Our team decided to take a look at #UEFN. We were curious to see how our UE5 game, FOAD, translated to #fortnite. We were so impressed, we dedicated a small group to R&D experiences. A few weeks later, we’ve published our first map: πŸ’£FOAD Lane Wars! 🌴4197-4768-0702

We are working on a UI update for mobile! Your thumbs will no longer cover the HUD, larger text in menus, and better interacts! (including support for iPhone Duo!)
