Fortnite was created by a company called Epic
Games. Epics history dates back to the early 1990s. It
was founded by computer programmer Tim Sweeney,
who had taught himself to write code and created his
own homemade computer games as a kid. At first,
the company was called Potomac Computer Systems.
Later, it was renamed Epic MegaGames, which was
eventually shortened to Epic Games.

Epic created several games during the 1990s, but
the company had a major breakthrough in 1998. That
year, it released a game called Unreal . Unreal was a
first-person shooter set on an alien world. The game
quickly became famous for its impressive 3D graphics.

In 2011, the developers at Epic had just finished
their latest game, Gears of War 3 . After three Gears
games, they wanted to try something new for their
next project. Many of them had been playing build
ing games such as Minecraft , which was starting to
become a huge hit around this time. They started to
think about ways to combine the scavenging and
building of Minecraft with their expertise in shooting
games.

think about ways to combine the scavenging and
building of Minecraft with their expertise in shooting

Almost right away, the developers at Epic knew
they were on to something. Just a few weeks after
coming up with the basic idea for their project, they
created a trailer and showed it at the 2011 Spike Video
Game Awards. This short video, only about a minute
long, was video game fans first introduction

long, was video game fans first introduction

At this point, there wasnt really much for the
developers to say about their game. They had barely
begun working on it! For several years after the first
trailer, they quietly worked on the game without
revealing new information to the public. At the same
time, they worked on another Gears of War game,
which released in 2013, and fans began to wonder
what was going on with Fortnite .

To people on the outside, it might have seemed
like Fortnite had disappeared. But this was not the case
at all. Creating a video game from a brand-new idea
is a lot more work than creating a sequel to a proven
formula. Epic had to make a lot of decisions about
what kind of game Fortnite would become. Developers
knew that it would involve building bases and fighting
enemies. They also knew that they wanted to create a
game that would keep people playing for a long time.

It Takes Teamwork
A lot of hard work goes into creating any video game, no matter how simple it might
seem when you are playing it. It takes many people to create a big, complex game like
Fortnite . Each member of the development team usually specializes in a different aspect
of game creation. There are artists who sketch out designs for the characters, weapons,
and other things you see in the game. There are 3D modelers who turn those designs
into computer graphics. Programmers write code to tell a computer how to run the game.
Composers create music for the game. Interface designers create menus that are easy
to navigate. Testers help find potential problems with the game so they can be fixed.
