Fortnite POI (WIP)
Japanese Village Point of Interest
About
[Unnamed] is a small Chapter 6 inspired village with lots of elevation changes and nooks and cranny's.
Project Duration: August 2026 - Current
Software
- UEFN
Responsibilities
- Designing POI from graybox to set dressing
- Whitebox the level with foundation pieces, and Chapter 6 props
- Placed ground loot, chests, and ammo crates
The Process
- This project came from inspiration while creating the Coastal POI on my portfolio. I really wanted to work with the foundation pieces available in UEFN, since during the design of my previous POI, I had been considering how to prevent the players from escaping under the terrain.
- I started by blocking out a foundation on one of the default islands, focusing on working alongside the existing terrain to create a four-tiered village. The first tier including one entrance and a rock garden, the second tier with three entrances and building access, and the third tier with two entrances, alongside the majority of entrances to the POI's structures. The fourth tier was scrapped, as it felt awkward while playtesting.
- The elevation changes within this POI adds visual interest alongside height advantages throughout the town. Crumbled walls, as well as the tiered elevations, also provide cover opportunities for Zero Build players.
- I added a few buildings, an archery courtyard, and a watchtower inspired by the beloved Tilted Towers' clocktower and Lucky Landing pagodas using assorted walls, floors, and roof pieces from the Chapter 6 folders. After scrapping the fourth tier, I replaced it with a residential courtyard and more crumbled walls for cover and began set dressing using props from Chapter 6.

Original Foundation Blockout
Details
Residential
- The residential zone includes two houses: a two story home with an interior courtyard, and a three story home with basement access to the lower elevations. The courtyard home includes roof access for high ground advantage, while also providing plenty of walls inside for cover. The other home has three levels, with the main entrances located on the second floor, providing cover and safe access to the different levels of the village.
Commercial
- The focal point of the commercial zone is the watchtower. Access from the roof after gliding, or through the ground level window, provide a highly contested looting zone for a quick loadout. The crumbling walls around the archery training grounds allow for quick cover in and out of the courtyard.
Rock Garden
- At the lowest tier of the POI is the rock garden. The tall bamboo and tree canopy provide safe cover from players further up in the village.
