This is the first time we have gotten actual uncut gameplay of Hytale, and it looks great.

Some things I noticed

  • Each weapon type has a special skill that gets charged when dealing damage
  • Trees break instantly when breaking its trunk
  • You can hold a torch in your hand to light the area around you while moving
  • You can climb up blocks and roll when landing from a high place to avoid fall damage
  • There’s a detailed map you can open at any time
  • The last few minutes tease mod development tools. You can edit assets, models, worldgen, create prefabs, spawn NPCs, etc from a dedicated menu in the game

      the game was bought back by Simon (the guy who owns Hypixel and sold the game in the first place) and it looks like it’s back in development!

        Look up the news from the past day or 2, it’s actually much more interesting than that!

        The original founder (well, one of them) got the studio devs back together and bought the game back off the people he sold it to who had canned it, and now they’re back developing it.

        Side note Vintage Story is rad :-D
