I’ve personally submitted my game and It supports all platforms including Xbox, Mobile, PC and Tablet.
I think many of the points people make in this thread hold validity like yours. Exposure to new games is nice and I think it’s very kind for Roblox to consider this approach.
With that said, I don’t necessarily agree with you or those points.
When joining these games, people only have one incentive; that incentive is finding eggs. You’re right, new developers will definitely get exposure because of this event, but do you know for how long? Not much. Do you know why players won’t stay long? Because their only motivations are to get the egg and then move on to the next game. (That’s pretty much the entire concept of this event. Go into a game, get the egg, move on to the next game.)
I’ve seen multiple videos of Roblox Youtubers back in 2018/2019 saying that they most likely won’t be visiting those games ever again – and I don’t blame them.
It’s not that the games are bad. (Though, that could be a defining factor, but that’s not the point.) It’s just that people are forced to go on those games out of obligation. When you have so many games on the front page that contain eggs, it becomes a very overwhelming chore to bounce from one game to the next.
That chore of visiting so many games takes away the fun and really squashes energy out of you.
Hopefully they do this one right. Rather than putting decals which rotation on wall.
PLEASE make it fun and NOT GRINDY like the “Wonder Woman Event”. PLEASE don’t put power-ups behind a pay-wall.
The exposure created through DevHunts just doesn’t seem to work. Players didn’t come to the games to play the game, they came to the game to get an egg and leave. Personally I’ve had issues with playing a developers game after how they decided to do their DevHunt quest. It doesn’t do good for the developers or players to do these types of hunts. A dedicated game for the hunt and developers paid to make the hunt is probably the best way to go.
I honestly don’t like these dev hunts, I feel like when there are multiple games there’s no storyline at all. I just see a bunch of random games cramped into an event. When there is only one game, it adds an adventure feel and an actual storyline that makes sense. The majority of the community doesn’t want these dev hunts. It doesn’t benefit developers at all, most players don’t replay their game after the event is over. So please, make the event like 2017/2018
It doesn’t have to be related to Easter. In fact, I don’t think any of the games last year were related to Easter.
Can you apply if your game is still under construction?
I totally agree. This year for the egg hunt, it was an “agent” theme. Literally about none of the missions were related to agents at all, I can only remember one that had an agent theme. 2018 and 2017 egg hunts made sense, and it was pretty fun from what I played from it.
Please, please, please don’t choose 50 random games for the egg hunt. Last egg hunt was really chaotic, no order, the egg phone also was really bad, half the time the screen glitched out, so I wasn’t able to see the eggs I collected. There wasn’t even a hub, some games didn’t even have support for all platforms and just give the reward like that.
There wasn’t even a category dedicated to Egg Hunt. So I had to go and find a needle in a haystack i.e. had to use the search bar, which isn’t accurate by the way, because when I tried searching for that game, it comes as ‘No Results.’
If you’re planning to make a egg hunt this year, make sure you have a story line. It is boring to go to 50+ games to collect eggs, which have no relation to each other.
And please reduce the 50 games to 30 or 20 games. No make that 15 games.
oh boy another dev hunt, do you not realise that dev hunts have never worked out well?
Exactly. I couldnt say this better.
rthro is a type of avatar which “is the new generation of avatars” and makes avatars look realistic and i hate it
Didn’t the group Fifteen say they were working on a big project like egg hunt 2021 a long time ago?
Applying again becasue egg hunt looks like a big opportunity for our game, that we’ve been developing since 2018 and look forward to continue it.
Thank you Roblox for giving us developers a big opportunity to get to live an exciting experience thanks to events.
A lot of posts seem to be discouraged about this being a ‘dev hunt’, in favor for something similar to 2017. Which is totally understandable, but… think about it
The collaboration of a ton of different game universes should be real interesting, new, and immersive.
The reason why this is so tricky to actually pull off in a game event, is because it’s hard to fuse gameplay. If each game implements their own challenge for an egg independently, then any game-story is very disconnected from actual gameplay.
So i hope games this year are able to collaborate and include a collective theme/story in their game to accompany their eggs. Maybe even fuse games with each other, featuring minor characters/ models/ etc. Cuz it’s the metaverse, and that would be cool.
I shall only submit my game if its like 2018
not 2019 or 2020
Every ROBLOX Timmy has left that chat
Ok please don’t make it pay to win if this is what your referring to
No wonder it’s 2020. However this year’s update were awesome, we gotta wind it up with devhunt.
Really Roblox? Another dev hunt?
Most of us don’t like them, and I know you don’t care about that but they don’t work either.
The goal is to promote games and all that, but people only play for the egg hunt, after it ends the non-popular games remain with less than 50 players, wich probably only 1-3 stayed after the egg hunt, and finally it’s just not fun, it feels like a choir.
But I’m going to trust you with this one, I hope you guys took feedback from the 2019 and 2020 one and made this one better.
Well, roblox dissapointed everyone again, this time removing egg hunts and replacing them with some garbage rthro event. The worst thing about this is that they said it’s an egg hunt when it wasn’t, they tricked all of us.
