ConcernedApe might save Hytale

Based monke saving high tail hall

Realistically, who would want to save a development team that "worked" for a decade and had nothing to show for it? It was a low poly game with pixelated textures, there's no real excuse.

>>713916640 (OP)
literally bet someone that a dev would step in and take over the project

It's satisfying to know what he was so concerned about finally.

>>713916640 (OP)
You could even say he's... CONCERNED!

>>713916640 (OP)
Is Ape the only indie dev out there who's a good guy? Most of the ones I've read up on are either insufferable or have their heads up their asses

>>713916640 (OP)
same way he 'made' stardew I imagine
Just hiring a bunch of indians to do it for him and claim credit

>>713916640 (OP)
Considering that he’s taken more than a decade to release a basic 2D indie pixel game about selling chocolates at a haunted factory he should probably sit this one out

will he make it based?

Source?

>>713916640 (OP)
Turned out to be vapourware in the end after all then?

>>713916640 (OP)
He can't save it, Riot bought the thing out thinking they could make it into a League of Legends spinoff (because Dragon Quest Builders was getting hot during the time), but now they decided they don't want that and want a tag fighter instead.

toby fox donated to blm during the 2020 riots so hes pretty ok in my book

Yeah, as soon as they started bandying about the term 'engine rework' I knew it was over. That's the shit you do when you don't have as much oversight as you should and your devs have no united vision, so you get bogged down in the weeds tweaking bullshit endlessly without ever actually making progress.
Catastrophic failure of management.

It's a shame, because what they had shown did look fairly interesting.

>>713920327
I mean he gave me the game for free so he's OK in my book.

I don't give a shit about anything else, drama stuff is worthless. Not that I've heard anything about the dude anyway.

What a fucking train wreck of an article title

I came to that zebra twice a day for a week when I first played. I miss those days.

Ever single article.

>Why it failed
Lack of Emily!

>How to fix it
Emily!

apparently it failed because they changed engines and none of the old devs knew what to do so they hired new ones who were annoying retards who didnt want to make hytale or anything really
also apparently the old engine was almost ready for a beta (eta 10 years)

based Emily enjoyer

>>713920327
I don't believe he ever condemned /v/, so he's in the Based Klub with Notch.

>>713918219
That's definitely why he wanted to see why it failed. Some forever projects are just grift ops, not sure about the politics of Hytale

>Dev Hell
Ummm, yikes...
They should've just soldiered on and make the sequel on the newer engine.

As a teen you go for the zebra.
But as an adult the correct choice is the fox.
