Events

**Events** are special occasions within or outside of the game.

## Description

Events are temporary updates that happen periodically. They can be Season Events, happening once per season, or Special Events, which happen periodically or in fixed dates. They usually contain new enemies, outfits, and pets.

## Season Events

### Spring

The Spring event, which also serves as the Easter event, consists of the Egg Hunt of Dr. Moreau. During the period between the begining of April and the beginning of May, Frobbit Eggs will spawn randomly in Caves and can be destroyed, spawning a Frobbit, a Behemoth Frobbit, or rarely an Event Hat or Skin.

### Summer

The summer event, or "The Wrath of the Sun God", follows the awakening of the Aztec Sun God, which results in the awakening of it's followers, which lie in Aztec Caskets scattered across the Living Infinite. Between the period of the beginning of June to the beginning of July, players can encounter Aztec caskets and open them, spawning either an Aztec Mummy or rarely an Aztec headwear.

### Fall

The Fall event, which also serves as the Halloween event, is called the "Heads of the Horseman" Fall event. During the period between the begining of October to the beginning of November, Pumpkin Latchers will appear in the Living Infinite and pursue the player's Submarine until they die or latch onto it. If they manage to latch onto the Submarine, they will stick their roots inside the Submarine, which will have to be destroyed to kill the creature. However, as the roots are destroyed, they turn into Pumpkin Hatchlings, which will drop bombs when they die. However, rarely, instead of turning into a pumpkin bomb, they will instead drop one of 9 Event hats. There is also a chance for Pumpkin Hatchlings to drop the exclusive Slime Skin. Additionally, the Headless Horseman himself will sometimes appear inside the submarine, and if killed, it will usually drop a cosmetic of its own: its ragged outfit. Furthermore, victims of the Headless Horseman known as Settlers will appear in Caves. When killed they will almost always drop their special Event hat or Event suit.

### Winter

The Winter event, which also serves as the Christmas event, is called the "Gifts of the Sugarplum Fairies". During the period between the beginning of December and the beginning of January, Submarines will be randomly invaded by gift-bearing Sugarplum Fairies. This will spawn an unaggressive Sugarplum Fairy, as well as a Gift. The Gift can be destroyed, spawning either a Rabid Rat, their almighty Rat King counterpart, or, rarely, an Event Hat or Skin. Killing the Fairies does not affect the drops of the presents.

## Developer Streams

Developer Hangout Streams happen every Saturday from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm MST on their Twitch channel. They are almost always hosted by Nick Lives, the game's artist. He is usually accompanied by David Johnsen, one of the designers of the game's soundtrack. On occasion, Jordan Farr, the networking manager, will be present as well.

## Discontinued Events

Discontinued Events are classified as any sort of previous events that have not been reenacted in at least the past two years.

### The New Years' Games

The New Years' Games began on January 1st and consisted of various challenges given to the We Need to go Deeper community each week. After each week, the winners would be announced and would be gifted with copies of the game. This event lasted for 3 years and is notable for being the only major event that doesn't happen within the game.

### 1st April Fools

The 1st April Fools event begins, as its name suggests, on 1st April and generally appeared alongside the Spring Event. It consisted of a small update that will add some joke feature. Currently, the three 1st April Fools jokes were Henry the Beetle and its brethren, the Battle Royale "Mode" with Jumpscare Jerry and a fake update announcement about an artstyle change and a sneak peak to a fake new biome.

### Weekly Challenges

Weekly Challenges happened periodically and lasted for a week, as their name suggests. They were challenges given to the community, which were not necessary done in-game. If the community managed to complete it within the time limit, the developers would do what is detailed in the challenge as the reward for the challenge. This ranged from temporarily turning a boss into a cat to changing a developer's profile picture to the most ridiculous image the community uploads.
