looking for the bad. Now I love them, because I’m always looking for the good.”
In my very limited experience I find LIFE to be…
SO VERY EASY to become Jaded. Aloof. Hard. To see all things through ‘the lens of ‘reality’. The sooo easy, worst lens.
It’s wayyy harder, but incredibly more awesome to choose to look at life through the lens of:
CONFESSION: I live in constant fear that my channel is just a few videos away from dying. It's not an all consuming fear, but a constant drip in the back of my mind that's always there drip, drip, dripping. One of my goals in 2022 is to turn that off. I have no idea how though.
