For a game that’s magic has always come from the amazing authentic human art behind it all, these skins should concern anyone who sincerely cares about Fortnite.
If Epic Games are willing to turn AI generated art into skins, who’s to say they won’t start relying more on AI generated art to create original cosmetics going forward?
It doesn’t matter if these skins were 3D modeled, they still relied on an AI art for its concepting stage. Seeing this stuff in-game is actually so disappointing & disgusting. Like I had said before, it’s an insult to all the incredible artists who’ve worked on this game and all artists in general.
well that was fast! just met with a studio head for a really cool game
said the team was super impressed with my work and would love to have me, talking with everybody more on monday. fully remote, great pay, hard problems to solve
chat we are so back 🥹
I was laid off today after 2 years Epic Games.
If you enjoyed the maps in C7S2 or C6S3, The Simpsons mini-season map, or IP collabs like KPOP Demon Hunters, Superman, South Park, Doja Cat, and more, I was the Lead Environment Art and/or Environment Concept Producer for them.
FULL TUTORIAL: HOW TO PAY THE F** BILLS (for you @TimSweeneyEpic)
• Give to SAC code a limit of $100 per month for every creator
• Remove UEFN Payouts completely and give people the ability to vote weekly for the favorite maps. Most creative and fun maps will get rewards. This will make creators to be more creative instead of making maps just for the money. Also you can give vbucks to less successful maps instead of money
• Stop making new modes that die within a week and return LTMs
• Return old Battle Passes, rare cosmetics and focus to return old collabs instead of making new ones
• You want more? sell your 12 yachts and stop spending money on fighting apple or whoever else
today has been a whirlwind of emotions.
thank you, genuinely, to everyone that’s reached out to me today (a former coworker even sent me a milkshake). i’m still going through them all (and will continue to do so). reading how much you all appreciate my work has been so surprising and uplifting on such a shitty day.
i’m really, really going to miss making cool stuff happen for our players. that was the guiding principle behind everything i ever did.
seeing how many of my former colleagues are as confused as i am about my departure is definitely validating too.
i’m very grateful (and thankful) to also already have many studio leads and recruiters reaching out about roles they’d like me for.
i’m gonna go grab a beer and watch the rest of the canes game. 💚🦖
i have done so much for this company and our games
so many late nights
so many weekends
so many live events, and competitive events, and new features, and new seasons
solid performance reviews every time
with multiple people mentioning how critical i am and what an impact i make across multiple teams
just to be thrown out
i don’t get it.
guess who got laid off today! 🫠
i am genuinely so confused and bewildered
like, i spent the past week debugging the rivalry system while recovering from pneumonia
and just in the past few days i’ve had multiple directors tell me how much they appreciate everything i do
@EpicNewsroom You’ve paid UEFN creators more than $720,000,000 but then claim you don’t have money to pay your own employees and developers? You guys have no shame.
