FlareUKCS Posted June 27, 2025 Report Posted June 27, 2025 I hope Hytale gets on its feet , but Tyron asked some devs come on board, or use the VS mod API to make a Hytale mode. Now its been turned into Tyron gave away the VS engine, no he didn't, and Steve said he will put 25 million dollars into Hytale, no he didn't he said he may IF his family said ok... jeez imagine the chat, hi honey I want to put 25 million dollars into a game thats already failed. a company tried to bankroll it and failed... sorry but the idea of Hytale as a game is dead. Tyron has offered a option you can make a mod that is Hytale on his engine. I really want Hytale to be a separate game, a game that is unique but the original vision is dead, but Tyron has offered a chance you can mod Hytale in his game. This is not a new Hytale, its a mod that can be Hytale, and I hope it can be done but please Tyron has not given the VS engine away, or made Hytale the game... he has offered the same as what modders have, a means to adjust the game to be Hytale... and hey I would be happy to try that mod. Tyron is not giving the engine away, nor is he pivoting to Hytale, the man already gave up on that vision, Tyron is offering an option to mod the VS game to be Hytale, and that is it. I would love a Hytale mod, but no its not a free engine giveaway.

He made the biggest M word server ever, and he sold the previous studio to a major gaming company. I doubt money's an issue. 1
FlareUKCS Posted June 27, 2025 Author Report Posted June 27, 2025 It aint about money, hell he could buy Anego (hope not) but really its about will he make that game ? I think not but he can help make that mod, and show the world that mod is worth. I mean VS was a mod, based on a mod... and that mad lad made a engine and a full game instead, respect. I just want to make sure people dont think the offer is a free engine, its a option to make a mod on that engine, and dont think Steve will toss in $25 million, he is thinking about it. Rather just think of Hytale as a mod of VS, with adjustments to VS that work with the game.. the rest may be in the mod.
LadyWYT Posted June 27, 2025 Report Posted June 27, 2025 Honestly, I forgot Hytale was even trying to exist until I saw the news about the shutdown. I think a handful of people may be trying to salvage it, but I couldn't say for certain. In any case, I'm not sure that I would call all the hype about the news "a bit much". A lot of influencers are jumping on that news bandwagon right now for clicks since it's the hot new thing, sure, but a lot of people were also really excited about the potential that Hytale was trying to offer. It's rather understandable that when the game is canceled seemingly out of nowhere, that those who were looking forward to it will be incredibly disappointed, especially those who contributed to the development. As for Vintage Story getting offered as a "free game engine"...I have no idea where that notion came, and agree with what @FlareUKCS said on that matter. Someone ambitious could probably make a mod or modlist for Vintage Story that closely mimics what Hytale was supposed to be, but I really doubt Tyron would just give away his own creation. 1 hour ago, FlareUKCS said: sorry but the idea of Hytale as a game is dead. Hytale may never be a game, but I wouldn't write off the idea as "dead". Ideas are difficult to kill, and I'm sure someone will take inspiration from what Hytale was trying to do and try to bring their version of it to life, though likely not under the name "Hytale". 1

As with most other things legal that don't end up going through a court decision, usually not many people know the true terms, and, usually, the terms include keeping that quiet.
FlareUKCS Posted June 27, 2025 Author Report Posted June 27, 2025 My comment is that if Hytale became a mod, I would support it, I wont be happy if It was a mod that overtook VS, I have no issue it was a mod that did its own stuff... that I can live with, but the game is not a mod that takes over VS, make a Hytale mod and make it cool... I would check it out. I am just a VS fan, dont step on some toes... make your stuff, but I like the VS stuff is all. I want to play VS at the end of the game, I just want VS.

Tyron said himself that if any former Hytale developers wanted to join anego, they’d have them make said Hytale mod. HOWEVER, there has been no mention of working with the Hytale founder on this project; he’s doing his own thing, presumably with actual Hytale infrastructure.

Ah yeah, I somehow missed that detail when I first read the post. Oops!
MattyK Posted June 28, 2025 Report Posted June 28, 2025 I'm struggling to put two and two together with this thread... Is it a concern thread, outrage, or just venting? Tyron left Hypixel over a conflict of vision (As per the Oscillascape interview), I doubt he'd let them integrate on a level you are suggesting (Where the Hytale mode becomes the dominant way to experience Vintage Story). Those devs that join are likely looking to pick up any work they can, as the games industry is vicious in how hard it is to find new work that isn't setting down roots and starting your own project. I very much doubt this is some 'coup' to turn Vintage Story into Hytale. That and Hytale itself was styled after adventure megapacks for Minecraft which are already known for some pretty lofty expectations. It's safe to say that the spirit of Hytale lives on in Minecraft. 2

You can already mod the graphics, interactions, story,... well, the whole nine yards. The game is set up to allow you to disable the core Vintage Story assets. Why? What would there be left, other than other mods? That used to be called a total conversion, and he's bent over backwards to make that as easy as he can.
Facethief Posted June 28, 2025 Report Posted June 28, 2025 (edited) As an aside, if the Hytale expansion (we should call it the HE, it’d be funny) gets made, it’ll be one of the first total conversion mods made in a game designed for total conversion mods based on a total conversion mod, based on a game based on total conversion mods for a different game. Edited June 28, 2025 by Facethief Gotta tell the full story 1

I was talking about the social integration, of letting them take over Vintage Story. Yes, they could make a total conversion but that's besides the point.

There's no reason there could not be a discussion forum for whatever the Successor of Hytale is. As with any other total or largely total conversion. Galactic Story or Undersea Story or Toy Story or whatever. 1
