The evolution and decline of Fortnite's artstyle
Just in time for Remix Chapter 2 (OG CHAPTER 2), we take a look back through over a decade of development history to understand just how Fortnite became the titan of both the gaming and advertising industries that it is today.
I had a blast making this one, even if it got delayed a bit cause of the anniversary video. Who knows, Fortnite might become more of a main stay on this channel if you guys enjoy this one!

Massive thanks to @FortniteArchive for preserving a lot of the older information sourced in this video along with a bunch of ancient save the world footage, it is fascinating to look over all of it and deserves its own video for complete coverage to be completely honest.
A lot of the information here was also sourced from the video "Developing the Art of Fortnite" from GDC 2018. Feel free to check that out as well, it's shocking to go from that to some of the later seasons for sure.

Dress to impress is better
My brother told me about it, during preseason, before season one. On my first game I threw a bomb and killed my teammate on accident. That was 7 years ago.
Still my favorite game of all time forever
17:48 Nigga they were based on the gameplay and not the color no1 gaf about color😭😭😭😭
You never know bruh 🙏
I thought you were gonna go somewhere with the part of the dev team having 1/3 of a year in chapter 2 season 2 (or 3, I forgot which). where you’d say that the dev teams just don’t have enough time to find or make something fun for the community anymore since the chapters are so short now. not criticizing or whatever but I just thought you’d mention something along those lines since that was what I was thinking you were leading on to
I did come back around to this point toward the event of the video but yea I think the main problem with their development cycle atm is being forced to include collaborations into gameplay, and because they have so little time to work with they end up pouring most of their resources into these collaborations instead of a mix of both collabs and original concepts unique to Fortnite, what happens is that those concepts we do end up getting are never fully fleshed out by the end of a season and end up falling flat as a result of devs being sweeped up for one of various mid-season collaborations on top of actually creating the next season. That's just my suspicion though.
16:10 is this the roblox 2018 egg hunt music? made me nostalgic
Indeed it is !
5:20 36 hours
🤓
1:30 they abandoned the creepy art direction in 2011
Now ch6 will bring back the art style that looks like Fortnite thankfully because the skybox of ch6 was leaked and it looks beautiful and the skybox of ch6 is a mix of cartoony and realism
I actually remember watching your loomian legacy video when I was a kid wtf 😂
Yo that's a deep cut lol, welcome back :P
Even jonesy is different now
I will really watch anything Fortnite related 😂😂 Like how did I get here 😂
that egg hunt 2018 bslick banger really hit hard
You're an absolute legend for recognizing that one.
I loved rewind royal then i got ezfn and wow it made me feel like a kid again
Please shut up
Really enjoyed the video. My whole family has played Fortnite since the first chapter, and we really miss the aesthetics and character of old Fortnite. None of us are fans of collab seasons, so we’ve pretty much been playing Rewind Royale while waiting for Chapter one to come back.
why can't you just accept that fortnite is now this and not the game you used to play and if you can't really stand it don't play it then nobody forces you and there are a lot of games out there
I joined the discord Even the discord was disgusting someone said whenever I’m 60 or sum like that i can’t repeat it was very disgusting 😔
Good thing I started Fortnite chapter two season 4 because I don’t think I would be playing this game if I missed og spiderman
as much as i laughed at 19:59, it really makes you realize how bloated and over the top fortnite has become. as someone who pre-ordered STW and recently just reinstalled the game, there's so many different art styles all in one game that it's almost nauseating to think about. and sadly fortnite's original artstyle gets lost in the corporate collab slurry. i think the video's great and really shows how far fortnite has gotten from its original vision.
STW is the last left of what Fortnite use to be
Honestly, just lend Fortnite to the community, it feels like the community itself nows what's better for Fortnite than Epic Games themselves, FN isn't as fun anymore, it doesn't have the same feeling when a new chapter drops, doesn't have a fresh feeling when graphics change, the collabs just feel bland and just to make money, the story was completely abandoned since Chapter 3 season 3 imo and with Donald Mustard having left Epic Games, it feels like like Fortnite's downfall is happening now
I pre-ordered Fortnite like the 100 dollar edition it came with two codes for the save the world

why was bargetown moved from the bridge to a completely different island
The city and Bargetown being right next to each other generated a lot of lag for lower-end devices, so its more of a developmental thing than it is a lore thing.

How do you feel about Chapter 1 coming back permanently next month?
Honestly I'm really excited for it, I just hope they don't turn it into an ad spot... otherwise it's a step into removing the limited-time nature of chapters/seasons in Fortnite which honestly feels like the end-game of Epic's hand in keeping Fortnite an actively updated game. I suppose we'll have to see what happens though, here's hoping the new chapter is fun because it is peak Fortnite and not because it has a bunch of random collaborations thrown into it.
I got so used to the Chapter 5 art style that when remix dropped and I played my first match I got whiplash seeing that colors actually exist
I really miss the old art style, I really hate that fortnite is being used as a test bed for the unreal engine... also GOD PLEASE BRING BACK ENVIRONMENTAL STORY TELLING! GIVE PLAYERS REASON TO FALL IN LOVE WITH THE MAPS AGAIN
Honestly yes it’s much worse but with remix and the eventual return of permanent Fortnite OG you can tell it’s partially bringing back the og style. The guns are much more realistic but still cartoonier than previous chapters. I feel like it’s coming back
Fortnite has became the biggest game for product placement, like with Marvel's characters and whoever else is in the game now. You know those series of paintings from that artist with dementia that drew himself a lot before the last couple of drawings looked so different and odd that it no longer looks like the artist? That's what Fortnite is now (to me atleast). I'm glad that they're trying to make it so battle passes from seasons ago would make a return, but I feel like it's maybe four or five years too late.
👍
art style is still good what are you talking about keep crying
It's dull now and boring
Started playing near the end of chapter 1 season 4 and fully goes into it with buying BP for season 5 (this is why Drift is my fav skin). Played until chapter 1 season 8, then quit on season 9. Then, after a while, i came back around chapter 4? (Where have the Miss X (the one with either blue or red colour and orange pants) Played for one season, and it was alright, but quit after that, so yeah. The new chapter doesn't seem that interesting compared to precious atleast but that might just be me
Also played alot of STW during chapter 1 too but also quit after they drop the support for it (sad tbh)
Save the World getting canceled after Chapter 2 released is a true tragedy
everything’s too realistic now it’s lost it’s charm and feels like a cod rip off i miss those simpler days with the cartoony artstyle
everyone loves no build, all my friends play no build, WHY PLAY FORTNITE THEN GO PLAY WARZONE MAN
@@Sykxezncause all the other battle royales are too hardcore, too complex. Also the comparison is really stupid
@@Sykxezn Screw build mode, it's a disgusting sweatfeast with a learning curve as toxic as league's.
the absolute state of AAA shooters: fortnite trying to be cod, and cod trying to be fortnite
Personlly i think og fortnite was before season 2, the battlepass and the game overall started to rot. I miss og fortnite its a pity the mode will be playable the first month... 😢
Yk why it’s cause kids wanna be older now tbh acting hood
This game has since been taken down :C Brickmin has become LOST MEDIA
collaborations genuinely ruined this game
Its definitely a wholly new beast compared to what it once was, for better and very much for worse
While I love playing as boba fett and the ninja turtles, I agree. Its way too much
Good video but I can’t stand your voice bro
Glad you enjoyed it anyway lol
Dude honestly the fact you don't get enough credit for your videos is just sad. This editing style is amazing and your scripts are perfect. It sucks that you don't get enough views for your video.
Hey thanks! I've only started making larger video 'essays' (overused term I know) this year so I'm certainly grateful for all the attention they've received so far. I hope you'll stick around for whatever is next, thanks for the comment! :)

Chapter 2 still had many old assets
This video released before Chapter 2 Remix so I honestly forgot that most of the interiors from back then used Chapter 1 props. In hindsight that might be one of the most glaring flaws with this video, but Chapter 2 still marked a shift in direction through the new props that came with it and they would only continue to redesign old assets with the release of each new chapter. Anyhow thanks for taking the time to comment, much appreciated :D
For me ch 1 season 7 is when fortnite felt "different" idk how to describe it but it was weird
It definitely was one of my favorite seasons!
Man you’re gonna HATE Chapter 2 Remix
The loot pool of Chapter 2 is unbeatable but yea it's just not the same haha
This is a great video with valid points with evidence.
i found out about fortnite from my friend who was playing back at season 5 chapter 1 and i started playing pretty cool thinking how everyone started
The original design intent of fortnite was so awesome and unique. It hurts so bad seeing how its declined into a dull and corporate mess, making the artstyle as lifeless and barebones as possible just to accommodate the overwhelming number of collabs. Great video.
Much of this video's idea was based off of a GDC talk in 2018 called "Developing the Art of Fortnite." It's genuinely insane to go from that hour-long speech about how they managed to come up with a perfect art style for a game that was very much a passion project for Epic at the time to literally any of the more recent seasons. I hope this video managed to convey that contrast of emotion in some way
Man your man OG fortnite players get mad with I Make epic games email i want sailor moon add to fortnite now I em sorry man
YES i agree i used to be excited for collabs but now i couldn't care less its becoming more like Roblox and less like Fortnite its lost its identity and these collabs are becoming corporate and overwhelming
I don’t mind collabs, but I’m not a fan of having actual skins. I’m a fan for Fortnite skins and Fortnite skins that mimics others, like The Reaper skin was supposed to be their version of John Wick, Valor was like a Fortnite version of Wonder Woman. The battle pass should’ve kept in line with that. And if they were to have actual collab skins, make them rare and put them in the shop not the fucking battle pass.
cry
Playing since Chapter 1 Season 3 , I have long accepted Fortnite has just become a collab hellscape where nothing makes sense. It really says about Epic's aimless nature with where they want to take this game when there's a alleged leak of a permanent Chapter 1 OG mode coming out alongside Chapter 6. Chapter 5 was such a boring era of Fortnite that I feel like Epic thinks the only way to keep players attention is to constantly go back to the good old days, instead of wondering why said good old days was fun to begin with
Yea I've seen a lot of people discussing the same general topic that this video covers and with Remix coming out since I published this one I definitely think a lot of them are right to say that it doesn't seem like Epic can get behind the fact many of us like (or for many of us used to like) Fortnite for the charm that the game inherently had. Here's hoping we get more creative and fun ideas that aren't tied solely to crazy collaborations.
I feel like the reason they're going back to the "good old days" Is because the Fortnite community is pulling a whole "Pokemon Black and White" situation, were getting mad about all of this new stuff, that there wasn't enough old fortnite content, and to bring back the old Fortnite via I think, And when Epic Games does that, now everyone is mad because Old fortnite was being milked to death and they miss the times where old fortnite wasn't milked... Sorry for bad english.... But the Fortnite community cannot be pleased for some reason 😭 (or atleast that's what I'm seeing)
Hopefully Chapter 6’s graphics will not be more realistic than Chapter 5 (even though they might do it)
graphics cant stay the same forever
