Dear Hytale Community,
as many of you might have read by now, Hytale has been officially cancelled. Our heartfelt compassion goes out to those that were looking forward to its release, as well as to all the developers working at Hypixel Studios.
As a former Hytale developer myself, allow me to openly invite everyone left unsatisfied by this news to try out Vintage Story! While it may not be quite the same experience you would have hoped, do keep in mind that our game allows a great range of customization options to reduce some of the more difficult settings that Vintage Story ships by default.
In fact, if you are one of the former developers or a highly passionate Hytale fan with extensive modding skills, do write us at jobs@vintagestory.at. Perhaps we can put together a small sub-project within our Team of developers to bring out an additional game mode for Vintage Story that can at least in part deliver on the vision of what Hytale set out to become. I could picture this as a mostly independent work group developing a new playstyle or an external team that uses our extensive modding api with funding from us.
Due to the massive success Vintage Story has become and with the right leadership, I believe this would be something very achievable!
For our existing player base: Don't worry, the default experience of Vintage Story will stay true to its vision and updates will come at the same pace.
[Update, June 26] We've already received over 20 applications, including several high profile ones. This seems to look promising to me. We'll collect more applications for another week and then begin processing them - for all applicants, please stay tuned!
Cheers,
Tyron
