STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT

In updates, a standard format is used to guide the stages of development of this island, categorized into different groups:

  • known as Beta: Early stage of upcoming features and resources that are currently being tested (unstable builds).

  • Preview: Stage where the update is practically ready for release (latest tests by PlayTesters).

  • Stable: Stage included new features with more stability for all players.

UNDERSTANDING ENGINES

In intention to identify the type of Engine/Mode, the following names are used:

  • FNC: Created and Run in CREATIVE MODE

  • UEFN: Created and Run in Unreal Editor for Fortnite

  • FNC-UEFN: Created in FNC and Upgraded to UEFN!

FINDING CURRENT VERSION

Explaining and clarifying the updates models:

Example: v4.15.6

  • 4.00 -> Usually for big changes in experience

  • v0.10 -> Update includes new resources and features or themed events

  • v0.05 -> Frequent updates of simple content changes (for example: added items)

  • v0.00.1 -> Quick updates including bug fixes critical to player experience and minor changes

  • To identify the type and group of update, simple model described below is used:

> Example: "v4.15.6 - build.(type). (group)"

LEARNING MORE ABOUT UNSUPPORTED EXPERIENCES

Some Experiences may not receive updates. However, this does not mean that they can never be updated.

While it's always good to bring new content to experiences, not all of them can receive updates for various reasons.

  • Some may receive simple updates, for example, a change to the Loot Pool or a simple redesign, if necessary. This means that new features may not be added frequently.

At the moment, there are no Experiences (known as Islands or Maps) that do not support updates.
