Flak: Hi Stephen! How long have you been playing Fortnite?

Stephen: I've been playing since the Founder’s release.

F: What made you decide to start playing?

S: I loved the idea of the game. A zombie game with a large loot system and the freedom to create your own structures is amazing.

F: What made you decide to start a Fortnite Facebook Group?

S: I admin other gaming communities and noticed at the time there wasn't a multi platform one for Fortnite after finding multiple posts hyping the game. So, I decided to start one for those people inquiring about the game.

F: Could you tell us a little about the group?

S: We are a group where people on all platforms can get together and discuss Fortnite related content, trade materials, exchange strategies, and find other members to play with.

This week we, chat with Fumiko, a Fortnite Veteran who has been slaying Husks since OT5. We asked Fortnite Executive Producer, Zak Phelps why he thought Fumiko would be a good choice for Player of the Week. He said, “Fumiko brings analytical depth and thoughtfulness to player experience and engagement. She also applies her analytical knowledge to player groups and gives feedback on improving group interaction. As a casual then dedicated player, Fumiko has given invaluable feedback on improving game mechanics across all types of players.”

Over the course of Fortnite’s development, we have been lucky to have Alpha players who have been here since the very beginning. They have given us helpful feedback, played countless hours, and answered loads of questions to help other players learn more about the game.

We’d like to show our appreciation and recognize the people who have become valuable members of the Fortnite Community and are helping to shape Fortnite into being the best it can be. Haysleyez is one of those players.

“From OT1 to OT11, Hays is always a constant and always present, playing, providing feedback, and helping in any way needed… even putting Fortnite ahead of sleep,” says Executive Producer Zak Phelps. “Hays is equally good at playing as providing amazing examples from other games that would make Fortnite better. Many of the quality of life improvements have come from conversations we've had about the game. Hays is an amazing player and contributor!”
