A few questions here re: discovery (Disclaimer: this leans heavily on readouts from fortnite.gg but also cross-references gameplay/engagement analytics here in creator portal.).
I’ve been making islands that have a variety of gameplay and branding and general categories.
1: Some fail to get any discovery.
2: Some get what I’ve been calling “backrooms discovery” (new/updated) where they’re in the >20 pile of “who’s even looking at this grid?” and don’t get enough impressions during that release to even generate a 5k impression snapshot.
3: Some have no main discovery, but can linger for a week in Collections (which has been nice, but still not generating snapshots). Rocket Racing, I’m looking at you (with RR as well, you get the “Other” sources, I suppose, from their bespoke discovery menu backrooms).
4: I’ve noticed things showing up as New! and Updated! in the home bar. That’s neat, and I see that represented in the Sources in the Creator Portal Audience section. Wanted to high-five on that.
So broad questions:
A: why would a TMNT map (0511-3500-6206) never make a Collections tab?
Stat-wise people aren’t just bailing immediately. Recent updates, again, just haven’t even generated snapshots.
B: is really more A.1, but: Why are there so many thumbnails (which obviously represent gameplay, because otherwise that would violate TOS) in the Brand tabs clearly showing 3rd party IP Violations.
C: Has it just been that the spam maps (which I saw @Flak mention you’re rolling out a new sanction on next week, that’s great) have been clogging everything up?
D: mostly just frustrated that things like the aforementioned brand never making brand or sport tabs, my Adventure (8794-8487-4263 with over 15 updates) hasn’t ever shown up in RPG collections at all, or (4970-2691-2291 with close to 10 updates) in Battle Royale. Even buried in the backrooms. Are Collections even harder to get into than normal Discover tabs?
Thanks for your time, and the platform.
