Hytale Adds Animal Taming And More In Another Ambitious Update

Here is a 191-word summary of the key points from the Hytale news article: Hytale, the highly anticipated sandbox game, has released its third major update just a month after launching in early access. The update introduces several significant new features, including animal taming, where players can now tame and interact with some of the game's friendlier creatures. Tamed animals can be petted, fed, and in some cases even milked or mounted. The update also adds a new map marker system, allowing players to create and share custom markers on the in-game map. Hytale has also expanded its localization options, with Brazilian-Portuguese and Russian now available. Other additions include a sickle tool for easier crop harvesting, a new grass spreading system, and a dynamic fire spread mechanic (currently limited to creative mode). The developers have also made various combat, UI, and quality-of-life improvements, as well as optimizations and bug fixes. Looking ahead, Hytale plans to release updates "quickly and frequently" during early access, while also working on larger content drops that will progress the game's main story arc. The studio has been able to expand its team, drawing talent directly from the game's active modding community.
