Hytale has been going bigger and bigger with each day that passes, now they seem to be hiring developers to do some work on mods and core features for the game too. Not even Minecraft has attempted to do something like this, which already puts Hytale in a bright spot compared to the game that keeps sinking further on Microsoft’s Microslop. We need big players to fight off those who don’t support the customer in any way, so seeing Hypixel studio get bigger with better talents handpicked from the community sounds like an epic win to me.
Hytale gets bigger
Not only is the studio pushing for people to keep modding the game and making new things, they just pick up the best of the best to add them to the developer team. Some people are very cautious however, as they know they are probably paying them way below what the games industry often pays. At the same time, people are also against this because they just hate Hytale, but it is important to listen to those who are skeptic about it regardless. I lean to the side of trusting that Hypixel Studio won’t be pushing for anything weird and respects the people they hired.
I also hope that the payment the modding community members get is life changing in some way, with the opportunity to move on into bigger fields and better positions in the future. The gaming industry is in a very complex spot right now, so whatever that can help relief the stress of its current state then I will take it. The fact that anyone who mods has the possibility to be chosen for a working position is already a boon that many games wish they had, hopefully more games start taking an example from Hytale and implement something similar.
