After miracle revival, Hytale head “now assembling a dedicated team” to satisfy fans of a key genre that’s only grown since the Minecraft-inspired game’s reveal: cozy and farming games like Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing

Hypixel has formed a specialized team for Hytale, focusing on cozy gaming elements like cooking, farming, and caring for voxel animals. The game has faced a tumultuous development journey, including a sale to Riot Games and a recent reacquisition by its original owners. Hytale's gameplay will feature a cooking system that provides unique buffs instead of a traditional hunger system, with activity-based meals, combat meals, feeding NPC villages, quality systems, and food mastery. The game will also include a tribute to the late Minecraft player Technoblade, acknowledging his impact on the community and the developers. Hytale is aiming for an early access launch, with progress being made despite an uncertain timeline.

Ukraine’s Youth Robbed of Childhood Innocence

The conflict in Ukraine has led to dire conditions, particularly for children in frontline villages. Russian forces are advancing, and the landscape is marked by trenches and minefields. Schools are closed, and children participate in online arts and crafts programs supported by UNICEF. The nonprofit Common Man for Ukraine, co-founded by Susan Mathison, has delivered over 4 million pounds of food and essential supplies to those in need, covering over 20,000 miles across the country. Their mission includes providing trauma counseling retreats for children who have lost their fathers. A recent humanitarian convoy faced air raid sirens while delivering supplies to mothers and children in a frontline village. A comic book found in an abandoned school illustrated the dangers children face, highlighting their resilience amidst the conflict. The organization plans to continue its efforts with a thirteenth convoy scheduled for August.
