Hytale modder with 5 years on Minecraft data packs & maps, 2 years modding SRB2 Persona,
looking to make my future working on Hytale.

@itsneildev @HytaleModding alrighty, fair enough. I'll have to be very care with what I choose to make, then, since it's only me and I haven't got a ton of time.

[Catcocomics @Catcocomics]

@HytaleModding Oh, delightful! Now I can make my legally distinct Pegasus Boots actually increase running speed instead of just being a massive Stamina capacity boost.

[Catcocomics @Catcocomics]

@Hytale @HytaleModding Another chance to make something of myself, and this time I know better than to burn 120gb of video data halving my development time for Youtube.

[Catcocomics @Catcocomics]

@Simon_Hypixel would it be too much for me to ask how the hiring frenzy is going on your end?
The silent anticipation of waiting to see if I'll be getting any acknowledgement on my job applications is really starting to eat at me.

[Catcocomics @Catcocomics]

@Simon_Hypixel Ok genuinely, I can't get the hammers to break/damage solid blocks at all. What ever is controlling what blocks a tool can attempt to damage clearly isn't the Tool field in Functionality or anything else I can find on the tools in the Asset Editor.

[Catcocomics @Catcocomics]

@Simon_Hypixel Just got done adding a new weapon type today.
I got lazy and reused the Longsword player animations for it, but I think it still feels fairly unique in practice.

Might let it actually damage/break stone blocks later.

[Catcocomics @Catcocomics]

@AvlonWizard Ranged attacks on my shield? You mean the lantern's offhand attacks?

[Catcocomics @Catcocomics]

I've finally gotten around to making custom player animations for my Lantern off-hand weapon.
It was a good few hours of work *for a single weapon*, and I'd be lying if I said it was wholly original (based on the Torch animation set).

Here's kind of a collection of recordings for my Sloc Gorm (core) mod and the adventure map that depends on it.
I've had to slow down fairly significantly this past month to deal with dental issues, but I'm back in action now.

I'm most prominently focused on combat and progression currently; there's a lot of foundation I'm missing now that I've moved Tale of the Sunsword's development over from Minecraft, and I need to get back to building my map's environment again soon.

Tomorrow I might get a hammer weapon modeled that will be kind of like the mace weapon, but I'll look into letting it break blocks possibly.

None of this has any custom code; I've not gotten anywhere near far enough with learning JDK software for that, but I'll continue doing the best I can with Asset editing.

[Catcocomics @Catcocomics]

@Simon_Hypixel Applied to both roles, doesn't matter to me which I get, I'm used to doing everything for my projects.

I don't have anything overwhelmingly amazing to show in Hytale yet, but I know I can make a difference and that this is the path I want to take in life.

[Catcocomics @Catcocomics]

@BrackenStrike @Simon_Hypixel best of luck to us both.

[Catcocomics @Catcocomics]

@Simon_Hypixel wow, while I can definitely see the Hytale identity showing through these, the much greater sense of pre-Bedrock era Minecraft adventure maps in these is giving me a touch of nostalgic longing.

[Catcocomics @Catcocomics]

@Prowl8413 I don't care what role I'm assigned, I just want in.
I want to be part of what I view as the correct path forward, and I want my continued existence to be supported by that same endeavor (I can't sustain my own free labor much longer).

[Catcocomics @Catcocomics]

Anyone else feel like bows need a little bit more to them?
I decided to sprinkle a bit of realism into archery by giving them a rapid timing element and making them cost stamina to use (in addition to arrows), but nailing the timing drastically increases their power.

The idea is that you want to draw and release in one fluid motion (the timing will be better telegraphed when I make the custom animation for it, the release window is about a third of a second).

Release too soon, and the arrow barely flies.
Hold too long, and you'll exhaust your muscles.

No more cheap Hollywood 30 lbs prop-bows for me.

The last thing I leave you all for my adventure map before the contest closes. #Hytale #Hytalemodding

I should note that as I was rushing to replace the Sapphirine Star's view bubble that used to be solid ice blocks, I blue-screened while loading chunks, came back in front of the southern orchard with splices of mountain chunks scattered everywhere.
I love safe world back-ups.

[Catcocomics @Catcocomics]

I couldn't bear to wait any longer for a see-through glass to be added, so I did it myself, now I can see out the Sapphirine Star's cockpit bubble.

Getting close to the point where I'll want to add in my own creatures to the map, enjoy the South Silverfoot Crypt and its typical Slocgorm archetecture.

@Hytale Hey, am I still allowed to update my contest submission before the final deadline? Some things like the gameplay video I may need to change out later this month since I haven't been able to focus much on the gameplay itself when I still need to build the explorable areas.
