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
This is not true, development has stalled the past few years because Riot demanded they port it to a new engine, which was why it got indefinitely delayed and eventually cancelled
Things were moving well before that. The original developers took back control of the project and are back on track
I just think this is going to be a bit of a mess no matter what way it goes. People have such a different idea of what this game is now based on the riot drive.
& I can’t help but think that’s kinda the point of buying it, because you only need to sell it in one burst of hype to make a quick buck, look at cube world for example.
Also the game has been sold off once, if someone like M$ came knocking, even just to kill it, you think if he makes a huge profit off the purchase, he’ll say no?
I think a lot of people have been waiting for this & the hype around it is just going to lead to disappointment.
