Deepak Nair has worked inside Roblox, Epic Games (Fortnite Creative), and Meta Horizon Worlds. Very few people have ever seen all three UGC ecosystems from the inside. In this episode, he's pulling back the curtain on what platforms actually prioritize, why most creators never get heard, and what separates the 1% who make it from everyone else.
We talk about what developer advocates really do behind the scenes, why transparency between platforms and creators keeps breaking down, how solo devs can outperform entire studios, the real timeline it takes to become a top developer (hint: it's years, not months), and what creators consistently get wrong about how platform decisions are made.
Whether you're building on Fortnite, Roblox, or any UGC platform, this conversation will change how you think about the game.
