Appreciate you putting this list together, my girlfriend and I played a few of the maps we thought were cool right after watching this lmao. Here’s to the future of the platform and its improvement 😅
Love to hear that, glad you guys had fun with them! Always hopeful for what they'll improve next, but I'll be here plugging fun maps in the mean time 😀
I'm rooting for bud! Open world maps are tough, but a key design principal to remember is that you don't always have to build wide. Sometimes, it's better to make a smaller area feel dense and real, where every area has purpose but isn't crowded. There's too many empty open world maps that get boring really quick, because the fun bits are too far apart.
@SeeDaveRun The map is not that big. I'm using the smaller grid island as a base. I'm scared of not having enough memory to build everything. There's a lot of things for me to develop. Like, quest sistem, delivery sistem, raid sistem. It may sound too much, but trust me. This map is not going to have even 20% of my concept.
If you plan it well and be very particular about optimizing the models and systems you're setting up, you can fit in a LOT before even coming close to the memory limit. Another common mistake I see when flying around creative maps in replay mode is that people forget to delete their item staging area after they're done. If you've got 20-30+ items chilling under the map somewhere that you're not using, that adds up.
Thanks for these Creative Map Showcases! Hopefully Epic fixes the Discovery page soon, because it's been terrible longer than it's been good lol... 😅🤦🏾♂️
They did make some recent updates with added categories which is nice, but it's definitely gonna take some time. In the meantime, treat it like looking for new music - you just gotta hit play on a bunch of stuff till you find what you like
Have you seen the slow improvement of zombies maps? They are truly becoming Cod: Zombies and I actually can play them for long amounts of time because they are genuinely fun. And the map design and ways you get weapons and progress through the map are genuinely well thought out. It’s definitely worth checking out sometime if you haven’t
@@SeeDaveRun MrBeast Zombie Island (mrbeast is actually attached to this one unlike the other ones that use his likeness), Zombienite and Zombie Breakout: Asylum. All 3 capture the fun of zombie games and make for fun creative maps to play in a party when battle royale gets boring.
I’ll have to try those out too, I only played deadpines and I played that so much for the longest time for xp.. Now I am addicted to fort knight legend lol not a zombie map tho
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I always encourage folks to drop their suggestions in the comments for underrated maps they might find as well. It may end up getting featured in the next video!
Believe me, I thought the same thing originally, but after looking into the artist, I felt more confident that it wasn't AI art, but I could be wrong. Most AI art I've seen always has faults when you look even a little closer at it, and I wasn't seeing that here.
Also, I have a full museum map built out and ready to fill with guaranteed real artist pieces - hoping to publish that eventually once I get enough artists.
A map I'd love to see is a battle royale with a cave network that collapses in on itself revealing that the caves led to a secret base of an evil organisation.
One or two weeks ago i found this map called Drive Nation RP. Its basically Forza Horizon but in FN. I think its the best map to have fun with the car cosmetics. Races, car meet-ups, exploration, its just pure fun and chill. For the first time in over 7 months i finally found a driving map in which u can only drive and doesnt spawn u into a warzone of 12 yr olds shooting eachother cuz they having adhd or idk.
I think, at the very least, people can learn a thing or two from The Sims in the way they design their tycoon/simulator games. Feels like the shell is always there, but they miss the soul of what made the Sims so popular.
Well, one thing to keep in mind, is that your can find a bunch of free monster models online for free or a few bucks if you have it to spend. They can be pulled into UEFN pretty easy, with a full rig already setup with them. Should help you get those epic boss fights in place faster.
Thank you for putting this list together! Unfortunately people prefer the generic maps because our brains are de-evolving and aren't interested in anything unique. Also you mis pronounced obby again, it's "O-Bee" not "Oh-bee" or "er-bee-bee" 😂
there's so many ppl doing creative maps and no one is playing, thts so ass,, its hard to find new maps cause we only choose th maps with a lot of ppl,, fortnite need's to find a solution to highlight th best maps,, 😮💨,, nice video W 😊
They did actually make a recent update to the homepage, adding in more categories to sort things out. So we're definitely getting there. I don't think we'll ever be at a point where it's going to hand you EXACTLY the games you dreaming of though.
Creative 2.0 is so disappointing not the engine but the way people use it, I don't think that people realize what is really possible with the UEFN engine you can make games in fortnite that don't even look remotely close to fortnite and sadly I've not seen a single one. And it's been almost 2 years since it came out and it's just very disappointing. Take Roblox for an example the Roblox game Rell seas is made in the Roblox engine and it's not even remotely close to how Roblox actually looks, and UEFN is so much more powerful than Roblox studio It's very overwhelming. And I know what you're probably thinking "just make one yourself" I would if I had a PC :/ but I'm confined to 1.0 that won't even add more vfx device updates... Thx for reading it's much appreciated 👍
You know how a lot of fortnite creators come on the video screaming and "YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY NOT GONNA BELIEVE THIS!" in their videos? That's what your thumbnail was saying to me and I HATE those creators (mostly because I'm adult and not 13), however I'm specifically looking for some new and exciting maps to play on Fortnite so I watched anyway. You've got a much more chill and informative demeanor and I think your thumbnails should reflect that. Just a bit of feedback and advice, don't listen to me however because the majority of Fortnites fanbase is kids and that's who you should market to.
I appreciate the honesty. Here's the deal, though - on UA-cam, you've gotta compete with an endless number of other content creators putting out similar content every minute, especially for Fortnite. This means I have to balance a thin line between standing out and fitting in. If I go too far out of left field with my thumbnails and titles, it's gonna feel out of place or even strange to viewers who are used to Fortnite content. But if I make it feel too similar to other creators, I'll just blend in. Then, you add the need for consistent branding on the channel - people need to be able to see my thumbnails and immediately know it's a video from me. There's a reason why the company I work for has a whole team to help do just thumbnails and the like. It's not a perfect science by any means. It does take a lot of time to figure out what works and what doesn't. For now, this seems to be working. According to the analytics, the majority of my audience is supposedly in their 20's, but I'd like to think all kinds of people can enjoy my content regardless.
No rules, but my goal here isn't necessarily to just promote maps upon request. All the maps I've reviewed, I've predominantly found myself, and my opinions of them are honest. I am doing an upcoming viewer submitted map video though, where I'm specifically reviewing maps my viewers created. My opinions there will be honest as well, so feel free to drop your map code below, but if I don't like it, I'm gonna tell folks but I will also provide some constructive feedback - just be aware.
@@SeeDaveRun Well, it looks like my first answer got lost on internet... I said I agree 100% with your answer. I'm looking for visibility and feedback to improve my islands. You can find videos on my youtbe channel. My islands : - *Island of Tanks* 50vs50 _4084-8109-1948_ - *One shot 1v1 handcanon* _0620-2196-8806_ - *OOOYOYOOOYOYOOO* grapple race _0686-3875-2071_ - *Orbital Knot* Rocket Racing _8542-4362-0283_ - *Canyon Crash Cars* _7798-0188-6411_
Comments on UA-cam are just weird sometimes, which is why I always copy my message before hitting publish, because sometimes it just disappears afterwards and I have to retype it otherwise
10:07 I know there might be some actual art but this is all just AI, not real art and it really sucks people using soulless AI on what’s meant to be a place for artists and creators.😕
I did look up the creator, and I was relatively confident that it wasn't AI, which is why a I included it. I could be wrong, of course, which is also why I kept the concept general and just encouraged people to potentially use it as an avenue for sharing their art.
It's a slowly evolving system, and we've definitely seen improvements. In the meantime, though, I don't mind capitalizing on being one of the few channels highlighting these maps 😉.
Wish more of these kinda maps were promoted
Well until the algorithm gets improved, you always have me to drop y'all those tasty map codes
Wish epic would promte better creative games rarher the. Meme box fights or sigma tycoon. And have like a quality control on the games
Yea it makes new players think FN Creative is a joke, when it's anything but lol.
A better rating system
3:41 I literally said ‘oh it’s like titanfall 2’ as you said titanfall 2
I really appreciate when people go out of there way to look for actually good Fortnite creative maps. Thank you.
I'm glad I could help and thank you for checking it out! I wanna help keep the Creative community alive, even through the rough patches 😅.
but they just have no way of being discovered apart from videos like this, they should showcase really good games.
