THEME

FOR THE FIRST GAME JAM, THE THEME IS SIMPLY UNREAL. UTILISE FORTNITE CREATIVE AND/OR UEFN TO CREATE AN EXPERIENCE THAT PUSHES THE BAR; DOES SOMETHING NEW! NO BOX PVPS HERE, LET'S GET CREATIVE! UTILISE UEFN'S ADVANCED TOOLSET, FROM CUSTOM IMPORTS TO VERSE PROGRAMMING, TO CREATE AN EXPERIENCE LIKE NO OTHER. WE ENCOURAGE RARE GENRES NOT OFTEN SEEN IN FORTNITE - PUZZLE GAMES, PLATFORMERS, FPS TITLES: THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX!

 

SERIOUSLY; IF YOUR GAME ISN'T AMBITIOUS, IT HAS NO CHANCE AT WINNING!

​
