OVERVIEW

The New Gold Standard: Inside Cash Heist City

Co-founded by YouTube creators Typical Gamer and Chad Mustard, JOGO Games is built on a "player-first" philosophy that prioritizes fun above all else. With Cash Heist City, they saw an opportunity to bring high-stakes adrenaline and social complexity to a platform where millions of players already gather: Fortnite’s UEFN.


By building in UEFN, JOGO bypassed years of overhead associated with custom engines and focused on building richer, more ambitious experiences directly inside an ecosystem players already know and trust. “I really think that UGC is the future, not just of Fortnite, but of gaming in general,” says Chad Mustard, COO of JOGO. “Where anyone can make the experience that they've dreamt about their whole lives and immediately get it in front of players.”

 

For JOGO, bringing their vision to life meant building a world where the environment was just as active as the players themselves and partnering with KitBash3D to provide the high-fidelity foundation required to build a city at this scale.

“One of the biggest hurdles when you're making something like this is just the time it takes to build a world that feels believable. By using these tools and working with KitBash3D, we were able to focus on the things that actually make the game fun, because we knew the environment was already handled at a professional level.”

The "If There's a Ramp" Rule

Every element of a video game must be a participant in the gameplay. In Cash Heist City, all of the alleyways, buildings, and rooftops are vetted for player movement. This is critical for locations like The Vault, where players navigate high-security areas, and for the ATMs that anchor the bounty system. Cash Heist City focuses on environmental readability to ensure players instinctively understand how to interact with the world around them.

“One rule that I love to live by is asking the question: if I see a ramp, will I shoot off of it?” says Jeremy Pedron, Lead Game Designer at JOGO. “What is the player expecting from the things that we put in the world? If there is an airport, I can ride a plane, right? The answer always has to be yes to those assumptions. In Cash Heist City, we’re in a city, we’re playing with verticality, which is not super familiar in Fortnite. The verticality piece is incredible.”

“KitBash3D didn't just hand over Kits; they partnered with us to define a whole world. Every alley, rooftop, and landmark was crafted with intent, which gave us the creative runway to embed missions, player movement, and real stakes into the city itself.” - Jeremy Pedron, Lead Game Designer, JOGO

To incorporate verticality into gameplay, JOGO collaborated with KitBash3D to ensure that every asset functioned as a natural extension of Fortnite's character and parkour systems. Rather than placing static structures, the teams treated the skyline like a high-speed obstacle course. KitBash3D specifically modeled and designed the buildings with the intention for vertical traversal, ensuring that a player could leap from a rooftop on the Boardwalk and find a perfectly spaced ledge to continue their momentum.



This required rigorous design and testing to ensure every leap felt natural for the Fortnite player's jump distance. By fine-tuning these heights and ledges, KitBash3D and JOGO turned the urban sprawl into a fully responsive playground where players can climb to the very top of The Grand or engage in rooftop-to-rooftop chases without ever losing their flow.
 

The Future of Creator-Built Worlds

Cash Heist City is a roadmap for every small studio with big ambitions. It proves that you don’t need a thousand-person team to create a world-class experience. By combining KitBash3D’s world-class assets with JOGO’s intentional, gameplay-driven design, Cash Heist City has become a fully realized world that feels cohesive and alive. 

“Cash Heist City shows what happens when a creator-led studio like JOGO partners with the right worldbuilding platform. Together, we were able to build a city that feels alive, supports gameplay at every level, and delivers an experience that would have previously required a much larger team. Players get richer worlds, more ambitious ideas, and experiences that feel polished and fun. That’s a future we’re excited about, and this project is a real proof point of where things are headed.” - Banks Boutte, Co-CEO, KitBash3D
