UEFN Project / Design Director

At Electric Square, my team’s project was creating maps for Fortnite’s creator platform using Epic’s scaled back editor, UEFN. These maps were developed simultaneously with small teams across ES’ studios (UK, Ireland, Malta and Singapore) and covered everything from twists on Tilted Towers using predominantly Devices, to an all-out custom gameshow experience using extensive Verse, cinematics and custom gameplay.

We partnered with a top Fortnite streamer, NickEh30, to both promote and play the experiences, but also to help provide expert advice on the development of the gameplay. We were also able to use NickEh30’s specific branding in the maps, allowing for custom decoration and VO, bringing his community into a more immersive experience.

As Design Director, I worked with Producers on scheduling and prioritisation, the Designers on features, levels and system and my fellow directors and leads on strategy and breaking down client feedback. I also dipped into editing some levels when needed, which was fun.
