Hytale

@Simon_Hypixel @breadleyishere @Alien37680 @GhoulishhGF @Simon_Hypixel in your mind, do you have an approximate idea of how often you would like to release chapters?

@breadleyishere @Alien37680 @GhoulishhGF I think Chapter 3 will blow people mind if we can get the tech in time :)

I really hope Hytale gives me a reason to hop back into it soon. It seems incredibly promising but I'm doing my best to kind of just forget about its existence until some big news comes out.

@Simon_Hypixel @kecksbe @LmjOkik87011 @gs_strawberry @Chayzur @Simon_Hypixel in terms of chapter 1, we will start to see a piece of the new progression system, and potentially what the future of gear and rewards from dungeons could look like?

@kecksbe @LmjOkik87011 @gs_strawberry @Chayzur Of course, I'm a big WoW/PoE player and designed many features in the past with such systems! Just gotta be patient.

everytime i see simon talk about world gen 2, and ever since that blog post, i go through the exciting future of Hytale in my head. once world gen 2 rolls out, imo, that is the true beginning of #Hytale. i cannot formulate into words how excited i am for that. I think the core community knows how big it will be, but i really don’t think most people are ready for what the game will become once it’s out. call me an overhyper all you want, but just with the additions of the friends list, prox chat, and server browser, you are watching this game swiftly evolve in real time. World gen v2 will bring the addition of many desired features in their peak form. it enables true boundless creativity, not only from the developer standpoint of being able to create and place new prefabs in the vast terrain and allows for the world to breathe new immersive life and so much more, but it also allows the player to express themselves even more by building in the new environment and traverse the world while scaling the new elevations and views. mountains will be grander, the fields will be more full of life, all with the additions of new prefabs and bits and pieces of the story that will slowly unfold alongside world gen v2. and its crazy to think that despite the fact that wg v2 might seem far away, we will continue to get even more features to fill Hytale until it’s ready. the game continues to get more content, more stuff to do, more to experience, all in prep for wg v2. this could be small general quests, more animal interactions, more ambient features, etc. and reminder, once Hytale is in 1.0, we will then most likely start to see the development of the Capital. new servers will arise alongside, and Hytale will undoubtedly reach new player peaks. i know im not the only one that sees this. there will be a point in time where we have to decide between playing adventure mode, creative, mods, the capital, or other Hytale servers. the value here is unbelievable! go rewatch the trailer for the 1000th time. remind yourself of what Hytale is, and what it will be. that trailer is the starting point of 1.0 and wg v2. it is super hype to think about getting all of the stuff i just talked about with the release of 1.0, but we cant even begin to imagine what's in store AFTER that. the @Hytale team are such a gem and are genuinely my favorite game devs of all time! get hyped for now and the future!

@Simon_Hypixel @Simon_Hypixel I am fully looking forward to the blocks tomorrow! I know I and many others are wondering about content for the game, and while I am fully supporting building the base for the game with small fixes, I think we are wondering what chapter 1 could bring. Thanks!

Lots of new blocks coming to Hytale in tomorrow's pre-release 👀

@Harryson1231 @Hytale Do you plan on adding custom content like dungeons, mobs, and items to these biomes?

Been hard at work over the last couple of weeks. This is my project for the @Hytale modding contest, called Unknown Worlds. A mod that will feature several alien planet biomes. This is the first biome: #Hytale #HytaleModding

@OrbisMMO This server looks awesome! I am just wondering, do you plan on implementing your own custom mobs and assets in the future?

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!

CALLING ALL MODDERS: Here’s your chance to win up to $10,000 for your Hytale mods! The Hytale New Worlds Modding Contest starts NOW, with $100k in total prizes spread across 65 winners🔥 Compete in the contest’s three different categories - Worldgen V2, NPCs, and Experiences - for a chance to win big and bring amazing new mods to Hytale.

We're launching our first official Hytale modding contest with $100,000 in total prizes! But this isn't just a contest. This is the start of something much bigger. My vision for Hytale has always been that modders should be celebrated, not sidelined. The people who pour their creativity into pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the game deserve to be front and center. They deserve to be rewarded. Think of it like esports, but for modders. We want to build an ecosystem where talent rises to the top, where the community recognizes and elevates the people making incredible things. This contest is the first step. There will be many more. For this first contest, we chose World Gen V2 and NPC as two of our three categories very intentionally. These are areas where we know extraordinary talent exists, and honestly, we're scouting. If you blow us away, don't be surprised if we reach out. We want the best modders in the world working alongside us. And looking ahead: over the coming months, we'll be rolling out more modding tools, an in-game mod browser, and a lot more. We're also thinking deeply about how players can directly reward the modders they love, without turning the game into a shopping mall. It should be fair for players and meaningful for creators. This is just the beginning.

@Simon_Hypixel @Simon_Hypixel I was just wondering, what is your current plan with Zone 5? Do you plan on releasing it with the World Gen V2 update, as part of a chapter, or its own update? Thanks!

@Simon_Hypixel @Simon_Hypixel Do you think in the future there will be armour pieces that will give the user active abilities? Like double jump boots, or when you have a set on and press a keybind, you shoot a projectile of some kind? Could provide more gameplay options for armour.

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!

@Simon_Hypixel @Simon_Hypixel I really love how you are implementing new magic into the game! Do you think we will see more of this type of content in the next few updates?

Please help us test and report bugs (in-game or reply here if you find something major)! If all goes well, we will update everyone on Friday or Saturday! Update 3 is already in the works, and we are planning a longer pre-release period to give modders and servers time to catch up and update. As more and more modders and servers create content, we want to make our updates more predictable to maintain stability across the ecosystem.

@Simon_Hypixel @HeyStani Is progression and items something you plan to focus on for the next updates? @Simon_Hypixel

@HeyStani We got some fun ideas about Mithril… let’s say it wont be as simple to mine as the others!

Hytale Endgame und Max Rüstung erreicht 🥳 hat mega spaß gemacht. Freue mich auf mehr Endgame Content und Mythil

@Simon_Hypixel @chippygamingyt Loot is such a big thing, I really want to see it updated and added! @Simon_Hypixel will this come in the form of adding new mob drops, adding the weapons/armour from the creative inventory into vanilla, or making entirely new loot and items? Thanks!

@chippygamingyt Proper boss fights will take a bit of time, need to polish the living world / npc / loot / ores distribution / QoL first I really want to do boss fights ASAP, but I have to hold myself

my dream update 2 would focus on chest loot, player equipment and a boss what would you add to Hytale right now?
