Devoted Studios & PlayVS Zone Wars UEFN Project

watch 4 months

Sometimes, the best projects come with the biggest challenges. That was definitely the case for Devoted Studios when we were asked to develop the PlayVS Zone Wars experience in Unreal Engine for Fortnite (UEFN). With a super tight deadline, some tricky limitations, and a lot of creative pressure, this project pushed our team to the limit—but in the best way possible.

In less than two months, we pulled together something really special: a 2v2 team deathmatch island with custom rules, plus 25 unique arenas. It wasn’t easy, but the end result was worth it. Here’s how we did it.

 

What is PlayVS Zone Wars UEFN?

If you’re a Fortnite fan, you know how intense the Zone Wars mode can get. It’s a fast-paced, high-stakes game where the primary objective is to be the last team standing, outlasting all opponents. Now, imagine that—but with custom rules, a new 2v2 team setup, and 25 unique arenas. That’s what PlayVS Zone Wars offers.

In short, the idea was to give Fortnite players a fresh new way to compete, with a bit more structure and variety. 

Our Role at Devoted Studios

When we were brought on to this project, our job was clear: develop the entire PlayVS Zone Wars mode using Unreal Engine for Fortnite. This meant creating everything from scratch—building the arenas, designing the custom rules for the 2v2 team deathmatch, and making sure everything worked perfectly in UEFN (Unreal Engine for Fortnite).

 

The Challenges We Face

While working with Unreal Engine for Fortnite gives us a lot of flexibility, it also brings some unique challenges. However, our team’s familiarity with UEFN allowed us to effectively leverage its capabilities, making sure that we remained true to the gameplay experience while introducing our innovative elements.

What Working With a Very Tight Timeline Looked Like

Here’s where things got really interesting, we had less than two months to get everything done. Developing a full-fledged game mode with 25 custom arenas and unique gameplay mechanics is a massive undertaking—and to do it in under 60 days? That’s the kind of challenge that really gets our adrenaline going.

Some of the time crunch challenges included:

  • Managing time effectively: We had to move fast and stay on top of things—planning, designing, testing, and refining. Every stage had to be carefully timed to make sure we didn’t fall behind.
  • Rapid iteration: The need for quick adaptation was important. Our development cycle involved swift prototyping and feedback loops, which enabled us to refine the gameplay continuously.
  • Team collaboration: We had to work efficiently and collaborate across departments—designers, developers, and testers all had to stay in sync, sharing updates and solving problems together.

 

Despite the Challenges, We Are Proud of What We’ve Achieved

We came through in the end with something we’re really proud of. Here’s a breakdown of what we were able to accomplish:

 

A Custom 2v2 Team Deathmatch Island

We created a custom 2v2 team deathmatch island with a set of rules that changed the gameplay dynamics in fun ways. Players got to dive into competitive matches where strategy mattered just as much as skill.

  • Custom game rules: We crafted rules that forced teams to adapt quickly and think on their feet. No two matches were ever the same, and the unique rules kept things fresh and exciting for players.
  • Seamless integration with Fortnite: We made sure that the custom rules worked well with Fortnite’s core mechanics. Players still felt like they were in the Fortnite universe, but with a unique twist that made the experience feel fresh.

 

25 Unique Arenas

Designing 25 arenas in under two months was one of the toughest parts of this project. Each arena needed to feel different in terms of layout, challenges, and aesthetics. And even though we were working with UEFN’s limitations, we still wanted each arena to feel dynamic and exciting to play in.

  • Variety in arena design: We didn’t want players to get bored quickly, so each arena had its own theme and gameplay style. Some arenas were wide-open spaces that encouraged ranged combat, while others were more confined, forcing players to think fast and use cover to their advantage.
  • Balanced gameplay: Each arena needed to offer a fair playing field, so we tested them all to make sure they didn’t favor one team over the other. We also made sure that all arenas performed smoothly across different devices, so players could enjoy the experience no matter what they were playing on.

 

Rapid Development & Iteration

With such a short timeline, we had to keep things moving at a fast pace. But even though the deadline was tight, we never sacrificed quality. We focused on delivering a smooth and polished experience, even if it meant pushing through some late nights.

  • Efficient iteration: We didn’t have the luxury of taking our time, so we quickly tested ideas, identified problems, and made changes on the fly to keep the project on track.
  • Teamwork and collaboration: Throughout the process, our team worked like a well-oiled machine. Everyone—from the developers to the designers to the testers—worked together to solve challenges and bring the PlayVS Zone Wars vision to life.

 

Final Words From Us at Devoted

The PlayVS Zone Wars project was one of those rare cases where everything came together despite the odds. We faced a tight deadline, worked within UEFN’s restrictions, and had to create something truly unique—and we did it. The end result was a fast-paced, custom 2v2 team deathmatch island with 25 unique arenas, each offering something different for players.

The project was a big win for everyone involved, and it’s a great example of what we, at Devoted Studios, can do when faced with challenges. We’re proud of what we accomplished, and we hope players enjoy the new PlayVS Zone Wars mode as much as we enjoyed building it.

Devoted Studios Collaborated with Nike in Fortnite: Airphoria Vol.2

watch 8 months

In 2024, Fortnite expanded their gaming experience with a series of exciting brand partnerships. And one of the most talked-about Fortnite collabs in 2024 is with Nike, a brand known for being one of the largest and best-recognized global sports and athleticwear brands.

To celebrate Air Max Day beyond the March 26 date this year, Nike launched a new project with Fortnite. Together with Devoted Studios, we created an amazing new gaming experience called Airphoria Vol.2.

Keep reading as we want to show you why we are so excited to be part of this Fortnite brand partnership project with Nike.

Nike Airphoria Vol.2: Entering the Dn Dimension

Our team at Devoted Studios played a great role in the development of Nike Airphoria Vol. 2, handling the project from the initial creative concept through to the final execution. Devoted Studios, working as UEFN developers, completed major tasks quickly, including creating two gameplay styles, four themes, and two islands, all while working within strict UEFN framework limits.

Highlights of Airphoria Vol.2

  • Bringing Ideas to Life: With Nike leading the way with their creative ideas, Devoted Studios worked together with them to bring those ideas to life.
  • 3D Modeling: We created detailed 3D models for props and environments, bringing the vibrant world of Airphoria to life.
  • Visual Effects: Advanced camera effects, visual effects (VFX), lighting, and optimization improve the game’s look and performance.
  • World-Building: We built a dynamic game environment with detailed world-building, set dressing, and level design.

The Development Journey for Nike Airphoria Vol. 2

Creating Nike Airphoria Vol. 2 was a challenging yet rewarding process. We aimed to replicate the success of Airphoria Vol. 1 with an all-new volume designed to show off Nike’s latest shoes. This new version features two islands, each with unique gameplay styles, offering players a diverse and engaging experience.

What Is the Development Process Like?

Our journey began with the goal of achieving a full UEFN experience within a tight timeframe. This required careful planning and efficient execution. As part of the Fortnite developer team, we focused on creating a seamless gaming environment, starting with the development of two distinct gameplay styles across two islands. Each island was carefully designed for a more unique experience, which contributes to the broader goals of Nike and Fortnite brand partnerships.

Feel the Unreal

One of the standout features of Nike Airphoria Vol. 2 is the “Feel the Unreal” experience. This journey begins with players starting the rail grinding experience from a point called “Internet Activated.” From there, players progress through “Air Max City,” an area filled with vibrant and dynamic elements designed to captivate and challenge.

Updraft Dash

As players advance, they reach the “Realm of the Airphorians” and encounter the Updraft Dash portal. This portal represents a significant milestone in the game, giving new challenges and opportunities for players. The journey continues as players move toward “Tilted Reality,” a place where they can further explore and immerse themselves in the game’s world.

Get to Know the Project Scope

Developing Nike Airphoria Vol. 2 was an ambitious and challenging journey. Nike led the way with their creative ideas, and we worked together to bring them to life. With the goal of this project that is to blend Nike’s iconic branding with Fortnite. Our team worked diligently through various stages, from initial creation to final publishing, to guarantee that every element of the game was thoughtfully designed, seamlessly integrated, and optimized for player’s experience. 

Here’s an in-depth look at the comprehensive process we undertook to bring this innovative project to life.

Engineering

The engineering phase involved developing essential game mechanics and features. Key tasks included creating the central rail device, implementing checkpoints, designing a smooth respawn system, and developing diverse enemies and power ups. We also included an emoji collection to add fun and expressive communication options for players.

Art

The art team created and integrated 3D assets, environments, and lifelike animations. They enhanced the visual appeal with dynamic visual effects (VFX) and carefully integrated Nike’s branding to maintain authenticity within the game.

Game Design

The game design phase focused on core mechanics, creating power ups, developing level layouts, and designing hazards. We also created a difficulty curve based on client input to make sure that the game is challenging but at the same time does not feel like it is impossible to win.

To Publishing

The final step was publishing, which involved thorough testing to make sure all elements worked perfectly and any bugs were resolved. The game was then prepared for release, ready to launch to players.

Achievements and Wins

Despite tight deadlines and technical challenges, the collaboration between Nike, Devoted Studios, and Fortnite led to significant achievements:

  • Timely Publication: The islands were published without technical issues, keeping the project on schedule.
  • Positive Feedback: The project received praise for its creativity, execution, and overall impact.
  • Enhanced Exposure: Meeting Epic’s requirements ensured that the islands got maximum exposure, increasing player engagement and retention.

Challenges and Solutions

The development journey was not without its challenges. However, Devoted Studios implemented several solutions to overcome these obstacles:

  • Asset Management: Managing the large number of assets required for Airphoria Vol.2 was challenging. Devoted Studios reduced the asset count and consolidated sections to streamline the development process.
  • Optimization: Ensuring the game ran smoothly across different devices required significant optimization. Devoted Studios improved assets for faster updates and implemented solutions to fix server issues.
  • Collaboration: Devoted Studios maintained close communication with all stakeholders to ensure alignment and successful project delivery.

The Future of Fortnite Branded Experiences

The success of Airphoria Vol.2 showed the potential of Fortnite branded experiences. Looking forward to the rest of 2024, we expect more exciting collaborations to make the gaming experience even better.

Fortnite’s ability to blend brand partnerships into its game offers a unique way for brands to connect with a diverse and engaged audience. We believe there are many benefits to collaborating with Fortnite. The game’s success with Nike’s Airphoria Vol. 2, definitely has set the stage for future collaborations for many brands.

Devoted Studios + Razom for Ukraine: Help Ukrainians with Us

watch 1 year

All the people on planet Earth are one big family. We may reside in different homes, various countries, and even on separate continents, but we share everyday feelings and concerns with our other people. It is particularly true for children, women, and all those left without food and at home.

Winter is approaching, and a significant number of Ukrainians, including children, women, and the elderly, are at risk of being left without a roof over their heads, without the means of subsistence, and clothing and food. That’s why we at Devoted Studios, in collaboration with Razom for Ukraine, are initiating a relief effort and are prepared to extend a helping hand to those who need it most right now.

Help Thousands of Ukrainians With Us

Today, it’s hard to believe that in the 21st century, even in an advanced European country, there can be thousands of children, women, and elderly individuals without homes and food. But with winter is coming…

We empathize with and genuinely care for every Ukrainian who has been confronted with these challenges due to the outbreak of a full-scale war. Therefore, we cannot simply stand by and watch. With the support of the non-profit organization “Razom for Ukraine” and your contributions, we can provide vital aid to those in need.

We have a plan, and we share it with you.

You Can Save Lives

Our top priority is to help those in need prepare for the winter. Together, we are working to set up the essential shelters that will provide refuge for thousands of Ukrainians.

Right now, they require:

  • Generators
  • Power Banks
  • Heaters
  • Necessary tools and materials for shelter repairs and enhancements

 

Each donation you make is a ray of hope for children whose childhood has been stolen by the war. These funds will aid in evacuating those currently within range of Russian missiles and artillery fire. They need safety, warm clothing, food, psychological support, and the reassurance that they are not alone. You can make a difference, as even a one-dollar contribution can save lives.

We are continually informed about the needs of Ukrainians through our close collaboration with prominent Ukrainian volunteer organizations. It enables us to promptly address the requests of those affected, coordinate evacuations, procure medications at minimal costs, and dispatch humanitarian aid.

Devoted Studios Role: Concept Art

In the rapidly evolving landscape of mobile gaming, Spellcraft emerges as a free-to-play Real-Time Battler that offers players an immersive experience of commanding a team of heroes and casting spells to outwit their opponents. The game combines strategy, quick thinking, and the art of spellcasting to create a captivating gameplay experience.

In this case study, we delve into how Devoted Studioshelped One More Game Inc. to utilize concept art to bring the world of Spellcraft to life.

The World of Spellcraft

At its core, Spellcraft is a game that revolves around magic, battles, and strategy. Players assemble a team of formidable heroes, each with their own unique abilities, and engage in real-time battles against opponents. The art direction of the game plays a crucial role in setting the tone and mood, immersing players in a world where magic is real and battles are won through both tactical prowess and spellcasting finesse.

The Role of Devoted Studios

One More Game recognized that concept art would be instrumental in translating the enchanting world of Spellcraft from imagination to screen, that is why they chose Devoted Studios to be responsible for the process. Concept artists were tasked with envisioning the various heroes, magical spells, and the vibrant environments in which battles take place. Their role extended beyond simple visual representation; they were responsible for breathing life into the characters and their surroundings, making the players feel like an integral part of the mystical realm.

Devoted Studios fostered a collaborative environment where concept artists worked hand in hand with game designers, animators, and developers. Regular brainstorming sessions and feedback loops ensured that the artistic vision aligned seamlessly with the gameplay mechanics and narrative elements. This iterative approach allowed the concept art to evolve organically, resulting in a cohesive and immersive experience for players.

Outcomes

In the competitive world of mobile gaming, Spellcraft stands out as a testament to the power of concept art in shaping a game’s identity and engaging players on multiple levels. One More Game and Devoted Studios’ meticulous attention to detail and collaboration between concept artists and other team members have resulted in a game world that feels alive with magic, heroes, and battles. As players cast spells and lead their teams to victory, they are not just participating in battles but stepping into a world crafted by the fusion of imagination and artistry. Spellcraft’s success serves as a reminder that concept art is not just about visuals; it’s about creating an experience that leaves a lasting enchantment on players’ hearts and minds.

By building up energy and unleashing a devastating strike, players can knock out enemies and temporarily stun them, granting a brief moment of respite in the intense cat-and-mouse encounters with the animatronics. However, strategic decision-making becomes crucial, as players must carefully choose when to utilize the charge attack, balancing its potent impact against the need to conserve energy for other situations. These innovative features not only increase the game’s challenge level but also provide players with a greater sense of control and agency over their fate within the nightmarish world of FNAF Security Breach, ensuring an exhilarating and adrenaline-fueled gaming experience like never before.

The games’ storyline

The storyline of FNAF Security Breach delves deep into the dark underbelly of the seemingly innocent Mega Pizza Plex. As players step into the shoes of the protagonist, they quickly realize that there is much more to this mall than meets the eye. The once-beloved synth-pop band, Pizza Plex, hides a sinister secret that drives the core of the narrative. Behind their cheerful façade lies a malevolent force, an ancient curse that has twisted these animatronic characters into instruments of terror. 

The mall itself, once a beacon of fun and entertainment, now becomes a sprawling labyrinth of danger, with each corner harboring a new threat. From the vibrant arcade to the eerie corridors and even the whimsical animatronic shows, every aspect of the Mega Pizza Plex is fraught with peril. Players must carefully navigate this treacherous environment, solving puzzles, uncovering hidden clues, and evading the relentless pursuit of the animatronics in their quest for survival. 

As the layers of the story are unraveled, players will come face-to-face with the harrowing truth behind the Mega Pizza Plex, unearthing a web of conspiracy, supernatural forces, and long-buried secrets that will leave them questioning everything they thought they knew about the FNAF universe. The captivating storyline not only immerses players in a gripping narrative but also adds a rich layer of depth and intrigue to the intense gameplay, ensuring that FNAF Security Breach becomes an unforgettable experience for fans and newcomers alike.

The use of alternate reality games (ARGs)

FNAF Security Breach goes above and beyond the traditional gaming experience by immersing its fans in an intricate web of alternate reality games (ARGs). These cleverly designed puzzles and cryptic messages scattered across various social media platforms transform the anticipation for the game into an interactive adventure in the real world. 

In the months leading up to the game’s release, the FNAF community became detectives, analyzing every teaser uploaded to Twitter, YouTube, and other platforms with relentless dedication. Each teaser was a tantalizing piece of the puzzle, presenting fans with enigmatic symbols, hidden codes, and mysterious references. The fandom united, collaborating and sharing theories as they raced to decipher the secrets within. 

This ARG approach allowed the fans to actively engage with the game’s lore even before its launch, fostering a strong sense of community and shared excitement. As they pieced together the cryptic messages, fans unraveled hidden characters, unveiled subplots, and uncovered tantalizing glimpses of the horrors that awaited them in the Mega Pizza Plex. 

The ARG aspect of FNAF Security Breach not only heightened the intrigue surrounding the game but also rewarded the dedication and analytical prowess of the fandom. It created an immersive experience that extended far beyond the confines of the virtual world, bridging the gap between fiction and reality and solidifying the bond between the players and the game itself. By seamlessly blending the digital and real-world realms, FNAF Security Breach’s ARGs contributed to the game’s allure, ensuring that fans remained engaged, invested, and eager to embark on this extraordinary journey of suspense and discovery.
