Create and Explore Your Island

Before you can set up your island in UEFN, you will need to create a project.

You'll start your project by selecting an island. For this tutorial, you'll use a blank template that has very little content. As you add content to the project, it is saved within your project.

1. Launch UEFN. (If the News window opens, close it by clicking Let's get started!) The Project Browser opens.

   If you have previously created islands in Fortnite, these will appear under your My Projects tab. If this is your first time in Fortnite, this tab will be empty.

2. Click the Island Templates tab, then click Blank.

   

3. At the bottom of the window, you can name and save your project. The name defaults to MyProject, but you can name it whatever you want.

   Three things to know about naming projects:

   1. Whatever you name your project will be that project's name moving forward for all of eternity.
   2. Only use letters, underscores ( _ ), and numbers to name it.
   3. Do not use spaces in the name.

4. Name your project.

5. Click Create.
