Whether or not it happens is anyone's bet.
ROBLOX will keep to developer made for the foreseeable future. It only makes sense to have the content creators (developers) create the events now rather than the staff who work on the platform to make content creation possible.
However, I felt this years event was lacking due to the fact that there were 3 developers, each with their own specific task to work on for the event.
We were given about 1 month to create this event, but truly it was only about 2 weeks before the event was meant to start that we got the assets (eggs) for the event, so work could only really properly start then. I did my best with the time I had, but then with only 1 week remaining I had to turn on my heel and scrap everything I had previously done and instead try to create egg hunt after reading numerous (too many) complaints from many sources about how they wanted an Egg Hunt, not a Dev Hunt. So the current event that I have up was made in the 5-day week, Monday to Friday.
I feel as if I could have made it a lot better given more time, but regardless I gave my best effort given what time I had.
What I want to see for Egg Hunt 2016 is a more communal effort on the event. People were discussing the possibility of having multiple developers from RBXDev working on a single project for Egg Hunt 2016.
I think this would be fantastic. There are many fantastic builders and scripters on RBXDev who are well capable to creating professional-level quality work for the Egg Hunt.
I even have seen a project worked on by ShareYourCups and As8D which was intended for Egg Hunt 2015. It was absolutely outstanding looking - a higher design quality than I had ever seen before any any previous egg hunt. Unfortunately I cannot link any images, and the place is private.
Personally this was the first and last event that I will take part in (going by the game reskin setup) even if I'm lucky enough to be offered a place in a future event. There was nothing done wrong on the admins side - it was very well organised on their part and everything was executed perfectly in order to get the event done.
I just feel as if, in future, something as important of an event as the egg hunt will need more than reskins of current games. Rather be its own dedicated game like it has been for the past several years. That has worked well and I hope they consider a large-scale developer created one.
Any thoughts? I'm interested to hear feedback on this purposal. |

Just say that to ROBLOX admins and they'll kneel down to you and say you have 3 wishes.
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air... |

I should not this before I say anything; I am a part of the Community Engagement Team and we don't work very closely with the team that organizes events, so this is mostly conjecture. Disclaimers aside, lets dive in.
I do agree with you that an original map would be better. I doubt many would argue otherwise. I'm not going to say that such a thing would be impossible though as much as I will say that I think I know why they didn't do it this year at least. First and foremost, it is simply easier to include more people on the project if they use it in pre-existing games and personally I think that the eggs were tied into the games pretty well.
The second reason is that collaborative building on a single map is difficult. I remember there being an event (not sure what year it was) where in several of the top developers (in 2009?) won a contest to be able to build these next big showcase games for ROBLOX. The concept was awesome and I even got to participate in some capacity--but the event fail. The maps got made but none of them were ready on time and most of them were okay at best. The point is that it would need to be something that was set into motion far in advance and then we would have to hope it would work out.
I don't think its impossible though, the 2008 and 2009 halloween event were made by players and those were awesome. I also have a feeling that the games team will have new ideas up their sleeves for next year. I appreciate the ideas and suggestions here on this thread. Thanks for the post. |

| I agree with this a whole 100%. It would almost be the same as the Admin-made hunts, but with dev's. So an egg hunt that we all enjoy, made by dev's. Actually a good idea. |

Long story short sure you can use devs to assist in the making of events just don't separate them into different places let them work together on one place

I'm both surprised and disappointed that this thread didn't get more attention.
It looked like a fun discussion. |

| @Sling: Maybe if you stopped treating like the developers on ROBLOX as the only people capable of mature discussions, then people would have cared. There have been more than enough well-written request threads for Egg Hunt 2015 in the past year, yet more than half of them have been completely ignored by the moderators or given little thought. |

Slingshot, what if (and this is just a little thought), instead of having players make games, you would select 3 of the top devs.
One would be for building, another for coding and another for egg designs. The builder would make the map, the egg designer would implement the eggs into the map, and the coder would program the eggs to do special things.
That could be Egg hunt 2016.
~Sorry if my suggestions was terribleeee~ |

@Fluff I am disappointed that you assume that since I spent a lot of time and energy talking about and discussing the event and though I didn't have time to reply to everyone I read all of the posts on this tread: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=157813513
@Under: An interesting idea, I'm not sure how they go about choosing who makes a map and what not. I will have to add that suggestion to my ongoing list. |

Sling, Underworld is correct. I believe that's a great idea and you should tell the Designer team what he said or PM them. I believe we got a new ROBLOX Admin on our hands Sling.
As with you Underworld, I hope you work at ROBLOX in the future. You seem to be well equipped for the job and I see you would be a nice Moderator. Good luck and have a good rest of your day.
And then, the fire nation attacked. Btw, send me trades! ツ |
