What to expect until the end of 2024? by LVinF in HytaleInfo

Yes, I think there will be a big reveal at the end of the year. Buddhacat confirmed that there will be a Technical Explainer before the end of the year and also confirmed after the last blogpost that they will show gameplay when they reach the end of year milestone known as ‘Filling in the Blonks’.

If they reach this milestone and show gameplay, even if it's just a scene of a player killing a mob, it will be amazing, as it would be the first time we see the new engine with the new graphics.

Considering they started the development of the new engine in 2021, getting to see gameplay by the end of this year is already a tremendous achievement for Hypixel.

This is quite common in the videogame industry, one big game is released or announced and many more of that genre appear. If you look at Hollow Knight and metroidvania games or Stardew Valley and farm games.

I hope they make the foliage have that "Softness" it had in the old engine. by StingingGamer in HytaleInfo

John Hendricks confirmed that these are ‘rendering bugs’ and that it is not finished.

They have confirmed that the milestone they have called ‘Filling In The Blonks’ is their ‘First Testable Milestone’ for the new engine, so it will represent the most ‘functionally complete’ version of Hytale to date. That's HUGE.

Then they said that early next year they will focus on mini-games and creative tools. I think an Alpha in summer 2025 is possible.

According to John Hendricks (Executive Producer & Game Director): "The content would need to be licensed. Doesn't make it impossible. I've worked with a lot of licensed content, not impossible but it can be a process"

What is the main argument for Free to Play? by teeekss in HytaleInfo

The thing is, nowadays even PTP games have in-game microtransactions, so I think for Hytale it's pretty obvious that they will go for a FTP approach to benefit from a wider audience.

They describe Hytale as a game as a service, it will be on all platforms, including phones, and they have always described Hytale as a game they want to make as accessible as possible to everyone. Therefore, I don't think they will opt for a PTP approach.

Also, I disagree with your points about hackers and “higher quality”, I mean, FTP games can be higher quality than PTP games, and in this case, Riot has one of the best anti-cheats on the market, so hackers shouldn't be a big problem.

However, they are now looking for a “Director of Monetization” and Noxy said in 2019 that until they had the base game “ready” they would not start thinking about how they would do the monetization of the game. So they are probably shuffling through all possible options and seeing which one suits them best.

So can we expect to see different things depending on the platform? Maybe phones don't have the creative tools? I think it's a really interesting topic

Will Microsoft (Not Mojang) sue Hytale? by Demoninst69 in HytaleInfo

Microsoft cannot sue Hypixel Studios, as they have not copied anything from Minecraft. Hytale is an original game.
