In this episode of the Creative Juice Podcast, I sit down with Sleighted Sloth, one of the top tycoon creators in UEFN and Fortnite Creative. Jon went from working in credit card apps and mobile development to going full-time as a Fortnite creator in 2024, and the results have been wild. We talk about how he got invited to a LEGO game jam in Denmark, how he designed his tycoons to feel competitive instead of passive, and the real numbers behind in-island transactions including over 2 million V-bucks spent during a single picks run.
We get into what makes a first launch make or break your game, how to build retention without copying everyone else, why testing in private build will never replace testing in public, and how a jailhouse mechanic that costs 100 V-bucks became one of his best selling IAP items. If you are building in UEFN or thinking about going full time as a creator, this one is packed with real talk and real data.
