HYTALE IS SAVED!

Context: HyTale was possibly the most hyped Minecraft alternative, but got acquired by Riot and was in development hell. Earlier this year it got cancelled, but now the original founder has bought it back from Riot and is reviving the game, with early access soon

Modding: Available at launch. Run your own servers and create custom content.

All I needed to hear. I am so excited for this and was following the game since it was announced, fuck yeah

    Glad to hear that.

    But geez what a mess. They’re going back to their old engine after spending years trying to port the game to a new engine.

      It’s the right choice in my opinion. Rather than spend another few years working on the new engine and possibly going into development hell again, they’re going to move back to the old engine and release the game straight into early access to gain some momentum and progress

      Seems like the new engine had so many problems that the old engine was actually better made.

      They wouldnt have chosen this approach without good reason.
