CREATIVE X SAVE THE WORLD (Inspired Content)

[dark gazelle]

What to Know Before Reading:

This post was inspired by the recent IP collab for the walking dead universe, and some feedback from the creative community as a whole. This post contains feedback regarding content from the paid mode Save The World. In this post I will be putting ideas on how STW can benefit the creative/UEFN community as it has valuable content and resources. Feel free to add any feedback and to correct me if I’m wrong with any of my ideas/concerns.

Due to the recent collab from **TWDU** it’s become a discussion about Fortnite’s very own dystopian mode **Save The World** and its impact on creative. Many players over the past couple of years have been wondering why Save The World does not exist within creative. Though we do have some assets and a prefab that are most known from said mode they are regrouped under a different name that does not associate with the mode nor locations. Now Im not sure myself as to why they do not have those iconic locations, assets, npc’s etc in creative but what I’m going to explain here is how having these would benefit creative/UEFN users as a whole not just for its dystopian genre. Due to Save the world’s varied locations we are introduced to all sorts of biomes, locations, npc’s and mobs that could make creative games more immersive. I know with the recent collab everyone will say “well we already have new zombies” but unfortunately those are under a IP and only exclusive to UEFN. With having the creatures and mobs from save the world most likely it can be set in a device similar to the cube fiend spawner that we are all accustomed too. Same thing with the survivor npc’s as they could get a new device similar to the guard spawner that has its own missions for you to set up. For example maybe the character’s can voice their iconic dialogues where they call for help, and maybe new npc dialogues requesting items for missions like they need a certain amount of gold, or maybe a find me my key card quest. I am aware that the weapons for STW are unique to its mode so I’ll save that topic for another day as I do more research on it. But for assets we have ALL Sorts of content ranging from fire stations, Post offices, bunkers, secret military base, labs, western towns, factories. As vague as that sounds I know we do have some iterations of factories, and western structures due to chapter 1 but STW really captures so much detail for its unique structures and cultural locations.

I appreciate it!

[dark gazelle]

Thank you!

[dusky magnet]

That was before I knew that people were actually gonna read allat

Only issue I have with it, is it being a giant wall of text, rather then being separated into key points.

[pliant grove]

I just want the xenon bow

[dark gazelle]

Sorry, I tried to make it short and with the font styling, unfortunately I ran out of space for the limit of text and I didn’t want it to be longer.

[rustic sedge]

I like miku too

@pliant grove

[dark gazelle]

lol

[dark gazelle]

Please let me know if there’s anything I’ve missed here that you all would like to see as well!

[austere spear]

agree, also id like to see the STW TODM's like the one on the screenshot (that is /Game/TimeOfDay/TODM/STW/TODM_STW_Parent.TODM_STW_Parent_C)

these todms would give some special vibe to some maps

[candid ocean]

What is this blasphemy (looks like pre-patch UEFN, please teach us your magic)

[austere spear]

just a lot of patches and a backend

[candid ocean]

damn, pre-patch UEFN is so close yet so far

[austere spear]

and i still dont understand why blueprints arent in normal uefn

[candid ocean]

¯_(ツ)_/¯ I don't really care for that, I just wanna be able to play around with items, props, and such.

[austere spear]

same, but still you can make a lot of things with those lol
(thats kinda off topic so id discuss that in general chat, not here)

[candid ocean]

Wouldn't be the first time one of these suggestion posts get off topic

[dark gazelle]

Bump^

Also, I’d like to explain that I’m referring to these being added in normal creative, not a separate brand where you’d have to start your projects over just to use the assets.

[elfin granite]

There are definitly some things which would be nice to have in creative. The lab stuff, secondary cube spawner style, the mothership props, reality roots, stormsheild, and other interesting stuff however alot of the other stuff is just very outdated. The survivors have really bad AI and use 2011 character models. The stw props are buggy, and again, outdated. Uefn has had a major shift into nanite based meshes and a focus on chapter 3+ props which fit a more modern style. We already have alot of the stw props in the game. Furthermore, alot of what you suggested already exists. The entirety of chapter 1 was built on stw assets in some way. My personal stance on prefabs is that they shouldnt exist. They take up epics time and provide no use. Again, i think with those, your headding into recreation territory. From a profit standpoint, i think epic intend to keep save the world exclusive to itself. If they want to continue making any money from it, they are going to have to keep it exclusive which means i doubt we would ever see this.

[dark gazelle]

I see your point, maybe they could do something custom like what they did with the deserted fortress prefabs and the cuddle tree but instead with a STW style. Like we get the husks and npc’s but with the developers own creative twist. That way it’s not using outdated assets and devices but new content that they get to be creative with.

That way it’s still separate from STW but it’s like an adaption to it.

[dark gazelle]

Maybe Not STW Exactly:

After seeing some feedback and discussions on similar posts I’ve come to the conclusion of maybe not adding the outdated devices, Npc’s, Weapons, etc and instead they make a new creative section for dystopian assets inspired by STW’s content. Now I do believe a good portion of assets from STW can still be optimized for creative as a large portion of them came from BR. This could work for other content too like Cyberpunk, steampunk, medieval, etc where they create more custom items for creative. The title could be called **Fortnite Survivors of The Storm** (Rough name I know, it’s just a quick example lol).

Weapons:

The weapons in STW are obviously outdated for Fortnite’s current system and creative but what if instead they made there own weapons, with a new upgrade bench system where the bench allows you to apply elements, or maybe not an upgrade bench but a device similar to the melee manager. Plus they can experiment with new guns and make new weapons for creative as well. 

Devices/Npc’s:

With the new dystopian add on for creative they can create similar creatures to the husks we’ve fought in STW that are optimized for creative/UEFN, and new Npc’s to have quests like find my med kit, needing help etc. 

Assets:

The assets tab could be called something like **Fortnite Survivors of The Storm** and could feature galleries like ruined structures, survivors outposts, military bases, bunkers, labs, vehicles, nature galleries, etc all inspired by Save The World but with the developers creative freedom on enhancing them.

Conclusion:

With this new dystopian add on for creative it could open a new door for possibilities for the developers to create more items exclusive to creative/UEFN and really show players what creative can offer. In the future they could branch out for new add ons like Steampunk, fantasy, and more. Please let me know your thoughts below!

[frosty vigil]

late comment but i do NOT agree that prefabs are useless. I use them all the time, especially when trying to build mixed POIs in my maps

[fossil stone]

I make Fortography screenshots sometimes and Prefabs are my best friend

Also Prefabs can work great as background elements
