@HytaleModding x.com/i/status/20489… I made this beautiful world!

The Hytale New Worlds Modding Contest has ended! What did you submit?

The mod can now be downloaded at curseforge.com/hytale/mods/ve…! Happy exploring!

I just submitted my entry to the Hytale New Worlds modding contest! It was put together in only 4 days, but I am still super happy with the results! The mod will be available on CurseForge soon! #Hytale #HytaleModding

@Simon_Hypixel What is the best way to get on your radar if you aren't going to be able to submit to the contest?

Excited to see the winners on this one! As I've mentioned before, we'll be watching closely for hiring purposes. In the coming weeks, we'll review every mod that did well and reach out to creators to see if they are interested in joining us! We're actively looking for great world designers, NPC devs, gameplay engineers, and more, so this contest lines up perfectly for the community and for us. My plan for growing the Hytale team is to mostly hire from the community. If you're a modder, your chances are high. It's that simple. I don't really care about your degrees, and I don't care if you worked at a triple-A studio or not. I care about the work, the craft, and the passion. And being a Hytale modder specifically means a lot: it shows you already understand the game's vision and potential, which is a big plus. BTW, we're also deep on the in-game modding browser and hope to have something out in the coming months, so players can try any of these mods with a simple 1-click install! A lot of modding compatibility work is landing alongside it, for both modders and players. Shared source, better versioning, documentation, improvements, and much more. On top of that, with the upcoming friend and server lists, everything is shaping up to be a great platform for easily sharing mods/worlds with friends! And while all of that is going on, a large part of the team is still working on engine changes, rendering, adventure mode, bug fixes, and so on. A lot is happening in the background. A rework at this scale takes time, but production is going very well; it's even hard to keep track! I'll probably put out a bigger vision post soon, now that we've brought some key people onto the team in the past few weeks, so you can see where we're going with all of this!

@RedstoneEngine0 Did you need to make any custom nodes for the Node Editor for this? Looks great!

Took a break from Wormhole Ascent to try out some Mountain Erosion studies in Hytale! The results look stunning and with ysampled loads quite quickly! Would love to use this system for rivers and as a part of a whole Natural Terrain Assetpack! #Hytale #HytaleModding #WorldGenV2

@Prowl8413 I have mostly been working on developing tech for my Worldgen Additions mod rather than making biomes/worlds, but I have still gotten some really nice results!

I'm prepping to start looking at some Worldgen V2 worlds I was sent... only got them from 2 people. Anybody else doing cool things in V2 they want to show off??? #hytale

@AhrenDAxel Thank you!

@ItsVerday best looking mountains iv seen in hytale by far

Would you explore these mountains? #hytale #hytalemodding

@ReeskShrider Unfortunately these are not part of an upcoming mod at this time, this was more of an experiment/learning opportunity than something I intended to release in its current form. I definitely want to improve upon these techniques and use them in a mod for the future, though!

@ItsVerday Yes, I would! What is the name of the mod?!

I've done some improvements to the Erosion filter from my last tweet, and I experimented around with painting the landscape with different stone types and snow here.

@Curious_one313 @runevision Yes, everything I've done in terms of custom node modding is open source on my GitHub: github.com/ItsVerday/Hyta…

@ItsVerday @runevision I'd love to see how it works. Any chance you'll be sharing this info?

I implemented a custom Erosion Filter node for Hytale's Worldgen v2! It takes an existing terrain heightmap and adds this erosion effect onto it. Based on work by @runevision and others.

@Curious_one313 @runevision Yes, I created a custom node for the Asset Node Editor that applies the erosion filter

@ItsVerday @runevision Are you saying that you created additional tool like this? x.com/80Level/status…

I've spent the past ~2 months diving deep into modding Hytale's Worldgen v2 engine, among other things. It's a really powerful system, and it can produce amazing results like this.

Here is some terrain for these plateaus, with these stepped badlands-like cliffs to transition into the wastelands. I love how this terrain has turned out, especially the cliffs! #Hytale #HytaleModding

I've added terrain to this Wastelands biome now! I tried something new, adding these spike features around the biome, and I think they turned out wonderfully! Now onto the Cliffs/Plateau biomes in this world. #Hytale #HytaleModding

I'm starting work on a world inspired by Zone 2! Starting out by mapping out the biomes and getting the terrain laid out. Here are some Desert/Desert Hills areas! #Hytale #HytaleModding

I've decided to call this World the Jungle Highlands! I'm very happy with how this project has turned out, I think I learned a lot of new techniques here, and it's helped me figure out my workflow when creating with Worldgen v2! (More pictures in thread) #Hytale #HytaleModding
