fall-guys-chat

[keen orchid]

I imagine Mediatonic drew the design and Epic modeled it

[livid grove]

do u think the designers/modellers from mt are still in the studio?

[keen orchid]

They still have about 100 people left so I’m sure there’s a few

[peak crater]

They'll probably give that to some other game

Fall Guys isnt big enough for football lol

[livid grove]

yea ig they wouldnt fire their modellers, they make costumes

[peak crater]

All we got is fall ball lol

[keen orchid]

They replied to a tweet for the NFL as well, so they’re implementing Football style tackling it seems

[little cosmos]

Oh yeah gotta milk that cow tho

[livid grove]

that i agree on. fall ball is a lot more fun than basketfall

Fall Guys (@FallGuysGame)

@insidetheNFL @ChicagoBears tackling feels... important

X · Jan 14, 2026, 5:09 PM

[livid grove]

a whole spinoff with different maps/gimmicks/ect would be very fun

[peak crater]

American football wouldn't pull enough ppl

[livid grove]

oooo

[keen orchid]

Oh you guys are talking about Soccer

In that case they already have Rocket League for that technically

And Epic wants to port that to FN too

[livid grove]

Hmm

Tackle mechanic

[peak crater]

Yes for... The METAVERSE 🥀

[keen orchid]

Fall Guys and Rocket League ports were listed right next to each other in the internal document LOL

So if they do one, they’ll probably do both

[peak crater]

There goes all the space on my computer ✅

[pine heart]

Any tips for stay in the spotlight

[keen orchid]

You mean leading light?

[pine heart]

And also the hexagon and the snow hexagon round in ranked

[pine heart]

The one that has a yellow light and it moves and u have to stay in it

I’m new

[keen orchid]

Alright yeah, so in that level you just want to always keep your eyes on the light

[peak crater]

Ngl im pretty bad at that round

[keen orchid]

It will usually go in the same direction for a little while

[pine heart]

That’s the reason I don’t go to the finals

[keen orchid]

So just keep following it and get ready to turn as soon as it turns

[pine heart]

ok

Any strats for the two finals

[peak crater]

Oh and also watch out for the blue gates

[pine heart]

Oh yeah

[peak crater]

The ones with the buttons attatched

[keen orchid]

You can jump over those if you time your jumps well

For the hex-a-gone levels, the best strategy is just to look out for gaps and go to areas where there are less of them towards the end

[pine heart]

Now I know what I did wrong last round

[keen orchid]

By the end of the match there will usually be a few areas with way more tiles to run to

[peak crater]

I'm so mad at people who grab in finals ngl

Especially ones like thin ice and hexaring

[little cosmos]

Do you really believe that in 2026, there will be people who don't know Fall Guys, and will get to know it because of a new game mode created in fortnite? And because of that, Fall Guys will grow? That's crazy. Nice dream! LMAO

[chilly zinc]

thats not to grow, thats to kill the FG server and shove all things into fortnite infrastructure

[peak crater]

If they do it right it could work

[keen orchid]

Epic wants to integrate FG into FN

By promoting it with spin offs before launch, they build up interest

People who play FN will already be familiar with the ip

They’ll know the beans as the characters that showed up in the basketball mode

But now they also have their own game

[cyan marsh]

I Mean, I've Seen People Join this Server Lately, Saying that They're New and Just Started Playing the Game, so it's Not Completely Out Of The Question to Suggest that This Side Mode Could Attract Brand New Players

[keen orchid]

^

A key component of marketing a game is interest in the ip

[livid grove]

i heard there is a ranked mode, and people on fortnite love skill. i can see people new to fall guys playing it if its good.

[keen orchid]

Yep, a ranked mode is planned for it

So people will most likely get at least somewhat interested in what the beans have to offer

[peak crater]

I will lose interest in what the beans have to offer if they use the unreal engine physics 📉

[livid grove]

if its the ufen physics i can see it being much less interesting honestly

hopefully we get gameplay soon

[little cosmos]

Who are the FN players who will only get to know the Fall Guys characters because of this mini basketball game? Even my mom knows the Fall Guys beans, and she doesn't even know how to turn on a PC.

And you're in 2026, you have youtube, twitch, you have tons of online content, you've never seen Fall Guys? Oh please...

[livid grove]

What are you even talking about lol

Im being pretty realistic if youve been reading

[peak crater]

I would think you would generally wanna gain interst in an idea/ip/character(s), then expand on that and interest more people in it with the wave of people already using it

[keen orchid]

We have a winner!!!

all 20 fall guys fans really living it up here rn

[frank knoll]

screams (i cant do the AA thing becaus of said spam.)

[peak crater]

✅

[lilac valley]

if only the other chat main character was here then it'd be fun

oh wait its 2026 why would he be in the fall guys discord server

[little cosmos]

Fall Guys isn't an unknown game, it was very popular a few years ago! You can't come here now and say that people need to know about the game... people already know about the game! But they don't want to play it, and why don't they want to play it? Because there's nothing new being created! How about my business knowledge? Is it good now?

[peak crater]

At this point, there would be plenty of people who don't know about the game imo. Remember that people don't always pay attention to social channels and just might want to play fortnite.

[livid grove]

god forbit they do something uniquely cool with a dying ip

[keen orchid]

ip exposure can convince players to give it a chance though

Plus direct integration would allow for players to potentially earn items that could work in both games

Once again, most people who actively play Rocket League as of late have been doing it because you can use the cars in Fortnite too

[lilac valley]

question

i just saw the server icon wtf is that

[livid grove]

thats it, send the mediatonic devs back to the creative content farm jail

[keen orchid]

The ball

[lilac valley]

what

[keen orchid]

For the thing

[livid grove]

guessing its a fortnite attempt at creating something that looks like fall guys

[lilac valley]

what thing

[keen orchid]

Hold on I’ll get the tweet

[lilac valley]

Beans caught practicing... something involving a ball 👀

Might want to keep an eye on this, @Fortnite.

X · Jan 16, 2026, 2:08 PM

[lilac valley]

oh

[livid grove]

i can see why people dont like it, it kinda looks like someones ai generated nft character

[lilac valley]

ai tried to generate minions playing basketball

[little cosmos]

Well, I'm not yapping. I'm just being more realistic than you, who prefers to believe that we live in a wonderland. They created this game mode for us to go to fortnite, so that we would then play fortnite and spend money there. This game mode is all about profit! They don't care about saving Fall Guys.

[keen orchid]

Let’s compare the likes between the fall guys related announcement and the Fortnite related one on the same account

Which one does the general public care about more…

[livid grove]

i dont know what you mean by that cuz i dont really like what theyre doing here either

[lilac valley]

LMAOO

[livid grove]

dude, that ball looks so weird. they gotta change that

[keen orchid]

To be fair the camera won’t be that close to it in game probably

[lilac valley]

i never wanted to kill something more than that ball

[livid grove]

im hoping its just a wack render fortnite did for them

[peak crater]

get rid of the logo, its bad imo

[keen orchid]

This could also be a case of Mediatonic having no idea how to make good looking renders in Unreal lol

[livid grove]

yea ig

[little cosmos]

Believing that Fall Guys on fortnite will be the best place, and that the game will have more players afterwards, makes no sense at all! That's living in wonderland!
If Fall Guys goes to fortnite, it's going to the graveyard. Period.

[livid grove]

literally no one believes fortnite is the best place for fall guys. ive said it multiple times that i really dont want to install fortnite again.

[keen orchid]

Well, I guess it’s going to the graveyard then

[little cosmos]

Some do.

[livid grove]

no one has said that. only the metaverse out of touch people want that. they dont care about fall guys

[keen orchid]

I’m pretty sure everybody would prefer for it to be standalone

[stark moon]

yo what is happening guys

[keen orchid]

Fall Guys Basketball

[stark moon]

someone told me about the fortnite thing but i dont know anything beyond that

[livid grove]

Theyre adding balls

[keen orchid]

People in this server are complaining about Fall Guys Basketball pretty much lol

[stark moon]

its more high quality official fall guys content from epic games tho

[keen orchid]

It’s actually from Mediatonic themselves, so it’s fully official

So I’m really excited for it

[stark moon]

my bad i meant to say mediatonic

[lilac valley]

[keen orchid]

[lilac valley]

when i said it looked ai generated it was supposed to be a joke

[peak crater]

It does tho

[livid grove]

it needs buck teeth and no bean mouth lol

[peak crater]

🔥 🔥 🔥

[lilac valley]

would go hard with some ketchup

[livid grove]

it looks like its gonna talk or look around or something 😭

[lilac valley]

im mad that you made me imagine that

[livid grove]

its got that style to it lol

[peak crater]

Think about it again!!

[little cosmos]

So now you know what everyone said or didn't say? Amazing!
Then you also know that the Fall Guys team communicated with players that there will be a new game mode for Fortnite. And the fortnite team said NOTHING about this.
Something doesn't add up...
Either they're spreading rumors, or it's going to be a game mode for Fall Guys.

[livid grove]

theres a rumour that there will also be a update for fall guys (non fortnite) so like what do u say about that

[lilac valley]

take back my ketchup statement ranch would be better

[livid grove]

Gonna bite on it till it pops and makes a loud noise of air pressure releasing

[keen orchid]

The mode was already datamined for Fortnite

We already have data that directly lines up with what they’ve teased

[little cosmos]

What data?
If it's a game mode for Fall Guys, I'll block a lot of accounts here on Discord. I don't like people spreading false rumors

[peak crater]

I'm tired... See you later everyone.
I hope this basketball turns out well lol

[keen orchid]

Mainly the existence of a mode that utilizes non Fortnite characters and has a tackling function

https://x.com/fallguysgame/status/2011485802287808800?s=61

Fall Guys (@FallGuysGame)

@insidetheNFL @ChicagoBears tackling feels... important

Which lines up with what they teased a few days back

They just blocked me LMAO

[livid grove]

glad thats over then

[keen orchid]

I was just trying to explain this to them and they got really mad for no reason

[livid grove]

so strange

i think they were struggling to understand

[keen orchid]

I guess if they wanna believe it’s a fall guys mode then they can believe it

[livid grove]

lol

[keen orchid]

Not saying they’ll be right about it though lol

[fervent wedge]

Party up SoOfficial_15 add me

[hoary tusk]

Well shoot, I guess we’re just gonna be balling

Still stinks they’re killing off a Fortnite mode I really like

[fervent wedge]

Need 2 people

[lilac valley]

no

[hoary tusk]

For what, a sacrifice?

[fervent wedge]

Anybody wanna party up?

[livid grove]

busy sorry

[fervent wedge]

Dm me need 2 people for squads

[cyan marsh]

I'm Sorry, but it Doesn't Make Any Sense for the Official Account to Spread "Rumors". They're Official, so Anything They Say is Official and Confirmation, and Them Spreading Rumors Despite Having Internal Knowledge about the Game is a Paradoxial Oxymoron

Furthermore, Fortnite Probably Haven't Said Anything because it's the Weekend (And They Don't Work on Weekends), and They'd Rather Wait until Next Week to Announce It Themselves, since it'll Most Likely Release Next Thursday

[little cosmos]

It's all your fault and a few others. There's no reason to jump to conclusions that this will be a new game mode for fortnite. Just a few clues, connecting the dots... that's your fault. Keep connecting the dots and playing with dolls.
They even changed their profile picture on Discord because of this announcement. Why would this be a game mode for Fortnite? And why didn't the fortnite team announce it? If Fall Guys announced it, it's for Fall Guys! Why spread false rumors? And you're still surprised that people are mad at you? That's crazy.

[keen orchid]

The teaser image has the Fortnite logo on it and the tweet explicitly mentions Fortnite

If you combine that with the insider information that we have, the mode being in Fortnite is pretty clear

[old shell]

new fall guys discord icon?

what is that

Yes, that's right, next week we'll have the fortnite team announcing the third trailer for GTA 6 just because Rockstar went on vacation to an island. Makes perfect sense.

[livid grove]

it literally says fortnite 😭

[little cosmos]

And they needed someone to advertise, because it's 2026 and they still barely know how to use the internet and a PC.

[keen orchid]

The Fortnite logo is on the promo image

All modern fall guys teasers have the fall guys logo on them

[cyan marsh]

Epic Bought MT, and this is what MT have been Developing after they Released Tropical Tides. It Makes Sense that they'd Advertise their Fall Guys Collaboration Product on their Fall Guys Account

[tight hinge]

Well then that's a nice surprise

[mild helm]

oh my god i forgot about that block tower level

[little cosmos]

It's one thing to announce a collab for your game, but it's another thing to announce that you've created something entirely for another game. If that's the case, then Mediatronic is useless for Fall Guys. Terrible communication, no news or updates for a long time.

[livid grove]

hype ig

[astral plover]

I know vro. That ball thing does look a bit cursed

[cyan marsh]

UEFG and the UEFG Maps were Created by MT too

[keen orchid]

^

Even the fall guys portion of the zero hour live event directly credited MT internally

[astral plover]

Lmao. I guess people are excited for the Fortnite port

[astral plover]

Interesting. So basically it’s going to be like the other main mode’s like Battle Royale, rocket racing ect

[little cosmos]

And we still don't know if it's a collab or something entirely for fortnite, so stop spreading false rumors. If you don't know, you don't know! You're no better than anyone else when you try to spread rumors

[keen orchid]

I’m not spreading any rumors

[cyan marsh]

Yeah, It's Not a Rumor since an Official Account Posted Official Information About It

[little cosmos]

They didn't say it was entirely for fortnite. They're (here on discord) spreading rumors that it will be, when it could very well also be a colab. Fall Guys may very well have a new game mode as well

[keen orchid]

The ltms until March are already scheduled in the files

Unless they swap one of them out then there isn’t any slots for them to run a new mode

[cyan marsh]

Fall Guys Didn't Get Anything when UEFG Launched for Fortnite, so Why Would They for This?

Also, the Fact that They Made a New Side Mode Exclusive to Fortnite Is a Collab

[little cosmos]

Because it was announced on the Fall Guys account.
If that's the case, then the Fall Guys team's communication is terrible. And working for fortnite instead of Fall Guys is really the icing on the cake. Just awful.

[cyan marsh]

Again, so was UEFG, and UEFG was a Fortnite Exclusive Project that MT Made that was Also a Collab

It Has Happened Before, and Given What We Know (Both from the Announcement and Fortnite's Internal Data) it's Extremely Likely that it'll Happen Again with this Side Mode

[little cosmos]

Again, bad communication.
Even the owner of this discord changed his profile picture because of this announcement, and in the end it won't be anything for Fall Guys?
Poor communication in every aspect, they don't specifically say what it will be. Making people believe it will be something for Fall Guys, when it won't be. It's awful.

[rough garnet]

Hi beans

[cyan marsh]

Hey Labrev! Hope you're well!

[keen orchid]

The announcement doesn’t say anything about it being in fall guys, it just says that the beans will be in the mode

[rough garnet]

I'm good Kurtis
Finally have a reason to be active here again. It's felt like forever since we've gotten anything

[little cosmos]

I'm not obligated to know about every announcement the Fall Guys team has made. I'm a casual player, I'm not obligated to know what they had for dinner or what time they woke up. So when I saw the announcement, I thought it was something for Fall Guys, since it was communicated by the game team!
This game and the situation it's in is a big disappointment.
Sad.

[cyan marsh]

Good to Hear!
Yeah, the New Fortnite Side Mode Seems Interesting, and Seems Like it Could be Very Fun

[rough garnet]

I will literally take anything at this point

[cyan marsh]

Same lol

[rough garnet]

I haven't even played since October.
U know what fame passes have we gotten since then?

[keen orchid]

The Arctic Adventures pass in November and the Myths and Legends pass in January

[devout idol]

Hello

@keen orchid you speak hindi

[keen orchid]

Nope, I only know English

[devout idol]

@keen orchid so you want play fall guys

[keen orchid]

I’m playing other stuff atm lol

[cyan marsh]

Arctic Adventures (November 11th - January 1st)

Myths and Legends (January 1st - March 1st)

[rough garnet]

At least they tried a little on the new one ig

[little cosmos]

And Fall Guys hasn't had anything new for a long time!
And then you find out that all this time, they were busy working on fortnite. Very disappointed.

[rough garnet]

Always be prepared to be disappointed in times like this so when it actually happens you're not fazed

[tight hinge]

I'm just wondering what type of sport ball is gonna be. Is it gonna be similar to the one that's in current fall guys

[keen orchid]

Mediatonic replied to a few basketball tweets so it’s safe to assume it’s basketball inspired

They also replied to a football tweet and mentioned tackling though, so it may be a mix of multiple sports

[tight hinge]

So we're probably gonna have a sports ball mix that would be interesting

[viscid parcel]

Why do we have a fortnite mode as our profile picture

Its very misleading

If its anything like only up fall guys or rocket racing is to RL, it has not much relevance to us fall guys enjoyers

[tight hinge]

It would be neat if to have cross progression items between fall guys and fortnite

[fleet geyser]

So Fall Guys: Strikers?

[primal dune]

Yoo

[wet wasp]

[umbral pasture]

Is the server icon ai

[wraith lark]

did the server pfp change

we're bouta become the next jeremy lyn

we’re gonna become the next LeBron james frfr

who else is excited to play trash physics, awful laggy fall guys basketball in fortnite??

[clear hearth]

Meee yaaay lets js kill fallguys finalyy yipeeeee

[mellow gorge]

ive been playing for 6 years and u gotta admit it

[eternal bay]

For moderation questions, please head to ModMail! Do not bring it up in chat please

[mellow gorge]

LOLLL

brother it wasnt even a question

i was just saying the game is basiclly cooked because the devs barely do stuff to the game anymore

it was still active in this chat even during the yucky ss3 era

[calm lion]

hello twins

[mellow gorge]

hi

[surreal pine]

Hi

[mellow gorge]

i dont really think the mods here like when you tell them the game is dying tbh

[keen orchid]

You do realize that was in response to somebody else and not you right lol

[mellow gorge]

yeah but like 4 of my messages were deleted

[keen orchid]

Did you mention the mods or smth

Because the bot mainly does that kind of thing if you mention certain keywords

[mellow gorge]

i mentioned them once

but my message stayed for a while

[keen orchid]

I’m assuming the bot just hadn’t checked for a while or smth

[mellow gorge]

i had 4 messages, 3 didnt mention them

[keen orchid]

Oh

I tried to explain what happened but the terms are banned lol

[mellow gorge]

all i assuem is that the mods dont like when u say the game is fried

[keen orchid]

Yeah thats because of the spam from 2020

They never updated the filter when people stopped saying that

[mellow gorge]

people have said it this year, last year etc

just search the term on discord thingy

[keen orchid]

Actually yeah

I guess Bastet tweaked it lately

[bleak thorn]

guys do they not like linux users? 🙁

[keen orchid]

Fall Guys should work on Linux

[mellow gorge]

it doesnt

because of anti cheat

[keen orchid]

Unlike Fortnite Mediatonic configured the Easy Anti Cheat install to permit Linux users

[bleak thorn]

they removed the anticheat .so file

[mellow gorge]

but its easy to bypass anti cheat anyway, i mean ive done it by disabling anti cheat once

[bleak thorn]

on linux?

pls tell me how @mellow gorge

[mellow gorge]

uhhh

[astral plover]

Lol. Mt notices a fg YouTuber

[mellow gorge]

search it up on twitter or join flozyis fall guys tool disocd server

[bleak thorn]

dm me the invite pls

[keen orchid]

Yep lol

Honestly I wonder if they gave him early access

[mellow gorge]

invited u

[keen orchid]

Epic gave it to select Fortnite YouTubers but I’m not sure if they gave it to any FG ones

So far none of the ones I personally speak to have gotten one (to my knowledge at least)

[mellow gorge]

caboose used to have early acess to stuff all the time but he was transphobic on his others channels (maybe it was sterntric idk)

[keen orchid]

MT kinda stopped giving out early access a while ago for FG updates

This new mode seems to be an exception to that since I imagine Epic is the one who offered it

[mellow gorge]

they havent gave acess yet because if they did then my little api i made would just ping me and say stuff

well i made a api that detects early acess versions of epic games so yeah

[keen orchid]

Well yeah the playlist probably isn’t active until they’re ready to record

[keen orchid]

I mostly just rely on the epic api to keep track of upcoming client updates

Haven’t messed around with much FN stuff there though

[raven heart]

it should come on jan 22?

[keen orchid]

Assuming it’s out on the day the update launches, then yeah

[mellow gorge]

eh i bet its gonna be some crap that uses the outdated fall guys fortnite physics that dont work if ur ping su cks a tiny bit

[keen orchid]

We don’t know what the gameplay is like for the mode though

It’s probably not just gonna be the UEFN mechanics

[mellow gorge]

its fall guys in fortnite

[keen orchid]

Mediatonic has been developing this mode since mid 2025 at the latest

So they have the opportunity to makes tweaks compared to the existing islands

Plus of course they already have to add new movement options for the actual mechanics of the mode like tackling and passing the ball

[mellow gorge]

no the branch was made on december 20th

or atleast it was trademarked

[keen orchid]

That’s when it was pushed to the api, not when development officially started

Mediatonic has been working on this project since the launch of Tropical Tides

[mellow gorge]

im pretty sure the name i saw on the trade mark was somt like "EPIC FN: BALL GUYS"

lame name

[keen orchid]

Where did you find that supposed trademark from?

Because our internal list of plans never mentioned that name

But the list I have is from May

[mellow gorge]

i emailed epic team support

[keen orchid]

And you never thought to post that before it was officially announced?

Because we’ve known that MT is working on UE5 projects for a while but never had a name or screenshots

[mellow gorge]

no i did it yesterday'

[keen orchid]

Oh alright, I guess that makes sense

Assuming that’s true of course lol

Gonna take that with a grain of salt for now since I never received that info from an insider

[mellow gorge]

eh they alwasy check pbulic stuff

never secret email stuff

[raven heart]

i suppose this mode will be competitive

[keen orchid]

It has Ranked support so yep

[raven heart]

will it be on ranked?

[keen orchid]

Could you dm me proof of this email?

[raven heart]

im curious what other side modes will be in the future

lets hope for fall ball

[keen orchid]

I could see them adding more sports later on

[raven heart]

i wonder how different it will be than base game

do we have to play with randoms etc.

[keen orchid]

Fortnite has a party system too so this mode should use that

[raven heart]

or is it going be the same map

[keen orchid]

It’ll probably be a new map since it’ll have new mechanics compared to the existing FG levels

[raven heart]

do you think they'll release a gameplay video before update?

[keen orchid]

Epic apparently allowed a few creators to play the mode early, so there will probably be some videos uploaded before launch

[viscid parcel]

@keen orchid this new thing is going to be in fortnite right (most likely)

[keen orchid]

Yep

[viscid parcel]

erm ok, so we are getting overexicted

[keen orchid]

Did you think it wasn’t lol

[viscid parcel]

i thought it was in fortnite

but everyone making a big deal about it

when its just going to be like the only up fall guys thing

a big nothing

[keen orchid]

Not really

[viscid parcel]

or rocket racing is to rocket league. nothing

[keen orchid]

Those weren’t modes, those were islands made using UEFN

[viscid parcel]

its insulting to us. they choose this over real updates in fall guys

[keen orchid]

This is an actual game mode with unique mechanics and elements

[unkempt minnow]

Are we getting more Basketballs in Fall Guys? Cuz the Server Icon looks like there would be.

[viscid parcel]

it better be fire

[keen orchid]

It wasn’t their choice

[viscid parcel]

yeah epic is insulting the fans

[raven heart]

this image looks very NBA-ish

also it kinda reminds me Space jam too

[keen orchid]

Epic was planning to move the Fall Guys and Rocket League teams to Fortnite as early as May of last year, so they just followed their plans

[unkempt minnow]

New Fortnite Mode?

[keen orchid]

Yep!

[viscid parcel]

i wish they would do it sooner rather than later

get it over and done with

[keen orchid]

I mean, the teams are already moved over

The games themselves aren’t yet

[viscid parcel]

what are we waiting for then

oh ok

[raven heart]

i can agree its kinda insulting

the dc icon is related to fn now

[viscid parcel]

thanks. finally someone gets it

[unkempt minnow]

Both Fall Guys and Rocket League are merging into Fortnite?

[keen orchid]

Based on the plans they have internally, that’s something they’re at least considering

[unkempt minnow]

Dang

[keen orchid]

This upcoming mode is the first real Mediatonic developed mode, but it’s not the actual game

It’s a spinoff

[raven heart]

they left the base game to be rotten to work for fn

[viscid parcel]

wait. its not actually fall guys ? its just a spin off. thats weird

[keen orchid]

Well yeah, the actual fall guys is the unity game that we already have

This mode is a sports based spinoff

[unkempt minnow]

Oh, not the Actual Fall Guys Base Game? Why can't it be in both the Base Game and in the Game-mode that is in Fortnite?

[viscid parcel]

this could be fire ngl.i just wish it was part of the real game

[viscid parcel]

will this be unity too?

[keen orchid]

Mainly because this mode is developed in Unreal Engine 5

[unkempt minnow]

Ok. But I think this should also be the case in the Base Game, honestly

[keen orchid]

The base game doesn’t really have a team working on it anymore since the majority of the team is currently working on this mode

[unkempt minnow]

Oof

They should get back into working into the Base Game. The Base Game is already dead currently. The Base Game doesn't have anything interesting going on rn

[viscid parcel]

Ok dani. stay with me here. im a noob when it comes to this stuff. so this might be a really stupid question fr

will it be impossible for fall guys to be updated in fortnite by MT because they use unreal engine instead of unity

honestly i dont know anythung about this stuff 😭

[keen orchid]

Currently Fortnite only supports unreal engine games, which Mediatonic never made before until this new sports mode

In the future unity games will be supported as well though!

It’s pretty likely that they might end up just switching the actual game from unity to unreal though, since it’s easier if all of their games use the same engine

[viscid parcel]

ok that makes sense

thanks dani

[keen orchid]

No problem!

But yeah, this upcoming sports mode that’s launching (possibly) next week will be the first time we see what MT does with unreal engine

So we’ll see just how well they do when it comes to the gameplay, graphics, and performance

[viscid parcel]

i hope its good fr

[keen orchid]

Same

Especially since they will probably use this as the base for the unreal engine port of Fall Guys if they choose to make one

At least in the case of stuff like the visuals

[viscid parcel]

i just hope they keep the physics

fal gus physics are so perfect

not like that bad other version rip off

[keen orchid]

They might be adjusted slightly considering we’re playing a sport

We’ll have to wait and see though

[viscid parcel]

tbf we play sport in fall guys too

basketfall and fall ball

i wonder how similar it will be to that

[keen orchid]

Yeah true but those have never been in ranked before

And this mode is planned to have ranked support

So they’ll probably make it a bit more skill based

[viscid parcel]

wait. wasnt there a fall ball cup ranked?

or are we talking about something else

ritkanev got like 50k points on it

[keen orchid]

I’m not gonna lie

Even though I reached gold in that cycle

I kinda forgot it existed

My bad lol

[viscid parcel]

lol its ok. it was very forgettable tbf

[raven heart]

no, it wasnt

[cyan marsh]

Play Duos or Squads, and Qualify with 1 Point in Fall Ball, Hoarders, Team Tail Tag, or Jinxed

[keen orchid]

^

[trim grail]

I'm trying but I never seem to get those games

[cyan marsh]

That's the Only Way to Currently Earn Low Baller, I'm Afraid

[trim grail]

Just got team tail tag 😂😂 seems impossible on that one unless one team has zero

[astral plover]

I really hate gyro controls chat

[viscid parcel]

gyro?

[astral plover]

Yeah

[viscid parcel]

ion know that ngl

[cyan marsh]

Yeah, You Pretty Much Have to Get 3rd, which Isn't Impossible by Any Means, but it's Not Easy Either

[viscid parcel]

#fall-guys-chat message so this is why stentric is uploading a lot this year. MT told him big things are coming

And he was kinda right about FG being ported into fortnite early new year

just in a different way

[astral plover]

It’s another word for motion controls

[keen orchid]

In this case he actually wasn’t told about it lol

He was relying on assumptions from FN leakers but MT had not given any content creator statements

[viscid parcel]

as far as we know...

i would not be surprised if they sent stentric a message

[keen orchid]

They might’ve done so when he paused recording new content last week

But when he had made that short about the port he was not given any official info

Sadly stentric is one of the Mediatonic partners that I don’t have a direct line of communication with

[viscid parcel]

oh yeah. that might be why

[keen orchid]

I do think that based on the replies, Epic might’ve invited him to try out the mode last week

But this could also just be Abbie messing around

[dusty crater]

why logo discord fall guys change into the ball?

[astral plover]

Chat who will be hopping on the new fall guys thing in Fortnite on January 22nd?

They have time for a fall guys basketball mode but not a single new obstacle?

It's epic forcing them to

Or maybe it's epic entirely as mediatonic weren't credited on the teaser inage

Many mediatonic employees now work at pan!c stations btw

[cyan marsh]

Pretty Sure There's Only a Few Pan!c Stations Employees. The Rest of the Ex-MT Employees Just Found Work Elsewhere

[viscid parcel]

So the team that created this amazing game of fall gus doesnt really exist anymore and never will

[cyan marsh]

I'm Sure They Helped Develop It, Considering the Autopilot

[viscid parcel]

sad fr.. cant ever expect similar quality from them again becuause of this

[spiral pond]

Someone should make a FOSS alternative

[shy anvil]

Honestly I think we should all just boycott the new mode and ask for actual content in fall guys instead

[spiral pond]

You actually play Fortnite?

[shy anvil]

...

God no

[spiral pond]

You can't boycott if you don't play the game. There's nothing we can do about it

Chat, I know it’s off topic but I hate you so much Giant Bowser. You cannot tell me I lose twice because of gyro controls (and I calibrate the second time as well). Why did Mario and Luigi dream team need to use terrible gyro controls for giant battles is beyond me 💀

Okay, off topic rant over.

[astral plover]

Lmao you have posted that three times in the past 2 hours

[novel dome]

I think the Epic Social Panel got a small update

Now it shows when a player plays on Steam with the Steam logo instead of a PC icon

Idk if it was already a thing on other platforms, but on PS4 it always showed a PC icon like it shows a Controller whenever a player is on Switch or Xbox, but those remain unchanged

[cyan marsh]

It's Gonna Be a Loong Week

[unborn knot]

ikr ??????????????

[keen orchid]

The team was moved to the project

It’s not like they didn’t have time to work on FG, but they never got the green light to do so

They make what is greenlit for them to make

[astral plover]

Indeed. It really will feel like that plankton gif

[keen orchid]

A lot of people in this server aren’t giving the mode a chance because it’s in Fortnite, but I really feel like they should at least see gameplay first before they form opinions on it

I’m going to try it out honestly (especially since Fortnite is kind of the future for the game)

[keen orchid]

Yeah, plus it’ll just give you a new level to play!

It’s been a while since we’ve gotten one of those

[cyan marsh]

thanks

[keen orchid]

No problem

[astral plover]

Erm technically it isn’t a new level since it’s in a different game 🤓 ☝️

[keen orchid]

That’s still a new level though

[astral plover]

Yeah

Even if it’s basically basketfall 2

[keen orchid]

And this is also the first new level to be developed in an actual game engine with custom code since SS3 so that’s neat

Maybe it’ll satisfy the classic level crowd

In fall guys or fortnite?

Maybe

Fortnite

I just think people should wait and see how the gameplay is before they judge it

[astral plover]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-plankton-alright-i-get-it-i-get-it-enough-gif-19558825

[keen orchid]

Not exactly

This is a spinoff game based on FG

[viscid parcel]

but the real MT team that created the fall guys we know and love is gone

[keen orchid]

Not really, a few devs I know are working on this project

And one of them straight up directly confirmed involvement

So the mode does have the devs from 20.0 under its belt

[viscid parcel]

hmmm

what was 20.0?

[keen orchid]

Tropical Tides

[astral plover]

Last peak update (for now)

[viscid parcel]

oh right

[keen orchid]

Pretty much no programmers or anybody who would really be involved in this mode left between then and now

Besides Joe Walsh no longer being the director but somebody else will handle that

[astral plover]

Yeah. He and a few others went and made PAN!C studios

[keen orchid]

Yep, and I’m excited for what they’re working on too

I’ve been keeping up with their stuff and it looks fun!

And they’re avoiding free to play live service games now

Which is for the best

[viscid parcel]

this better be fire

[keen orchid]

I wonder when MT is gonna drop a trailer for the mode

Usually every Fortnite mode gets a trailer, and occasionally even a cinematic one!

It would be fun to get a new cinematic trailer but I’d be fine with just gameplay too

[novel dome]

Doesn't sound like a collab if they were forced to accept it

It's like if they are working FOR them and not WITH them

[keen orchid]

That’s how multiple MT devs who left within the past year described working at MT in their Glassdoor reviews so that’s true lol

Epic is in direct control of when Fall Guys and Rocket League receive content

[viscid parcel]

MT has been a mess since they got acquired by epic

they should have never accepted the acquisition

[keen orchid]

This was a relatively recent change though

[astral plover]

But then the game wouldn’t exist today

[keen orchid]

Besides the F2P launch of both games, they were mostly independent to make their own choices

Earlier this year Epic kinda slowly took over from what I could tell

Which was around the same time they started considering the idea of ports

[viscid parcel]

oh yeah

[keen orchid]

So pretty much all of the 2025 updates for FG and RL had some influence from Epic’s plans to somewhat wrap up both games

[astral plover]

Ngl, it did feel like something was happening because it felt like updates were getting less content

[cold lantern]

Thin Ice timeout

[keen orchid]

The 2025 updates besides fall and fantasy were focused on preparing the game for autopilot

Fall and Fantasy was seemingly the last update that was fully under MTs control and influence

[viscid parcel]

RL community must be so mad

[keen orchid]

They’ve been mad for years lol

[viscid parcel]

this is a game with esports worth millions

a very intense competitive scene even below that

all the content creators from rl fell off so hard

feel for them

[keen orchid]

Their community is incredibly concerned about the port of their game potentially hurting its image as a serious esport

[astral plover]

Yeah. Because Joe didn’t really want ranked in fall guys, right

[keen orchid]

Yep, Joe didn’t like that idea

And stated during an interview last summer that his team was not involved for the planning of it

So that was done by Epic for the game

[astral plover]

Fall guys players are worried because they have to download Fortnite lmao

[keen orchid]

Yeetropolis saw the introduction of earning Kudos after matches, which gives players more of an incentive to grind even after finishing a pass

And Tropical Tides introduced Ranked Mastery Cycles and the final Knockout Rework that completely ignored all of Joe’s ideas for Knockout

[astral plover]

That was epic’s idea to bring that back?

[viscid parcel]

wait what was joes ideas for knockout

[keen orchid]

Joe wanted Knockout to be a mode that was constantly refreshing with a limited pool, giving people a chance to master the levels each time

The final update it ever received was completely removing that system

[viscid parcel]

oh yeah that was a bad idea

imo

just give us a large roundpool pls

[astral plover]

That did sound good as an idea but honestly it got tainted because all modes were like that during fall forever

And people really hated it (which was fair ngl)

[keen orchid]

Personally I do prefer having the full pool, but it’s still kinda sad that we’ve lost the excitement of rotations actually mattering outside of ranked

[astral plover]

Yeah same. I especially miss player made maps in knockout

[keen orchid]

It’s extra sad because that was an epic decision to do, not MT

They were removed in preparation for ranked knockout, a concept that Epic pushed for

Obviously MT agreed to do it, but it sucks that they were removed over a mode they didn’t even want to make

[astral plover]

Made sense since all of their games have a rank mode somewhere

[keen orchid]

Ranked Knockout and Mastery Cycles were created with the intention of providing content to grind for once the autopilot begun

[viscid parcel]

ranked having to be part of every game with a multiplayer is one of the worst things about modern gaming fr

why does everything have to have ranked?

but i dont really hate fall guys ranked tbh

[keen orchid]

I want to note that the 20.0 features were being implemented into dev builds as early as late April

Everything after that point was fully autopilot preparation

[astral plover]

And I guess all the preparations are done now

[viscid parcel]

this is weird times for fal gus. we need more communication

we deserve to know whats happening

[keen orchid]

Kinda

A lot of the celebrations, emotes, emoticons, and phrases for future passes haven’t had audio made for them yet

[digital zephyr]

and then after that we're completely still here without any new content within the game itself

[astral plover]

Actually I forgot how some cosmetics are broken

[keen orchid]

Mediatonic’s sound designer left a few months back

So they’re now outsourcing to a studio called “shock + wave” for those

[astral plover]

Interesting

[viscid parcel]

sometimes they just recycle the sounds from the old ones and it feels so stupid

[keen orchid]

More specifically Leonardo Lima, the guy who made Yatta Yatta, the fall guys x Fortnite OST, and a bunch of celebration music

[viscid parcel]

so grim....

[astral plover]

Tragic! Yatta yatta is peak

[keen orchid]

To be fair, since the audio is outsourced now, they can’t just ask MT to record new bean sounds

They have to use a library of already recorded ones for the most part

[fleet geyser]

I tried looking the name up and I can't find anything. Do these people even exist?

[keen orchid]

I’ll look for their site, give me a moment

[ocean arrow]

Nre pfp

[viscid parcel]

it just gets worse and worse

[keen orchid]

My bad, it’s spark + wave

[hazy island]

what a lobby

[languid kestrel]

Why doesn't Epic do more advertising for Fall Guys

[teal tangle]

Because they don't want to lol

No idea honestly

They know how much money it makes and they decided that they don't want to put more money into it

[languid kestrel]

But they could make more money if they did advertise it, they're already making enough money from FortNite

[teal tangle]

They could make more money if they advertise it yes but it would not be enough of an increase to justify the money they spent doing the advertising

[keen orchid]

From a business perspective, Fall Guys and Rocket League are both “too big to fail”

They can decline in popularity for sure but they are incredibly cheap to just keep online and have the teams do other things for a while

[teal tangle]

Imagine if I have a chocolate bar that costs 5 dollars, but I want to sell it for more so I spend 5 dollars on an ad for the chocolate bar to try and sell it for more money, but ultimately I get to sell it for 8 dollars, even tho i was able to sell it for $8 I still lost 2 dollars so

Obviously this explanation is very simplified but yeah

[keen orchid]

For Rocket League, they have the ability for the cars to be used across it and FN, and with Fall Guys they have fun spinoff modes in FN

[languid kestrel]

That makes sense

[keen orchid]

In both cases the original games are able to sustain themselves while new content can target their most popular experience

Especially since Fall Guys and Rocket League share servers with Fortnite, so they don’t cost any extra to host

The only benefit they would get from shutting them down is getting more Fortnite servers when they already have more than enough to operate all 3

[shy anvil]

Inaccurate, you used the word 'fun'

[keen orchid]

We haven’t even gotten to play it yet

[shy anvil]

Previous modes have been terrible

And this most likely will use the Fortnite physics

[teal tangle]

Fall guys' current situation is like the most boring gamble ever lmao

[shy anvil]

Which suck

[keen orchid]

There hasn’t been an actual Fall Guys mode in FN yet, just islands where you can play as a bean

Those aren’t made with custom code and gameplay

They’re using pre built tools

[shy anvil]

Hopefully this is the end of the content drought

[teal tangle]

It will most likely not be lol

[keen orchid]

I imagine we’ll see more modes ahead of the eventual port

Or we just won’t get a port anymore and they’ll just rely on MT making new spinoffs

Epic has an entire studio dedicated to making Fall Guys things, might as well put them to use

[teal tangle]

Their endgame is just to remake the whole game in unreal engine so they don't have to pay unity a single cent and do their whole fun metaverse thing, but that is soooo far in the future that it's not gonna happen for atleast another couple years

[keen orchid]

^

Mediatonic does not currently have enough Unreal Engine experience to pull off a full 1:1 port of the game just yet

So these spinoffs will give them the experience they need

[teal tangle]

That's why they added physics to uefn, so they can use that system to put fall guys into fortnite, and why they did the whole "beanifed fortnite skins" and why they have been doing collabs with games that fall guys already collabed with

And yeah the spinoffs give the dev team practice

[keen orchid]

The beanified Fortnite skins were most likely just made as placeholders to avoid having to actually carry cosmetics over for the time being

I imagine that’ll change eventually

[teal tangle]

They never fully cared about the game itself, ultimately they just wanted a family friendly IP they can use for stuff like disney collabs and all that in fortnite

And by the "game" i specifically mean the unity version of the game, aka the "main game"

[keen orchid]

Epic said it themselves when they acquired Psyonix and Mediatonic. They were acquired to target markets that Fortnite on its own couldn’t easily reach

Fall Guys targeted a way younger audience while Rocket League goes for players who typically play sports games and such

[teal tangle]

Well yes!!

[keen orchid]

Those markets were untapped by FN at the time

And by acquiring 2 games that covered those markets, they could now use the ips to get those players into the FN ecosystem

[river galleon]

no memes 😴

[teal tangle]

It remains to be seen if that actually happens or if people will just stop caring lol

I think some people will probably move, others won't

Idk it's all just up in the air

[keen orchid]

It very much depends on how easy they make the transition process

They need to ease players into it

Warn them way in advance and offer solutions to any concerns they may have

[teal tangle]

The big problem will be the IP collabs lol

[keen orchid]

They’ve been solving a lot of those to be fair

Over the past few months especially they’ve been bringing as many FG collabs to FN as possible

[teal tangle]

Yeah most will be fine but I'm talking about the suuuper early indie ones

Like chell is not going to make it lmao

[keen orchid]

I wouldn’t be surprised if they just refund the “vbucks” that would’ve hypothetically been spent on them lol

[muted dust]

[keen orchid]

One hurdle that Rocket League has to deal with is players being forced to switch from Steam to Epic

That’s not as much of an issue with FG since it’s primarily played on console

[teal tangle]

Yeah this is realistically the best they can do

There's also the storefront issue yes

That is probably the biggest one

Literally nobody cares about the epic games store LMAO

[keen orchid]

People exclusively use it for Epic’s own games most of the time lol

[teal tangle]

That or just claiming the free games

[keen orchid]

And if they own FG and RL on steam already they just use that

[teal tangle]

And even then they don't even play them

Im pretty sure I bought something on steam I already got on epic for free because I straight up just forgot

💀

[keen orchid]

Steam is just a way better launcher in the rare cases that I play smth on PC lol

Epic is just a pain to deal with and is always missing basic features that every other thing has

[teal tangle]

☁️ 🔛 🔝 ‼️

[keen orchid]

Epic Games, give me a new render of this thing

I want a different render

[teal tangle]

This thing gives me the ick lol

but from temu

[keen orchid]

It’s a weird mix of the art style for both games and it’s so strange lol

When I look at it, it just looks like it doesn’t belong in either game

It has some clearly “fall guys” design elements, but is also clearly textured like an FN object

[hazy island]

sobbing

[keen orchid]

I really hope this isn’t a consistent design language with every new element

Because that would cause some insane artstyle clash

[raven heart]

i can imagine its eyes going to blink

[keen orchid]

its alive

[raven heart]

[teal tangle]

They don't even have the same people that made the original artstyle anymore so uh, that's gonna be a problem lmao

There's a reason why they are recycling different costume pieces and making new ones

[keen orchid]

The designers that did the final base game themes still did a good job at replicating it though

[teal tangle]

They make like 2 new designs per month and those are always very simplistic

[keen orchid]

A lot of the final decorations we received looked very “fall guys”

So I feel like they could achieve something closer to the general style if they try

[teal tangle]

I guess they do treat their employees well so who knows

Idk

I know nothing lol this is all just highly educated guesses

[keen orchid]

I feel like MT just needs a good concept artist for this project lol

They usually stick super close to the art

So I imagine this was a case of the concept art they were given looking like this LMAO

[teal tangle]

Imagine, you’re going to work on a nice peaceful morning, ready to work on the new Fall Guys project Epic just put you on

And then they put this on your desk and tell you to model it

Obviously you’re gonna do it, it’s your job, but you’re not gonna like it LOL

[hazy island]

Might want to keep an eye on this, @Fortnite.

THE WHITCHEN JOCKEY"

[livid grove]

Day 2 of basket ball no gameplay

[exotic dirge]

[gaunt lotus]

running 7500 meters in explore has to be the worst possible daily challenge, right?

think I've already played 4 or 5 maps to completion and I've only hit 2k

[misty cargo]

what is the server icon supposed to be?

[gaunt lotus]

it's teasing a new Fortnite mode that's a collab with Fall Guys, apparently dropping next week

[misty cargo]

Ah, alright.

[hallow stirrup]

bruh what?

[deft zenith]

Whta is this icon

[amber cairn]

fr

[gray schooner]

And yet FG doesn't get updates

[livid grove]

Lets sing the patience song

Just be patient just be patient dont be in such a hurry

[bronze ivy]

.

[sudden dagger]

This server icon still throwing me off, its so janky lol

[queen tartan]

fr

[foggy hatch]

Whats up with the logo of this server?

[cursive otter]

oops

💀

[autumn pendant]

Would honestly way rather them update the normal game rather than do whatever this is

[heavy python]

So we would have to get on fortnite to play this im assuming?

I wonder if there will be any incentive for Fall Guys players to play

[ebon aspen]

uhhh on blunder blocks Nintendo switch it just eliminates me when it don't even touch the slime why just why😩

[candid hazel]

There's a Leek in the boat
Leek: AAAAAAAA-

[rigid path]

@stray dagger

que pasa no vas a querer hablar?

[crimson sage]

i hate to be negative but i'm very disappointed that the fall guys update. will not be in fall guys.

[shadow ice]

[exotic bear]

yeah im ngl it looks so cursed to me idk why

i dont see why they dont add this new basketball mode to fall guys but wtv i guess

[unborn knot]

Guys pls listen

you know what

lets just spam "UPDATE" in the chat until fall guys replies

i mean we have to do something against it

😭

[eager pike]

Woo!

[eager pike]

I think that will make us get muted

[unborn knot]

[unborn knot]

oh

but there has to be something we can do

we cant just sit here and hope for good updates 😭

[eager pike]

Let's just normally ask for a reply on their social media

[unborn knot]

yh i think thats the only thing we can do

anyways uhm does someone know when the update is dropping ?

the basketball one

[eager pike]

Idk, but that will be a new fortnite mode

[unborn knot]

yh ik

is here someone german ? I havent seen any german until now 😭

[calm badger]

What is this server icon😭

[shy anvil]

It's a new side game!!!!
Coming to Fortnite

Yeah it sucks ik

[calm badger]

What?

[shy anvil]

Yeah so it's not even about fall guys

[calm badger]

Why would it be the server icon

[shy anvil]

It's just a thing in Fortnite about fall guys

[calm badger]

Oh

[shy anvil]

Idk #1461759553468104976

[shy anvil]

That's what I want

[misty bay]

Will the Fortnite port that people speak of come with this basketball thing?

[eager pike]

XD

[livid grove]

we dont know but probably not

[tribal bolt]

Saw the server icon & thought it got hacked

[pliant radish]

That was honestly my first initial thought

[livid grove]

just gotta hope the entire game doesnt look like that xd

[gleaming marten]

Fall guys or the fort game mode?

[livid grove]

fortnite

[vast field]

server icon looks like

[gleaming marten]

I guess it depends how developed the game mode is, it will be hard to stand out as a game mode since there are already so many

[lusty herald]

I feel like there might be more to this than I would assume.

Just cuz they're hyping this up pretty early than even past Fall Guys things.

At least since June of last year or the Ranked mode.

[gleaming marten]

If the long game plan is to bring fall guys into fort entirely, getting game modes like this to bring up numbers will help it not be a failure.

[lusty herald]

My theory is just we finally might get Beans properly implemented into Fortnite as a cosmetic type.

And therefore allows you to fully customize them probably.

[gleaming marten]

It definitely needs to happen.

[lusty herald]

Because Rocket Racing introduced Car types.

[gleaming marten]

Correct

[lusty herald]

The only potential downside however is they might raise the prices towards certain cosmetics. Like Rocket League did.

And potentially implementing some price increases due to their incorporation.

[outer echo]

Anyone noticed theres no time on the fame pass?

[gleaming marten]

How bad was the price increase I don't think I noticed that

[lusty herald]

Cars originally in Rocket League were normally around the 1,100 or above prices.

[outer echo]

I wish, ive been telling my friends this

[lusty herald]

Now Cars into Rocket League AND Fortnite are between 1,800-2,800

[gleaming marten]

Oh

[lusty herald]

I forgot to say originally

So that's a likely downside to this.

[outer echo]

How long is this fame pass? It seems like a stand still until something big happens with fall guys

[lusty herald]

On the other hand if you've been lucky to play the game throughout the game's life, as long as you've been playing Fall Guys. You'll probably have most.

[gleaming marten]

Mergers usually result in price increases and I think time has shown that, even at like, the corporate level you might be right

[lusty herald]

I expect even Collab costumes getting a slight price increase too if they do.

[gleaming marten]

I wonder if they are reviewing which fall guys skins that aren't in fort yet as skins can be made into ones

[lusty herald]

Probably.

[outer echo]

Im fine with all that as long as we get it for free if we own it on fall guys already

[gleaming marten]

The sidekick stuff is absolutely going to get out of hand

[gleaming marten]

Right 👍

[lusty herald]

I don't how SpongeBob would even work.

Because I have the skin, so would I get the sidekick??

[gleaming marten]

In a fair world that makes sense

[lusty herald]

But they won't, I know. Lol

I could see Hatsune Miku & Xenomorph potentially being granted as Fortnite skins maybe

If you've gotten their Bean costumes

[gleaming marten]

Right

[sweet widget]

Guys, can someone explain what is going with Fall Guys and the profile pic and stuff

[unkempt swan]

check the pins

[astral plover]

Average squads game

[livid grove]

weird... i dont remember it being gone, now it is. wonder when they did that.

[viscid parcel]

ok something is happening now FOR SURE

[keen orchid]

They didn’t set up the timer correctly when they configured it

They set the timer up to begin at the ending time for the pass because they just copy pasted the same values

[viscid parcel]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-my-god-its-happening-ok-stay-calm-the-office-gif-6091046

Something huge is on its way

This is clear proof

[keen orchid]

The majority of the recent content updates are just copy and pastes of existing elements

[livid grove]

oh lol

[viscid parcel]

Oh ok... i might have overreacted

just a classic MT moment

[keen orchid]

They never made this mistake before to be fair lol

This is a new mistake at least

[viscid parcel]

They are always surprising us

with new MT moments

[cyan marsh]

It Ends on March 1st

[keen orchid]

[upper basalt]

Hi guys

Im making a map of Portal 2 in fall guys

[jaunty field]

I keep getting disconnected from servers but ik its not my internet

[upper basalt]

Thats strange, from playstation or fg?

[astral plover]

I wonder if the new side game in Fortnite will have mt moments

[viscid parcel]

I have a feeling it wont because Epic actually care about Fortnite and wont let them get away with their MT moments

[umbral pasture]

I have a feeling that gassy mode is coming

[jaunty field]

Im on playstation i think its the game

[gleaming marten]

I apologize but I am unaware what MT moments are

[upper basalt]

Oh, That happens sometimes

That always happens to me everytime

[novel dome]

It definitely is

[ruby quest]

mediatonic not giving a flying freak about their dead games and rerunning events like wilderness run

just an example of an MT moment

[gleaming marten]

Is that their fault or are they just following like, higher ups orders?

[gleaming marten]

Thank you for explaining

[ruby quest]

not entirely sure but we’re certainly suffering regardless

[gleaming marten]

True, fingers crossed the upcoming decisions for fall guys and fort go well

[ashen spear]

[keen orchid]

That usually is the way the community refers to common mistakes MT makes on their projects

Like messing up the code on something relatively simple

[gleaming marten]

Right right, how long have these moments been a thing?

[keen orchid]

Since the game originally launched back in 2020

People have kinda just always said that to refer to any mistakes they make lol

[gleaming marten]

Ah, I see.

[compact robin]

long time

[lament surge]

Star 5

My heart is pounding

[livid grove]

rookie 1
having the time of my life

[lament surge]

I meant Star 5

[pliant radish]

Nah contender is the way

[modern jasper]

so what's this space jam fortnite mode

and why is there a fall guy in it

[lament surge]

SUPERSTAAAAAAAR

[modern jasper]

Congrats! :)

[lament surge]

Thanks

❤️

[surreal whale]

Oooh Melodie pfp

[ashen spear]

Yeah

[austere moss]

Unacceptable.

[surreal whale]

Tuff

I main her but i also main Grom he is my main main

[modern jasper]

(I think the new Discord icon is related to it?)

[ashen spear]

[modern jasper]

Anyways in all seriousness hopefully the mode's fun and just a side thing. Just wish they'd at least say anything about the future or even a roadmap but we'll just see. Still cautious about their final goal with everything but I could see a good outcome. Famous line from me, let's just wait and see.

[livid grove]

people seem to hate waiting and seeing

[hardy helm]

what is this servers profile picture..

[livid grove]

check pinned.

[unreal jacinth]

Bro why is fall guy server picture look goofy

[livid grove]

check pinned.

[modern jasper]

Barely anything has been officially announced and it's honestly not worth it getting worked up over rumors. Might as well enjoy what's currently here or do other things in the meantime. Now when things do get revealed and released then we can judge it much more. :)

[lusty herald]

I'm partially convinced Beans will be a new cosmetic type in Fortnite.

[umbral pasture]

what happened to the icon

[modern jasper]

check pinned.

[lusty herald]

New Side Mode

Coming to Fortnite

Fall Guys Basketball (?) Mode

[modern jasper]

Seems to be related to a space jam collaboration? Apparently WB was involved with the mode

Kinda interesting considering Disney's usually the one associated with FG

[lusty herald]

Only because it was the only accessible partner for collaborations at the time for MT.

They did use to have more non-Disney collabs in the past.

[modern jasper]

Yeah I meant more in terms of modern FG

[lusty herald]

And Disney owns 10% of Epic Games nowadays

[keen orchid]

That’s because Disney partially owns Epic

So they don’t have to renew a license to use their collabs

Epic has chosen to let all other FG licenses expire

[lusty herald]

But just the 10%, Epic Games still has their control on it.

[keen orchid]

Besides Disney and Devolver since they both partially own the game and therefore don’t need renewals

[modern jasper]

Aren't the Paramount ones still often in the shop?

[keen orchid]

Nope, the final ones left a few months back

[modern jasper]

Ah.

[lusty herald]

Not anymore.

[modern jasper]

I remember seeing Avatar shop items but I guess it was months ago

[lusty herald]

They could re-run them however assuming this side mode returns some previous collabs

[keen orchid]

There is one more non Disney or Devolver collab rerun left (won’t say which), but after that it’ll expire and it’ll just be those 2 brands for now

[lusty herald]

And if this side mode offers more than we're thinking

[modern jasper]

I guess we'll just have the wait and see™

... although wonder if it could also be a tie in for that upcoming Goat movie

probably not but just remembered that movie is coming soon and it is from Sony

Ok enough intrusive thoughts, hope y'all have a good one. Hopefully we'll have fun with the mode and things get more clear soon. :)

[cyan marsh]

I Think It Might just be a Fall Guys Basketball Side Mode. No Other Collaborations.

[heavy python]

I’m curious why the discord pic of this server changed if it isn’t going to be in FG itself

[cyan marsh]

It's Cause MT Developed It, and it's Essentially Their Next Big Thing™

[heavy python]

I don’t play fortnite so I wonder if the skills from FG will be transferable at all.

Never been a battle royale type player

[keen orchid]

Fortnite in recent years has been turned into an “ecosystem” that contains multiple entirely different games within it

So this mode will most likely borrow quite a few mechanics from base FG if I had to guess

[heavy python]

Alright good to know

[lusty herald]

I do think there's gonna be more to this than just the Side Mode itself though.

Given Rocket Racing in Fortnite introduced Car types in the Locker and originally we're made to support towards other modes it can do like it's side mode (Rocket Racing).

Especially with Fortnite's Metaverse push.

[viscid parcel]

This could be huge @lusty herald

[distant geyser]

SHADA MILK PFP

[upper basalt]

Hi! Sorry to bother you, but is there a section for posting skin concepts or something like that? If so, I don't know much English.

[viscid parcel]

maybe #fall-art

[hardy helm]

HI

[upper basalt]

Thx!!

[fervent wedge]

Anybody want to run Squads?

[cyan marsh]

Yeah, Same. It Seems Like it Might be Bigger than We Think, which Can Be Very Beneficial

[mild helm]

maybe one should walk squads instead

[distant geyser]

hiya

[hardy helm]

we seem like wed be really good friends.. LIKE WE HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON

[distant geyser]

really?

[livid grove]

yay my fortnite is nearly done

[viscid parcel]

so many ppl dont have the space for fortnite

[sudden dagger]

Im late af, but I agree its really cursed lol.

Of course im waiting to see what its all about when its out. idk Hope someone has fun playing it :3

[lusty herald]

Luckily I own a Switch 1 & 2 for my Fortnite needs.

And then Switch 1 is mainly for Rocket League, while Fall Guys is Switch 2 cuz better frame rates.

[upper basalt]

I want a atlas skins
