Island Tycoon: Resort Simulator

Fortnite🎯 Return-capSeeking investmentTycoon · Management

The pitch

A full tycoon management experience built in UEFN. Players start with an empty island and build a resort from scratch — hire staff, manage guest satisfaction, unlock new buildings, and grow to the largest resort in the game.

Tycoon is one of the most-played genres on Fortnite Creative and dramatically underserved in UEFN. There are almost no high-quality management games built with the new toolset. We're building the first one that does the genre justice.

DriftForge has shipped 3 successful UEFN maps. This is our largest production to date — a 4-month build with a 5-person team. The $30k covers team costs, asset licensing, and a professional audio pass.

Guest AI is working. They actually walk around, rate buildings, and leave bad reviews. It's already fun.

Core tycoon loop complete. Build → earn → expand → repeat. Feels right.
