If you ever wondered how we shot the Hytale trailer, it was with Machinima tool, our in-house experimental cinematic feature.
This is an example of what could be done with it - 99% in engine

You cannot technically explain yourself out of UX issues, please stop trying.
So often I see users bring up UX issues, and programmers then tell them how much work it was to create their product.
It doesn't matter how much work it was!! What matters is if your target audience uses it or not.

Plan for 2026:
- finding a new pixel art job (hello, please hire me)
- putting stuff on my koffee page (asset packs, wallpapers, etc.)
- streaming
- finding schools to teach pixel art again
- more festivals and events
- hopefully more personal projects and art
- having an online shop again

#Hytale is coming out the 13th of January.
This is unprecedented after being cancelled, and I still struggle believing it.
The project is the sum of so many creative spirits, like @oscargarvin.bsky.social , who was always able to put tears in my eyes with his songs. Like this one for example..🥺

Proud of #Hytale community members taking a stand against Gen AI and its countless unethical uses - it's harder than ever to be an artist in 2025, but we keep your heads up. No billionaires or Ai thieves can kill our creativity. Human Art is what makes this world worth living in.
