Summary

"Gaming's evolving faster than ever before, and for many developers like Teravision Games, the speed of change has left them struggling to keep up. After facing financial difficulties following the release of their 1980s horror classic *Killer Klowns From Outer Space*, they've turned to the Fortnite ecosystem, creating games with Unreal Engine 5 (UEFN).

Fuentes envisions this approach as a future trend for indie developers, allowing them to experiment and innovate quickly within a massive platform like Fortnite."
