In addition to learning the Unreal Engine for game and film development, I spent time locked up during the pandemic experimenting with the Fortnite Creative Editor.
It's a very interesting tool! I tried it on the X-Box console, so I was using a game controller of all things (less precise than a keyboard & mouse). You are limited to using Epic Games own pre-fabricated assets, but an upcoming tool update will let creative types use their own assets.
I have a working prototype of the game now, but will update with assets from my project to bring one of my ideas to life! What is amazing to me is I originally wanted to turn this into a VR experience years before Fortnite existed. But now they've enabled me to make a working game from this concept in my spare time!
