The Support-A-Creator program is returning to its roots as an affiliate marketing program for streamers and social media content creators. The SAC affiliate program is still available to those who meet its requirements. We've removed the Support-A-Creator device from Fortnite Creative and all published islands as part of this change.
Engagement payouts are specifically designed to reward island creators who make great content using the Unreal Editor for Fortnite and Fortnite Creative tools. Unlike SAC, engagement payouts do not require code entries to reward creator success, and players support island creators simply by playing the experiences they already enjoy.
Creators are no longer allowed to promote SAC creator codes within their islands, so that island creators and social media creators each have an independent channel to profit from engagement and are incentivized to work together, rather than competing to convince players to enter their codes. Any new or updated islands will be required to remove mention of SAC creator codes starting March 22, 2023.
With the removal of the Support-A-Creator device from islands, creators should reconsider player experiences that may no longer be necessary, such as reducing or removing matchmaking lobbies and/or sending players into the islands directly.
All real money Fortnite purchases like V-Bucks Packs, retail V-Bucks gift cards, real money transactions like Starter Packs or Quest Packs, Fortnite Crew subscriptions, or other real-money offers contribute to Fortnite gross revenue.
When Fortnite offers are sold by third-parties, Fortnite net revenue is the funds received by Epic after third-party platform payment processing markups and fees are deducted by Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, Samsung, and other sellers of Fortnite offers. Other direct costs of goods sold, such as gift card manufacturing costs, are also deducted.
When Epic processes payments directly, such as the Epic Games Store on Windows and Android devices, Fortnite net revenue is the funds received by Epic after third-party credit-card, PayPal, and similar payment processing fees are deducted by payment service providers.
We are open to partner with more creators on this project. If you would like a spool of your favorite creator, make sure to let him/her know about this project!
You can also support existing spool designs on our Discord.
If a spool reach enough support we will reach out to the creator to suggest the project.
But I'm also looking forward to the community's reaction to the Dragon Age series' best character creator yet. At the heart of it is inclusivity, Veilguard game director Corinne Busche tells me before letting me guide her through creating my own character.
As is usual, there are four races to choose from: Elves, Qunari, Humans, and Dwarves. After selecting Qunari, Busche pages through various presets, explaining the game allows for more detailed looks at each and the ability to choose pronouns with she/her, he/him, and they/them separately from gender, select different body types, and more. You can view your character, referred to as Rook in-game, in four different lighting scenes at any time, including The Veilguard's keynote purple hue, a bright and sunny tropical day, and a gothic night.
I joke with the team that after spending upwards of an hour creating my Dragon Age: Inquisition character in 2014, I immediately restarted the game after seeing him in the first cutscene; the in-game lighting made my hair color look terrible amongst other issues I had with my Inquisitor. Veilguard creative director John Epler says the team is aware of countless stories like that with Inquisition and its green-hued character creator, adding BioWare worked hard to squash that concern in Veilguard.
Head and body presets can be selected individually and customized to your liking with 40 different complexions that include smooth, rugged, youthful, and freckled skin tones, skin hues ranging from cool to neutral to warm, undertones to those skin tones, and even a melanin slider. Busche tells me BioWare relied on consultation to represent all people authentically. There's a Vitiligo slider (where you can adjust the intensity and amount of it) and sliders for your forehead, brow, cheeks, jaw, chin, larynx, and scalp. You can select your undergarments, with nudity as well because "this is a mature RPG," Busche adds, and use the "Body Morpher" to select three presets for each corner of a triangle and then move a cursor within it to morph your body or head into a mix of these presets. It's an impressive technology I'd like to see adopted in other games.
I can keep going: You can adjust height, shoulder width, chest size, glute and bulge size, hip width, how bloodshot your eyes are, how visible cataracts are, the sclera color, how crooked your nose is, how big its bridge is, the size of nostrils and the nose tip, and there are as many sliders, if not more, for things like Rook's mouth and ears. On ears alone, I see you can adjust asymmetry, depth, rotation, earlobe size, and even add cauliflower ear to your Rook. Busche says makeup blends modern stylings with the fantasy of Dragon Age with more than 30 options, including eyeliner intensity, color, glitter, eye shadow, lips, and blush.
Tattoos are just as customizable alongside options for scars and paint. Tattoos, scars, and paint are very culturally relevant to some lineages, BioWare tells me, with unique tattoos for elves, for example. You can add tattoos to Rook's face, body, arms, and legs, and you can adjust things like intensity, too.
Im most impressed, however, by the hair options on display; there are a ton, and as someone with long hair, I'm especially excited about the fun selections I can make. You can finally dye your hair with non-traditional colors, and it's gorgeous. EA's Frostbite engine uses the Strand system to render each style fully with physics. "The technology has finally caught up to our ambition," Dragon Age series art director Matt Rhodes says.
"Rook ascends because of competency, not because of a magical McGuffin," BioWare core lead and Mass Effect executive producer Michael Gamble tells me in contrast to Inquisition's destiny-has-chosen-you-characterization.
Ready to begin our Rook's journey, we select a first and last name and one of four voices out of English masculine, English feminine, American masculine, or American feminine options. There's a pitch shifter for each voice, too, allowing you to tweak it to your liking further.

This project intends to use materials that are either in the public domain or are available by the permission for their respective copyright holders. All materials of this IPTC standard covered by copyright shall be licensable at no charge.
Development and maintenance of the IPTC Photo Metadata schemas is led by David Riecks (PLUS) and Michael Steidl (IPTC) and these members of the Photo Metadata Working Group contributed (ordered by surname):
The IPTC Photo Metadata Standard includes two metadata schemas, sets of metadata properties. Each schema has its specific version, the version of the full standard reflects the year of release. Both is indicated below.
This document is a specification that may be revised to fix errata. Any changes will be indicated by a new document revision number.Any changes to the specification will be reflected by a change of the version of the standard.
IPTC Photo Metadata provides data about photographs and the values can be processed by software. Each individual metadata entity is called a property and they are grouped into Administrative, Descriptive and Rights-related properties.
The IPTC Extension schema extends and complements the IPTC Core schema by an additional set of more granular properties and further specialised rights-related properties from the PLUS metadata schema [PLUS]. It started in 2008.
Digital cameras capture metadata at the time the image is taken reflecting technical characteristics. Such metadata may include, but is not limited to, generic camera metadata, camera manufacturer-specific metadata, ICC profiles and positioning data. Standards for these metadata are not subject to IPTC Standards, but are under the control of the camera manufacturers, their associations (such as CIPA) and others. Because the IPTC acknowledges these technical metadata standards of other bodies and does not wish to duplicate existing metadata properties, the IPTC Photo Metadata specification does not include any technical metadata.
In general: search this document for the term 2023.2, this will show you in the sections of the IPTC Core and the IPTC Extension schemas all added or changed metadata properties. The term can be found in the History Notes row.
The specification of a Photo Metadata property is shown in a generic table form using the following template.
Some rows may be missing if there is no use for this specification, e.g. structures have no help text or label as they are applied to a property with help text and label.
This web document is intended for human eyes reading the specification of the standard. But as reading metadata from image files and embedding metadata into image files is done by software IPTC provides a machine-readable version of the specification that can be consumed directly by software tools. It is called the IPTC Photo Metadata TechReference.
The term Metadata Property is used for data about the image content. A metadata property can be made to hold only a single kind of value, or a structure of different values, for which the term Metadata Structure is used.
The metadata property Description is made for only one kind of value, a text string, but may provide this value in different languages. It is important to understand that language translations are NOT a metadata structure.
