wasn't feasible for us. There have been many attempts to make blockgames in those engines, and I think trying to fit a square peg in a round hole (forgive the pun) just isn't something that results in the 'comfy feel' that block games NEED to have. So we chose the harder route.
Our origin story is that of a minecraft server but we're evolving fast. For context on scope we've built everything in the project from the ground up. The engine - rendering, 3D modelling tools, the UI tech. Going down the unity / unreal engine route for a block based game just
We've said throughout it will be ready when its ready - and we do mean that - our ultimate goal of the project is that it's not just for us. It's for players and content creators to create what flights of fancy they can conjure up - and that takes time.
Rather than put the team face first with the barrel of a 2020 promise we've decided that we're much more comfortable to say our expectation is 2021. Hytale is a 5-10+ year project that doesn't end with the release of the game. It's a marathon not a sprint.
On a personal note re: Release date. This was very difficult information for the team to break
We fully expected to be able to ship something in 2019, but it wasn't to be - part of waiting so long to relay that information was us doing what we could to make 2019 happen.
We dropped 4 different updates on
1) A general update on to the development of the game and its expected release window (2021 :( ) 2) Progress on graphics (and a more extensive gameplay clip on that one!) 3) Four new OST Tracks 4) Some more recent work.

Flight attendant: Is there a doctor on this flight?

I am not even mad. His mind suffered so much, it's like a algorithm/monetization training.

Well this is a new error message.
