But for some reason or annother, they have yet to communicate any specific details on this matter. In other words, Hytale allegedly has a clear development roadmap to launch, and this is what they're using to estimate how long until the game will be released. But at the same time it hand-waves the entire ordeal. It implies they have a clear path to beta and that they have crossed several items off their 'to-do' list.

This line stood out to me because it says a lot without saying anything at all. The redevelopment of the engine is proceeding quickly and we're hitting our internal milestones. A lot of bad news to be sure but still an improvement in transparancy.īut there was one line that really stood out to me: *Hiring actually takes a lot of time and doubling or tripling your dev team size in just a couple years is a very difficult process that many companies dont survive due to dilution of their company culture and loss of direction.įirst off, I feel like this blogpost was a step in the right direction, attempting to clearly and effectively communicate what's been happening behind the scenes. TBH almost anything would be a better explanation of such a fundamental change this far into development than 'we want to release on all platforms'.Īnyway, thats just my two cents. There's no way to know any of this for sure, of course. When they failed* to do that, Riot said 'thats okay little hytale, we have devs we can send to you'.īut those devs didnt know C# or didnt want to use it for a game so they managed to convince the now massively outnumbered original dev team to switch to a language they preferred. What I suspect has happened since they got bought out is that Riot told them they need to hire X dozens (50+) of people in the next year. I couldnt find info about teamfight tactics or legends of runeterra so let me know if yall can find that. Valorant is in unreal 4, which is also based in C++. So I started thinking what other reasons could they have to switch, and then I realize 'wait, what is LoL written in?' and from what I can tell it seems to be C++. The downsides they mentioned were surmountable. That smacks of incredible mis-manamagement to me.

This is just conjecture but as a software dev, I can tell you that while C++ can very much be more performant than some other languages, it is not nearly enough of a benefit to justify reworking the entire project 7 years in.
