THE PATH is a Fortnite map made with the new engine developed by Epic: Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN).

In this project I worked as a level and gameplay designer using all the assets that fortnite offers to build an incredible map with an unique atmosphere, and as technical designer, implementing events and game mechanics through the new code language for scripting created by Epic, and that it is planned to be in Unreal Engine in the future, Verse.
This opportunity arrived when a couple of members of the team found a job offer of a studio looking for UEFN devs and designers. We applied without not so much confidence, but when the studio sees that we are all members of the same team, they made us an offer for working all together in this project. We love to work together so is not surprise for anyone that we accept without doubts.
Although we have no experience in Fortnite Creative, and UEFN just have been released 3 months ago, with our experience with Unreal Engine and a little bit of work to learn the capabilities of this new engine, in a couple of weeks we were able to work at full speed.
We wanted to made a map that uses the full potential of UEFN and made a difference with the huge amount of maps in creative that, with a little bit of changes, remain the same. So, taking movies such as Maze Runner or DnD: Honor Among Thieves as reference, we came up with the idea of a mutable, living labyrinth as a team battle royale map.
It has been a very awesome project and truly educative that allow me and the rest of the team to learn this new engine and get familiarized with Verse, which is really good, not only becouse it is neccesary in UEFN, but becouse it must be necessary in Unreal Engine, so learning before anybody does is a really good manouver.
