This is the first time we have gotten actual uncut gameplay of Hytale, and it looks great.
Some things I noticed
- Each weapon type has a special skill that gets charged when dealing damage
- Trees break instantly when breaking its trunk
- You can hold a torch in your hand to light the area around you while moving
- You can climb up blocks and roll when landing from a high place to avoid fall damage
- There’s a detailed map you can open at any time
- The last few minutes tease mod development tools. You can edit assets, models, worldgen, create prefabs, spawn NPCs, etc from a dedicated menu in the game
Just play Vintage story at this point. The development of this has been such a dumpster fire in terms of how the project has been handled from a top level from the very beginning that I don‘t have any hopes it will release in a decent state under its new old owner.
This is not true, development has stalled the past few years because Riot demanded they port it to a new engine, which was why it got indefinitely delayed and eventually cancelled
Things were moving well before that. The original developers took back control of the project and are back on track
