Roblox News Egg Hunt 2012: The Roundup

The Roblox News Egg Hunt 2012 ended a couple of weeks ago, and it was a real blast! The place was visited over 1200 times and hundreds of badges were awarded. It was a real success and I thank the three other members of the RN team who helped me produce it: zinc404, IBarrageI and TheEasterZombie.

The map was created by myself (arbirator)

The fantastic scripting was crafted by zinc404



And the retextures were produced by IBarrageI and TheEasterZombie (a couple were also by myself).


 



However, let us not forget that I promised to feature every user that collected the 'Egg Collector' badge and private messaged the RNEggHunt account.

Eggstravagant Retextures Contest Winners!

Easter has long since passed, but the Roblox News Egg Hunt is still running! The three winning eggs were used in the hunt and all had different scripted behaviour.

Here are the winners:

The Burning Egg of Dragonkind - By mikemaximum33

I really liked this retexture because it looks like lava flowing all over the egg with suiting colour all mixed it one and a dark base. It really suited the title of 'Dragonkind'. In the egg hunt, this egg explodes violently after the player touches it and kills them instantly.

Chocolate Button Egg - By hammer124

This egg retexture is very simple, but highly effective. The shades buttons look great situated on the brown background and look extremely realistic. A very chocolately egg! When the player touches this egg, they turn into a chocolate bunny and have a reduced walkspeed.

Holey Egg of Olympics - By hammer124

As the London 2012 Olympics are fast approaching, I thought it would very fitting to include a Olympic themed egg. The rings are nicely shaded and coloured and suit the theme well. In order for a player to collect this egg, they have to jump through 3 red rings which turned green as jumped through. Once all rings were green the egg dropped at the end, free for the player to collect.

The Roblox News Egg Hunt was a great success this year and I thank everyone who was involved; be it playing the game or working on the project. We will definitely be holding another next year!

The hunt is running until the 27th of April which is when the account: RNEggHunt loses BC, so if you're planning on getting all the badges; hurry!

Thanks!

Roblox News Egg Hunt 2012 is now live!

Yep, that's right. We finally finished the egg hunt! Zinc707 has been hard at work releasing patches for all the bugs in the game and now the game is relatively bug free and plays smoothly!

However. Don't go charging into the game thinking that you can't die, because let's just say some eggs go out with a 'bang'.

There are a total of 13 crazy eggs to collect with a badge linked to each of them. Once you collect all 13 eggs you will receive the egg collector badge. If you receive this badge; send a PM to RNEggHunt stating you have and we will check your profile for the badge. Once verified, we will post your username in a later post featuring all users who own the egg collector badge.

There is also a bonus badge to collect called 'Bunny Collector'. In order to collect this badge, you must find all 5 chocolate bunnies hidden in the game.

The rarest egg to collect is the 'EggCeption egg', and I'll give you one clue to aid you in collecting it: 'the egg can be anywhere in the universe at one given time - once touched that is'.

Have fun egg hunting, the game will probably run until this weekend!

Roblox News Egg Hunt 2012

If you followed Roblox News back in 2011, you may have taken part in the egg hunt we held back then. It went brilliantly and was visited 400 times. Every user collected a badge for visiting the place, and if they caught all the eggs and took a screenshot; they were featured on Roblox News!

RNEggHunt

The egg hunt was in the form of a scavenger hunt meaning the eggs were hidden around the map, and when you touched them they were ticked off on the egg Gui in the top left corner of the screen. Some of the eggs available to catch were classics from the 2008 ROBLOX egg hunt, however some were designed by the Roblox News team. The scripting of the egg gui was produced by none other than our very own Cowbear16 - creator of the RN Mobile App!

This year, we want the egg hunt to be even bigger and better. This year we have 13 eggs designed by various team members including: IBarrageI, TheEasterZombie and myself, but some were also designed by members of the RN community and are winners of the egg retexture contest we are currently hosting.

This year; it is a proper hunt.

Eggs will be falling from the sky in the style of a classic egg drop. There will be a total of 13 eggs available to catch - each with their own behaviour and conditions in order to obtain them. Some eggs are easy to catch and some are much harder and pose great peril to the ROBLOXian's life. Each egg will have its own badge, but there will also be a couple of bonus badges. If anyone obtains every single badge they can send a screenshot in to us at: robloxnewshelp@live.co.uk and we will happily feature them on the blog.

This year's map is made by myself (arbirator), the majority of the eggs are made by IBarrageI and TheEasterZombie and the scripting is done at the hands of  the mighty zinc707!

The place to hunt the eggs at when the hunt is live is here:

We will announce in a later blog post when the hunt will start!

Good luck, and catch those eggs!
