@bnmootrxv @Steven695348074 Not comfortable giving an ETA because too many workstreams are going on to make an appropriate ETA, one thing is for sure: production is going well across the whole company

@Simon_Hypixel @Steven695348074 Simon, can we please just get a hint at how long we have to wait? Just for setting some expectations (weeks, months, etc)

@Steven695348074 depends on what you consider content, but the bigger piece will be chapter 1 in terms of "new stuff", and then it will rapidly accelerate as we get closer to release and have less foundation work / rewrites to do

@Curious_one313 Lots of the team on Mac/Linux nowadays, so it's a big motivator - personally, I haven't used my Windows PC in over a month.
English

@Simon_Hypixel Wow, finally official Linux support for the node editor ;]
Excited about this one.

@JoaoVictro11 yeah it will take a while ngl, lots of foundation work before we get to proper magic systems
English

@Simon_Hypixel Simon, vai demorar pra vim as atualizações de magia? tipo novos feitiços, add mama nos nossos personagens, magia elementais, encantamentos, rumas, feitos etc.......

@Simon_Hypixel I bought the game becuase you said there would be controller support, yet it's still not in. I understand other things need done, but it shouldn't have been said that there would be controller support "shortly after launch" if it wasn't true

Next up for Hytale: friend lists and server discovery!
Friend lists are coming to pre-release this week: you'll be able to see when your friends are online, jump into their world, invite them, or join the server they're playing on.
A few days later, we'll open applications for servers to be listed in a new in-game server browser. It's been about 3 months, and some great community servers have already come together nicely! FYI, we've been working on the server's performance and will keep at it, but now feels like the right time to start letting players find these servers in-game! A blog post is coming that will lay out how server discovery will work going forward.
Note that update 5 isn't a big gameplay content drop, but there's a lot happening under the hood. We're deep in engine work, performance, overhauling crafting and progression, and part of the team is also working on our first major content update, Chapter 1. And there's a lot of cool stuff we're working on beyond these updates. We'll share more in the coming weeks!
As a sidenote, the team is growing, and we will be hiring a lot in the coming months! We have a lot of work to do for years to come. BTW, the next wave of hires is going to heavily focus on adventure content: World Gen / NPC / Dungeons, and so on. Lots to do before the game leaves early access!

Still planning to contact a few people this month!
It didn't really shift; it's still happening before and after the contest, but I know some people are saving their best work for the end of the contest, so I'm holding back a bit on the bigger hiring push.
As for the job posting, it might just be as simple as a post here to send me your best work for me to look at!
English

@Simon_Hypixel Did the hiring shift, and is it gonna be prone to shifting more too in the future? I faintly recall Wgen being mentioned to start job interviews in april, and job listings posted once closer to april, shortly after the contest was announced. 🤔
English

@CreeperTV_11 in the future, its the thing Im most excited about but gotta do the "boring" work first D:
English

@Simon_Hypixel when are you going to start adding real bosses and bossfights?
English

@TheEnderNinja Literally 5 minutes ago, I was thinking about this!
Will drop some teasers in the coming weeks for sure :)
English

@Simon_Hypixel Pre-Acq you used to drop hints/puzzles and be mysterious and I think it brought the community together even more as we would work together to brain storm/solve puzzles -- any chance you can do some hints/puzzles/teasers leading up to Chapter 1? (When it's closer to being ready)

@Simon_Hypixel @FRareDomm @Hashi13914152 @not_mynes have you considered making the fog look more realistic? depth perception is kind of nonexistent with the current iteration and harms the atmosphere and sense of scale in my opinion

They weren't lying when they said world gen V2 was revolutionary
