What is Fortnite UEFN aka Creative 2.0?
In the latest chapter 4 season 2, Epic has revealed a free application available in the Epic Games Store. This application gives the players the liberty to use tools from Unreal Engine 5. It allows the usage of some of the most innovative features, such as Lumen lighting technology and more.
With the help of UEFN, any player can create their own designs, develop assets and publish their works for millions of other players to enjoy. The application uses a new programming language created by Epic called Verse. From demos and reveals, it has been revealed to be a very easy-to-understand language that will help many creators overcome barriers and create with their hearts.
What is Creator Economy 2.0?
Creator Economy 2.0 is the remodeling of the ecosystem that will earn the creators money for their designs. Previously, players could enter a creator code while buying in-game items to support their favorite creator. But after the revamp, 40% of the money made from in-game purchases will be transferred to an “engagement pool” which will be paid to the eligible creators.
According to the official blog, Eligible creators will be determined through these metrics:
- Player Popularity: Islands that attract new players and re-engage lapsed players signal an experience that Fortnite players love, so the number of players newly joining Fortnite and lapsed players returning to Fortnite contribute to this calculation.
- Player Retention: Islands where players return day-to-day and week-to-week indicate compelling gameplay, so consistent play, and returning players contribute to this calculation.
