LEGO Fortnite Creative is DEAD

[@SeeDaveRun]

Happy 2025, everyone! I hope you enjoy the new video! Let me know your thoughts on the current state of LEGO Fortnite 🤔

[@foolisz_]

This wave of pure brainrot and uncreative maps in games aimed for children is simply sad, these games should inspire creativity in kids, but instead, everyone seems to want to make children dumber for money i miss games like club penguin

[@WaifuDealer]

Please never stop making videos fr. Ur literally the best Fortnite creative KZbinr and u deserve more views seriously.

[@SeeDaveRun]

Much appreciated!

[@zJexx]

Still not nearly as dead as rocket racing 😢

[@SeeDaveRun]

Honestly more sad about that personally, I really enjoyed Rocket Racing for a while, and I still think their official maps are great

[@I.S.M-g6n]

@@SeeDaveRun I heard that Rocket Racing was originally going to get a Season 3 and 4 but (via the leaked 2024 roadmap) but it was cancelled due to lack of players

[@AbsintheSol]

dont diss on fortnite festival like that

[@SeeDaveRun]

Seriously, I was very surprised, because when I wrote the script originally, and recorded it, the player count was sitting around 2k. But when I went to capture the actual shot I used in the video the very next night, it was popping off.

When a Daddy Lego man and a Mommy Lego woman love each other they are going to want to express that love, physically. Probably a special socket or something.

[@SeeDaveRun]

A special, well lubricated socket

I seriously love your channel. Ive always searched for Fortnite creative related content and never found something worthwhile but your channel is an absolute goldmine

[@SeeDaveRun]

Thank you so much! There's a lot of great creators out there who have been doing this for years, so it can definitely be tough to stand out. I'm happy to have created such an awesome niche community over here!

[@zontopho]

I joined the Fortnite creative program to create cool LEGO islands but quickly found out how restricted things were. I found ways to create my own custom models via porting from mecabricks to blender to UEFN, making size checks along the way to make them 1 to 1 to the prefab scaling, but was told by the moderation team that if I was to use these then I would quickly be moderated.

[@SeeDaveRun]

Sounds about right, sadly. Doing anything that potentially comes even slightly close to infringing on a brand they're actively collabing with will usually get hit sooner than later. I had a TMNT inspired map that was up for months without issue, then a couple days before they announced their official TMNT Creative collab, they struck me with a cease and desist just because I had TMNT in the name.

[@jemandd1123]

@@SeeDaveRun You should be able to republish your map I think since now they actually are allowing TMNT Maps

[@bombingame6587]

2:40 just want to add back in October there was a promotion where if you beat the map you will get 2 free decor bundles that I think will be sold in the shop at a later date

[@rubaboodraws]

You should start using Ava back your thumbnails

[@SeeDaveRun]

I love Ava, and I still use her skin all the time. But I've gotta have my own brand that's not directly tied to someone else's IP for the long run.

[@DraconicAux]

About the LEGO brand protection issue, they are so worried about it that they REMOVED custom names in LEGO Odyssey. Now you have to use names from the pre-set list of goofy ahh names for your animals and bases. Seems like an idiotic change since you can still build “interesting” symbols in the game anyway…

[@-8h-]

The way i see it: why make anything in lego creative when the character movement/mechanics suck, and whatever you think of to create you could make much better in fortnite creative. Im not surprised its a wasteland.

[@SeeDaveRun]

Yeah, there's nothing there that makes it unique from regular Fortnite Creative. It's 100% a step down, kinda sad.

[@vulpinitemplar5036]

I found the LEGO Dreamerzzz map to be pretty fun, was like a team deathmatch score attack kind of thing where your team's score would increase/decrease depending on how many objectives your team held, had no comeback mechanic though so once your team is losing people usually just left instead of hanging around, LEGO Fortnite's combat isn't amazing but it worked well for a fairly short chaotic map :)

[@gabetodisco]

It is so nice to find content focused on Creative Maps! If possible, please do a video about the growing number of “roguelike” maps and what are the best and worst in your opinion. Keep up the good work!

[@SeeDaveRun]

I'm glad you liked the video, and thanks for the concept! Been considering making shorts focused on smaller topics like that, so will keep it in mind

[@ThatGuyNickTV]

I’m glad Lego makes their own maps because we’ve yet to anyone else make a Lego map with some quality imo. But Lego creative definitely needs a lot of new tools and prefabs

[@SeeDaveRun]

I would honestly rather they fully remove LEGO Creative from public access, and just have it be fully flushed out and well developed maps directly from the LEGO Group

[@RipplyAnemone67]

2:37 Lego has done stuff with horror before specifically in video games. Lego dimensions was horror slightly, I mainly am just referring to 2015 and Lego dimensions. The Doctor Who level scared the shit out of me as a kid with the weeping angles part of it. They had the special death animation also the space hub world creeped me out same for Lego Batman 3 and the moon and green lantern planet. Also unrelated but I’m suprised how little has been done with ninjago and Fortnite. Hopefully this chapter and the Japan theme will change that it’s just that ninjago has over 15 seasons to pull from.

[@ChrisGerardson]

HEY! Leave Festival alone!

[@DaveMaguire]

There's a lego color switch map that is genuinely fun with friends (sorry I don't remember the code)

[@bryanu1737]

thanks for helping me not waste my time on these lego game modes like you said the imagination is so limited and bland, and in general the lego gameplay feels so STIFF

[@RetroKnight24]

Well, The only reason I play Lego is for AFK XP... I run it and go AFK and At the end of the day I get Tons of XP to finish my Passes since I have crew

[@RawGator]

first SeeDaveRun vid of 2025 lets go

[@SeeDaveRun]

First of many! I'll probably drag you into a few more 😂

[@princetbz1102]

You are very correct on the limiting creativity aspect.

[@DraconicAux]

The players playing the Natural Disaster Survival game are just kids that played the very old and popular (and original) Roblox game.

[@Sensor_Beam]

LEGO Fortnite Creative is NOT DEAD. Despite the lack of builds you can use, that still doesn't mean the shop is forcing you to buy builds, there's plenty of pre-made builds and options that you have earned from LEGO passes or already have in your inventory for free. There's also a lot of room for experimentation so that you can figure out what works and what doesn't. As much that some gamers want violent or unlicensed themes in their modes, I'd rather just follow with the rules and only come up with something that is appropriate and friendly for all players. And if they don't want to play my mode, then that's completely fine, and I hope that they can find or make something that interests their tastes. To make fresh and interesting LEGO Fortnite Creative modes, creators have to think outside of the box of what the norm is usually bringing out that later on becomes stale, there has to be uniqueness. As for LEGO Fortnite Brick Life was made for a younger audience and to make you feel as if you're playing inside of a giant dollhouse. It's simple, easy to navigate for starter players and doesn't feature heavy or graphic violence. Plus chat is allowed for party with voice/microphone or with their implemented text-to-chat feature. This is a zone which allows you to take a breather or break from the action-packed LEGO Fortnite Odyssey in case you need a change of pace or something to relax and chill with. Lastly don't even bother with the low player numbers, like I said before: everyone has their own tastes. Even if creators have made a brand new custom mode that turns out to be very popular, having to look back and forth at your player count may seem like a good thing, but the more you monitor that number it leaves you with some concern that when it starts to drop, you lose confidence and eventually lack of doing future support for their said mode. I'm not saying here as to give up, but to keep trying out new ideas and seeing what the player audience thinks or wants to see.

[@SamCamacho-ik2pf]

Please make more vids bruh they so interesting🙏

[@Luna-cn4pj]

Also yk fall guys is in fortnite too Like what happened to that game mode

[@SeeDaveRun]

Much like Epic Games themselves, I frequently forget that that's even a thing

[@Charosaur10]

The issue with the modes and their creative versions is that no one wants to put in an effort to make a good and fun map, the ones you show are great but are overshadowed by ai maps and Lego only up The best example I could give of this is racing, the community could’ve made really cool and unique races but instead made “Racing Only Up 2” This all stems from epic not monitoring the environment they are trying to foster, and it really sticks, amazing things can and have bern done but they are very rarely shown Overall, I’m hoping epic really cracks down on maps and map makers because it is very unfortunate the way it’s turned out as of now

[@SeeDaveRun]

They can't "crack down" on a lack of creativity

[@Charosaur10]

@ That is true, but I mean just monitoring what maps people make, like all the brain rot maps should be deleted objectively

[@SeeDaveRun]

While I do agree the whole community would be stronger without them, that is definitely not objective, by definition. Just like KZbin, in a system like this, anyone should be able to create and post, but you need a strong algorithm to ensure people don't have to sort through everything themselves to find what they've already shown you they enjoy

[@Charosaur10]

@ thats true, I should’ve thought more before I commented, back when only content creators could only make maps creative wasnt the best thing ever either

[@JackTrahanOfficial]

Most of the stuff from Odyssey and Brick Life are not in bc the Lego UEF and was made on the battle royale islands template while using the Lego character plug-in but the odyssey doesn’t you can tell by when you email it when you email out as a Lego in the US and islands your email sticks to where it is when you unequipped enough but I don’t wanna do it in the official Epic Games Middle Lego stuff doesn’t also the inventory is different so if to port the stuff from odyssey and brick life to Creative, now they have to remake it completely, which I don’t think they thought ahead of that because that’s a lot more process. If they just made it on the original Brooke life in odyssey version like they do with all the other ones we want to have a doubt this problem they can put it right over. It wouldn’t be a problem you know what it’s because they wanted to be like battle Royale version so all the Battle Royale peiple and play the Maps.

[@Westernsaturn123]

[@pvinkreverie]

[@ThePizza3d]

At least with Festival you can play the songs for free on rotation

[@SeeDaveRun]

But there's only a handful of songs you can play each week, and that gets boring real quick. They're counting on you getting bored and spending that nearly $5 worth of V-Bucks on 1 song.

[@ThePizza3d]

@SeeDaveRun kinda, some change daily, and you can find people in matchmaking who may have purchased more songs, so all in the party can choose them

[@Elion-c8t]

LEGO isn't the dead part. It's Creative as a whole. I have seen some absolutely wonderful maps that feel like full games. Rougelikes, COD Zombies maps with good graphics and first person, and just a bunch of unique ideas. But some of the BEST maps I have on my favorites, have like 0 players, 5 players, SOMETIMES 100 lol But 300 copy pasted Red VS Blue? Even so many from the same creator 🤪 It's so close to being the ideal Creative Experience in line with Roblox, but Fortnite players are obnoxious and sit on Twitter like "NOBODY LIKES THESE MODES ITS A SHOOTER" 🤓

[@Elion-c8t]

Oh man a lot of these are just maps that are very known parts of the Roblox community lol, the tycoons, the games that are just "number go up, brain go brr" and even that Natural Disasters one lol
