Fortnite: Save the World Dev Tracker

Birthday wishes are coming in hot! We'll get this figured out. Thanks for hanging in there while we sort through this kind of stuff.

u/jjay554 24 points·2 days ago·edited 2 days ago Why is there so much bacon in toilets???

I guess I don’t understand this question. Where else would you keep your bacon?

Speaking as the Vice President of the Steel Wool fan club, that would be amazing.

u/HelenaLeonhart Are husks people? Most importantly are mist monsters people?

Husks and mist monsters are not people. We have hinted about the origins of the storm creatures, eventually you will be able to discover the answer yourself in game.

Yes.

u/codygray3d First of all, I just wanna say how great the narrative/writing team has been doing with the event dialogue. I've literally laughed out loud almost every event. It's always so funny and not cringe-y in the least. The voice cast, especially Ashley Burch, has been doing a great job of bringing the script to life. My question is: What is the general process of coming up with "event" story lines? One of my favorite things about Save The World is the frequent events. How does your team put things like Fortnitemares, Blockbuster, and Into the Storm together story wise? Do you usually have to work around a pre-existing quest structure or do you decide those kinds of thing?

Once we’ve agreed upon the basic content and theme, we split up into our smaller teams and ...

u/chrisd848 What's it like working with Ashly Burch? She's such a talented voice actress, does she ever bring an improvisation to the script?

I could spend this entire AMA talking about how talented and funny Ashly Burch is. She’s exactly as fun to work with as you’d expect. Ashly does improvise in the studio, and many of her improvised lines make it into the game.

And while I’m at it, I want to call out our entire cast for doing such great work. I feel incredibly lucky to be working with such a talented cast.

Of course you do! We plan on expanding on character lore as the story plays out.

We don't have anything planned for him right now, but I really want to bring him back into the game again.

u/Uttermostdeer5 Please tell us more about the creepy easter eggs in fortnite. I not only want more underground jail cells with trapped children skeletons and empty wheelchairs at the edge of a cliff. But the little tidbit stories to them.

The artists and designers on STW love using ambient storytelling to bring the environments and theaters to life. Sometimes we’ll write these into the story, but I think it’s nice to come across something new and unexpected.

Right now I am watching someone add a new easter egg to Canny Valley, so I promise you there are more on the way. No child skeletons though. They’re not there now, and they won’t be there in the future. We think that would be a bummer.

u/chrisd848 Will we ever getting to have Lok's amaxing voice and french Ray? :)

I think it’s safe to say that Lok’s announcer voice will return at some point. Announcer Lok was really fun to write and Tom Kane’s performance was incredibly well done.

(Pretend I wrote this in French) French Ray is very mysterious. She may return, she may not.

u/xOGx_Hermes 15 points 2 days ago Is there a....Ms.Smasher?

I don’t know, but you made me laugh out loud.

The narrative team is based here in North Carolina. The team sizes changes from time to time, but right now we can all comfortably take one car to lunch.

He was just imagining his future fatherhood. Thankfully. The world is not ready for Dennis Jr.

u/tiger_boi The single most unbelievable part of the story isn't the storms or the husks... It's the fact that all the remaining people seem to get along...

I’m going to share a brief anecdote - Shortly before I left Seattle to join Epic in North Carolina our neighborhood was hit with a power outage. The summer heat and netflix-less boredom drove everyone outside. Thanks to the power outage we threw a surprisingly fun impromptu block party. Many of us had lived side by side for years without so much as a “hello.” and now we were finally getting to know each other. It was great. And then the lights came back on, and the moment was over. We went home and went back to ignoring each other.

That moment stuck with me, and it became something I thoug...

A lot of our process is very collaborative. I don't spend too much time working on my own. We work together to define the concept and tone and once we have a nice, clear picture of where we're headed I jump right into writing the script.

We will be learning more about Dr. Vinderman, but I don't want to spoil the surprise.

u/Sebastiao_Pereira How come Ray has two kids (according to the Blockbuster event) even though she's a robot?

Dennis assumed she had kids, but Pop, Lok and Kevin are her roommates.

Reasonable.

u/PigMayor Will we ever learn the name of that yellow pyramid-shaped robot in the Commander Support Crew? We know Ray (the blue one, the leader), Pop (the grey one with a red helmet that was temporarily evil after going into a rift), Lok (the 7-year old yellow-and-gray one that speaks in farm sounds), but the yellow pyramid-shaped one still hasn’t been named. He/she needs to be known too!

Kevin! We’ve been waiting for the right moment to introduce Kevin, and that time is now! Now-ish. Eventually and probably very soon.
