Apparently we're adding "something" related to fire in one of the upcoming @hytale.bsky.social update. I hope kweebec villages won't be too affected by it.

#hytaleNPCfacts, the Tetras bird is actually inspired from the ยซย Grand Tetras des Vosgesย ยป, a protected bird from my area of France. Considering how the real bird behaves, it was a great candidate to play with funny interactionsโ€ฆ @hytale.bsky.social

from Slikey:
We are already working on a patch for bugs. That will hit the pre-release patchline once we have a good chunk of fixes.
We are working on auth issues. Please make sure your time is synced and also saw a report about Norwegian OS language causing issues.
Thank you for all the reports <3

We dream of that but it's soooo much work to do a font that is universally supported (and stays free for everyone). It's not a priority but maybe in the future!

Key art from the game Hytale featuring two Ferans, a faction within the game. The Ferans are fox-like in appearance and wear animal-shaped skull masks. The Feran on the left is wielding some form of staff, whereas the Feran on the right is weilding a bone-like sword.

Initially, Cybertale was a "joke": I quickly sketched a minigame idea as a poster for fun.
Here is the image I made (very rough!).

But we thought it would be really interesting to prove
@hytale.bsky.social
style could work outside medieval fantasy, so we made a proof of concept ingame!

This Hytale custom map was built by @propzie.bsky.social and I during an internal mod jam a few years ago.
We created some blocks, weather, prefabs - that we might soon share.

Note that this video doesn't feature the lighting fixes we have been doing in the past few weeks. #Hytale

I really want to thank Simon for saving the project. And collateraly, saving my sanity. I trust him and his vision for the game. The guy is working day and night with the team to get this game out โค๏ธ
