The "Clickbait-ification" of Fortnite Creative Maps (caused by UEFN)

The previous title for this video was "I Think UEFN RUINED Fortnite", so if anything didn't quite make sense after clicking and reading the title, that's somewhat why.
Lately the Discovery Tab has just been filled with the same exact copy-pasted, oversaturated thumbnail/genre, playtime-farming maps. So, this video was made to sorta rant about it. Nobody else speaks up about it so, why not?
This video and script was rushed so any question you have will be answered in the comments. To clarify, I mean that most creators are simply using UEFN to get more players as Fortnite pushes UEFN maps way more than standard 1.0 maps.

Fortnite is an online video game developed by Epic Games and released in 2017. It is available in three distinct game mode versions that otherwise share the same general gameplay and game engine: Fortnite Battle Royale, a free-to-play battle royale game in which up to 100 players fight to be the last person standing; Fortnite: Save the World, a cooperative hybrid tower defense-shooter and survival game in which up to four players fight off zombie-like creatures and defend objects with traps and fortifications they can build; and Fortnite Creative, in which players are given complete freedom to create worlds and battle arenas.

I don't think it's necessarily the system's fault or else your game would've remained popular, it's just that the target audience prefers the low-effort maps. Because well, they're kids. If they see skibidi or something, they'll play it all day.

[@krispychiken5279]

The reality is that unless Epic changes how maps get pushed out or a heavily known creator pushes out a unique map, I do not think it is going to change. I'm also very surprised that Mini BR and Zombie maps are not as popular. I know they are not really original since STW and BR exist, but with those maps, you can at least get at least somewhat of a different experience through different environments or possible new weapon. It is a shame cause I would play a Creative Zombie map with a unique boss like how the Storm King from STW.

[@Nitr0hSquared]

Literally no popular creator knows how to make good maps. Just search “new creative map” or something on TikTok and all you’ll see are duplicate maps from verified accounts or something

You Are So Real. I Had An Idea Of Making Maps Myself but seeing all of These “Good Quality” maps Pop off I Just didn’t think I was Good enough and I brb couldn’t bc I a Minor :D

[@phuckieu7806]

I've been getting into making UEFN stuff specifically because I see all this garbage on the main page and want to improve it. However it's definitely demoralizing knowing that red v blue skibidi toilet boxfights level up 100+ is going to outnumber anything I could make, because quality stuff takes time, while easy slop can just be tweaked and reposted constantly. Ideally what Epic should do is limit the amount of each genre can show up at the top of the list, so there's only a small few boxfights/parkours/prophunts, and the rest are pushed down to make way for more novel experiences. In the meantime, all we can do is find good maps, and boost them as much as we can. If you see something you thing is good quality, share it; show it to your friends, post it on youtube, anything to help get the creator encouraged (and paid) so they will be more likely to produce more quality maps. Then it might even catch Epic's attention and get featured.

[@Nitr0hSquared]

Exactly. Sharing and shouting-out good effortful maps are kinda the only thing we can do right now (if you cannot make maps yourself). I think the way Epic features/promotes maps on Twitter and Discovery kinda pushes creators to make maps like this because "if everybody's making this and getting money, why shouldn't I?" Thank you for this comment.

[@StrayKittenStudio]

Very good Video on this topic. Its insane how the current system works just as KZbin does, with the Thumbnail beeing more important than the actual content. I also feel like actual ingame gameplay preview images would help many maps to show what they are about, the current system is pretty lackluster. But I do believe it will improve once Verse gets more features as very good maps will always find their audience, but we will see!

So true. I honestly don’t understand why there isn’t a threshold on Discovery for maps. Something like… once you’ve had X amount of time and/or have X,000 of CCU’s then you’re on your own so another map/creator can get a push. Then it would leave a map that’s been pushed and done well to maintain its user base on its own merits (which this stuff you mention would not) and it would stop the cycle of garbage (to an extent).

@@Nitr0hSquared YES! !!

[@Innerspacezombie]

their are problems outside of creators control that make this worse too. like that unreal engine is hard to learn and use to its full potential, that the weekly updates breaking SOMETHING your map really incentevises creators to go with simple map designs, that the market is very overasaturated forcing creators to clickbait more and more to stand out and that the players of fortnite are primarily children who don't care about findng new experiences and just want to crank 90s and emote and aren't going to be interested in objective-based gameplay or PvE maps or maps with a story or other things like that which require them to step outside of their comfort zone.

[@babakaros3d]

It's funny how absurd your starting statement and your thumbnail are. The fact that the discovery tab is full of box pvp and red vs blue maps has nothing to do with UEFN. On the contrary, UEFN gave us the abilities to create more intricate games with complex mechanics and better environments while those maps most of the times can be made with Creative 1.0 tools. What you describe as a problem, which objectively is, has a completely different root than the one you suggest, and it's the algorithm used by epic to promote maps. Because this algorithm, and the fact that the maps that get paid well are those who perform well and not the high quality ones, the discovery tab is full of low effort games. If that was to change, the discovery page would look completely differently.

[@Nitr0hSquared]

UEFN is mostly why every single Red VS Blue, Tycoon, Box PVP, and Box Fight are the exact same asset flips now. It's also mostly the reason why basically 99% of maps are straight dogshit because Epic decided to leak the creator earnings so now people start spamming absoloute slop made with UEFN (for stolen models, verse code, and UI) with stolen thumbnails and other things for a quick buck. Before UEFN I was actually able to find good, unique, and somewhat high-quality maps. But ever since it came out it's basically IMPOSSIBLE. Every row, every map is just the same exact "LEVEL 1 BV LEVEL 999" thumbnail with over saturated colors, or completely misleading high-quality renders just for the map to just be a zone with item spawners, cars, and a massive empty terrain. Me and my friend everyday play Creative for HOURS, and most of that time is, I kid you not, spent on actually finding maps. We have played every single map in the Zombies category TWO MONTHS AGO and it hasn't changed. We have played every single map in the "Epic's Picks" row, every map in the "New In UEFN" row 5 days in a row, and now we genuinely cannot find anything to play because everything is the EXACT SAME down to the UI and Sounds they use in these Tycoons or "Zombie" maps that just end up being a tycoon with 5 zombies sprinkled around.

[@babakaros3d]

@@Nitr0hSquared Again, nothing wrong with UEFN, what you described once again is the problem the monetisation and the algorithm created. The tool itself has nothing to do with the fact that you can’t find quality maps inside discovery. It is like blaming the printer because your local library has low quality books. Hope you understand what’s wrong with your argument.

[@Nitr0hSquared]

@babakaros3d The algorithm has been tweaked to prioritize UEFN maps over 1.0. Easily proven by there rarely being 1.0 maps. It also doesn’t care about quality, but cares bout player count. These kid slop maps stay on discovery so long because they’re almost always paid to be promoted on TikTok or player-botted. This could easily be prevented if Epic better enforced Creator Rules and also did proper Quality Control on UEFN maps (which I know they have, as they deny maps from being approved for reasons such as “Gameplay needs improvement”, but very rarely). Hope you understand what’s wrong with UEFN and Creative in general nowadays.

[@babakaros3d]

@@Nitr0hSquared What you said above is indeed true, but not one of your points proves that UEFN ruined Fortnite Creative. We seem to agree on the problem but one of us chooses to blame the tool while the other understands that it emerges from bad management on Epic's side. Remember, UEFN is just a tool. Creators use the tool to create games (both good and bad). Players play those games. Epic promotes the most played ones. Out of all four, you choose to blame the one that isn't responsible at all for the Discovery's state.

[@Nitr0hSquared]

I'd like to agree that it's just the tool, but look at the timeline. Ever since it came out and Epic decided to leak the earnings of UEFN maps, it's all gone downhill. More spam maps came out that haven't been punished, more scams (like The Pit blatantly breaking two creator rules yet still being Featured and praised because it switched to UEFN), more drama based around UEFN, Creative 1.0 (non-converted) maps rarely being shown at all on discovery or always with low player counts, maps actually utilizing UEFN to it's full potential not being praised nearly as much as spam maps solely because the spam makes more money for Epic/The Creator, I could go on. Again, I'd love to agree that UEFN is simply a tool that's optional to use, but it really just seems like it's a complete replacement or that it's mandatory to use to get anywhere at all in Creative. It seems like making these shitty spam "Zero Delay" or "Box PVP" maps are mandatory to stay on Discovery for longer than a day or even get ON discovery. Notice how most if not all popular Fortnite creators/youtubers aren't trying to make anything unique or revolutionary, but instead just copying others and making the exact same zero delay maps, box pvp, or RVB with zero changes or differences other than "your favorite youtuber made it". What's usually the main selling point of the maps? It's made with UEFN. It's like if you don't even say that it doesn't get plays. I may be repeating myself and excuse me if I am, but Discovery is literally tweaked to prioritize UEFN maps. There is zero actual quality control, zero actual spotlight, none of that. Yes, "Epic's Picks" may have like 5 maps that are a tiny bit different, but notice how they're always below 100 players. Notice how maybe 1-2 of them aren't even unique or different than the average spam map. And ironically, notice how it's always BURIED down in Discovery. Look at the tab literally named "New In UEFN" that's, of course, almost always full of the same spam maps with low effort thumbnails and clickbait titles. Now to go a tad off-topic, would I still use UEFN if I could? Yes, though I can't because I'm on Mac. I feel UEFN when used properly is an amazing tool and I basically have to use it because Epic is slowly burning 1.0's UI/UX to the ground right now. But, when UEFN was announced I really did not like the idea of it. Not sure if you know what it is, but another game I create in called Rec Room did a simular thing before Fortnite where they allowed creators to use Unity to make games in Rec Room instead of doing it in-game. And unsurprisingly, the exact same thing that's happening in Fortnite is happening in Rec Room which is basically another reason why I hate UEFN: it ruins UGC. It really hurts Rec Room because the game is literally completely built upon UGC, but since people can use Unity and Rec Room has bad moderation, it's basically all low-effort spam. That's all.

[@DmodG]

I agree with multiple things in the video. One argument I have though is that UEFN didn't cause these maps to get "popular". But rather the way discover handles the map showcase process.

[@Nitr0hSquared]

Thanks, and apologies. I just think it’s how Epic pushed UEFN maps meaning they automatically got popular because people think they’re high quality.

[@AndrewMycol]

I think this problem is not just for UEFN maps, but also for streamers/content creators who do the trends that get alot of views versus doing something unique and original. It goes back to the argument of "Do I make something that is actually genuinely cool but doesn't get alot of plays, or do I hop on the train where if I copy/paste something that is "working" but I don't enjoy doing?" UEFN has alot of potential for people to make cool stuff, but unfortunately the kids that play these copy/paste maps aren't interested in those other maps :(

[@Nitr0hSquared]

I agree. While UEFN itself didn't just CREATE the issue I spoke about, it definetely amplified the issue beyond the horizon and still persists to this day. It's really Epic's fault for not properly rewarding uniqueness and creativity but instead rewarding people who bandwagon others and get popular. This is proven by Epic recently promoting the most popular RVB map that was a copy-ception of other RVB maps. It's also why I haven't really made any videos or devlogs recently because the creative scene is just very dry and boring for content and motivation to create anything. EDIT: And touching on your "the kids are interested in other maps" that's also because Epic doesn't promote anything but what's been popular for years already or is of a oversaturated genre.

[@Moolapie]

The problem isn't UEFN, it's the curation system. If Epic actually hired people to push interesting maps the problem would go away, but they instead push Red v Blue, Tycoon etc maps because that's what people play... and that's what people play because that's what gets pushed. It's a never ending cycle of shit, but it has nothing to do with UEFN

[@Nitr0hSquared]

The entire map doesn't have to be ultimately breath-takingly unique. Sorry if I came off like that. Don't be discouraged though. Keep creating the map and try and build an audience (tiktok, twitter, etc) before publishing the map so it gets a head start out there.

Have to agree with you on the repetition of the maps, but as a creator seeing everyone play these maps when you have 0 playing yours and you’re not making money… then what do you suggest? Keep making maps that no one will play?

[@Nitr0hSquared]

Extremely good point-Yes. If you hop on that bandwagon it wouldn’t last long. But if you make something that genuinely looks fun to play or is unique, then promote it before it comes out, you’d most likely get a head start in Discovery. I’ve seen creator pages where they started out making maps with zero promotion/marketing and then having no players, so they’d try copying other maps like Box PVP or RVB and those failed too-leading to them quitting Creative all together. Simply just theory, though.

What are the similarities?: - Both have awful recommend tabs that only push the more popular games to the top (typically when I play Roblox I play games with less players active) - both have very young fan-bases that the people making these maps can exploit to profit off - They are both given too much ‘free assets’ and the majority of games use it to avoid extra work Both are amazing platforms but both have big flaws with their systems.

UEFN Creators when discovering Sketchlab (they will base their entire game on it's free models):

[@TessTickle-e1m]

More creators should make maps like nick eh 30’s theme park

[@MoonGuy7070]

I was so excited for UEFN and then.. yeah..

[@Nitr0hSquared]

Honestly I wasn't.

[@istoleyunomilesbigmac]

there should be a mini br filter its the only playable thing

[@rodrigosoto4827]

Fortrnite needs an algorithm that actually helps you find games that you'll enjoy and filter out all that crap. I stopped looking for good maps because all I'm shown are tycoon crap.

[@User-d6l6t]

I know that this would make even more slop maps, but I really wish Epic would allow people who don’t meet the age requirements to be able to post maps, just without the ability to make money, because I spent 2 weeks working on a map to realize when I was almost done that I can’t post the map at all, even when it was just something for me and my friends to play.

By the way, good video. I really want to create a unique map that stands out of that copy paste $h!t that you see when you load in the game. Have a great day guys❤

[@fxbiani]

yea it’s a shame, don’t really know how you solve this though from fortnite’s perspective. I happen to also be a map maker who’s gone through this exact process. I mean shit, I wanna make money and no one gives a shit about actual creativity, so why not just pump out red vs blue garbage?

[@Nitr0hSquared]

Fortnite can do more quality control and actually enforce their creator rules better for starters.

[@fxbiani]

@@Nitr0hSquared ok but how do you practically enforce quality control, what does that mean from an actionable standpoint? And what creator rules? Copyrighted material has definitely been a gray area but although everything is very similar, it’s different enough to be considered transformative, so again not sure how fortnite fixes this. Not on anyone’s side just genuinely curious

[@Nitr0hSquared]

Quality control could be: - checking thumbnails for oversaturated colors, clickbait, AI, non-related/misleading content - a dedicated team for reviewing maps with high traffic in short amounts of time after being published or being reported - listening & responding to player reports (email, Twitter mention, in-game) about maps - preventing the use of UEFN solely to appear higher in Discovery ("New in UEFN" tab is pretty high up) / to create islands mostly made up of free use models from third-party site like Sketchfab I can go on.

[@Nitr0hSquared]

A quick read through Fortnite's Island Creator Rules and a scroll through some popular discovery islands will tell you that some of them just don't give a shit about the rules. For example: The Pit by Geerzy violates 2 rules. 1.9 Play by the Rules: The island has multiple boards at spawn signaling that if you Like & Favorite the island, you will be granted a gun that is otherwise unobtainable anywhere else in the island. Keep in mind you can Like he same mal multiple times and it DOES add up. 1.11 All Bets Are Off: The creator recently added a "Lucky Wheel" mechanic to the island allowing players to spend money to get a random weapon. The issue is that you can do the exact same thing for free on the other side of the map with the "Random Load out" button.

[@fxbiani]

@@Nitr0hSquared very interesting ideas, appreciate you taking the time to give thorough responses. Interested to see how things with UEFN develop over time

[@TacoBear_Studios]

I have two maps that took months to make and they're sitting at zero and go way better compared to most of the maps that I see in discovery it's a travesty.

[@-DEYRA-]

Even if i agreed with that you just have to realize the amount of money you can get with Fortnite map is absurd so if a current meta work map creator will do what work to get that bag

[@judeaurelien9842]

I don't think this is a problem with uefn but more with the way fortnite promotes maps which you describe in great detail I agree with everything else though

[@Nitr0hSquared]

Thanks:

[@Ongez]

I gotta say, the goal was never really about empowering creators. Just look at how they make it a pain for users to report any creative misconduct. You can't report maps in-game; you've got to go to the website, and even then, it's hidden at the bottom of the page. They're not keen on shutting these maps down; they want them to stick around because it boosts the numbers for the business. That way, Tim Sweeney can use it in his presentations to investors and push his dumb-ass idea of a multiverse, claiming it's doing wonders for Fortnite. Meanwhile, he's putting people out of jobs because his shit business choices just to outdo Valve and act like he's the bastion of morality (which he clearly isn't).

[@Nitr0hSquared]

I've reported a creator for sending me death threats in DMs/tweets, sending gun images, and being racist to Epic and although it was solid proof it was them they said "we cannot do anything about this as it's on Twitter and not Fortnite". ??? I've always found the lack of reporting in-game so odd.

[@conditcatsog]

Uefn isn't ruining fortnite it's the moderation and the xp clickbait was here before UEFN and it is a problem when the wrong thing is being blamed it can add hate that really wasn't necessary especially since uefn is a cut down version of the most powerful game development tools on earth another thing is that it has insanely high reward for creating spam because of the engagement system gives out so much money that alot turned to absolute greed which contributed to the massive problems in the system with discovery tab being overwhelmed by new maps everyday

If you watch this video knowing it's a rant and made to critically speak against the maps shown, and you decide to start playing it, that has nothing to do with me. The entire video is made to bring awareness to these kids of maps, and the only way I can clarify and show proof/examples is by SHOWING THE MAPS. I never at all in any capacity said "but anyways, go play and check out these maps!" at all in this video. I do not like these maps (clearly).
