Getting Started with Verse

Verse is a programming language designed with video games and game-like experiences in mind. This makes it well-suited for handling game-specific needs.

Why Verse and Creative?

Learning a new programming language can be intimidating, especially when one of the benefits of the Creative toolset in Fortnite is not having to worry about programming.

But programming is inherent to game design.

With Fortnite Creative, you can construct gameplay rules using devices, but you can only connect these devices in specific, pre-defined ways. If you want to do something that no existing device or combination of devices can do, that gameplay concept cannot be implemented directly on a Creative island.

This is where Verse supplements the Creative toolset by using programming to bridge the gap that existing devices can't fill. Verse gives game developers a way to create new functionalities, or simplify what would otherwise be complex device setups.
