I owe my entire career to the spark from covering Hytale content in 2018-2019, I just hope it comes out before I retire 💀

[jsnotlout]

They commited the cardinal sin of game dev, releasing a trailer way too early

[blueboy]

We're gonna have GTA 6 before hytale releases

[owonapikins]

Ngl this entire situation reminds me a lot of Silksong. Planning to release, getting delayed by covid, and then having to rewrite the game's engine. It wouldn't surprise me if they're just taking the same route team cherry has, working on the game and simply waiting til the time is right to restart the hype.

[LegoMaestro]

Hytale without techno is just gonna feel sad, man.

[TheMisterEpic]

12:15 has to be one of the smoothest edits I've ever seen damn

[kweebec]

Thank you for revisiting this topic to do it some justice! Solid ending, no bias 👌🌲

[KVYT]

Calebsalty, I have seen that your editing skills have been improved. I hope you reach your next mile stone of 1 million subscribers.

In this video you did not really mention the main reason for it's delay well enough. The main reason for its delay was Hypixel Studios having to swap engines and rebuild the game from scratch and the fact that they released the announcement trailer way too early into development. Swapping game engines also meant that they had to swap out, train and hire their employees.

And then Vintage Story came out, feeling like a true unique fanmade successor to Minecraft without feeling like it's just a minecraft clone

[YourLocalSip]

I am literally Graduating in 2025 since 6 years, like what.
I've grown up so hard.
YET I still am really hype for Hytale!

[jkbtw]

people might not remember but hytale trailer got the attention on the whole mc community from popularmmos to technoblade not just the minigame community the whole community of mc

[duckstyle]

The expectation of mid 2025 is realistic in a way. Since recently Hytale got public more and more. Even giving a talk recently at Unwrap Festival in Belgium, about the way they are programming Hytale in a way that is highly beneficial to the modding community. The information in that talk and the fact they even came out and give that talk there, tells me that they are nearing the final phases of development I would say.

Also, the fact they went radio silent makes sense to me, since you can't keep a hype going for like 5-6 years non-stop. So going radio silent and waiting till closer to release makes sense, so they can recreate the hype again. And the talk and recently more updates from hytale, only support this.

[nebylicza]

The fact Hypixel even started with Java is like… Didn’t you guys learn anything from Minecraft?

[Echomage]

Kinda reminds me of the long baulders gate 3 dev cycle, so either they'll actually pull this off and it'll be amazing or the game will get cancelled for taking too long, hopefully the'll take a hint from bg3 and do a limited long term open beta to generate a community

3:10 this is hilarious. Client-side anticheat's purpose is to annoy exploit devs and make the game impossible to play for a large userbase, not stop cheating. Server-side anticheat is what's actually effective, if you do it properly, and Minecraft servers have one of the best server-side anticheats.

[sekhetbast-ra]

Solid video, great production values. I think you said some good and fair things, too. I have one thing to say: I'm comically old, and I remember waiting nearly thirty years for Baldur's Gate 3 to come out. I may well have given up on that game ever coming out before you were born. And yet, when it finally showed up? What we got was absolutely worth the wait. It's not exactly the same situation, but as disappointed as I have been with the long wait for Hytale? I think we'll get something good someday. I just hope I'm still here to see it - I don't have another thirty year wait in me!

Why have i gotten 2 hytale flashbangs this week yet havent heard anything sbout it in like the past year since then

[craftingnerf]

Seeing as Hytale rewrote their entire engine in C++ instead of Java
I can see why it took them +2 years to do it

they had to retrain all of their devs on C++ (and all the memory management that they'd need to do) (as someone who programs, C++ is very different than Java)
and rewrite all of their old code (probably several thousand lines of code at a minimum (prob closer to minimum of 40 thousand lines give or take)
and the amount of code they have to rewrite is dependent on the features

everything from the rendering engine (Lighting, blocks, players, mobs, etc) to the Modding environment (3D modeler, scripting (I just hope it isn't Lua), Texture editor, possibly more), and then the actual playable game
They'd have to rewrite their server/client programs in C++ (although they could technically keep the server in Java if they keep the same data structures)
I'm probably missing a lot of stuff (IDK how game development works entirely, I'm still in College)

TLDR: They'd have to rewrite everything in C++, and teach the devs who didn't know it (probably not that many) on C++

I was 17, now I'm almost 25 and we still don't have Hytale... I really was SO HYPED when the trailer droped... now i'm just hoping it releases
