[@mrjack3855]

Thank you for covering this game. Most write it off at this point because of how long it's been

[@JoshuaGanoTyraxLightning]

How long it's been? This Vid right here and now is the first i'm ever hearing of this game, but the fact it's been worked on so long sounds promising, not detrimental to me... that sounds to me like that means it's being done RIGHT, not Fast. :)

[@daridon2483]

​@@JoshuaGanoTyraxLightning You're lucky you heard of it late. It has been announced by 2018 and was planned to release much earlier, but they decided to make it multiplatform and started remaking the engine from scratch, basically resetting the whole dev process. We could have gotten it by around 2020-2021, but now even 2025 doesn't guarantee a release

[@JoshuaGanoTyraxLightning]

​@@thebaseandtriflingcreature174 one of reasons was that if otherworld would be developed, devs would need to stop updating normal Terraria (if i'm not wrong Red himself told that). So it became controversial, and both Relogic and Terraria players still wanted Terraria to have updates. So at the end they decided to stop working on otherworld, and continue updating Terraria.

Silksong ain’t coming out

[@PersonCalledErin]

My worry is that in every blogpost it always sounds like "we're finally getting started". Did they get a ton of setbacks? People including myself are concerned and upset because we have no idea where they are in development anymore. We cant tell if theyve just started making the game even remotely playable because of the engine move, how long will it take to move the tons and tons of assets over to the new engine? Will the game even look like their trailer by the end of the year? Or the end of next year. It really does feel like its never coming out and I want to get some confirmation of whether or not the trailer was even representative of what they had ready and playable at the time, or if it was even rendered in engine or was just a concept demo animated outside of engine... Was any of that real? Can we even expect to get what we saw? I've defended them on the fact that it does take a lot of time to develop a game, but that leaves the trailer like an anomaly that shouldn't have been out yet. I get moving to a new engine takes time, I get covid happened, I get they were hiring a new team. But we only have small and vaguely worded hints as to some small things they were working on over the course of a year or more... as though they hadn't been even developed until that point. The vague wording really doesn't help their case and reduces confidence in the idea that they even had any of their shown concepts developed properly. I'm hoping it's just a case of poor communication because they have all the assets and as soon as they transfer all of them and get them running they basically have their game at an alpha or beta state... but who knows at this point

[@headshothunt3r414]

i remember them saying they might have a beta back i 2019. makes me really wonder what happened behind the scenes

[@mikul2646]

I can see where you're coming from, but I do think you're overanalyzing a bit. Yes, you could definitely argue that they pulled the trigger on the trailer too early, but the trailers also generated enough hype to get the attention of Riot Games, which is probably the only reason they aren't shut down right now. I also strongly believe that what they've shown will reflect the final game. Things may shift slightly, as this game has taken a while and has hit a few bumps, but they continue to demonstrate that they are steadfast on their original vision, which is very respectable.

[@mohannedalmohandes4944]

They did say it will be functionally better than the legacy version at the end of this year (BIG emphasis on functionally), so while it might not look as good visually as the legacy version at the end of this year, it will have better performance, better mob AI's, and anything else that is about functionality.

[@anortherner]

I think the scope has just slowly become bigger. It seems like they want to release Hytale with day-one extensive support for a potential modding and mini-game oriented community. I think it's highly unlikely that they'd release Hytale 'unfinished' in scope. I, for one, am glad that they seem adamant on releasing a whole product, rather than throwing it out there for hype, and slowly patching it. It's what games like Cyberpunk: 2077 and No Man's Sky did, and the had to, over multiple years, re-gain the trust of their community. Granted, those games were sold under the false premise of a 'complete' game, when they were really products that needed at least a year of further patching. I'm tired of games studios thinking it's ok to sell us consumers a half-baked product with an empty promise of completing it 'in the future'.

[@lemoneyesalt5513]

I think that they are such a huge company that transparent communication when things are still just kinda plodding along and work in progress, is basically impossible due to people trying to cover their own ass. In a big company, you don't wanna be the guy who says, yeah were taking fucking ages and we postponed releasing the game because the execs saw we could earn a whole lot more money from this.

[@Satwr]

See you in 5 years where we get our first 5min open playtest and then another 5 years where they announce the game is coming out in 2 years and then they delay it 20x and then Riot closes the studio to invest everything they have into their first party MMO

You might not follow Hytale and just immediately assume that they are going to be aggressive with microtransactions and stuff, but as someone who does, the team really has a passion for the game and its community, in fact a lot of people working on the game are from the community

[@WrongsiderArts]

@N_Sgames Yeah, so? A game like this being free sounds fishy no matter who's behind it, especially if it's Riot.

[@bernadettavarley]

@@N_Sgames If a game is truly free it doesn't have the funding it needs, meaning very small or no updates. Passion is not enough to fund a game, that's what worries us... and the fact that they're owned by Riot games who are very greedy.

[@N_Sgames]

@@bernadettavarley Today, games that are free and sell cosmetics, are more profitable than paid games. Just look at the amount of money games like Fortnite or CS earn. And with the developers being passionate I mean that they will not completely scam you with microtransactions and leave the game. Riot is not that bad, at least for big game companies standard, I talked with some people that are in this industry and that personally know Riot games employees and they all said that the company is very good at making a lot of money while balancing the quality of the game. I don't really play Riot's games but when I played one the game was fun and didn't overwhelm me with microtransactions. But anyways have a good rest of your day.

[@bernadettavarley]

@@N_Sgames Things like selling cosmetics is exactly what worries people. People want this to me a completely customizable game, they're wanting it to be a Minecraft replacement. If there is sold content then there is content they are actively barring us from changing ourselves because if we could then why would we buy the microtransactions? If they rent out servers, or let people sell their on a market and take a cut then that would be fine, but basically any other form of microtransaction is just a bad idea for what they've marketed this game as, which is a Minecraft replacement like game.

[@FenHarapeco2]

I'm not angry, I just want to know. We waited 5 YEARS to be able to "see a gameplay" in like (i hope) 6 more months? They are gonna really realse gta VI before hytale

[@Andrew-zu4om]

I can’t wait for this game! It looks amazing and I think it actually might bring some nalstogia with it because its kinda like Minecraft! I like the smooth animations and the shield and weapons designs!

[@LukeloLuke]

Oh god i forgot this game lol

[@javiereduardoruiz1244]

They need to put total atention to the world generation. They dont need to give a hail lot of content on the release (and still they're giving it) but they need to care about players struggling to find everything we could find and explore. Empty biomes are a bit boring, we could get one or two without getting upset, cause we enjoy them to build. But things change when you're like "I have 12 hours playing and still dont find... something". Adding quests and points of interest on the surface helps a lot. Also they have to think on players that doesnt like to build, as some of us preffer to find structures and claim them as ours. Those couple of things are the only ones that are in my mind, they have quite covered the rest. And I know the game will keep updating after, so. Hope to see hytalers hytaling soon

[@Lt_Koro]

I think this looks amazing. I will probably start playing this when it comes out. I hope that if they make it f2p they keep microtransactions to cosmetics. It works very well for fortnite and prolly other games as well.

[@matalinoe4059]

Please don't be F2P. Please don't be F2P.

[@wizzscout959]

They were bought by Riot Games... and all of their games are F2P with no P2W aspects. But everyone has their own opinions.

[@ScoplerOfficial]

​@@wizzscout959It would be the other way around if Riot Games didn't buy Hypixel

[@N_Sgames]

F2p isn't a bad thing, the only downside is paid cosmetics. The f2p aspect doesn't really mean anything, I often hear people say that it will ruin the game. How does f2p ruin it? (I genuinely want to know)

[@madmantheepic7278]

@@wizzscout959 So they can charge 500$ for a skin? Not every game needs live service f2p bs like this, regardless of whether its P2W or not.

[@Armetar]

@@N_Sgames because if a game is F2P they need other ways of earning money than just selling a game since it's free and pretty much always the other ways of making money are predatory microtransactions or in-game ads. Even if they would be purely cosmetic I can't imagine paying for skins/texture packs like in minecraft bedrock edition not being awful

[@terra1748]

Tfw I just hear that the typical team was bought by riot 😢 my disappointment is immeasurable and it explains why I haven’t really heard on it in so long

[@N_Sgames]

Why though? Riot is just buying the team and not interfering with the development. I'd like to hear why it is so bad?

[@ItsAMaelstrom]

@@N_Sgames because people are idiots and don't actually think before they speak. Riot effectively is working as a publisher, and has given the hytale team massive backing since they see it as a massive success.People for some reason don't trust riot with f2p monetization even though they're leagues above any other company with f2p monetization. people are just stupid when they see "f2p"

[@HighEffortUsername]

​@@ItsAMaelstrom"leagues above any other company" ah yes a 500 dollar skin is truly "leagues above" others and not somehow worse than even mobile gacha games

[@JeloOW]

Woooo another Hytale video from Chippy 🐡🐡🐡

[@aluynen]

Didn't they.... say the same.... like 3 years ago? Like at this point, I doubt the game is real. Seen bigger, more ambitious titles with less funding get greenlit and fully released. A sandbox game like that unironically can't take that long.

[@ir6783]

I forget this game still existed tbh.

[@cavmotcreations]

I think they fucked up. As much as everyone hates a game that's released first and fixed later, it's been proven that it works to improve games of large scope, like this one. Even if they released the game a few years after its announcement, with a solid amount of features, but not a fully realized version of hytale, the hype still surrounding the game would have given them the players, feedback, and money that this game might have needed to become the perfect hytale. Now, it's a perfectionist bubble of development hell. The hype is gone for all but the most loyal fans, and even they are only believing in delayed promises after like 6 years.

[@BreeZaps]

The hype will return once they’re ready to release the game. They will put a new trailer out, like a release trailer, they will get youtubers to play it, the news will talk about it. Yes the hype is dead right now, but no way will it stay that way.

[@RealityRogue]

You’d be surprised to hear that a ton of games you enjoy were probably in development for 6 years prior 🤷‍♂️

[@realpatty]

​@@RealityRoguethey just fucked up talking about it soooo early and now their target audience at the beginning are full adults that don't really care

[@sebyking1889]

yeah i dont know why they released such a banger of a trailer, when they had no plans of releasing anytime near after that

[@BreeZaps]

Anthem 2.0 was cancelled and abandoned a long time ago, it's never coming out.
