I think it's cool that Hytale is gonna be a place people can make money for their creations but also I kind of don't love that. Java Minecraft Modding is done for free, Which means anyone can play with anything. Paid Mods just leaves a bad taste in my mouth, It's part of why I think Bedrock is so shit. I'm not against people making money, I think stuff like tips and patreons and such are good, but turning modding, or creation period, into a profit driven concept worries me slightly. All these references to Roblox as if Roblox isn't running an extremely predatory business model, I dunno if we should want something like that.

[@cosmic24wizard84]

Minecraft has just simply gone downhill or perhaps it's better to say plateau'd.

[@Conglomeration]

you dont care about predatory business models you just want free shit lol

[@Prinzherbert]

I'm sure most people are okay with creators making money for their quality mods and such, but it's actually such a slippery slope. There's a very likely possibility for something like that to devolve into people making low-quality stuff only for profit, instead of people making nice stuff because they like the game and getting rewarded for that. Minecraft mods are good because people make them out of passion for the game, not because they'll get money out of it. And those passionate people can easily be ran over by greedy people trying to make a quick buck, whenever there's an official marketplace in the game.

[@lassebrustad]

I totally understand you, that for a server hosted for friends, it kinda sucks to pay for mods (or server plugins), but as a developer myself, spending a lot of time developing something, might not be as motivational without being paid for it. I do, btw, think it's more motivating to get donations, rather than require a fixed amount of money, as donations truely means that people like the project, and doesn't pay because they have to hopefully, the best tools being developed for Hytale will be free, and accept donations thru Patreon, Paypal or any of other donation services, but I want the developers to not make it free if donations doesn't work out for their projects, as the time a developer spends developing, is in fact extremely valuable. a developer working for a company may have far better income than an average person, while developing stuff for a game may be the worst possible income they've ever had, even if it's a full-time project while not having a job sure, some developers don't care about writing code completely for free, I've done it myself, but in my case, I wrote cheat scripts for bad, text-based web-games, starting to write the code the minute I get bored by the game, just to make it "fun" again, then starting to share the code to a limited set of people, just in case there's a cheat detection within those games. never been detected, tho, I've even written a crazy cheat script for the web based Cookie Clicker, which doesn't trigger the "cheater" achievement, free script at Greasyfork, btw

I was so hyped for this game when they first showcased it. However unfortunately just because of the time waited the original trailer and attention is not going to return the same and people who are not following along nor care about game development or understand it, are going to follow this pattern: - Find out Hytale is releasing/has released. - Watch/Play/Stream the game. - Immediately judge it asking why did it take them so many years to produce what we saw in the trailer. - Focus on every little (or big) flaw/s of the game. - Bore of it, get mad with it and stop Playing/Watching/Streaming. The long wait HAS to pay of hugely with very little bugs and issues to save the game from the sinking period of years they have been developing this. Or it'll be a Cubeworld 2.0.

[@Moloxer]

​@@mistplayzop Brother don't compare this to Cubeworld. The dev behind that actually just made a horrible game that felt nothing like the prototype version people fell in love with.

It was a case of betraying the expectations of the community.

The more detailed art style of Hytale will probably make it harder for builders to be creative in using specific blocks for non intended purposes like for example in Minecraft, you can blend different blocks that are supposed to be different materials and make them visually cohesive to one another. The mostly accurate texture and detail that Hytale blocks have will make block mixing tricky.

Well based on the wording, this is definitely the FINAL development year. Which means Hytale is probably slated to launch summer 2026. I knew it was optimistic to hope for Summer 2025, but honestly, it's on the horizon.

[@lassebrustad]

I bet they're just on point where they wanted to be, based on their summer 2023 update, as they wanted it to be playable, if I remember it correctly, which doesn't mean alpha or beta release, but as a version that can be running the game, potentially with game-braking bugs. let's just hope the testing team doesn't really find a lot of major bugs, as that might delay the official release even more than currently expected. I'll expect major bugs in the testing, but that's mostly because I'm a developer, and I know there's a big chance of finding the bugs when it's the least expected time. developers even have a rule of thumb, where major updates shouldn't be released right before the weekend, even if it's tested internally for bugs, just because there's a chance of bugs being discovered by users just an hour after releasing the update. for a developer, that means they have to fix before they're done working for the weekend

[@ZedDevStuff]

Why do y'all act like this? If you followed the blog or actually watched the video you'd know that they rewrote their engine from scratch then started reimplementing everything they already add in the new engine and this is what they're showing us rn (along with stuff that's possible using the new engine). Do you think you could make a game like this in this time?

[@aimeegwen.mp4]

@@ZedDevStuff Im aware of all that, by the way. Still, them saying that over a hundred content creators have already played the game behind the scenes, I would assume that after 6 years, they probably must have a little more to show, at least more than decrease in quality of footage we have seen 6 years ago. While I have understanding of the situation, I can still now speak of being "positively surprised" at all. This is no progress in the overall state of the game as we've seen it, after all. Progress for their development situation, absolutely. But no kind of "new footage" to get excited about. Rather, it looks like there won't be no playable public release within the next two years still. Which Is simply a frustrating situation to be in, considering we have seen nothing of actual gameplay - as how it plays first hand, when their former goal was so have a beta in 2019. Saying this was a pure miscalculation triggered by wrong expectations of how the trailer will was received, would be an understatement.

Seeing a comparison between the old and new engine, I can't reasonably say much but it *feels* nicer to look at, might even be a style difference since it's been a few years. But I hope it means something about their progress that it feels the way it seems.

[@senritsujumpsuit6021]

engine tweaks do a lot of heavy lifting for example when triple games changed to poor ones it really showed so its far better to slightly notice a shift then watch a game blow up your pc for nothing

[@MarEvayave]

I dunno, a lot of it could just be texture changes, like using a texture pack for Minecraft. Even things like lighting/shadows don't require an engine change; we can see that with shaders Minecraft. A surprising vast assortment of games are available on Unity or UE that look completely different from each other despite using the same engine. The way graphics are rendered are the main thing engines do visually. The engines largely are the determining factor in what a game is capable of. Whether it is developed to take advantage of those capabilities is another story entirely. And if they actually did redo the engine for the sake of console/mobile (what they claimed back in 2021), then those capabilities could end up being very restricted for PC, because of how limiting mobile is in particular.

People love to judge things they have absolutely no clue about, even when it makes zero logical sense. They totally spent over 2 years creating something worse than what they started with. For sure. It's definitely not just that this is barely the beginning of them using the thing they spent over two years making. Remember, the original game, before the first trailer was released, was already being worked on for around 3 years before we saw it.

Truly I hope that the lack of characteristic visual aspects of the legacy engine is because they focused on the gameplay and stuff that will support modding the game in the future. Because if it was that long in development there's certainly no reason why bloom, volumetrics and fire asset (as an example) are missing. The lighting in the new engine looks way worse in comparison (with the video that showed the rain atmosphere - basically the reason I got into engine development as I want to make something similar myself), and as a bit of a graphics programmer myself I see no reason why is that the case. Especially that those are some of the effect, that while not trivial to implement, definitely were already researched and porting them even across a different programming language should not put that much of a strain. Shaders are commonly written in separate languages like GLSL or HLSL, and they are not that hard to port as they operate on similar basis. That being said, I hope that this is a sign of them putting much more consideration into more aspects of the new engine, I can't wait for the final breakdown, but to be honest that's not a impressive jump in the sense technical graphics improvement, I hope they are holding stuff back from us.

With the more I see of their development strategy, the more I appreciate it. For the people in charge to see the ginormous interest in the game and yet not succumb to their greed, instead seeing that objectively their game wasn't ready to support that level of attention long-term, is greatly impressive.

ngl i just wonder if maybe there will be npc that u could build a house for to move in just like in terraria. it would be cool to be able to build ur own town in single player with npc u can actually interact with cuz i always loved an idea of being able to make and slowly expand ur town.

I’ve been looking forward to this game since the initial trailer in 2018, when I was wrapping up my college years. Now I’m working and have my life together. I’m still waiting for it, but I really hope it lives up to the hype. There’s nothing more annoying than a game being revealed too soon, only to be a disappointment or just okay.

[@Markios-g4g]

Minecraft shaders and mods need to be available for Hytale and other similar games, such as Vintage Story. Nothing seems to compare to Minecraft shaders when it comes to graphics or mods for customized gameplay for these type of games and that's pretty much why Minecraft is still played, despite how bad it is when it comes to block building shapes, having only stairs as roofs for example or that you can't build with smaller sizes of all building items so that you don't need to build a massive house to look detailed because you can use smaller ones in less space, that way trees would also look more real life while still being blocky, but right now they feel...too blockly, at least for me.

[@brock3257]

I’m so excited for this game, but I’m worried that by the time it releases, I’ll be at a different place in my life where I won’t be able to enjoy it as much as I could now 😪

Question: Can you befriend a certain NPC? Like if it sees you getting attacked it will help, or give you discounts for helping with stuff.

That would be amazing!

I do not like paid mods. Modding a video game should be a step towards joining a dev team yourself, and THAT is where your money should be made. If someone wants to DONATE because they like the mod or smth, thats chill, but i will never pay for mod access.

[@altrivotzck6565]

Paid mods are fine, as a general idea. I would pay for actually good mods, as if they were cheaper dlc. I'm talking the best of the best, like Terraria Calamity or Thorium; Minecraft Aether, Tinker's Construct, Industrialcraft, Thaumcraft, Applied Energistics, Create, Ars Magica, Botania, Witchery, and many others; Isaac Antibirth (which Repentance pretty much is), Fiend Folio, Epiphany, or Revelations; Slay The Spire Downfall, or the anniversary community mods. A good example of a "paid mod" that worked out just fine is the Forgotten City game. It's pretty much a skyrim mod that was turned into a separate game. It's not quite the same as a paid mod, but kinda? The problem generally starts with how the monetization system works, and how they are presented. If you aren't careful, you can end up with something like the MC bedrock marketplace or the Fallout Creation Club. I think just simply allowing modders to lock their mods behind a payment is fine. As long as the system itself doesn't heavily incentivize this in some way, the system should sort itself out. People aren't gonna buy something that isn't worth it, as long as they aren't literal children, and most modders tend to themselves be adverse to asking for money. They're out here making stuff for the fun of it or literally making dlc-worthy content for free. Like, paid mods on the Skyrim Nexus are generally fine imo. The problem with Skyrim paid mods is that Bethesda recently, like a year or two, set up a system for "official" paid mods, which has a few problems, like people getting confused that the "official" title means they're closer to fanmade dlc.

i was 15 when this game was announced. I'm now 21. my excitement is wavering at this point

same, i'm 23, now i have to think about how i will pay for my house, car and family, the game seems worse than it was in the first trailer, whoever made the decision to change engine needs to be fired.

Couldn't imagine being in development since 2018 & not being able to animate a door opening.

[@therealsnaily]

The game has been in development since even earlier, by 2015. A bigger point!

[@altrivotzck6565]

This comment is unbelievably dumb. Yeah, no shit they could've made door animations in the last 8 years. They already did. If there aren't any ready right now, it's because they haven't remade/reimplemented them, after they spent the last 2 years completely remaking the entire code the game is built on.

[@lunarknight3597]

nah you can see door animations in some old dev videos this video is just misinformed

NGL, there are so many new custom Minecraft games/servers that have achieved this type of gameplay and new Minecraft mods that have already achieved some of the mechanics, so honestly, Hytale seems ordinary. Axiom, FAWE, FAVS, Hypixle, MineBox, Wynncraft, etc...
