Hytale blends the scope of a sandbox game with the depth of a role-playing experience, immersing players in a procedurally generated world filled with towering structures and deep, rewarding dungeons.
Built with creativity at its core, the engine enables everything from block-by-block construction to advanced scripting and customization through powerful, accessible tools.
Over 1.5 years, I was actively involved in research and development, contributing to both gameplay and game design, as well as the creation of level design tools. My work included voxel-based tools, shaders, in-game video systems, pixel art painting features, sound ambiance systems, and the design and implementation of an in-game C# scripting system with real-time compilation, enabling rapid iteration and advanced customization directly within the game.

Big project started
In October 2015, I joined the initial development team working on Hytale, composed of contributors from around the world, each bringing a high level of expertise.
Responsible for exploring new gameplay ideas, I worked to make the game—then still at the prototype stage—more dynamic, modular, open to external content, and, above all, more interactive in a multiplayer context.
This led me to design and implement a range of experimental and innovative systems and interactions, including real-time voxel editing tools (with a prefab system), in-game pixel art painting, character facial expressions, first-person block visibility, in-game video integration, dynamic ambient audio based on environment, water interaction for blocks, C# scripting tools for level designers, animated block destruction, and interactive mechanisms such as pressure plates, buttons, levers, and doors.
