The Doc Demand Show 👨🏾‍🦽👨🏾‍🍳

Excited to see the winners on this one! As I've mentioned before, we'll be watching closely for hiring purposes. In the coming weeks, we'll review every mod that did well and reach out to creators to see if they are interested in joining us! We're actively looking for great world designers, NPC devs, gameplay engineers, and more, so this contest lines up perfectly for the community and for us. My plan for growing the Hytale team is to mostly hire from the community. If you're a modder, your chances are high. It's that simple. I don't really care about your degrees, and I don't care if you worked at a triple-A studio or not. I care about the work, the craft, and the passion. And being a Hytale modder specifically means a lot: it shows you already understand the game's vision and potential, which is a big plus. BTW, we're also deep on the in-game modding browser and hope to have something out in the coming months, so players can try any of these mods with a simple 1-click install! A lot of modding compatibility work is landing alongside it, for both modders and players. Shared source, better versioning, documentation, improvements, and much more. On top of that, with the upcoming friend and server lists, everything is shaping up to be a great platform for easily sharing mods/worlds with friends! And while all of that is going on, a large part of the team is still working on engine changes, rendering, adventure mode, bug fixes, and so on. A lot is happening in the background. A rework at this scale takes time, but production is going very well; it's even hard to keep track! I'll probably put out a bigger vision post soon, now that we've brought some key people onto the team in the past few weeks, so you can see where we're going with all of this!
