16 days and 4,000 kilometers later we crossed China. We ate like people in China, smoked like people in China, and spoke like absolute idiots never before seen in China.
This trip was harder than last years. Getting sick, navigating the magical 207, and failing to say the word hotel every night all the while referring to myself as “p*ssy burger” took its toll
I’m lucky to be able to do this cat line with Michael. It’s not easy to find someone you can spend everyday and every night without some tensions brewing- but I could hangout with that dude everyday until I die and never get sick of him.
A big thank you to my crew who are the only reason anyone was able to follow our journey and turn the hours of chaos into an actual series. Editors, translators, producers, fixers, assistants, designers, a dude named Li, and many more people are the reason tip2tip exists.
A special thanks to Cam, Dan, Alicia, Dave, Lucky, and Zhang Wei who followed us in an RV for 16 days <3
Finally, shoutout everyone in China the people there were unforgettably nice to two white colored foreigners riding motorcycles across China 🇨🇳😄✊
Watching LPL In bed with my dog and a frosty while my girlfriend does her nails makes me think this last year of mental torture feel worth it all along
Hytale early access date is now set for January 13, 2026.
This is true early access, meaning it’s still very much unfinished and broken, but you have my and the team's commitment to make Hytale the game we’ve always wanted it to be. The game isn't good yet; eventually, it will be. If you don’t feel comfortable pre-ordering or participating in Early Access, please don’t.
Hytale and Hypixel Studios are independent again, and we are returning to the original vision from the 2018 trailer. Because we went back to an older game build from 4 years ago that was now meant for prototyping, some parts of the game will feel behind, but our momentum is strong, and we’re working fast to make this into the game we all dreamed of.
Modding and creative tools are in a decent state; however, they’re not where we want them long term. That being said, they’re ready for players who want to create content on day 1. This is a good moment for modders, server owners, and creators to step in early! They will play a significant role in Hytale’s future.
The first impression will be rough, but the path ahead matters more. More details are coming soon. Follow our social channels for updates, and we hope to see you on January 13, 2026.
Thank you, everyone, for your support. Hytale has been through a long journey, and soon, we will be home.
