New Year's Eve on Egg Boy Island
On January 2 this year, Chu Chu posted a video of "New Year's Eve on the island" on the circle of friends. In the video, she and her friends came to the platform with the best view on Egg Boy Island. While counting down the countdown with laughter and laughter in real life, they operate the egg boys in the game world to "sit down" and watch the fireworks bloom in the night sky. In the World Channel, everyone is brushing "Happy New Year" - this is the New Year's Eve memory of "Egg Boy Party" at the beginning of the year, and in a blink of an eye, another year will pass.
For the upcoming 2024 New Year's Eve, I have a little regret at the beginning. As a result of graduation, she and several of her former friends now live in different cities, and it is difficult to reproduce the scene of playing games together in the dormitory and swapping mobile phones to play races. But soon, her tone became expectant again: "But we have made an appointment, this year we can connect with WeChat and continue to spend the New Year in 'Egg Boy'." ”
is different from Chu Chu, Ah C is already the "organizer" of the New Year's Eve event in "Egg Boy Party". Two weeks ago, she was on the World Channel with everyone on New Year's Eve. Just like in some popular short videos, friends change to similar colors, choose a suitable map, or pose in the middle of Eggboy Island. Ah C thinks that with the light show and fireworks on the island, it must be very ceremonial.
Many players choose to celebrate New Year's Eve in "Egg Boy Party" and wait for the fireworks to come
That's right, we're about to start a new year. The word "farewell to the old and welcome the new" is always expected, and New Year's Eve in "Egg Boy Party" is not a new thing. On most social platforms, we can see many players sharing their New Year's Eve memories related to Egg Boy, whether it is checking in the map with friends in reality, or stacking fun with netizens.
On Egg Boy Island, no matter how long or short the distance is, you can get together and wait for the fireworks to fall.
Infected by this atmosphere, I also plan to take my friends to see the fireworks on Eggboy Island this year. Spending a New Year's in Egg Boy Party, or going a step further, spending a certain point in your life - this has become the choice of more and more young players.
Previously, I took a friend to celebrate a birthday in Paradise Mode, and we carefully selected a birthday picture based on popular recommendations on various platforms. The scene of that map was beautifully built, not only with cakes, balloons, but also with birthday hats and "blowing out candles", and I manipulated my lamb around my friend in peach skin, holding a sign that said "Happy Birthday", and started to circle in circles, and the circle was twisting and turning, and we couldn't help but laugh.
Due to the limitations of time and space, more and more people choose to share those meaningful moments with friends and family in games: Christmas, New Year's Eve, birthday, ...... And "Egg Boy Party" also meets these needs very well - it has so many maps that fit the scene, has a festive atmosphere of Egg Boy Island, and more importantly, has a warm atmosphere.
UGC
On December 29th, "Egg Boy Party" kicked off the "Park Carnival" event, which is the first annual park co-creation exhibition in the game. At first, I didn't understand the meaning of this event, but when I logged into the game and clicked on the "Park Time Train" in Park Mode, I immediately understood that this was a player's paradise and a New Year's carnival for players.
At the end of the year, it's amazing to look back at your own paradise summary. There are a lot of maps, I still remember how I felt when I played with them: this horror map, I played with my roommates, it wasn't too scary, but we had to shout, this difficult map, I really practiced it for a long, long time, this map was very beautiful, and my friends and I took a lot of photos in it...... As its name suggests, "Time Train" is a collection of happy moments that my friends and I shared in Egg Boy Party.
Players can take a ride on the Time Train and view their own memories of the park
After summing up my memories of the park, I quickly saw the Eggboy craftsmen in the square—the creators who created many maps that were beautiful, tricky, logical, or delicate. According to the data released by the carnival, more than 100 million park maps will be born in the game in 2023, with an average of 3.8 new maps born every second, and the creators will have a total of more than 70 million hours of creative time. In this carnival, you can see many original booths of artisans randomly displayed, and you can randomly jump into these maps when you walk into the stage, and experience it in detail.
I've planted a lot of new maps, some of which I've added to my favorites to play with friends in the future, such as the map "Twisting the Dust", just like its introduction "The River Tunes the Jade Qin, One String and One Clear Heart", which is an ancient map with gurgling water and a tinkling of the piano, with many musical instrument elements, which makes people clear to the ear.
There are also two maps, "The Doorbell Rings" and "Limited Punch In", both of which have a lot of love elements. Especially the latter, first walk through the road paved with "I LOVE U", you can walk into the romantic wedding - green lawn, snow-white arches and seats, flying petals, obviously, this is a suitable map for couples to check in, maybe in the future, there will really be players here to hold weddings!
It's exactly the wedding scene
In the carnival's "Popular Map of the Year Pavilion", I also saw many attractive maps. One of them, "Surprise Chinese New Year's Eve 2024", was also silently added to my collection - I decided to check in here after watching the fireworks on Egg Boy Island this year. This is a beautiful snow map, with snowflakes falling slowly in the night sky, and players can also wear a snowman costume in the map, with strings of warm lanterns on their heads, and a plaque with "Happy New Year" written on their hands, creating a warm and joyful New Year's atmosphere.
The scene of "Surprise Chinese New Year's Eve 2024" is very New Year's atmosphere
On social platforms, there are also bloggers who recommend the map of "Egg Boy Party", and they began to recommend this map that is "very suitable for playing with eggs on New Year's Eve", and in the comment area, many players circled their friends, happily discussing the beautiful scene, and how to spend the upcoming December 31 in the game.
There are also plenty of other styles of New Year's Eve check-in maps to choose from
The maps created by these players, and these small, close-to-life exchanges, are important reasons for me to stay in Egg Boy Party. We all know that the success of Egg Boy Party is inseparable from the UGC (User Generated Content) community. Players share their own gaming experiences, record every little thing that happens in the game, and no longer just "play the game" mentality, but experience the "life" in the game with a more focused, more expected and more worthy of being valued.
It is precisely because everyone is so serious about "living" on Eggboy Island that the creators have also combined more real festivals, scenes and games - which also adds a special memory to our real life.
Play & Life
As mentioned earlier, "Egg Boy Party" has always paid great attention to the "sense of ceremony". Take this New Year's Eve event as an example, the New Year's Eve light show, the theme float parade, the Central Memorial Pavilion ...... Each one is rich in content and on a huge scale.
On December 29th, I also watched the parade of floats on Egg Boy Island, and saw many familiar faces, such as the popular idol Yaoxing, the well-known jungle adventurer Xiaosa, the first dog Laika to fly into space, the new generation of actor Lucy, and the snowfield guardian Watulu...... There are a total of 5 floats in this parade, which correspond to the themes of the different party seasons in 2023, and take turns to appear, which has a very "year-end show" atmosphere.
The overall scene layout is very festive
Clearly, players are getting more and more fond of, and more Xi to be in the game – or, specifically, spending those holidays in Egg Boy Party. Taking it a step further, players love to spend the moments they think are important and crucial in Egg Boy Party.
Each generation has its own way of life and Xi, visiting relatives, eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, watching the Spring Festival Gala, and now, young people are Xi to entering the "Egg Boy Party" for the New Year.
Although the format has changed, the core remains the same: at certain key world nodes, or commemorative dates, in the space you know and like, in the way you like, with the people you like.
The future is coming. The boundaries between games and the real world, the virtual and the real, are merging, and our lives are changing day by day. But looking back, the most important thing seems to have never changed, and what we cherish and look forward to the most is still the companionship, interaction and connection between people. In a sense, with Egg Boy Party, we are able to spend these unforgettable moments in an environment that we feel comfortable with, across time and space.
Therefore, at the moment, for young players, perhaps meeting friends for New Year's Eve in "Egg Boy Party" is their meaningful New Year's Eve form.
"Egg Boy Party" not only does a good job of fulfilling this responsibility, but also helps the younger generation find a sense of ritual in the game, bringing another layer of spiritual value in addition to fun.
