@mikekasprzak Thank you, glad they were helpful!

@CANAL_RDS @EpicGames @FortniteForum @FortniteGame @Brasil_Fortnite Heya, sorry just saw this today. Checked with the UI team, have a fix for some of these cases in 7.20 (releasing tomorrow/today). Hopefully fixes you up, please let me know if it doesn't after the patch.

[Billy Bramer @EpicIrascible]

@maurymountain RIP.

[Billy Bramer @EpicIrascible]

@Tarheel0416 That's some dedication! When we do have internships, we definitely make them paid though...interns contribute a lot too! Tricky bit of internships is we need to have people free to train/mentor interns too, so sometimes when crazy busy it's not always a good match.

Ack! Haven't been active on Twitter in a long time, sorry if you've tried to send me a message!

[Billy Bramer @EpicIrascible]

@kayrouzj A valiant effort!

@giaki3003 Sorry I've not been on twitter much lately, did you ever get this resolved?

[Billy Bramer @EpicIrascible]

@Tarheel0416 We do have paid internships sometimes, though I don't think any openings are active right this moment.

[Billy Bramer @EpicIrascible]

@kayrouzj Sadly not, I'm at home this year. Hope you enjoy the show though, I loved it the one time I went!

[Billy Bramer @EpicIrascible]

@Rhydonal @nickchester @FortniteGame @EpicGames Yikes! Did you contact customer support? They would be the best equipped to know. I'll also see if I can find out, but I would start there.

[Billy Bramer @EpicIrascible]

@HostileAssets Not sure if all that comes across as a bit of a generic answer...was it helpful/useful at all? Anything I could clarify?

[Billy Bramer @EpicIrascible]

@HostileAssets For actual hard skills, for our gameplay positions we generally want to see evidence of solid C++ knowledge/usage and existing work related to games.

[Billy Bramer @EpicIrascible]

@HostileAssets But really, can't stress the personality/attitude part enough...part of finding a new team member is hopefully finding someone who fits in, gets along well with the team, and is happy/excited to be there!

[Billy Bramer @EpicIrascible]

@HostileAssets For gameplay, we like our engineers to also have some design-sense, like the ability to break down why a game made the choices it did, why it succeeded/failed, why a mechanic works, etc. Generally want to feel like an applicant can contribute to making fun experiences for players

[Billy Bramer @EpicIrascible]

@HostileAssets Hmm, that one is tricky. For me personally, I predominantly look for people who have relevant experience but are also always willing to learn new things. I try to make sure applicants have an attitude that shows they know how to work with artists, designers, etc.

[Billy Bramer @EpicIrascible]

@DOPEITSTOM Haha, need that dedication to the bit!

[Billy Bramer @EpicIrascible]

Argh, just saw the news about Visceral :(. Hope they all land on their feet soon...loved Dead Space.

[Billy Bramer @EpicIrascible]

@ChronicSmoke666 @FortniteGame @DarrenSugg @EpicGames Nice! I approve of the balcony usage.
