Hytale was a sandbox game under development at Hypixel Studios, where I worked as a senior software engineer. During my time in this role, I worked on various aspects of the game, including gameplay features, UI, and the technology behind Hytale’s NPC behaviours.
It was built on a proprietery voxel engine developed in-house using Flecs, a C/C++ ECS library. If you’d like to read more about the tech, you can find links to the official technical posts below.

You can read more about the game on the official blog.
