After evaluating multiple offers, we’ve reached an agreement to return Hytale to @simon_hypixel, giving this community its best shot at experiencing a revised version of the game. Wishing the team the best of luck for what’s ahead.
Huge thanks to Riot for working with me to make this happen. They wanted what’s best for players, and that’s for us to eventually play the game.
This game has always been close to my heart, and I’m excited to bring it back home.
Real talk: Hytale isn’t some polished AAA release waiting in the wings. It’s messy. It’s janky. And there’s a lot of work to be done.
My plan? Get it out to you as soon as possible. No more waiting. You’ll get to play it, rough edges and all.
It won’t be perfect on day one. My hope is that together, we’ll shape it into something truly special.
Thanks for believing in Hytale. Time to get to work.
Follow @Hytale for updates.

Monsters can be great allies in combat but also in your farm!
Still testing the energy system for monsters. Any ideas about other interesting limitations for the farm?

Finished Yumi And The Nightmare Painter. Liked the relationship between the main characters and how it feels slightly FFX (one of the inspirations for the book) but really disliked the ending/final boss of the book, it felt really artificial to me.
Back again with Baten Kaitos! Such an original card combat system and great aesthetics
The port works great, specially loading times and QOL changes like disabling encounters or removing combat turn summaries. I just feel Nintendo has not invested much in marketing for it

• only applies to 2023.x LTS or later
• TOS will be per-unity version, no more retroactive changes
• 2.5% rev share OR based on "number of unique users" as self-reported. sales is an acceptable metric for this
• no more splash screen on unity personal

Still amazed by how a tough encounter in AC 6 becomes much easier by:
- Trying more vertical tactics
- Trying a new AC build
Not only prevents players from being in a safe but repetitive strategy for several hours, but also encourages them to explore the content in the game
