[86140] Epic Games reveals the creation process in Fortnite: Between artificial intelligence and human creativity

Epic Games clarifies: Artificial intelligence is just an auxiliary tool in Fortnite

Following a reveal on the HYPEX channel (a channel known for being central in gaming reports and Fortnite news), gaming giant Epic Games showcased the development process of interfaces, characters, and worlds (POIs) in the game. According to the report, the company's artists continue to rely on traditional creation processes involving manual sketching, the use of Photoshop, and designing in Blender software.

According to HYPEX, the discourse surrounding the use of artificial intelligence is complex. The company clarifies that while technological tools are used to accelerate workflows and explore new ideas such as lighting or design styles, "creative control remains in the hands of the creator," clarifying that AI alone does not generate the final content.

At the same time, a discussion has developed on social media among players regarding the new designs. Users such as foxy_15110 have come to the defense of the new skins under the heading "Stop hating the skin." Conversely, other opinions have expressed more moderate criticism; according to toxgeniodohumor, there is a desire within the community to have the option to remove certain visual effects from Battle Pass skins, which indicates ongoing friction between the developers' vision and the personal user experience.

In total, the reports received wide exposure of approximately 830,248 views, which testifies to the high sensitivity of the player community toward the subject of technology and design within the popular game.
