We dropped 4 different updates on https://hytale.com/news 1) A general update on to the development of the game and its expected release window (2021 :( ) 2) Progress on graphics (and a more extensive gameplay clip on that one!) 3) Four new OST Tracks 4) Some more recent work.
On a personal note re: Release date. This was very difficult information for the team to break We fully expected to be able to ship something in 2019, but it wasn't to be - part of waiting so long to relay that information was us doing what we could to make 2019 happen.
Rather than put the team face first with the barrel of a 2020 promise we've decided that we're much more comfortable to say our expectation is 2021. Hytale is a 5-10+ year project that doesn't end with the release of the game. It's a marathon not a sprint.
We've said throughout it will be ready when its ready - and we do mean that - our ultimate goal of the project is that it's not just for us. It's for players and content creators to create what flights of fancy they can conjure up - and that takes time.
Our origin story is that of a minecraft server but we're evolving fast. For context on scope we've built everything in the project from the ground up. The engine - rendering, 3D modelling tools, the UI tech. Going down the unity / unreal engine route for a block based game just
wasn't feasible for us. There have been many attempts to make blockgames in those engines, and I think trying to fit a square peg in a round hole (forgive the pun) just isn't something that results in the 'comfy feel' that block games NEED to have. So we chose the harder route.
Anyway - I'm incredibly sorry to those who are disappointed by it taking longer than they hoped. I fully expect those people to exist and be assured your voices are being heard. It's you who we are making this for, we are doing our best and I do hope on the day when the game
is loading on your computer for the first time you will forgive us for the wait. As Shigeru Miyamoto says “A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever.”
And to those who are bombarding us with messages of support. Your voices are heard too, they are what carry us through development. To be in this position and for a pre launch game from a first time studio to have this support.... I'm a little teary eyed reading them. Thank you.
Worth the wait, both for the blog posts now, as well as the game in 2021 :)
Thanks Llama. Your fanart is always something I show when talking about our community :)
