I started adding the materials to the initial animations of the @SurpriseCityFN custom button and you can already get a taste of how it's going to look! I'm excited to see a full screen with the materials applied π

Keeping up with the learning! Here's a shine material I'm gonna be using on @SurpriseCityFN UI.

FAST FOOD VFX π
Created this VFX for +1 ESCAPE FOR BRAINROT by @surpriseugc, @JVN4D and
@Standartskilll
Made in less than 24 hours, so thereβs definitely room to push the polish further, but Iβm pretty happy with how it turned out!

#UEFN We are bringing back the π§π· Brazilian Favelas to Fornite!
3 years after @surpriseugc launched Surprise City, we are back with @JuninhOMGuefn to build Surprise City 2.
We will go back to focusing on:
- community and content.
- long term building and retention.
In the last few months we were able to get stable as a studio by focusing on outsourcing.
Now that we can breathe a little we will be slowly getting back to what originally brought us here!
Lets go @surpriseugc team! β€οΈ
#fortnitecreative
This videos shows our strategy for @surpriseugc back in 2023...
We never got to complete this because back in 2023 the algorithm was different and it punished map updates. We did our wrong moves as well, but survived them.
Back then we already did:
- events every 2 weeks
- had 13 creators working with us
- animated trailers
It's time to revisit old views and bring them back.

We spend a lot of our time helping other studios build their games...
Every now and then, we get the chance to ship one of our own. Today is one of those days. π

After a week learning s&box, I kept hitting the same wall: UI. Coming from #UE / #UEFN, I really missed a visual UMG-like workflow, so I started building one.
Meet SUI Designer a visual UI editor that runs inside the s&box editor.
Create a native .sui asset, double-click it, and get:
visual canvas
element palette
hierarchy panel
details inspector
drag / resize / edit workflow
Still early, but itβs already open source.
Link in comments.

CARNIVAL EVENT ππ₯
A new Carnival themed experience is now live inside Fruits vs Brainrots by @PandvilNetwork.
Built by @Duthraa, @VictorMartins_D, @LechimArt & @digolei03.
Interested in something similar for your game?
DMs are open π©

No devlog yesterday, but for a good reason.
A few days ago, @MStanki2 gave me this idea, so I decided to try building it.
Small first look at SUI Designer: a visual runtime/in-engine UI editor for s&box.
Still early, but the core workflow is already working: canvas editing, hierarchy, details panel, asset picker, text/image editing, transform controls, color picker, and initial compile/output.
Iβm really liking where this is going π

Day 3 learning s&box, coming from years of #UEFN.
Today itβs not just a preview anymore: the inventory can now equip and unequip clothing, update the 3D preview in real time, and apply the outfit to the actual player character in-game.
This kind of freedom is exactly why I wanted to dive into s&box.
Still rough. Still early.
But now itβs starting to feel like a real system.

Day 5 learning s&box, coming from years of #UEFN.
A lot of people told me to test multiplayer/replication early, so today I did.
The inventory is now multiplayer: players can drop items, equip/unequip gear, loot chests, and see everything sync in real time.
I also added death/respawn: bodies stay in the world with ragdoll, other players can loot them, then the player respawns.
Honestly, s&box replication has been one of the easiest systems to understand so far. The devs did a great job.

Day 4 learning s&box, coming from years of #UEFN.
Today I added procedural loot bags and chests/storage to the inventory system.
Loot bags can roll items from different pools like food, resources and equipment. Chests now have small, medium and large variants with different slot sizes.
Still rough, but itβs becoming more than just an inventory UI.
What should I tackle next: drops, persistence or multiplayer replication? Any Tips?

Love how far you can go with just scale, opacity & translation, doesnβt take much!
Hereβs a UI animation Iβm working on for @surpriseugc, plus the initial sketch where I planned the motion. From there, itβs just layering details to bring it all together :)

So here's how this HUD for @surpriseugc new project turned out! It is super fun doing these!

Exploring animation ideas for a HUD prototype with @calisto3d and @Vinicius_Luos.
Having fun experimenting with custom buttons in UEFN and excited about how this is shaping up.
