Unless you are in the top 5% of creators, Sponsored Row is a waste of time and money.
It needs to be completely reworked
Here's a breakdown of the time and investment in Break and Steal Eggs, along with the additional investment we had planned before the game was removed from Discover tabs.
- Sponsored row: $5,400
- Asset costs: $1,100
- Total spent: $6,500
- Time invested: 20 days of work (13 updates)
Additional investment planned: $4,000
Throughout this period, we've done live events and boss fights, built an active community, and achieved strong metrics. We were committed to improving this game but discover completely kicked us out with no support.
We also planned a streamer campaign to attract more players to our game and Fortnite. However, after the game was removed from Discover tabs, we decided to stop further investment and time.
We are sharing our experience to show how challenging it has become to gain and maintain exposure in discover, even with consistent updates, investment, strong metrics, and an engaged community. We've concluded that it's more so of a luck based system rather than meeting expected metrics or we're not getting enough data. #UEFN

Using the sponsored row is like when Yellow Pages calls me (this is a real story) and asks if I want to advertise with them. I ask if they have analytics on where they serve up these ads and there's silence on the other end and then, "analytics of where and who? what's that?"

Here’s what’s going to happen.
Someone is going to use AI to port a really big game to Roblox.
Roblox is going to get sued.
Then Roblox is going to heavily crack down on who can make and publish games.
This isn’t going to end well.

i honestly don’t think roblox will even pay attention to it since it actually benefits their push for more realistic games

Random drop in the middle of the night.
Hide and Seek Universe is LIVE NOW!
I combined some of my most popular maps and made a new one with a backrooms theme! There are some cool abilities to buy and A LOT of new hiding spots! More maps to come.

Eric Williamson, a very very OG Fortnite dev left Epic Games in August, he was responsible for:
- Designing & Directing the entirety of Chapter 1
- Third Party Publishing
- Creative Director for Lego Fortnite
- Ecosystem Design
- & way more
He is the guy who used to appear in the old Fortnite update videos, sad to see him gone 🥲

Our game isn't in Next Fest, but we’d be super hyped if you checked it out when it drops! Here’s the Steam page for The Facility: store.steampowered.com/app/3…

I usually check out as many games as possible in Next Fest, but the tidal wave of AI trash has beaten me
Non-AI indie devs please post your games below and I'll check em out instead
Also @Steam PLEASE add an option to filter AI games in searches. It's killing discoverability

The live-action cutscenes in pixel art survival horror game, Tenebris Somnia, are incredible, but the WAY they're used is also genius!
Out now on Consoles & PC store.steampowered.com/app/2…
