Seeing all these people shitting on Hytale is genuinely insane to me.
- Game gets announced 9 years ago, one of the most hyped up games ever
- Developer makes 20 million from selling Hytale to Riot, can literally retire for the rest of his life
- Riot runs Hytale into the ground over the course of years, community gets strung along for the ride
- Riot CANCELS Hytale, community is in complete shambles
- Developer comes out of retirement when he and his wife recently started a family to try and save the game, makes a bid and reacquires the IP
- Bid gets accepted, dev spends months away from family to undo all the years of bad development so the game can become playable asap
- Sets a release date that’s super early because although he knows the game is extremely unfinished, he wants to get it out asap so the community can finally play it
- Spends WEEKS telling everyone how unfinished the game is to temper everyone’s expectations but promises consistent updates
- Game releases, half the people are shitting on it because it’s unfinished and they say it’s not worth $20
- ???
I haven’t played the game yet because I wanted to wait until it was a little more complete, but seeing all the discourse actually makes me want to play it sometime this week.
Regardless though, it’s genuinely insane to me that this game is already so ahead of its time even in early access that people are legitimately comparing it to MODDED MINECRAFT (a modded version of a finished game that’s been out for 20 years) and think that they’re valid for doing so.
Keep up the great work @Simon_Hypixel , as someone who wanted to play this game since I was 16 years old because I always loved games like Minecraft and Cube World, I’m thankful that there has come a point in my life where I actually am able to.
People are always going to look for reasons to hate on everything; don’t let the negative noise drown out the fact that starting yesterday, you were able to fulfill a dream millions of people have had for almost a decade now of finally being able to play your game.

When I say Hytale is not good enough, I genuinely mean it. It's not some reverse psychology trick!
Real talk: We are using a 4-year-old game build with over 300 versions (branches) of prototypes that we Frankenstein together in record time into a single branch. None of it was meant to be released this quickly and in this way.
There are barely any game progression mechanics configured, and we have to implement them all in record time to make it somewhat enjoyable.
Of course, I'm confident it's going to be "ok" for release. However, this is the current situation we are dealing with, on top of all the bug fixes, refactors, clean-ups and other ongoing issues that we are facing. We inherited a true hardcore engineering and design challenge, and we are on the clock to deliver early access.
The exploration of the game is fun, don't get me wrong, but man, I wish we had more time to get a few more features or configurations in to enhance that experience, but no, we break the curse of release and fix later. This will come at a significant cost; some people will be permanently convinced the game is doomed to remain in this state, unaware that this is an authentic early access experience. I hope that people who share the game will explain the situation we are in and how we got here. Keep in mind, the gameplay video doesn't show much of the gameloop because, well, there isn't much of it. Combat, game vibe, and exploration are great fun, but there needs to be mechanics to keep it going over time.
One thing I have learned over time is to enjoy the painful feedback. It is the most critical part of making games and improving yourself as a game designer. Of course, you have to be filtering out the ones that want to steer you in their own vision of what the game should be, so it's a balancing act.
When I read negative feedback on the gameplay video, I don't get defensive or hurt. I'm literally like, "Yep, they are not wrong" or "Why do they think like this? How can I solve their problem?" This has taken me years to get to that point. Our community, over the last 14 years on MC, has not been shy about giving us their feedback.
The one thing I can promise is that the game is owned by someone who cares and understands the situation, and I will do my best to empower my team to make a great game, however long it takes. This time, with all of you along for the ride, if you wish to be a part of it.

Hytale will take 0% from modders and server owners for at least the first 2 years.
We will trust that they bring us players; that is all.
We will not have any exclusivity clauses.
By the players, for the players.

This situation upsets me greatly as someone that has two dogs
Upon looking into this more, Hasan indeed has a shock collar on his dog if you look at the image.
His reaction to his Dog screaming like that is also unsettling. Dogs legit just want to be loved and give love.
Seeing cruelty like this from Hasan really showcases what type of person he really is deep down.
Absolutely disgusting and if you defend this you are a monster
I always wondered how Hasan kept his dog behind him all stream.
It’s because he’s been using a shock collar on a setting so high that his dog FUCKING SCREAMS when he uses it.
Using your dog as a prop to seem more friendly relatable and down to earth when in reality
The dog isn’t sitting there of his own volition but stays there out of fear
I am beyond disgusted.
Fuck this man’s whole existence.
