This update brings some awesome changes for UEFN and Creative Mode

Whats new?

UI!

There is now a new user interface template, with lots of examples, of good practises on how to use UI, and how to set up your own unique UI! This mainly focuses of the use of UMG widgets within unreal editor.

Forward-Right-Up-Coordinate System

This experimental feature applies to scene graph experimental within v34.00. The old XYZ, coordinate system has been replaced with a FRU system.

 /Verse.org/SpatialMath

As this is experimental, this change will only be viewed in the Scene Graph API. The rest of the editor still uses XYZ.

For an example on how to use this: See Epic Games Documentation on FRU coordinates

Test Players!

Test players are finally here, as outlined on the 2025 Creator Roadmap. These allow you to enable NPC players that will spawn on your island, to play the game like a regular player. Test players can be enabled from the Debug Settings. You can customise: how many can spawn, and how many are allowed

You can find the list of bugs with test players on the epic games release notes. See the link at the bottom on this blog post

Bank Vault Device

Here from Chapter 6, Season 2 - Lawless. This device allows you to simulate your own bank robbery. Throw thermite at the vault, and start hitting the weak points. You can customise the number of weak points, how players break in, and how much damage is taken + more. UEFN Creators can also script their own events, using verse

Rift Point Volume Device & Rift Point Item
