Hey all, JAKUS here. I'm a British Law Student and I have been creating in Fortnite since 2021. I have a sharp understanding of how this game is designed, and how to create quality game experiences within its sandbox.
I have a genuine appreciation and love for Fortnite's style, atmosphere, and innovation. There is nothing I want to do more than to create games that Fortnite players genuinely want to play, and feel better for having played.
FORTNITE CREATIVE PORTFOLIO
PROJECTS
THE STUFF YOU MAY KNOW ME FOR
THIS PORTFOLIO IS DESIGNED TO BE VIEWED BEST ON DESKTOP DEVICES
JAKUS YOUTUBE CHANNEL (2022-)
Inspired by Game Maker's Toolkit and Scott the Woz, this channel is hellbent on being one of the most original, high quality YouTube channels in the Fortnite space, and is best known for Retrospective videos covering the development struggles of well-known UGC Projects, and nuanced analysis videos that force viewers to think about Fortnite in a more mature way. Since 2024, the channel has expanded outward into covering general game design stories.
SNAPSHOTS: BATTLE ROYALE (2022-)
An innovative and evolving independent Battle Royale experience. Best known for out-of-the-box season designs, such as Split (2023), technical innovations and hosting the first ever Fortnite Creative concert not overseen by Epic Games, with Ohio band computersad (2024).
APOLLO LATE GAME (2024)
Apollo Late Game was the first project that dared to attempt to recreate the Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 2 Island in its entirety, and 2025's Heat Game expanded on the concept a year later with a totally original gameplay loop, technical innovation and the most lovingly accurate remake to date. Played over 1,000,000 times between both variants.
THIS IS FAR FROM EVERYTHING I'VE MADE, AND I'M ALWAYS WORKING ON NEW STUFF - BUT THIS IS THE MOST WELL-KNOWN!
