the best advice i can give anyone thinking about making a fortnite island: stop researching and start building.
we shipped yesterday. day 1 retention is 0%. i don't care. i learned more in 7 days of shipping than in 3 months of "planning."
things i didn't know when i started, now i do:
verse is harder than it looks. embrace it.
your first thumbnail will be bad. ship it anyway. you can change it later.
0% retention isn't failure. it's data. now i know exactly what to focus on: retention
iterate in public. ship before it's ready. fix what's broken when players tell you it's broken. that's the loop.
the people who never publish are the ones who keep thinking they need one more feature.
my map: 2576-7975-4557. it's flawed. that's the point 🫠
