This week, we finished pre-production for our next game (to be announced soon!), which means we are on the next step. Once again we are following Tim Cain's recommended process of prototype-> beautiful corner -> vertical slice. How much of the game do you include in your prototypes? #indiedev

Tonight we're getting together to play some Fortnite custom maps, some of them are extremely well made. Which makes me wonder, how hard is it to use #UEFN, and how close is it to core #UE5? Has anyone tried it out or published any 'islands'?
