Chocolate Dreams

Made under 48 hours for Nordic Game Jam 2025.

However...

We love Unreal Engine and Fortnite, so naturally we were excited to learn and make something with Unreal Editor For Fortnite. This was even encouraged at the jam by Epic Games.

However, they failed to declare that publishing your creations is locked behind a lengthy validation process, the only alternative being a $73 paywall.

As you can see, things could be much worse. If it wasn't for us playing Fortnite 30 days prior to the game jam, we would have to wait a lot more to be able to share our creation alongside the other games released at the event. This is obviously not possible on a 48 hour game jam.



To other developers who would like to make games in UEFN for a game jam: just don't bother. It's a very limited tool, despite how they advertised it to us. And read up on the publishing eligibility above. Because if that stops you from sharing your game on time, this billion dollar company won't care about you (surprise surprise...). Don't turn into free advertisement for them.
