Hytale foundation work is going really well, and we're shipping updates at a high rate! Early access is exactly the kind of development I enjoy: move fast, break things, iterate. This is way more fun than I expected! Needless to say, it was a very good investment to save Hytale.
FYI, we've got a hiring push coming after the contest wraps up, and you can expect updates to come even faster in the months ahead. The team will be about 100 members, with very few management/producer roles. Organized chaos.
Once the foundation is further along, we'll be moving into dungeons, boss fights, progression, and a ton of exciting content. We have a ton of surprises in the works that have never been done in any sandbox/survival games! Hard engineering challenges ahead ;)

What small features or quality-of-life improvements would you like us to add to Hytale in the short term?
I already have a massive list from the in-game feedback button, Discord, Reddit, YouTube, and other social platforms, so we are not running out of things to do!
That said, I am curious to see what you think should be the highest priority!
