Fortnite: Creative Dev Tracker

It's a good idea. We call this sort of thing "channels" and it might be something we introduce to Creative. We're still talking about it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes I think so. We originally did support this. It's not as simple as it seems. You're cut/pasting a plane and moving it while there is a pilot and 4 passengers, one of the passengers uses her Phone to copy a Driftboard, and someone is riding that while repositioning a wall. And then you cancel the cut, what even happens to all of those players? It's better this way for now, trust us.

Right. Saving is not actually the problem, we will be able to handle that. The main issue is available memory on your console or computer. As soon as you start moving things around we risk running out of memory and crashing. Every single release, the Battle Royale map is actually very carefully tuned to be as richly detailed as we can possibly make it without overflowing computing resources, so there isn't much wiggle room for inline tweaking.

Yes we're going to look into it!

How would you imagine that working? We've discussed it a few times. If we allow resizing in anything other than multiples of 2, then the tiles will be "off the grid". This has consequences for structural support, trap placement and other things. However, it's possible we could have "prop versions" of many types of walls, floors and ramps. It could be interesting!

Bigger patch. This feature (copy and paste multiple props and tiles) is currently in testing and could make it for the next big update, but plans could change of course.

That's an interesting idea, having an area outside to use as a scratchpad for props. One thing that will help is being able to place parts directly from an in-game Creative Inventory rather than having to drop down an entire gallery. This feature is still very early in design stages but it will hopefully be coming later this year.

I definitely think that we want the HUD and player labels to be customizable. But it would be a ways out. Right now we're focused on polishing the general game flow and elements of the HUD, scoreboard and in-match menus we have already. After that starts to feel high enough quality we will certainly be looking at more UI customizations for creators,.

Yes we're investigating CTF currently, and Team Elimination modes are already possible. We're also looking into a 1v1 Duel mode.

We've talked about this feature many time and I think there is a high possibility of us adding the ability to drop "statues" of your favorite skins. We haven't started to work on this yet though.

Unfortunately it's not possible currently with how Fortnite works. Long term, you never know though.

We definitely want to add this. Thanks for the suggestion, it's a great idea.

Yes we're planning to allow much larger islands. It might be awhile before there are truly huge landscapes to work with, as it requires quite a bit of new technology for dealing with memory budgets and network streaming of assets. We'll get there though.

Edit: Typo

What's a Kevin? ;)

Good idea! I can see how this would be useful for low gravity modes and such. I'll follow up with the team. Thanks for the suggestion.

YARRRR.... AYE

Yes. I believe Zak responded already about this, but plans are in motion.

Yes absolutely, we really want everything to be highly configurable. Each release we try to expose more and more "knobs" for customizing the experience you want. Really nothing is off the table.

Yes we're planning to add "Duel" mode support for 1v1, winner stays on.

Good question. There's a good chance we'll be able to introduce the different building tiers into Creative. The reason we haven't explored it yet is because they tend to use up a lot of memory, because every combination you can edit a wall or ramp into is stored as unique data and needs to be loaded all of the time. We'll be looking into it though!
