May Updates for Egg Hunt 2026: The Grand Eggspress
In the merry month of May, we are close to the launch of Egg Hunt 2026: The Grand Eggspress and boy, it’s been a whirlwind! It’s been an amazing experience seeing this game come to life and it wouldn’t be possible without the help from our hard-working team members as well as you, our fans, for the love and support. As we continue forth, here are some of the things we’ve worked on over the course of the last month.
FEATURE 1: The Meringue Oasis transforms from something barren into a level full of adventure that’ll make our players feel immersed soon as they arrive.
Lurking within the bone-dry lands of the high desert, elements of a past marine civilization appear as remnants of aquatic flora rise above the sandy dunes. Even the villagers that make the Meringue Oasis their home sport scales and fins that hearken to the days of their once-flourishing underwater civilization.
The Meringue Oasis also serves as one of the most unique levels within EH2026 as it’s the largest world thus far and designing it was no easy task. According to our lead map designer Shawn_In_3D, the level will carry a significant increase in difficulty for players as they make progress within the game.
“World 4 is definitely the most dangerous level so far due to the ever-present quicksand, and we wanted players to feel that danger without being too punishing.” said Shawn_In_3D. “Being the largest map and having a less linear path, we also knew that signposting and landmarks were incredibly important so players know where to go next, but still feel able to wander around and discover all the things we hid in the nooks and crannies."
With that aspect in mind, it was pivotal for the team members to create realistic components (i.e. cliffs and rock formations as an example) that mesh seamlessly with the level’s terrain and incorporate challenges that’ll excite players. Each piece in the Meringue Oasis from the quicksand’s wily behavior, jagged crevices, and even to the tiniest granule of sand is designed and programmed to convey the harsh desert surroundings.
But what if you are tired of the sand because it’s rough, coarse, irritating, and just gets everywhere? No need to fret, because Pip can help you get rid of those pesky granules. Simply have Pip transform into your own personal bellow and get anything from sand to annoying individuals out of your path. Plus, you’ll have a very adorable contraption as you traverse through the level.
As we wrap up production on the Meringue Oasis, we cannot wait for everyone to dive into a world of nonstop fun packed full of suspense in every corner. Just make sure to stay hydrated because trust us, it’s gonna be one hot adventure you don’t want to miss.
FEATURE 2: Need an escape to the concrete jungle?
Well, look no further than hitting the streets of Sunnyside City and feel the rush of urban life at your fingertips. With a touch of neo-futurism adorning the scenery, the frenetic pace the city weaves through the towering skyscrapers as you and your fellow players hunt additional eggs that lurk in the alleyways.
As you take a step onto well-manicured streets, you’ll experience the amenities Sunnyside City has to offer. Take a walk on the wild side and visit the local zoo, enjoy the asphalt-tinted air, and admire some of the flashy billboards scattered all over. Need a reprieve from the hustle and bustle of modern life? Look no further and relax underneath the shaded rooftop parks adorning the skyline.
Of course with any bustling metropolis, you’ll also encounter a slew of folks that give the place its distinctive charm. You may meet (literally) larger than life characters gracing your presence and accomplish tasks that’ll surely make any delivery robot short circuit. However, all is not what it seems! Even the cosmopolitan energy of Sunnyside City has a grittier side that lurks underneath the roads.
We are making way with the development of Sunnyside City but until then, hold on tight and keep your eyes peeled.
FEATURE 3: As we make way with Egg Hunt 2026: The Grand Eggspress, it’s been an invaluable experience receiving honest feedback from our supporters.
In particular, we’ve been running a series of playtests for individuals who have backed our Kickstarter and have signed an exclusive NDA in order to qualify. Not only does this allow qualified players to get a sneak peek of the game, but it also helps us pinpoint what areas work well and what aspects need tweaks.
During each session, there are two team members that act together to harvest feedback from the players present. The session lead is the individual that talks to all the players engaging in the playtest, keeping track of the time, and guides the overall flow within the playtest. Additionally, the session lead is the only person that is allowed to talk to the playtesters and makes sure players respond to any verbal inquiries. Meanwhile, the note taker in the playtest session is responsible for taking any feedback responses and putting them into a document for the studio team members to review/troubleshoot bugs brought up by the players.
When we work on a project as extensive as Egg Hunt 2026, it’s valuable for the team to receive a fresh pair of eyes to review our content.Throughout every playtest, our team members learn from you, our supporters, on what makes the game great, what areas need significant improvement, and if there’s anything unexpected that pops out of the blue. Even if we have to go back to the drawing board to refine some areas, it’s all to make sure we perfect every section to the finest detail.
We are truly grateful for each and every one of you who have made this project come to life. No matter how small the input, we take each and every person’s suggestion, feedback, or comment into consideration. With July 15th coming round the corner, we want to make sure this game delivers on all fronts for our fans.
