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.

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.

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.

Nothing says ‘How many players does your game get on average’. It even asks if your game is new. This could mean they are looking for new and fresh developers.

Hey, you never know. You might get it. I honestly think you should just go for it. You never know!

I agree with you with some things.

Yes it should be doable on most devices (that’s why they are saying at least two devices on the form, the two most selected devices I presume will be PC and phone).
Yes there should be a hub, a bit like what Ready Player Two did.

The pros:
Personally, I thought the eggs looked really nice.
I quite liked how it was in different games, only if the compatibility issue could be fixed for future egg hunts.

I applied for my game to be featured, but our theme will actually be egg hunt related.
My biggest fear with this is that Roblox is going too far on the dev hunts, let me explain.
So this year, we had an egg hunt, but it was not what many people were expecting. It was done lazy, objectives were boring, it was just an advertisement for many games I feel like. Take Bad Business for example, nothing new kill someone and you get an egg, something you do all the time. Same with Murder, kill someone with the egg and you get it. I wish their were requirements for what could be put in the game. I respect all Roblox employees and I’m stating my opinion so it can be heard. Many people can agree with me on this. While I hate to be critical to a game I love, you make it hard to like the game sometimes. Given this statement I have the upmost respect to all you Dev Relations Employees. I feel that like the Star Creators are the ones who are ruining the event, I thought Tower Defense Simulator was good this year and to see a content creator go on a stream and say that it was boring. Star Creators should not get way more respect than devs.
