Addressing Hytale's Broken Community

Utter shock, the Hytale team has dropped a new blog post just as I uploaded this video, to no one's suprize there wasn't any major news aside from some new concept art & updates on the work being done, which is a little disappointing. I don't know how much longer we have to wait.... I have High hopes but I'm also sceptical. let me know how you feel in the comments! Ill also Appreciate it if you like, comment & subscribe, this video took an entire month to edit & research! 🔥

Most people have no problem with the wait itself. Obviously the scope of the game massively increased after they got backing from Riot and now they are making Hytale everything it can possibly be and will release a playable finished product when it is available. What is a problem to most people is how dead silent everything has been, we have been able to do nothing BUT wait in silence and anxiety over whether things are actually going as well as we hope they are.

I think the major thing is Hytale started as an indie passion project, then the trailer made the team realize that it wasn't going to be a slow start. But, have millions of potential players at the start. With riot buying them and the rewrite of the code, I think its fair to think the game before the trailer as a proof of concept game demo and the actual game development journey taking place after the trailer. Meaning about 4 years of development. My theory is a 2026 beta release at the minimum.

I'm in a position where I was really hyped for the original trailer, then until a month ago just completely forgot about this games existence. However this means that instead of getting annoyed at the lack of information currently being received instead I'm being flooded with all they have added in the past 5 years

Great coverage of everything Hytale up until now, with great editing! Really shows the growth the studio has grown. The passion is palpable. This is clearly a huge project that will make big waves when it's finally out.

Another example of scope creep. I'm sure that's if they released it early access with a minimum viable product to play, It would be wildly popular and they can just add features on after it's out.

This video was a nice surprise! Hytale is such a shame... They released the trailer way too early and they were in over their heads with the development. I think it's safe to say that there isn't a lot of anticipation and excitement for this game, but I still hope that Hypixel Studios are able to pull this game together.

Well developed essays AND highly-detailed builds? Jeracraft is quickly becoming my favourite minecraft channel

3:20 obviously no project is 1-1 if you factor in the type of work needing to be done along with the skill of developers, but people need to keep this in mind. The pandemic and engine rework likely put the game into development hell for at least one whole year. All of a sudden you needed a team with a new skill set and a good chunk of your team is useless while the engine builders are remaking everything from Java. The 2023 summer hiring blog post was a soft reboot of development in my mind so if they’re aiming for a beta in 2024, I am impressed.

In the corner of my mind I am so hyped for this. When it does come out I will be there.

The one thing I look forward to most in Hytale is the modding capabilities. I never managed to get into minecraft modding since the scuffiness of Java would make it hard to create high quality content. But with Hytale as a baseline, its new engine in C++ and the modding they are promising, I think me and my fellas would have a great time creating some kind of weapon/magic pack or an entire adventure map.

people alway ask "where is hytale" but not "how is hytale"

I honestly always felt like it was strange how many people felt that Hytale was going to flop because of how long they're working on it, when I feel like they should be the opposite, I'd be far more worried if they were releasing it early before they feel it's ready

hytale looks like one of those games from way back in 2014 - 2015 (etc.) when i couldn't afford the full version of minecraft

As a person who has been waiting for my most anticipated update in a game (Fantastic Frontier) for about 5 years, I have 0 problem with waiting, but I would still love a few frequent teasers every once and a while.

Jera, you have not a single idea on how hyped I am for this, specially your buildings in the game. I... I... I can't word how hyped I am, seriously.

I do hope the it comes out eventually because it does look like the sort of game I've wanted for some time now. I really like both Minecraft and Terraria but what I really want is sort of a mix of both. (Or, well, really I just want 3D Terraria with the scope of Minecraft, but I'd settle for a prettier, more action-oriented Minecraft with more customization.)

It's absurd to think that this game won't ever release or will "die on launch" due to the loss of hype surrounding the game. The reason for the silence is quite simple. Riot Games. It's how they have always operated.

once upon a time a blue girl said "don't make a girl a promise, if you know you can't keep it" and they did it, they made a promise that they couldn't keep

This was a great essay video. I'd love to see you do more of these!
