It's a new week, which means there's a new collaboration in Fortnite. A week after South Park went on a 6-7 meme, the live-action battle royale sticks to animation with Adventure Time, another popular show — albeit for different reasons — that has been a longtime fan request.
There's Fionna the Human, Ice King, and Lemongrab, plus tons of extras, including an emote based on Cake the Cat called “Cake's Narrative Flapjacks.”
It costs 300 V-Bucks, your character makes a flapjack and jumps in the air with joy.
No big deal, right? Well, no. That's because the emotes seemingly put “jiggle” physics back into the game for its female characters, surely unintentionally.
On Reddit, where the discovery was first shared, players noted that this is almost certainly the result of a mess in the animation, which then gives the impression that “jiggle” physics are actually in the game.
They are obviously not in the game.
But until this bit is fixed, then the result is:
“It's not actually jiggle physics,” someone wrote on Reddit. “The animation is just messed up and it looks like the bone in the chest could have a double transformation. That means it moves 2x the distance it should. And that bone controls the diaphragm halfway up the chest.”
Epic's decision to change The Peacemaker Dance is the worst middle ground choice they could make
Epic removed the Peacemaker dance, changed it, and then brought it back.
TheGamer has independently tested the emote and can verify its unintended consequences.
Fortnite previously had to deal with “Jiggle” physics and other NSFW stuff
Since Fortnite is a game primarily played by children and also involves IP addresses that often have strict usage guidelines, Epic Games usually resolves these matters quickly.
Players may recall that early last September, Fortnite removed the ability to combine certain emotes to create a lewd combo. As a result, players could no longer use emotes when another player activated Party Hips or Poki emotes. Those who tried for a fix met with nothing.
Even before that, in 2018, there was the first instance of “jiggle” physics in Fortnite, which was the result of some combination of appearance and emotes. Not only has it been fixed, but Epic Games released a statement calling the situation “embarrassing.”
“It's unintended, embarrassing, and negligent of us to leave this ship,” an Epic representative told IGN at the time. “We are now working to fix this as soon as possible.”
We will update this story if the situation changes.
