Summary
I’ve been creating in UEFN since November 2023 and have published 14 maps in total. One of my first maps, a snipers-only map, saw decent success with over 23K unique players. It gave me hope, as even my less successful maps usually managed to gain some traction, with 1-2 players on the low end and 10-15 active players on average.
However, my last three maps have been completely dead. They get 0 players, don’t show up on Fortnite.gg, and don’t appear in Discovery at all. These maps are publicly listed, opted into Epic marketing, and can be found using my creator tag or island code. Despite this, they’re not gaining any visibility.
I worked especially hard on my most recent map, incorporating feedback from friends who agreed it was my best work yet. I’ve updated it regularly, submitted it to Epic Picks (no response in weeks), and promoted it as much as possible—but nothing has changed.
Adding to my concerns, only one of my 14 maps shows as eligible for featuring in the Creator Portal. I don’t understand why, as all my maps meet the basic requirements. Could this be related to why my maps aren’t being pushed to Discovery?
TL;DR: My maps aren’t appearing in Discovery or Fortnite.gg, even with promotion and updates. Only 1 out of my 14 maps is eligible for featuring in the Creator Portal. Could my account be shadowbanned, or is this a bug?
