The mere existence of Hytale is ambitious in itself, since the Minecraft-inspired sandbox game was saved from cancellation by original studio Hypixel, with a planned release this month. But after one fan literally dreamed of a version with trees that would actively grow fruit over and over, such a mechanic may now be among the aspirations of the developers themselves.
It all starts with a tweet from YouTuber and streamer Prowl8413. "Had a dream last night that I got to play Hytale early and discovered fruit trees that would regrow its fruit," they said. "Simon [Collins-Laflamme, Hytale director and owner] tell me this is a thing."
But then, a sliver of hope: "Actually," says Collins-Laflamme in a follow-up post, over a week later. No elaboration or further context is given. Prowl8413 tries prodding for more information, but nothing is forthcoming.
Thus, the only logical conclusion we can make is that Hytale is going to be full of trees whose fruit we can devour over and over on our merry adventures. There will be many of them, delivering all sorts of delicious, refreshing nibbles.
That might be a stretch, but it certainly sounds like Collins-Laflamme has found a way to make this happen. We'll have to see when Hytale arrives in early access, which is due on January 13.
