We did it. Hytale is saved. We have acquired Hytale from Riot Games.

@darlak97 yeah it will get better 100%

@Simon_Hypixel I ❤️ it, there’s a lot of potential with the Trigger Volumes. It reminds me of how I make maps in ARMA 3. 🫠 Are there any plans to improve block movement? As shown in the video, it works by replacing blocks every X ticks, but it doesnt give a good game feel. (I havent tried it.)

Fun Hytale update for map makers! Trigger volume tool is a big step forward (watch the video!). This is what I dreamed of back in 2012 when I created Herobrine Mansion. Also community server discovery is slowly getting deployed, we should start seeing some very interesting MMO/Minigames servers in the coming months :)

@shygars @EdilanTV All of tools we make for dungeons / boss etc will be shared with the community

@Simon_Hypixel @EdilanTV This is so nice! Will there be more features made for map making in the future ? Would be insane to have tools to make in-game cutscenes, kinda like adventurecraft. After all we already have the machinima tools 😆

@itsApalo These same tools are what we make the game with, all of this gives us big production velocity for the future, just gotta be patient the chapters are coming The engine we got was 4-5 years old so yeah, lots of work to do before we move forward

@Simon_Hypixel Please if anyone would like to comment to my statement please do, I just wanna be open and honest. I fell in love with Hytale the moment I played it sadly I haven’t played in months. I feel the Hytale team prioritized modders so it doesn’t appeal to casual players like myself

@aimygwen Can you share more details? Most likely will still be like that for release today but if its truly an intended bug on our end it will be scheduled for fix

Right; How it should look like. Left: How it looks like in the new update.

So uhm, I was hoping that anyone here has a solution for this. It seems that the latest update changed something that broke half of my items in my mod. Mainly around cosmetics and animated blocks. What is going on there? @HytaleModding @Hytale

Final version of the second worldgen challenge, now with prefabs and more particles. Very similar to before but with more details. #Hytale #HytaleModding

@SaresKareru Whats your ticket # on support?

@Simon_Hypixel I lost access to my account even though I purchased it on the day of early access. Don't tell me to contact support team, the support team is awful and I already contacted them... ON THE 7TH OF THIS MONTH. So... how can we solve this?

@rayvngamez @Hytale Contact support support.hytale.com/hc/en-us

@Simon_Hypixel @Hytale can you please help I've lost access to hytale. I sign in with my discord but it won't let anymore and says my account already exists. I tried resetting my password but that didn't help. Please help. It's been a month! I can provide proof of purchase!

@Scyushi Especially when paired with great talent!!

Holy shit world Gen 2 is insane

@rembutquaglet I got an idea

you’ve gotta be kidding me

@Canion08 Amazing! GG

Second worldgen challenge. This is the first version made without prefabs, Tomorrow i'm adding prefabs #Hytale #HytaleModding

I kinda like the direct communication with the players for now. I'm also working on a YouTube thing, but it's a bit distracting for now. I will eventually take care of it, though. I don't want to hire too many people that are not directly working on the game just yet, the primary goal right now is to make a good game, so any side quests is a distraction to some degree. We got great YouTubers doing it for now :)

@Simon_Hypixel @Kaupenjoe Woild you be willing to hire a production team to further your communication on the game ? Cause right now it's mostly big text and patch note on twitter when communicating via youtube with video would find more people and be easier to understand than a bit text dump

More and more of our focus is now going into making new gameplay content for Hytale. Very exciting times ahead! There's still a lot of groundwork to push through, but we're moving fast. The updates we've shipped so far have mostly been about getting the foundation in shape so we can actually build content on top of it without falling into a tech debt trap. As a quick reminder, we had only a few weeks between acquiring Hytale and shipping it. In that window, we had to build a new launcher / website / many backend services, plus a lot of engine and gameplay catch-up, on a codebase that was already a few years out of date in many areas. We promised to deliver as fast as possible, and we did, but that meant the early post-launch updates had to be catch-up work rather than huge content drops. The next step is to put ourselves in a position to roll out content updates for the chapters at a rapid cadence. As an example, some of the team have been on accessibility / controller support / localization, and so on. That kind of work easily takes a few weeks per area, and those devs are now moving to gameplay. Same story with the movement rewrite: that was needed to properly set up future things like mounts / boats / anti-cheat, and plenty more. Most of this is invisible to players day to day, but it's much better to land early than to retrofit later. I know a lot of what you're seeing right now is creative tools, modding, and so on. Note that we use those tools ourselves too, so every step forward there improves our workflow as well. Part of the team is also deep in Chapter 1 right now. That first chapter is going to take some time because so many of the pieces around it are still being put in place, but once we hit the rhythm of chapters, the cadence will start picking up fast. That's the part I'm most looking forward to. The goal is that by the time we reach Chapter 3 we'll be at a really good pace. We're hiring across many areas to support this content push, as you might have seen. Lots to do, but this is the stretch I've been waiting for! We have the funds, the team, and the community. All we need now is some time to cook!

@NinjaSlime5 Goblins are watching, better be quiet

@Simon_Hypixel What are your thoughts on doing a gameplay Q&A or would you want everything to be a surprise?

@modifold Thanks! Honestly, the health side has been the hardest thing to keep on top of through all this. Had an appointment this morning, and I'm working on getting things back on track. Appreciate you looking out!

@Simon_Hypixel Simon, you and your team have done a great job. I’m really happy to see something new appearing in the game every week. Don’t forget to take care of your health :)

@groompski In pre-release, which goes to release on Tuesday, May 26

@Simon_Hypixel Where's controller support

@JeremyJeracraft Look what I found while watching old Hypixel map trailers!

An old screenshot... God how times change, wish I could go back and do it all again 🙏

@TheCyberSlade @Hytale @Hypixel Amazing! Keep going!

Thanks to @Hytale ,@Hypixel and @Simon_Hypixel , for making possible one of my dreams... The Asset Editor is not a perfect tool, but this is what you can make with zero experience in coding and animation. Just A LOT of passion. Still..a lot of VFX to be done... NOT FINISHED.

@Harryson1231 Great work! I hope you applied or will apply to join us :o

Little few hour world gen project I did yesterday trying to replicate the concept @Simon_Hypixel sent. Can be improved by a lot, but for a few hours I am actually pretty happy with how it turned out! #Hytale #HytaleModding

@OforOMan Yeah not sure what happened to our rendering during these years but will get fixed up

@Simon_Hypixel crazy how that sky looks way better because its way less saturated haha

Hytale in 2016, 30+ old screenshots from early development 🧵
