My first WorldgenV2 biome, bubbles! I had a vision of a bubbling world filled with magic that would light up at night, and I think I can finally say I brought it to life! After experimenting with different techniques and nodes to shape this biome and layering in details whenever a new idea popped up, It really feels like anything you can imagine is possible. Very excited to create more and watch the node editor evolve in the future! #Hytale #HytaleModding

@plstcfntstc @RedNomster @slikey What’s the worldgen discord? Got a link?

@RedNomster @slikey Come to the worldgen discord, that's how i learned a lot!

Our quest to make procedural generation fun seems to succeed :)

@Arrinity @codez333 Pretty sure it was a newly added tick box parameter to the material provider node that allows you to flip it to an axis before placing. Was not possible a few updates ago

@codez333 Omg how did you get the stalactites to flip upside down? I tried this in the very early days and made a mess because i couldt flip props only prefabs!

Lush swampish caves! Got the decorations for the caves done! Super happy with the stalactites always being above stalagmites and sometimes making columns just like real life 🤩 #Hytale #HytaleModding

@LucentAzxiar @slikey Ouuh right true that, the showcase couldn’t had been done without 2! Good job to both of you 😄

@ChronoTokitoki @slikey Same lol, though my perspective might have been a little different😉

If you don't want to test pre-release yourself: Here is a video of the proximity voice chat: youtube.com/watch?v=4VoE_y…

@OrbisMMO @moneybucks Can’t say I have, damn that’s disappointing 💀

@ChronoTokitoki @moneybucks Block games don’t really work in VR. You ever try Minecraft VR? 🤢🤢🤮

Introducing OrbisMMO, a handcrafted MMORPG for #Hytale! Over the last two months, we've been building custom combat, classes, and story-driven questlines that you can enjoy solo or with friends! This is a brand new trailer showcasing our work. Launching March 10th at 2pm PDT!

@OrbisMMO @moneybucks Come to think of it, if Hytale becomes VR compatible the the mmos like Orbis are going to be crazy

@OrbisMMO @moneybucks Zenith had so much potential 😭 Now I’ve got my eyes on Asteria, which is still a WIP but already looks much better

The fact that you hire directly from the community is so respectable and exciting. I fully agree with this vision, and it’s honestly a bit sad that more studios don’t embrace it the way you have with Hytale. The talent and passion that will come from such an amazing community will definitely make Hytale one of the most beloved forever games out there. I can’t wait to see how Hytale grows over the next few years 💙

I want to explain clearly why we’re pushing modding so hard in Hytale. It’s not because we expect modders to carry the game for us. It’s because I believe the modding community is going to be one of the foundations for where we take Hytale next. This contest is part of that. I want to put modders front and center. I want people making incredible worlds, NPCs, systems, and experiences to be recognized, celebrated, and rewarded. Think esports, but for modders. There’s another reason I care so much about this: we hire from the community. Over the last few months, most of the people we’ve brought onto the team (now over 70) have been people we already knew, respected, and saw building amazing things, especially in the modding community. We’re not trying to build some giant corporate machine with layers of people giving orders. We’re building a scrappy, agile team full of people who actually make things. That matters to me a lot. Everyone here is expected to touch the game. Even people in leadership. Even me. I pushed a small visual fix myself yesterday. I’m in the game constantly, and if I see something wrong, I either fix it or make sure it gets worked on. That’s the culture I want around Hytale: close to the work, close to the game, close to the community. On a personal level, I care about this because I genuinely love making games. Getting Hytale back lit that fire in me again. It’s stressful, sure, but it’s good stress. The kind that comes from building something you believe in. The truth is that building for modding makes development harder. A feature that would be simple in another game often becomes much more complex for us because we have to ask: how can creators use this too? How do we expose it in the right way? How do we make sure it becomes a building block, not just a one-off feature? That work costs us time in the short term. I know that. But I believe it pays off in a big way later, because every good system we build can become a hundred great creations from the community. And when someone in the community makes something exceptional, that creates a real bridge. Maybe we can collaborate. Maybe we can learn from it. Maybe we hire them. If somebody makes an incredible fishing mod before we’ve even tackled fishing ourselves, I don’t see that as a threat. I see talent. I see proof that the ecosystem is working. That’s why I’m pushing for this so hard. Not because modding replaces the studio, but because it makes the game bigger than the studio. It helps us discover talent. It helps us build better in the long run. It keeps us connected to the people who care the most. If we do this right, modding won’t just be a feature of Hytale. It will be one of the strongest foundations for its future. This is just the beginning. We are still in early access.

@breadleyishere @KMoD_One Terrain looks sick keep it up!

it's still terrible but we're progressing

@Prowl8413 @OctrDev My favourite trees in the game yet, I wonder how rare they are compared to the golden Sallow tree

The Spiral tree's are some of the more rare, and most beautiful things you can find in Hytale!

@MedianiSamuel Oh okay! Maybe I overdid it with the diagonals then 😂 Thank you!

@ChronoTokitoki Thanks! I think I used the same method as yours, 2 offsets for the gap checks, for X & Y directions separately (no diagonals). I didn't notice huge performance differences but maybe because my biome was already a bit slow 😂 but I'll let you know if I find a more performant way!

Working on procedural bridge placement across floating islands, and some other stuff 👀 #Hytale #HytaleModding

@Kirschdieb Damn I wish I was that good in blender lol, looks sick!

For this one I used a new workflow utilising a bit of my blender skills: 1. generating a reference Image with a promt describing a spiral fantasy tree 2. modelling the base shape in blender 3. importing the model into Hytale 4. refining and texturing the tree in CreativeMode 5. adding Crystals with a simular process

wip tree #Hytale

@Olegro_ @Mcc_Cal_ Oh awesome!! I’m glad it works, your terrain reminds me of the windows xp background lol I love it

@ChronoTokitoki @Mcc_Cal_ Thank you very much. Actually, another mistake I made was that even though I used Soil_Grass_Sunny, it was because I set the ground to Soil_Grass. ❤️

Hytale WorldGen V2 Journey [Day 2] I made a monster out of the mountain (It was a coincidence, haha) - I partially understand MaterialProvider. (i guess) - I need to properly control the values on the Terrain and test what I can do with Curve. - I'm not very familiar with Density settings and need to learn how to use them. - I have no idea how to use props. - I need to fully understand the role of the Asset Editor in World Gen 2. This will allow me to control prefabs more freely.

@slikey @KMoD_One We got one of the coolest devs on the team damn! Congrats and stay safe!

After missing my last physical exam to certify for SCBA due to Hytale: I finally got the chance to repeat and now I am back on duty 🚒

@Olegro_ @Mcc_Cal_ Hey! Your floor pattern has an issue, the origin should be checking for air. The documentation explains it a little bit better with images. Origin is where the prop would spawn, and the floor is the block it checks under to spawn on. I think it should work after that!

@Mcc_Cal_ I looked at the sources, but for some reason, even if I apply the same ones, they don't appear on the world.

@Purrfectionist2 Looking forward to seeing your talent in action again! Good luck!

Perfect timing! I have been feeling a lot better the past few days. I'm going to try my best! I have an idea that's pretty cool. I'm not really sure if I can figure out everything, but I know where I excel and I'll do my best for that part!

@Olegro_ We’ve all been there lmao, good luck on your journey, it’s a ton of fun!

Hytale WorldGen V2 Journey [Day 1] I accidentally destroyed the world

@MewSoul The animations are so clean :O

Emotes are coming to Hytale with this week's pre-release update, including easy mod support! Here's the mod structure to add emotes to the game: - Place your emote animation (.blockyanim) in Common\Characters\Animations\Emote\ - Place your emote icon (.png) in Common\Icons\Emotes\ - Create your emote config (.json) in Server\Emote\ (replace "MyEmoteName" with the name of your new emote) An emote config looks like the following: { "Animation": "Characters/Animations/Emote/MyEmoteName.blockyanim", "Name": "My Emote Name", "Icon": "Icons/Emotes/MyEmoteName.png", "IsLooping": true } With that done, you'll now be able to see your emotes in-game! In the future, we'll improve the emote wheel so you can customize it.
