It features a beach running down the middle of two equally defended bases. Other Updates - Added a short cutscene to some of the maps with paratroopers landing when playing a Conquest Game Mode, the paratrooper's colour and insignia depend on the winning team. - Added a camera animation to most of the maps for when the ro…
- November Update - Jet Packs and Map Update - 6 November 2018
Hello! There have been many small updates recently and I think it's time for a changelog thing! Last week: - New Jet Pack ability added! - Landings has had some extra "cliff bits" added on the East section and a new spawn point right at the back in the middle. - Ravine has been expanded and changed around a little bit. - The Random Challenge button on the main menu now generates a better random challenge (no more 100 vs 25 matches) - Abilities can now be used by clicking the mouse (they still work with the old "e" and "f" buttons if you preferred that) - Fixed a bug where you could still capture a base after exploding. Today: - Added a back button during the mission briefing which takes you back to the main menu. - Missions 1 to 5 have no Bomber Eggs so new players can get into it easier. - Very Low Quality setting added (this has no shadows and lowers a few textures even further) - Aut…

Hello eggs! I'm back! Over the last few days I've uploaded lots of little updates and patches. Now comes the part where I try to remember what I did.

- Lots of little updates! - 23 July 2018
Hello Eggs! This week I will be getting the final things prepared for my wedding which is on Saturday and then I'll be away for a couple of weeks after that. I wanted to get a load of things added / fixed before I go away so I've been uploading lots of little updates most days. Here's a list of the things that have changed: 20th July - Capturing / Defending range for the bases has been increased so you can capture from further away. - Capturing / Defending bases is slightly slower. - Player gets Cracks for self destructing as a bomber (finally) - Player gets Cracks for hitting enemies with artillery (way too OP) 21st July - Put the option to change class during a match back in (Sorry I took that out, that was silly) - Artillery Crew class added! (Only these guys can use the turrets because they're a easy way of getting free Cracks) - Scout has been nerfed slightly - Heavy cannot be dest…

Hello Eggs! Time to update you on the latest updates! Egg Upgrades! https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F32752932%2F54b67967ef76ca2e2d820bf0e6b299e46b4cc3c9.png You can get upgrade points and completely customise your egg! In the next few updates I will be adding more perks and a system where you can paint your egg. There's a lot I'd like to do with this new upgrade / customising feature! Gold Gold is earned from completing missions or by getting a Victory on a Random Challenge (Random Challenges are unlocked after level 8) Other updates - Health only regenerates when near a friendly spawn base. - Raised the bridge between the two tables in Kitchen. - Raised one of the Bad Egg spawn bases slightly in Kitchen. - You can now GET INSIDE THE MUGS in Kitchen. - New map "Bridge" which is currently a work in progress.
- Recent updates, additions and fixes - 5 July 2018
Howdy Eggs! You may or may not have noticed a few new things in Eggs 1942. Levels The biggest recent addition to Eggs 1942 is the introduction to player levels and the XP system. This is still very much in the early stages and will be added to, tweaked and fiddled. Most of the Missions and Egg Classes are locked for lower level players. How do I get XP? I'm glad you asked! Currently the main source of XP comes from the number of enemy eggs you've cracked. If you win a match then the number of cracked eggs gets doubled and added to your current XP. You also get bonus XP if you're playing a Mission - the harder the mission, the more points you get. Oh! Almost forgot. You get XP from capturing and defending spawn bases. New "end of mission" screen! When you finish a match there's a new screen which tells you how many eggs you cracked and how much XP you've earned. https://steamcdn-a.akamai…
- Steam Achievements, Combos and more! - 30 June 2018
Hello eggs! Just a quick update this time. Steam Achievements - Every episode completed from the Missions list will award you an achievement. - Getting certain amounts of cracks gives you achievements. - I'm planning on adding more Steam achievements soon. Combos - Cracking a few Bad Eggs in a short amount of time will give you a combo. - In a later update combos will activate special abilities. Fixes - When you get cracked while capturing an enemy base you no longer carry on to capture it from beyond the eggy grave. - There was one music track that YouTube didn't like people using - that's gone now. - The final mission for The Battle for Egg Island is now LESS impossible. - The first mission for Saving Private Egg is now a little bit harder. - The second mission for Saving Private Egg is now on the new Trenches map. - On "Trenches" map there is a new trench linking the two blue startin…

- Capturing Bases and Controller Update - 2 June 2018
Hello again! I've done a quick (but temporary) fix for the capturing bases issue! In this latest update the player will be able to capture neutral (white) bases and turn enemy bases blue. This is only temporary because the way bases will be captured and defended is being completely overhauled for a future update. Stay tuned for a much better base capturing experience! This update also has a few controller improvements / bug fixes. - Changing and selecting a different class now works with an Xbox / Windows controller. - If the reinforcements are ready then you can respawn instantly by selecting a class from the list. - A "deadzone" added to the right stick to stop the automatic spinning that occurred when not touching the stick. I'm still working on getting the menus to all work with a controller but this should mean you have a much better combat experience for the time being. Enjoy the…

Bug Fixes! We've squashed a few bugs! Mainly ones that occurred when Reverse Mode was turned on. Fixed: - On some maps, with Reverse Mode on, The Bad Eggs will have 0 bases. - With Reverse Mode on and Conquest Mode on (Defending) The Bad Eggs will start with all the neutral bases. - Timer during Conquest Mode fixed.
- Partial Controller Support added! - 1 June 2018
Good morning! Today we added partial controller support to Eggs 1942. We're just testing to see how the game feels using a Windows / Xbox controller. Currently you can only use the controller for combat - menus will still require a mouse and keyboard. For controller controls see the "How to Play" menu. If you come across any bugs related to the controller input then please let us know!
- Update! Egg Classes and New Map! - 28 May 2018
Hello eggs! This update contains many things! Mainly Egg Classes and a brand new map. What are egg classes? I'm glad you asked! Each Class has different skills and abilities. There are currently 3 different Classes in Eggs 1942 - I have plans to add more soon. Scout Egg The scout egg can move fast and jump high. When moving fast you will take no damage! Bomber Egg The bomber egg can self destruct causing damage to nearby eggs. Health does not regenerate! Heavy Egg The heavy egg cannot sprint or jump very high but is larger and takes less damage from impact! The AI and player can both spawn as each of these classes. What about this new map? It's called Arena and is an... arena! It has fire, an egg audience, more fire, quite small, flat, some fire, eggs and fire! Anything else? Yes! Here's a list of some other new things / fixes. Getting hit by bombs falling from planes now damages eggs!…
