Hytale is DEAD

https://hytale.com/news/2025/6/a-difficult-update-about-hytale

what are they gonna do with all the assets?

i don't know this game but the name reminded me of an old flash game

yeah we know

>>713537587
nothing. riot owns all of it

I don't know what Hytale is

I wonder how many faggots are going to kill themselves over this...

>>713537921
probably no one. everyone who was hyped for it were mostly kids when it was announced and moved on with life

>>713537520 (OP)
I don't know what this is about but I will claim a chud victory

>>713537889
One of many Minecraft clones that failed to come to proper fruition. Somewhere out there are people still waiting on Cube World to be finished.

>>713537520 (OP)
I was so hyped about it back then. It's been so many years...

It was never really alive to begin with.

how come they can't simulate the work of a singular fatfuck swede? is he really that powerful?

>>713538671
Notch can actually program/rapid prototype, unlike modern devs who need a whole fucking team of people to do one man's job.

It took him 3 years of casually working at Minecraft to go from infdev to the Adventure Update, which may as well be Minecraft 1.0.

Were any of the VS devs originally going to work on Hytale? That'd be news to me.

>>713542214
Tyron was hired by Hypixel in 2015 and ended up leaving due to "creative differences".
Now he's the lead for VS.

>>713543323
Holy shit, I had no idea. What a chad.

>It took him 3 years of casually working at Minecraft to go from infdev to the Adventure Update, which may as well be Minecraft 1.0.
it's fucking crazy how slow everything is nowadays, even current Mohjang's output has slowed down to a crawl.
I bet it's a situation of too many cooks in the kitchen and modern devs having their time wasted by stupid crap management pushes for.

>>713537520 (OP)
This reminds me of that one game that was announced recently that kinda looks like a alternative to Minecraft/Hytale where they showed the player building a airship in the trailer.
I can't remember the name.

Interesting

>>713537587
what assets?

>>713544683
Pay for it bitch.
It's $20 for a decent game that will only get better with the coming updates.
Hundreds of hours for $20 is a no brainer, it might even save you money because you will have less time for other lesser games.

>>713544683
Give it a try before you buy

>>713545048
People still use IGG Games???

>>713545048
enjoy your malware bro

>>713537520 (OP)
They only released one trailer in all these years.

>>713545225
Well, I've used IGG Games for like 5 years with no problem.
Stopped using it like 2 years ago when I got my first paycheck.
Feels better to buy games and I don't have to worry having to wait weeks for the new update to be available and manually download it.

>>713545048
wew lad, that's an outdated version.
1.20 is important just for the added rammed earth alone

Meanwhile in vs

>>713545479
At that point just wait for 1.21
It's 1.20 part 2

>>713543782
it is because everything they add needs to be immediately monetizable, approved by every level of mojang and microsoft, and go through 150 different cultural censors to ensure nothing is unintentionally offensive
it is a product, not a game now.

I pray every day for a GTNH mod in VintageStory. Too bad Greg's autism fizzled out.

Hytale is dead, and every dev got fuckloads of money for doing nothing. Lucky bastards.

>>713546324
>and every dev got fuckloads of money for doing nothing
well no, most of the studio got a decent salary, but are now losing their jobs. They weren't made millionaires or anything.

>>713544451
There wasn't a game to begin with, all that shit was mockups

>>713544683
Just buy it, already feature rich game where you're allowed to set goals at your own pace (save for winter approaching), and it has extremely good mod support

there's a demo if you're still unsure

>>713544992
I've never spent money on video games

odds of a playable early build leaking?

>>713537520 (OP)
Play vintage story.

>>713546768
If there was any dev to give money it's Tyron, the team runs their own storefront too so none of it is going to steam/gog/whatever

>>713537520 (OP)
It was obvious, If they ever had something we would have seen demos, alphas showcasing the game or anything besides just videos and videos of shills saying how cool it is. Kids who saw the first trailer most likely can post here now. It's been 10 FUCKING YEARS.

its because there is no cohesive vision other than not straying too far from being "minecrafty", whatever that means. any cool ideas get shot down for conflicting with all the simultaneous visions for the game that need to be met to ensure max engagement. im willing to bet the reason updates are so unsubstantial isnt because they have no ideas, but they all get shot down. new trees & cute animals are the only things that make it through because they dont change anything about the game
mojang PROVED they could make a good update with the potato april fools. they just cant get any of it past management

>>713547661
Hopefully we'll get large scale forges as endgame technology gets expanded on, once you get an iron pick you can mine so much ore that using crucibles in fire pits becomes impractical, iron and steel are the only metals with an implemented solution to scalability

I want to build a giant steel mill with my peasant buddies and pour rivers of molten copper

>>713548274
I want more plant autism, the potion mods I saw almost scratch that itch but it's not enough. And I wish this fucking game embraced the building autism by giving you reasons to build shit in your singleplayer world, like stealing Terraria's NPC system in some way. There's also a mod for that but it's not quite there yet.

>>713548425
One of the only cases of "it'll get there" I feel confident in saying, if anything I suggest you build houses anyways because it's inevitable

Also, work on a museum, collect plants, wood, gems, quality ores etc.

>>713548274
Wish they would make prospecting a less tedious too.
Spent hours and already found high readings of Cassiterite, Hematite, Sphalerite but still can't find a single goddammit chunk of Galena

Not a fan of Vintage Story but something that really activates my almonds is ground storage, no idea why it feels so good when of course a chest is infinitely more efficient.

>>713537520 (OP)
>Lead dev sold the company in 2021 and fucked off.
I'm surprised Riot didn't cancel it earlier.

>>713548906
Always check the stone strata to ensure the ore can even occur in it, and loooong distances. You could be getting poor readings because you're on the edge of a massive motherlode 30 km away. I assume you need it for lead? I find silver is easier for solder just because of how common quartz is.

>>713537520 (OP)
Man, the last the thing I heard about this game was that the devs got bought by Tencent, and then I lost all interest in it.

>>713537520 (OP)

it really just comes down to wokeness and dei
people no longer get promoted and hired based on merit but gender and skin color instead.
the few white and asian guys that actually do get the job not only have to do all the work, they also have to fix all the problems that the dei hires cause.

>>713550835
Riot just gave them money, Hypixel thought gamedev was just making unity mockups rather than an actual product

>>713550762
The Mojang* grift, where you get a nice salary by pretending to work and then you release an update that is just more wood and textures. The issue is that these idiots forgot they had to release a game first.

>>713545151
>>713545225
I've literally never gotten malware from the site that I showed. But go ahead and keep fearmongering

>>713545479
Even so, it should be enough to get an idea if you like the game enough to buy it

>>713549579
It's lead for window panes.
From what I know it spawns on surface level sedimentary layer which my base is on a shale/bauxite area, unless there's a specific sedimentary rock it only spawns on like lime or chalk which im unaware of, then that's fucking insane

>>713552914
It spawns in all sedimentary layers with chert and shale being the most bountiful, you can get the small surface deposits but the larger ones are what show up prospecting. The nice thing about sedimentary ores is that you don't need to dig especially deep exploratory shafts to probe for the deposit.

>>713544516
EQ Landmark had some really good aspects to and it's a shame it ended up the way it did. It was so much fun to build using it's systems and watch week by week as more insane discoveries were made, completely changing how people worked with the voxel systems.

Pretty sure they decided far before the official announcement to cancel the actual MMO and then started shoving various pieces of it into Landmark, ruining what they had put together.

>>713537520 (OP)
>as our vision evolved
>our technical ambitions grew more complex
So basically they succumbed to feature creep and ran out of money. One thing indies never seem to understand about professional gamedev is that at some point you have to just draw a line and say "this is it, no more". Many great games were made with those kinds of limitations. Art from adversity.

It takes some real fucking incompetence and stupidity to fuck up a Minecraft clone with millions of dollars backing it up

>>713544181
damn I watched that vid, look at the related videos on the right, there's at least 3 other minecraft games
I remember falling for cube world and actually buying it though, I'm not even a zoomer

>>713556905
Well, considering it comes from the same people who run the Hypixel server, it's not surprising in the slightest. I've never seen anything of its size managed so fucking poorly. It's a shame because some of the minigames are actually good.

I feel like a minecraft clone shouldn't take 6 years to produce a playable build, especially if it's a full team of devs and not just two dudes in a garage. Riot has a real problem with their dev cycles, their fighting game took them many years and it's still barebones, undercooked and will probably be beat to release with their main upcoming competitor (Tookon)
Their MMO has been in development for many years as well and we've seen NOTHING
Now this too. Someone has to restructure how management on these project works, they're not actually devving games, they're just fucking around and getting paid at this point.

>>713556905
Its even more pathetic when you realize that the fat swede only used java and the VS dev also built an engine from scratch and still released a playable product.
Theres no excuse

>>713537520 (OP)
What an unexpected turn of events.

>>713544683
Good but autistic. It's grindy as fuck
Yes you can pirate it. Also has an unlimited refund window if you complain loud enough

>>713550908
Minecraft's main team is the old guard + people from old modding scene, brown people only work on bedrock (which is not actually minecraft)

>>713538058
>Somewhere out there are people still waiting on Cube World to be finished.
I douibt it, Dev put a nail in the coffin for that game with the last patch he released before disappearing once more.

It's a great loss.

>>713554994
bagsed... so.. fuvkign.... zased. .

>>713544181
You forgot that development also started due to the Minecraft EULA changes in 2014 regarding certain forms of monetization. If the game got released there absolutely would've been issues regarding monetization given the core driving force behind its development

I mean it’s their game, but that’s stupid. It’s like that Minecraft tits Mod that reduced the maximum size for the slider.

Sort of, but an actual vat you can tip and have to add flux and skim slag off of and shit

>>713574935
The tranny one? The backlash must have been sobering when the AGPs screamed over not having cubic P cups. Just use custom player models or blockbench at that point

>>713538881
A lot of managers operate under the assumption that 9 women can produce a baby in one month.

>>713538671
Notch actually does the work instead of leeching a paycheck.
Insane I know.

>>713543782
While I have never worked in the gaming industry, I have worked in software development. The biggest problem is that programmers have become so overmanaged its ridiculous. Managers dont understand what the fuck programmers actually do, so they filled up our schedules with meetings after meetings just make sure they still feel in control. It's miserable.

im working on something that will change the fucking map of video gaming for the next century
i figured out a way to convert all game engines+content into machine code from the outset, even if encryption is used
it results in huge games, that usually take up 10s to 100s of GB in size, being less than 4gb in size
and it also makes the latest and prettiest games run on fucking toasters

I played Skyblock for a few months and the game was like a succubus for autism. I remember spending literal fucking hours farming retarded amounts of virtual produce on a loop. Was Hytale supposed to be something similar?

>>713586274
Hytale was supposed to be everything adventure mode Minecraft would be if the combat mechanics weren't absolute dogshit placeholders that became foreverholders with a touch of Terraria, if Minecraftraria also had literally toddlerproof yet very much functional modeling, animating and pseudocoding suites for infinite content works, so no and yes

>>713538881
>It took him 3 years of casually working at Minecraft to go from infdev to the Adventure Update,
While also doing most of the art and modeling during the early development years. The only part that wasn't touched by notch was the music, but other than that, early MC was Notch's baby.
We will unironically never get a game as big or culturally relevant as Minecraft because Notch wasn't a retard like every other developer who tried making a "Minecraft-like" after him.

>>713539395
How do I git gud at this? Should I first play on the easiest difficulty without hostile mobs?

>>713588760
Every game after minecraft is a minecraft like in someway. from crafting to exploring, base building, inventory and so on, I feel like every game took something from this piece of shit. I think I was watching some random games about pirates and ships from ubisoft and you had to cut down trees in that fucking game like god damn minecraft.

As good as minecraft it is, is kinda like a cancer in the entire industry because it becomes the go to uncreative hacks to try to copy the formula. same as roguelikes, and you are talking with a nethack. redrogue and rogue veteran here.

There is an ideal world were minecraft never become as popular as it did and it was just an autistic little game people enjoy it a lot, similar to terraria. loyal fanbase, lots of updates, but not this jugneurt so it also didn't become the cancer it become in the industry. I mostly blame women for it. I don't know how, but I'm sure is their fault.

Honestly kinda based, think about it they actually managed to fool Rito because there is ZERO chance they didn't ask to see their current build before going through with the purchase, meaning they cooked up something good enough to pull wool over their eyes.
