PayPalHytale arrives in very Early Access tomorrow with Native Linux support, and the future of it is looking incredibly bright thanks to strong pre-orders.
Speaking on X/Twitter, Hypixel co-founder Simon Collins-Laflamme mentioned:
Pleased to announce that we have officially secured the next two years of development costs through pre-purchases. Combined with my personal commitment of ten years, we are looking very strong for the future ❤️
Thank you all for the support.
Hytale is saved.
We are almost home.
In a previous post, they also mentioned they're expecting to see over 1 million players at the Early Access release, and they've put up the launcher ready for people to download on the official site. For Linux, it comes as a Flatpak package and seems to load up just fine. Not really a good stress-test though, we'll see how their servers actually handle people downloading and logging in. I'm expecting a few fires, even AAA games fall over at release.
Here's how the launcher looks right now anyway:
I have a copy secured and ready for testing tomorrow. Fingers crossed it works well enough on Linux.
That's really great news. After being cancelled by Riot and then acquired back to be an indie game again, I hope it continues to see success.
A day ago they also put up another new video to go over some creative tools:

And a pretty cool gothic castle showcase too:

Speaking on X/Twitter...actually puts me off caring about this game. I know it's shallow, but there it is. I don't care if you're "reaching your audience" - first of all, you're not reaching me, and second of all, you're helping fund and justify the child porn platform.
I wonder what it'll take for genuine brands to realise that association with Musk's toxic hellscape rubs off on them. At least for me.
And this game I'm not familiar with, I guess it looks like a more modern minecraft maybe?
Quoting: JarmerHow hard is it to setup a mastadon or bluesky account?Don't want to be a devil's advocate here, but if you want to target wider audience, Mastodon is out of the game. And Mastodon is sadly even more toxic than X/Twitter. Avoiding "social media" altogether is wiser, in my opinion.

Excited for Hytale tho!
Quoting: NumerfoltIsn't Mastodon designed to be sort of . . . patchy? Different sub-communities could be very different.Quoting: AsciiWolfAnd Mastodon is sadly even more toxic than X/Twitter.Oh, that's interesting, I haven't encounterd much toxicity on Mastodon so far 🤔

Also, Mastodon sometimes makes me think of the "morphin' time" thing from Power Rangers. I suppose there's people that'd default to the metal band too. XD
