Themed cursors: try-out, orientation and simpler purchase
- NewIn your profile and in the shop, a “Try” button on each unlocked cursor lets you see it in action right on this page, without changing your usual cursor.
- ImprovedThe cursor pack is now bought in a single click, straight to payment.
- ImprovedThe shop no longer offers to exchange or buy a cursor you already own.
- FixedThemed cursors (pickaxe, battle bus, loot llama, crown) now correctly face the direction of travel, with their trail just behind them.
AI thumbnail gallery
- NewThumbnails generated with UEFN Tools are now gathered in a public gallery, viewable by everyone without an account: sort by recent or popular, like a creation, or reuse its prompt for inspiration.
- NewClick the image or text of a creation, in the gallery or in “My creations”, to see the thumbnail full size with all its details (scene, style, skin, overlay text, likes).
- Fixed“Reuse this prompt” now correctly takes you to the Generator tab with the settings carried over, and its text is no longer cut off.
AI thumbnail generator: try it without an account
- ImprovedThe UEFN Tools thumbnail generator is now visible without being signed in: fill it in as you like, and you are only asked to sign in when you generate. If your credit balance is too low, the top-up window opens right away.
Shop: buy AI credits in one click
- ImprovedIn the shop, buying an AI credit pack now takes you straight to payment, with no extra step.
New 3D text editor in UEFN Tools
- NewCompose an extruded 3D text (font, size, depth, bevel, curve, material) then download it as FBX, GLB, OBJ or STL, ready to import as a prop into UEFN — directly from the UEFN Tools page, no account needed. Still an experimental tool: not yet validated by a real UEFN/Unreal Engine import.
UEFN Tools: tabbed navigation and a bigger text editor
- ImprovedThe UEFN Tools page now shows one tab per tool (AI thumbnail, 2D text editor) instead of stacking them one below the other.
- Improved2D text editor canvas made taller, the text curve slider now shows its percentage, and the awkward scrollbar around the canvas was removed.
New 2D text editor in UEFN Tools
- NewCompose a styled title (font, color, outline, shadow, gradient, pattern, halo, curve...) on a blank canvas or an imported image, then download the result as PNG or SVG — right from the UEFN Tools page, no account needed.
Alert if your payment is confirmed later
- NewIf your payment (featuring, AI credits, cursors) takes a while to confirm, an alert lets you know as soon as the outcome is known: credited, featuring applied, or declined.
Shop reorganized into category lists
- ImprovedThe Shop no longer has two « Rewards »/« Purchases » tabs: « All », « AI Credits », « Featuring » and « Cursors » tabs filter the categories, and each one has its own Points/Purchase switch to choose how to get it.
The site is now available in English
- NewThe site now shows automatically in French or English based on your browser's language. A globe button in the header lets you change it anytime, and your choice is remembered on this device.

Tags are visible again
- FixedSome older tags had disappeared from the "Tags" page and from suggestions: this is fixed, they're back.
Language switching fixed on some pages
- FixedSwitching from French to English (or back) from some pages, like the dashboard, could lead to an error: this is fixed.

- ImprovedUnlocking a badge now earns a small bonus of points and XP.

- ImprovedThere's no longer a limit on how many friends your referral link can earn you: you're rewarded every time one of your referrals gets their first map approved.
Rank fixed in a few places
- FixedThe rank shown next to your username (account menu, profile, team) could get stuck on "Bronze" even though your real rank was higher: this is fixed.
New tool: UEFN Tools
- NewA new "UEFN Tools" tool, available to any signed-in account, generates a thumbnail for your island using AI, with an image search to better reproduce a named skin. Credits purchasable in the Shop are needed to generate a thumbnail.
- ImprovedThe "Dashboard" button in the header is replaced by "UEFN Tools"; the dashboard is still reachable from your account menu.
4 new themed cursors
- NewAlongside the sniper bullet, 4 themed cursors (pickaxe, battle bus, loot llama, victory crown) are now available in the Shop: 150 points each, or the pack of 4 for €2.99. Pick them afterwards in your profile.
Featuring is now reserved for claimed creators
- ImprovedOnly maps whose creator name you've claimed can now be featured (in the Shop, the Campaign tab, or elsewhere): having only submitted a map isn't enough anymore.
A more discreet feature badge, and a new "Campaign" tab
- ImprovedThe "Featured" label on thumbnails is replaced by a small logo, less intrusive.
- ImprovedThe "Featured" section is gone: featured maps now show up directly at the top of the feed (shuffled if there are several), and no longer appear a second time further down.
- NewNew "Campaign" tab in the dashboard: your running and past features, with the views, likes and favorites they gained, and a button to start a new one (points, podium days, or purchase) without going through the Shop.
- ImprovedThe map picker for featuring now shows its thumbnail, not just its title.
News for featured maps

- NewA "Legal Notice" page (publisher identity, hosting, contact) is now available from the footer.
More reliable view count
- ImprovedThe view count shown on maps is now more representative of actual traffic.

- FixedOn the narrowest phones, the buttons at the top of the page (language, alerts, account) sometimes overlapped the site name instead of cleanly wrapping to their own line.

- NewNouvelle page Boutique, avec deux onglets : « Récompenses » pour échanger vos points (400 points le jour, 3 jours par mois au plus) contre une mise en avant de l'une de vos maps, et utiliser vos jours gagnés au podium ; « Achats » pour les achats en argent, qui arrivent bientôt.
