Hytale, the highly anticipated open-world adventure and role-playing game, has been developed by a team made up of modders and members of the Minecraft community, which gives it a deep capacity for modification. This approach has allowed some fans to explore the possibilities that the game has to offer before its official release, scheduled for 2024.
A game so customizable that it runs Doom
One of the most surprising achievements comes from the modder known as ‘tr7zw’, who has managed to make Doom run inside Hytale before the game is available to the public. Using a mod called Landmark, which facilitates fast travel within Hytale, tr7zw has adapted a complete port in Java of the classic from 1993, allowing the legendary shooter to operate within the new environment.
The mod, although innovative, has certain limitations. Tr7zw has commented that the experience is somewhat rudimentary, with a rate of 20 frames per second and a noticeable input lag. “It feels a bit like a broken keyboard,” explained the modder, reflecting the challenges of running such an iconic game on an unconventional platform.
This phenomenon is not new within the gamer community, which has documented countless attempts to run Doom on various and strange platforms, from the BIOS of a motherboard to Lego toys. Hytale, with its modular design, has proven to be an addition to this long list of successes in the field of modification.
With each new achievement in the modification of Hytale, the anticipation for its release grows. Many wonder what else the modders will be able to achieve once the game is in the hands of the public. In the meantime, the curious can follow the community updates and eagerly await the arrival of this innovative title.
