Hytale founder Simon Collins-Laflamme has warned fans that the long-delayed sandbox RPG's upcoming $20 early access launch will be built on a "Frankensteined" mix of old code and hundreds of prototypes, admitting it is "not good enough" and "barely" features configured progression. Despite predicting backlash and long-term financial losses, he says the low price and gradual rebuilding effort are intended to secure community support while he slowly steers the resurrected project toward a fully realized release.
