Why doesn't anyone talk about Hytale anymore? Is it actually any good or was it all hype?
>>738890504There's nothing to talk about. It's just another minecraft clone that misses the point of minecraft.
>>738892224What's the point of Minecraft?
>>738892565automating it to play itself
The game as a mode can be done in a weekend. No one really talks about it as the game kept getting updated, thus make it impossible to mod said game.
>>738892709dont worry, its getting as many updates as minecraft now
>>738890504we actually had a server setup when it launched but the server was eventually abandoned and shutdown. I still keep the server saved for nostalgia purposes. As for what killed it, it honestly was due to the game not having much with even little things to do in it
>>738893097The anon complain that it kept updating and breaking the instrument mod and just go on hiatus.
those blocky characters are hideous
>>738890504Hytale never had a chance
>>738890504I'm still waiting for the machinery and world gen v2 updates, maybe when proper animal farming and fishing are added I might check it out again
Woah turns out I was right and releasing this shit with zero content was a mistake instead of letting it cook for six extra months or a year firstWho could've seen this coming, but hey at least he got to ride the hype haha
>>738892565Man I don't know, I just wanted to sound smart.
>>738890504At the moment it seems like a modding platform, Luanti with prettier graphics. The average Joe wants to play the vanilla game which is bare bones and while the mods are nice, it's competing with MC whose modding library had a decade and a half start.
>>738890504for me its just too uncanny, its blocky but has too many textures and stuff that isnt cubes. the blocks are too stylized to be used in a broad way like in minecraft and the whole redstone bit is missing
>>738892843Its just the irony of it. They want modders to mod the game, but the update they kept shitting out kept breaking said mods.
theyre cooking a lot lately, gearing up for the release of chapter 1. apparently their goal is to cultivate the user generated content scene and make them accessible by creating a mod, minigame and server browser in game so that when they release the chapter there'd be a lot of content to keep the players busy. personally im just waiting for gen v2 before i commit again to the game
>>738890504Most updates have been back end or QoL related. I think most people, including myself, are waiting for those areas with the WIP signs to open up before getting back on again.
>>738898037That dandy and all but what preventing their mods from not working if they updated again?
>>738898409i heard the plan was in the future, this shouldnt be an issue at all and mods would just work no matter the version. but currently i think theyre giving modders a heads up of the changes through pre releases as well as a "modders warning" section in the patch notes listing all the changes made relevant to the modders
we finished all it had to offeronly updates will save it now
>>738890504Because it's fucking dead and the devs are incompetent and adding bullshit noone cares about instead of making the actual fucking game
