Funney weapon!
Does this game change anything fundamentally from Minecraft? Every screenshot and video I've seen of it seemingly has no original ideas whatsoever.
>>730896119Define what would be a fundamental change to you.It's got mob variety that doesn't suck and that does it for me really, but there's a ton that's actually different.
>>730896750mob variety doesn't matter when the AI is this bad
>>730896750I haven't played so correct me if there's anything wrong but it seems to have>very similar world and biomes to minecraft>most common foods are the same as minecraft, carrots, wheat, meat, apples etc>seemingly has all the same blocks, basically looks like a texture pack>same basic structure of progression in mining the same basic minerals like ironI would say fundamental differences would be a higher focus on different elements, maybe the combat is one of those i'm not sure, but an increased amount of bosses, or world events, types of biomes etc, think "gimmick" biomes if you will.Maybe it has those? I'm not sure, it just looks like a Minecraft mod to me, not a new game. I'm not sure for what reason I would play this instead of just modding Minecraft.
>>730896119Gives you building blocks and furniture you'll never get out of vanilla Minecraft. It also has a creative mode with worldedit features like brushes. Minecraft is never gonna have vertical slabs or furniture or any improvements to creative mode or any new blocks other than maybe a yearly wood recolor, and it's nice to have that stuff without having to rely on MC's immensely fucked up mod community.
>>730897453It helps to know the history of the company making this. They used to run Hypixel, the biggest p2w server on minecraft, with amazing profits. Then Mojang cucked p2w and they had to stop. So they used that money to start making Hytale. The purpose of Hytale is literally to continue their old grift. They WANT it to be "minecraft but we're in charge" so they can't get cucked again.
>>730897453I can't imagine this took this long to develop and only just launched with early access without some real fucky shit going on behind the scenes like severe drug problems and a stint in jail or rehab.
>>730897807>without some real fucky shit going onLike a legal issue regarding the rights to the project with riot games that halted progress for 6 years?
>>730897807Riot was trying them to rework the engine they built for a Minecraft clone into a Roblox clone with an in-engine Roblox Studio clone supporting every platform including mobile. All the lost years were entirely engine work for an idea that shouldn't have been entertained in the first place. They ended up buying back from Riot and using the old engine and settled for being a Minecraft clone instead of a Roblox clone.
>>730897453>very similar world and biomes to minecraftSomewhat true, but Hytale adds a scorched volcanic biome and a dank meme forest.>most common foods are the same as minecraft, carrots, wheat, meat, apples etcYou are a carnivore in Hytale. Everything drops more meat than you will ever need. You just eat meat all the time.>seemingly has all the same blocks, basically looks like a texture packThere are proper roof tiles and a lot more furniture, aswell as a few statues and the legendary work in progress sign.>same basic structure of progression in mining the same basic minerals like ironHytale adds funky metals like copper (copper is useless in minecraft), thorium, cobalt, adamantite and mirithril.
>>730898381NTA. I'm not exactly a "Minecraft fan" although I have a couple hundred hours in it, point is, I would not be inherently against a similar game that tries to do things a bit differently. BUT!!!I think HT looks kinda ass. >There are proper roof tiles and a lot more furniture,This is exactly the problem. Sometimes less is more. The lack of fine-tuned pieces in MC force a creative approach. It also forces a certain level of consistency in design style. Frankly I cringe whenever I see sloped, angled, rounded surfaces in an otherwise blocky game, as it happens so often when I look at HT screenshots. This is also why I cringe at most MC mods.>Hytale adds funky metals like copper (copper is useless in minecraft)No longer the case, it is a fully-fledged building block and crafting material. Copper tools and armor are useless bloat, though, but they exist, too, I guess.>You are a carnivore in Hytale. Everything drops more meat than you will ever need.Same in MC, actually, if you live on crops instead of having a cow grinder, you are a moron. Crops are more for villager trading and animal breeding.
>>730897453The main difference with the biomes in hytale vs minecraft is that unlike in minecraft where they're completely aesthetic, in hytale they govern which mini dungeons and ruins and mobs can spawn in the overworld and which setpieces and resources spawn underground.For example the starting biome has a bunch of skeletons ruins, a hybrid of trolls and orcs from WoW that can drop armor and weapons and have camps with loot here and there, and the underground only nets you copper and iron the deeper you go, with lava pits and a couple fire essence mobs and ruins. The desert biome nets you thorium and you have to fight through a huge interconnected set of hives full of bugs that look like silithids from WoW. Ice biome has necromancer niggers on it and cobalt, etc.People like to go to the blasted volcanic biome because it's an island that juts out from the sea but it's the most unfinished part of the early access and it's meant to be an endgame area. The underground jungle it generates doesn't even have area-specific spawns.
post builds pls
>>730901464>>730897453Forgot pic, I'm currently at the desert biome getting thorium.This is one of the main reasons why people do the comparison with terraria, with the biome-specific undergrounds..
>>730896119It's super gay and greedy right out the gate instead of a decade later.
>>730901464But the volcano island is neat with scorched forests.In the full version I will build my base there.
your fotm game isn't going to happen and it's clear why it was cancelled in the first place
>>730901950It seems the underground jungle is where the tameable dinos will be once they decide to add them. I'd have to be fucking stupid not to make at least a secondary base in there once that happens, the dinos are the main reason I decided to get into the game.
>>730901464>>730902217Why is there a jungle under the volcano biome?I swear to god this game is just more randumb meme shit that tries to be funny by being nonsensical.
>>730896119No but i DO wanna have consensual gay sex with chopper, does that help you?
>>730902401The area really wasn't naturally volcanic, retards fucked it up with fire magic just like the underground in the main biome.Read up on the lore, lorelet.
>>730898006 Exactly. Riot was meddling hard with the direction early on, trying to force the project into some all-in-one live-service platform garbage instead of just letting it be the Minecraft competitor it was clearly supposed to be. They basically nuked years of progress and then bailed when it no longer aligned with their pipe dream of owning the next Roblox. Honestly impressive it's even playable now considering how hard that detour probably derailed development.
>>730902681>the next RobloxI fucking hate Roblox.They better not add pedophilia and grooming to this like Roblox.
>>730897545>furniturefurniture is kinda boring in Minecraft-type games. Something about building a whole house out of individual blocks and then placing down an entire regular chair feels wrong for some reason. But i'm probably just being an old man and yelling at clouds
>>730903405>But i'm probably just being an old man and yelling at cloudsPretty much. Aside from just regular blocks for building (and this includes slopes and very specific shapes) furniture and the little decorative details is what most people autistically obsess over in most voxel-based games. Just look at vintage story, the dev spends more time making different types of pots and shelves into the game than actually adding in content into the gameplay loop.
Found a new location to set up a base. These prefabs are great. Minecraft would never.
>>730897453the design choices for Hytale make more sense when you realize it was designed from the ground up to be Simon's own version of Minecraft after Microsoft told him to stop charging so much for the ranks and shit on his server (bootleg runescape)
>>730903909I do not like using prefabs as a base. Feels like cheating.I treat prefabs more like museums.
