Happy 7th Birthday, Egg Cave! You're old!

July 20, 2016 at 12:00 AM

WE'RE OLD - We're so old. Happy SEVENTH birthday, Egg Cave! Thank you to all of our lovely players who have supported us for so many amazing years.

ASTEROID PLOT CLOSING - After more than a month since its exciting (and long awaited) release, Egg Cave's 2016 Asteroid Plot is finally coming to an official end. The end date is July 24th at 12:00 PM ECT. If you haven't started or completed the plot yet, now is your chance to do so!

VERY EXCITING NEWS - We've kept it a secret... but... we just can't keep it in anymore! Over the next several months, we're developing Egg Cave version 3, a total redesign of Egg Cave and its features.

We can't say much at the moment, but here's a sneak peek of the design (note: everything is subject to change!). Follow our Facebook and Twitter, as this is where we'll drop screenshots of the new version every once in a while. ;)

A WHITE HOT FIERY CREATURE - In keeping with this month's random theme of FIRE, the white hot Kektron creature has arrived in the Cash Shop Park.


BIRTHDAY CAVE CREATURE - The Leep, cousin of the Yeep, will be appearing in the Cave around our birthday celebrations from here on out...

COFFEES AND MILKSHAKES - These birthday-themed coffees and milkshakes are now available from the Bean Sack.

        


GENERAL FOODS - General Foods is exploding with fun birthday treats too!

       


THIEF SHOP - Another egg has been found circulating in and through the Thief Shop... illegally, of course.

Happy Birthday Eggcave!!! Loving the new look for v3, excited for what I hope will be a beta testing session for it too.

ambivalent • 20 Jul 2016, 12:03 AM

Wooo! Happy Birthday Egg Cave! V3 looks really good! Can't wait for it! And the new eggs of course!

ambivalent • 20 Jul 2016, 12:06 AM

Anyway I'm not sure if this is meant to be, but the new Thief Creature stages can be seen from the Archives.

Happy birthday eggcave!! 😊 Here's to another great year! V3 looks interesting! Can't wait to get my hands on all these new creatures!!

budgie • 20 Jul 2016, 12:12 AM

New creatures look interesting, but I can't say I'm too big a fan of how EC v3 is looking from just that preview. But who knows? ^^

mastergemma • 20 Jul 2016, 12:13 AM

Wooo! Happy Birthday Egg Cave! I can't wait to see what will happen this year.

cosmia • 20 Jul 2016, 12:17 AM

Happy b-day eggcave. ^^

fakeworld • 20 Jul 2016, 12:21 AM

Happy birthday Egg Cave! The Kektron looks epic, and I can't wait to hear more about v3! The look definitely screams 2016.

rileytibbles • 20 Jul 2016, 12:25 AM

I just had my 6th Egg Cave anniversary on the 17th 😸

cubexline • 20 Jul 2016, 12:27 AM

I just noticed there was a "games" tab in the v3 pic, I am very interested and excited to see that, if that is real 😃

netherling • 20 Jul 2016, 12:28 AM

Happy birthday Egg Cave! ❤ī¸ and that Kektron is beautiful *0* I love it

plisser9 • 20 Jul 2016, 12:31 AM

I've been wondering why there haven't been many site changes recently...v3 looks awesome.

animalinn • 20 Jul 2016, 12:34 AM

The Kektron is so beautiful!!! Also v3 looks so cool, so keep up the hard work!

izziebee1017 • 20 Jul 2016, 12:34 AM

SO MUCH GREAT NEWS

fakeworld • 20 Jul 2016, 12:35 AM

@cubexline I just noticed the same thing. 😃 I noticed the "Market" tab too, I wonder what that's going to be for. Curious now.

netherling • 20 Jul 2016, 12:38 AM

Got a Leep on the third try 😃 the cave finally likes me, it's been months lol

spectaclenest • 20 Jul 2016, 12:57 AM

happy birthday!!! soetzal is absolutely gorgeous! i was looking at lovebird colour mutations all day and i see a resemblance ❤ī¸

disneyland • 20 Jul 2016, 1:17 AM

Not sure if it was intentional, but you can see all of the stages of the Soetzal o:

333 • 20 Jul 2016, 1:32 AM

Happy birthday Egg Cave! Lookiing forward to the new design... 😃

murfijs • 20 Jul 2016, 1:48 AM

happy birthday

metaphor • 20 Jul 2016, 2:18 AM

Omg, I can only guess theSoetzal will look like one of my favorite birds, the Quetzal? Neeeeed

metaphor • 20 Jul 2016, 2:19 AM

Yes, it is! New favorite creature!

disneyland • 20 Jul 2016, 2:29 AM

Does anyone know if we are still earning points towards the prize shop by continuing to participate in the gathering of materials?

noah • 20 Jul 2016, 2:48 AM

Happy Birthday Eggcave! Looking forward to all the new stuff!

cguo7 • 20 Jul 2016, 3:24 AM

Happy Birthday egg cave! ❤ī¸ I love the kektron! 😊

arcticwonders • 20 Jul 2016, 3:40 AM

I really don't like the v3 look, but I guess it's beyond help now. It's just too much, too simple and colorful. Nows is good.

sakura-ironoyume • 20 Jul 2016, 4:06 AM

Wooooowwww

emeraldfirefly • 20 Jul 2016, 4:14 AM

Happy birthday egg cave! Kinda sad in a way since the new critter is so similar to my suggestion visually my suggestion may not get made.

raitonchidori • 20 Jul 2016, 4:22 AM

Hope the redesign comes with lots of site improvements, the idea of a new look doesn't interest me much. New trade center, new trade center!

shadowtail_flamestorm • 20 Jul 2016, 4:29 AM

Yes!!!!! ❤ī¸ it! Happy birthday to Egg Cave! 😊 Hope I'll get the new cave critter soon!

veritaspunk • 20 Jul 2016, 4:38 AM

The Soetzal would have fit the bill for an earth day creature ... It isn't too likely for me as it is a Theif Shop creature ☚ī¸

333 • 20 Jul 2016, 4:42 AM

Oooh! Market! Games! Locked creatures? Looking at that screenshots there... Interesting...

veritaspunk • 20 Jul 2016, 4:45 AM

@raitonchidori The site navigation menu looks great. Green .. too much green on the rest of it. At least it isn't light green/pale green

veritaspunk • 20 Jul 2016, 4:46 AM

@raitonchidori That red is an eye sore too for me ... if only we could have customization options/ color scheme modifiers ...

333 • 20 Jul 2016, 4:47 AM

A-ha!!! Volume! Music for Egg Cave? Weird. I've actually been thinking about suggesting that for a while now. Hm.

raitonchidori • 20 Jul 2016, 4:48 AM

@veritaspunk I like the way it is though . remember when it changed to version 2, I also said I liked the way it was, but I used to the new

veritaspunk • 20 Jul 2016, 4:49 AM

@raitonchidori The actual layout looks like a great upgrade and to me looks like a design for Windows XP hehe.

raitonchidori • 20 Jul 2016, 4:49 AM

@333 Volume? I think that's the notifications' page ^^'

veritaspunk • 20 Jul 2016, 4:50 AM

@333 I always listen to music or podcasts/broadcasts in the background, if not sporting events.

333 • 20 Jul 2016, 4:54 AM

@raitonchidori Oh right. Haha. I feel dumb now. XD

333 • 20 Jul 2016, 4:55 AM

Ooh! That'll be handy. A search bar for your creatures!

darkskyazray • 20 Jul 2016, 4:58 AM

sparklefox • 20 Jul 2016, 5:26 AM

Aah, seven years! You'll make me feel old... And new redesign~ Looks nice. Mentions of EC redesigns are making me feel nostalgic.
