[QUOTE="Admin, post: 55771, member: 1"] Epic Games is releasing an "open to everybody" Unreal Engine 5 editor for Fortnite, and will let creators monetize what they make. CEO Tim Sweeney told [URL='https://www.fastcompany.com/90741893/epic-games-ceo-tim-sweeney-talks-the-metaverse-crypto-and-antitrust']Fast Company[/URL] that around half of players' time in Fortnite is spent playing other users' content and [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/epic-games-lego-metaverse-collaboration']Epic Games[/URL] wants to make that experience more fully-fledged through the editor, and the ability to monetize that custom content. "We’re going to release the Unreal Editor for Fortnite, the full capabilities that you’ve seen [in Unreal Engine] opened up so that anybody can build very high-quality game content and code," Sweeney said, "and deploy it into Fortnite without having to do a deal with us. It’s open to everybody." He added that it's Epic Games' aim to make Fortnite a marketplace similar to Steam or the App Store, comparing it to [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/kim-kardashian-threatened-to-sue-roblox-over-a-fake-sex-tape-game']other games like Roblox[/URL] that, while free to download and play normally, feature player-made content that can be bought with real money. Sweeney said: "We’re building an economy, and it will support creators actually building businesses around their work and making increasing amounts of profit from the commerce that arises from people playing their content." Epic Games' [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/unreal-engine-5-officially-released']Unreal Engine 5 was released in[/URL] April and developers are already doing some pretty impressive stuff. Working by himself, [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/unreal-engine-5-train-station-demo-creepy-realistic']Lorenzo Drago created an incredibly realistic scene of a Japanese train station[/URL] that's almost indistinguishable from real life. This idea of monetizing this Unreal Engine 5 custom content also connects with [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/what-is-epic-games-metaverse-and-is-it-worth-billions']Epic Games' push into the metaverse[/URL] - an all-encompassing digital world with its own economy - that [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/sony-invests-even-more-money-in-epic-games']Sony and LEGO's parent company KIRKBI invested billions in[/URL]. Fortnite in itself is already fulfilling a lot of the concept of putting "the real world" into a shared online space.
