Terraria State of the Game - February 2024



Greetings Terrarians!

We hope that 2024 has been treating you right so far. Terraria development progress has ramped back up quickly, with productivity improving by leaps and bounds. We certainly do not want to jump to any conclusions here, but we still maintain that 2024 may be the best year for Terraria yet! Yes indeed, the team has a real spring in their step you might say. Well, I suppose we should hop right to it and dive into this State of the Game, right? Otherwise, before you know it, spring will have sprung.

Let's jump right in head-first, shall we?



PC - RE-LOGIC

[h2]TERRARIA 1.4.5 - THE ADVENTURE THUS FAR[/h2]

What started as a "quick and short" update to add our side of the Terraria x Dead Cells crossover content has morphed into a much larger update that we have been working on for over a year now. The team is currently going over more plans and ideas in regards to what else might make it into 1.4.5, timelines, etc. That said, we thought it might be a good time to go over some of the highlights of spoilers released during the development of 1.4.5. This may not capture them all... but it definitely grabs some of our faves. Enjoy!

Of course, our good friends over at the Official Terraria Wiki keep a running list of upcoming features in case you want to dive deeper.

[h3]OFFICIAL TERRARIA WIKI UPCOMING FEATURES LIST[/h3]

---


Terraria x Dead Cells crossover content (this is just the tip of that iceberg!)

---


A plethora of revamped banners are coming your way in 1.4.5 - we think these look so much better!


Boss Trophies are in on the makeover act as well!

---


Be the life of the party! Shimmer your friends for giggles with the Shimmer Gun!

---


New languages are coming for Terraria 1.4.5 - including Korean and Japanese!

In case you missed it as well, we are currently working with the Community towards polishing the existing localizations - this was a huge success in the 1.3 era, so we are hoping for the best here again!


---


Revamped Character Creation screen and the all-new World Seed Menu!

---





Speaking of World Seeds, the team shared that new World Seeds are on the way - via World Seed Combos that have the chance to trigger unique experiences such as the Vampire Seed! What combos will you discover?

---




We have whipped up some new ways to enhance your Summoner exeperience.

---



More Transformations are on the way - including the Velociraptor and Bat!

---

Something fishy is definitely going on with these changes to fishing.

---

---


The Axearang - slice and dice those nasty trees from a safe distance!

---

[previewyoutube=kt77BbP798c;full][/previewyoutube]Picking up your drops and placing them in chests is SO 1.4.4...

---




Slimevolution? What is this madness?!?

---


Throughout 2023, we saw Crossplay creep ever closer - though this is going to be a post-1.4.5 addition (if we are successful!), we would be remiss to not share these again!

---

We hope you enjoyed this quick overview of the spoilers thus far from 1.4.5 - of course, this doesn't even cover everything that was spoiled. There is also plenty more to come as well as things that you will have to discover on your own when the update comes out later this year.

Terraria Makeship Series - Silver Armor



Greetings Terrarians!

We hope that everyone that was interested had a chance to pick up the Terraria x Makeship Hallowed Armor Plush late last year. Those should be shipping out just as soon as Makeship completes manufacturing, etc. In the meantime, we are pleased to reveal the second in our plush armor series with Makeship - Silver Armor!

The subject of Terraria's box/cover art for many years, Silver Armor has always been an iconic set - since the very early days of Terraria itself!


Casting a shimmer all around from the sun glinting off of its polished surfaces, Silver Armor is the best way to adventure in style early on in the world of Terraria!

Taken straight from the iconic Terraria cover art, the Terraria Silver Armor plush includes a Silver Pickaxe as well as a Silver Bow perfect for keeping enemies at bay as you delve deeper in search of ore and treasure. You can always strap the one you are not using to your back for safe keeping.

We think it looks pretty awesome - and we hope that you agree. To place your order or to find out more, click the banner/image above or the link below! We are already early in planning on what armor will be next... as well as other ideas.

[h2]TERRARIA SILVER ARMOR PLUSH - ORDER NOW![/h2]



HOW MAKESHIP CAMPAIGNS WORK
Makeship utilizes a unique method for determining whether or not a plush gets manufactured and shipped out to players. Essentially, each campaign goes out as a preorder for a set period of time - for this campaign, that will be 21 days - and if the plush orders meet the minimum quantity needed (200), the plush gets made and shipped out to everyone that bought one. If it doesn't hit that level, then no one is out a dime - but sadly, our Silver Armor plush will only ever exist as a concept.

The short version:


  • The Silver Armor Plush will be available for preorder from today through the next 21 days
  • If Makeship receives at least 200 preorders, the plush will be manufactured and shipped to customers
  • If it does not hit that threshhold, then the plush will not be made, everyone gets their money back, and we will hope for better results on our next attempt.




That's pretty much everything to share on this campaign. We really want to see this one be a smashing success - because we think this plush is really cool, and we are really excited to make more armors in the future. Your support here will tell the tale on both fronts. So, if you like what you see and you think the Silver Armor plush might look great in your collection, pick yours up today!

Terraria State of the Game - January 2024



Greetings Terrarians!

2024 is here at last and we feel like it has the potential to be a huge one in the world of Terraria! Just looking at the existing plans for Terraria development on 1.4.5 and then looking one step beyond that into (hopefully) the world of Crossplay, this year has the potential to be the most impactful year for the game and community since the release of Journey's End. Of course, there is lots to do between where we are today and reaching that potential, but our team is fired up and ready to make it happen. We hope each of you enjoy following along with us this year and here's to making 2024 one of the best years for Terraria yet!

Let's get started, shall we?



PC - RE-LOGIC

[h2]TERRARIA 1.4.5 - SLIMEVOLUTION AND AXEARANGS, OH MY![/h2]

What started as a "quick and short" update to add our side of the Terraria x Dead Cells crossover content has morphed into a much larger update that we have been working on for over a year now. The team is currently going over more plans and ideas in regards to what else might make it into 1.4.5, timelines, etc. More on that later. For now, let's take a sneak peek at another of the Tree vs Axe war prizes as well as a bit of slimy goodness!


The Axearang - slice and dice those nasty trees from a safe distance!



Slimevolution? What is this madness?!?

2024 is going to be a great one, we cannot wait to show you more from 1.4.5 in the months to come!

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM



Hello everyone!

The tModLoader team and our amazing community of contributors continue to improve tModLoader. On Feb 1st, 2024 the monthly update release of tModLoader will go live. This month's release mainly contains bug fixes.

This month we've improved support for our Apple Silicon friends, improved GoG compatibility & setup on Unix, and added compatibility for a wider array of language packs.

Modders and users should also keep an eye out for our monthly Steam announcement on the 1st where a complete listing of bug fixes and API changes for this month's release will be listed. The in-game news button on the main menu will direct you to the announcement once it is live.

PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS

Here we are, back again with the latest in regards to development on the Console and Mobile side of the house. One of the focus areas of 1.4.5 has wound up being in the QOL space - ways of making things that might be tedious or cumbersome less so. One great example is the collection and storage of dropped items, be they something like fallen stars or even an AFK farming setup. The team has introduced the Hopper for that very purpose. Shall we see it in action?

Picking up your drops and placing them in chests is SO 1.4.4...

Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME DESIGNER DIARY

---

Hello Terrarians!

Chris here, game developer at Paper Fort Games; Im back with the first Terraria: The Board Game designer diary of 2024. This month, Im going to be talking about our Kickstarter launch date and showcasing some of our WIP artwork for the game!

If you want to sign up for launch info but dont want to read the diary, just visit Get Ready for Terraria: The Board Game!. Otherwise, lets get stuck in!



Kickstarter Launch Date: May 2024


Our original aim for the board game KS campaign was March 2024. However, just like the Re-Logic team, were committed to ensuring that our games are as good as they can possibly be, which means spending as much time on them as they need. With this in mind, weve re-evaluated our timeline and are shifting the date of our Kickstarter campaign to May 2024. This allows us to add more content, carry out additional playtesting and plan extra community-focused activities to run during the campaign.
It also gives us the ability to share more of the games artwork with you; read on for some such artwork and an explanation of how we go about reimagining the world of Terraria for tabletop.




Painting the World of Terraria
When youre designing a tabletop game, much like the early stages of videogame design, you need a functional prototype, but its not always the prettiest. It has to contain all of the necessary elements, but much of the artwork is basic. In the example below, you can see three of our Biome Tiles (in this case, forest surface tiles). In the board game, youll use these tiles to generate your world, then explore it. At the top of the image, youll see my early prototype tiles, with basic shapes and pixel assets borrowed from the videogame.



Once were happy with the layout and function of the component, its time to pass it over to someone with much more artistic talent than me. In this case, its our fantastic artist George Doutsiopoulos. I create a detailed art specification for each component, with reference images (such as pixel sprites from the videogame) and George produces some basic sketches of the asset. We then discuss any changes that need to be made and I make a second art specification with additional information, such as texture and colour palette references.

George then moves on to painting the assets; for me, this is the most exciting part of the process. I always look forward to receiving the painted images and Im always blown away by what George can create. Even at this stage, the painted tiles (bottom row) look great, but they arent finished; well discuss and make changes as required. There will still be finishing touches added once the necessary game icons and other elements have been placed. We are constantly altering and iterating on the artwork for the perfect balance between aesthetics, function and faithfulness to Terraria.

George has been working on some other artwork, including additional layer backgrounds and icons; youll find some more of these below.



Were going to be getting lots more artwork back over the next few weeks, and we cant wait to share it with you!

Another year come and gone - and another year of the fantastic journey that has been our time on Terraria. So many big things have been accomplished this year, it is hard to really keep count - but we are beyond excited for 1.4.5... and then (fingers VERY crossed), the long-awaited first pass at crossplay! Testing has been going well so far, but we still have the first party approval hurdles to pass - wish us luck!

In the meantime, we made a little festive build for you - one that may or may not contain spoilers. Enjoy!

TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME DESIGNER DIARY


Here we are again with the latest "Designer Diary" entry from the lead designer for Terraria: the Board Game - Chris Kingsnorth. Let's see what he and the Paper Fort team have been up to over the last month!
---
Hello Terrarians!

Chris here, game developer at Paper Fort Games. Im back with the final Terraria: The Board Game designer diary of 2023. This month, Im going to be reflecting on PAX Unplugged 2023 and talking about our previous Kickstarter experience.

If you want to sign up for launch info but dont want to read the diary, just visit Get Ready for Terraria: The Board Game!.

Otherwise, lets get stuck in
!

PAX Unplugged
From December 1st to 3rd we attended PAX Unplugged (PAXU) held in Philadelphia, US. We had the first in-person showing of our latest boss miniatures (Queen Bee, Eye of Cthulhu and Brain of Cthulhu) including painted versions of these, plus our Wall of Flesh and King Slime. Even though we were still showing our prototype, the game was chosen by well-known board game content creator Grant Lyon as one of his Best Games of PAXU; he was clearly impressed by the modular miniatures!



It was a fantastic chance to share our passion for Terraria with hundreds of fans, as well as attendees unfamiliar with the game. Thanks to everyone who stopped by! For those of you who werent there to see the minis, you can watch a timelapse of the painting of Queen Bee over on Instagram. While youre there; follow us to get more Terraria content!

Why Kickstarter and Why Trust Us?
Terraria: The Board Game will be launched on Kickstarter and were currently aiming to kick it off in March 2024. Crowdfunding is often used for board games based on videogames and when used well, its a great way to engage the fan community in the final stages of development. We want to involve you all in the process via contests, reveals, and regular updates over the course of the campaign. Having the opportunity to assemble fans in one place and interact in real-time is one of the best things about crowdfunding, and its something that we couldnt do if the game went straight to retail. It also means that we can offer backers exclusive upgrades, promos and more as part of the campaign.


Weve recently been asked about our prior Kickstarter experience, so let me tell you a little bit about our previous board game campaign; Cosmoctopus!



Cosmoctopus was funded well beyond initial expectations, and fulfilment has been successfully completed for all backers. Were experienced with the Kickstarter platform and have established strong relationships with trusted manufacturing and logistics partners.


To get an ideas of the kind of campaigns we run, you can read our latest update here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/paperfortgames/cosmoctopus-the-board-game/posts/3989888. Weve also been gathering feedback from Cosmoctopus backers; here are a few quotes about the campaign:



Cosmoctopus is now available worldwide, including at Barnes & Noble, and has been translated into six languages. It has featured in multiple Top Games of 2023 lists and has received awards including the Dice Towers Seal of Approval, Sir Thecos Gold Ace of Games and Senet Magazines Top Choice for Winter 2023.

Terraria State of the Game - November 2023



Greetings Terrarians!

Thanksgiving has come and gone, but our thankfulness for all of you - your support, passion for Terraria, and so much more - will never fade. As we look to close out yet another year of Terraria development, it is a great time for us to reflect on what has been a challenging, but productive 2023 thus far. With Crossplay and 1.4.5 on the horizon, 2024 is shaping up to be a big one - thanks for coming along with us on this amazing journey.

Without further ado, let's jump right in to what you came here for!



PC - RE-LOGIC

[h2]TERRARIA 1.4.5 - FISHING UP THE PAST[/h2]

The team has once again been hard at work, adding more and more fun stuff to Terraria 1.4.5. Things will start to wind down for the year once we get into the second half of December, but we are planning to finish the year strong in order to give us a ton of momentum as we head into 2024. As for spoilers this month, we thought we might show a couple of things that are small but really cool. Shall we?


We are not sure how the fish in Terraria stayed invisible all this time, but now you can see what you might be reeling in while fishing!


You may have found yourself thinking what Terraria might feel like "back in the days" on a good old CRT... well wonder no more! (archaic hookups not required)

Until next time folks - let's close out 2023 on a high note!



[h2]STEAM WORKSHOP NEWS[/h2]


Click the banner above to check out the Terraria Workshop!

We have finally broken the 100,000 packs/worlds milestone in the Terraria Steam Workshop! You are missing out if you haven't taken the time to check out these amazing creations from the community.



[h2]WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?[/h2]

Planning for early 2024, laying out what might come out when, getting ready for the Holidays with our families.



TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM



Hello everyone!

The tModLoader team and our amazing community of contributors has been hard at work improving tModLoader. On December 1st our monthly update release of tModLoader will go live. This month's release mainly contains bug fixes and new capabilities for modders.

As a reminder to modders, as of December 1st any modder added as a "Contributor" to a mod on the Steam workshop will be able to publish updates for the mod directly. We encourage mod owners to ensure that all contributors act responsibly with this new capability. We look forward to this feature enabling mods to more reliably update to fix bugs that arise.

Modders and users should also keep an eye out for our monthly Steam announcement on the 1st where a complete listing of bug fixes and API changes for this month's release will be listed. A recently added news button on the main menu will direct you directly to the announcement once it is live.

As always, if you are having issues of any sort, definitely don't hesitate to check out our FAQ on github or reach out to us at our Discord.



[h2]TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP[/h2]

The TML Steam Workshop has over 6000 mods for you to enjoy! Coupled with the in-game mod browser, the TML Steam Workshop is a great way to explore what modded Terraria has to offer - check it out today by clicking the banner above!



[h3]WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?[/h3]

More features, continuing to evolve and grow what TML can do... and getting ready for 1.4.5.

As always, you can keep track the current progress and much more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.)

Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)



PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS


Wow, is it almost the end of 2023 already? Our team has been hard at work to close out the year in a strong way - and we are personally hoping that next year will be the year that Terraria Crossplay arrives at long last. In the meantime, we have been keeping pace with the PC team towards the development of Terraria 1.4.5. We have a particularly cool spoiler this month, one that we think everyone will appreciate...

Speaking of which, shall we take a peek?

[previewyoutube=eI2Ct6hm1kY;full][/previewyoutube]
Know what sucks? Having to stare at your dead character, not even knowing how that epic boss fight is going. Now you can cheer on from the sidelines as you await your respawn with the new Spectate feature!

No more updates on Crossplay timing just yet - other than to reiterate that we expect it will be a post-1.4.5 addition, assuming we are successful with first party reviews, etc.

Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

[h3]TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME UPDATES[/h3]
TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME DESIGNER DIARY


Here we are again with the latest "Designer Diary" entry from the lead designer for Terraria: the Board Game - Chris Kingsnorth. Let's see what he and the Paper Fort team have been up to over the last month!
---

Hello Terrarians!

Chris here, game developer at Paper Fort Games. Im back with the next installment of the Terraria: The Board Game designer diary. This month, Im going to be discussing setup and rulebooks, the miniature design process, painted boss models and PAX Unplugged 2023.


---

Its a Setup!


We realise that were asking you to play a board game when you have the digital game at your fingertips, so were working hard to make sure that setting up the board game is quick and easy. There will be an organiser in the box to hold all the game components, and youll be discovering the world as you go, to minimise the amount you have to do before playing. We want to get you into the fun stuff as soon as possible, so were writing the rulebook in a learn-as-you-play fashion, more akin to a videogame tutorial than a traditional board game rulebook. Youll be able to set up, open the rules and start playing right away; no need to read a huge tome beforehand!


New Painted Bosses!
Painter extraordinaire Max has been working his magic on our latest boss sculpts; here are Eye of Cthulhu (in both forms) and Queen Bee! These miniatures will be cast in coloured plastic in the game, and youll be able to play with them straight out of the box, give them a simple ink wash, or really go to town painting them; the choice is yours!



Maxs is currently painting Brain of Cthulhu; keep an eye on our Instagram and Twitter to see the finished thing! Well also be posting a timelapse of Max painting Queen Bee

---

How Miniatures Get Made
Getting from a 2D sprite to a painted 3D model is a multi-person job. I make a size guide sketch at the beginning of the process and oversee the steps, but credit for the final product goes to artist George, sculptor Francesco and painter Max, as well as the Re-Logic team for their feedback and guidance! Heres a peek at how Eye of Cthulhu and Queen Bee came to life:




---

Come and See the Game at PAX Unplugged 2023!
From December 1st to 3rd, well be showing Terraria: The Board Game at PAX Unplugged (PAXU) held in Philadelphia, US. If youre coming to the show, please stop by and say hello; youll find us at the Lucky Duck Games booth (3400). Well have the first in-person showing of our latest boss miniatures (Queen Bee, Eye of Cthulhu and Brain of Cthulhu) including painted versions of these, plus our Wall of Flesh and King Slime which went down a storm at Essen Spiel!

Terraria Makeship Series - Hallowed Armor

Greetings Terrarians!

For a good while, we have seen what the good folks over at Makeship have been doing with plush for some of our favorite games (Spiffo from Project Zomboid) and our favorite creators (Khaios has done several). So, when they reached out to us to see if we might be interested in expanding the Terraria plush lineup in new directions, we thought it sounded like a great idea! Terraria is so full of items, monsters, and more that could make some amazing plushies.

What we have planned with Makeship is a series based upon some of the more popular armor sets in Terraria - starting today with the Hallowed Armor!


Crafted from the finest Hallowed Bars and the souls of vanquished mechanical monstrosities, Hallowed Armor protects the hero from all manner of evil that awaits in the world of Terraria!

Our Hallowed Armor plush comes complete with the legendary sword Excalibur as well as a Pickaxe Axe - the ideal tool for both delving deep underground and gathering wood. You can place one in the hands of the plush and strap the other to its back for safe keeping.

We think it looks pretty awesome - and we hope that you agree. Now, we need your support to be sure that our Hallowed friend (and future armor sets and more that we have planned) makes it all the way to production and beyond. To place your order or to find out more, click the banner/image above or the link below!

[h2]TERRARIA HALLOWED ARMOR PLUSH - ORDER NOW![/h2]



HOW MAKESHIP CAMPAIGNS WORK

Makeship utilizes a unique method for determining whether or not a plush gets manufactured and shipped out to players. Essentially, each campaign goes out as a preorder for a set period of time - for this campaign, that will be 21 days - and if the plush orders meet the minimum quantity needed (200), the plush gets made and shipped out to everyone that bought one. If it doesn't hit that level, then no one is out a dime - but sadly, our Hallowed Armor plush will only ever exist as a concept.

The short version:


  • The Hallowed Armor Plush will be available for preorder from today through the next 21 days
  • If Makeship receives at least 200 preorders, the plush will be manufactured and shipped to customers
  • If it does not hit that threshhold, then the plush will not be made, everyone gets their money back, and we will hope for better results on our next attempt.




That's pretty much everything to share on this campaign. We really want to see this one be a smashing success - because we think this plush is really cool, and we are really excited to make more armors in the future. Your support here will tell the tale on both fronts. So, if you like what you see and you think the Hallowed Armor plush might look great in your room or would be an amazing gift for a friend or family member this Holiday season, get your order in today!

Terraria State of the Game - October 2023



Greetings Terrarians!

Spooky season is finally upon us! We hope that your pumpkin carving, candy collecting, haunted house visiting, and trick or treat preparations have been going quite well. On our end, we have loved seeing the Halloween Contest entries coming in (over 300 entries and counting - you still have time to get your amazing Pumpkins, Costumes, and more in!) while we continue to work away on 1.4.5. We are also getting really excited to see some of the other Terraria things that will be coming out over the Holidays, such as the next wave of the Terraria Graphic Novel, new merch stuff, and more. It is also the time of the year where we really start to reflect on how much we appreciate each and every one of you and your support. We will say it again (probably more than once) - thank you so much for all that you do for us!

That said, let's go door to door for the latest Terraria treats - no tricks, we promise!



PC - RE-LOGIC

[h2]TERRARIA 1.4.5 - BAT![/h2]

Another great month of development has come and gone, and the team is really feeling great about what we have in game thus far as well as what we still have planned/on deck to add before we can call 1.4.5 complete. It is becoming increasingly hard to not spoil some of our favorite bits - but our willpower is winning out thus far. No estimate on timing to add just yet, but it is looking increasingly likely that we are looking at a 2024 release for 1.4.5 at this point. You know our mantra for updates - they are "done when they are done". Hang in there with us a bit longer, it will be worth it.

What better spoiler for the Halloween Season than to share one of our newest additions - the Vampire Bat transformation!


Don't worry, when your nighttime aerial hijinks are concluded, you will be able to safely return to your... Human Form!

Until next time folks - the Holidays are closing in and we cannot wait to see what they hold!



[h2]STEAM WORKSHOP NEWS[/h2]


Click the banner above to check out the Terraria Workshop!

We are creeping ever-closer to 100,000 packs/worlds in the Terraria Steam Workshop! You are missing out if you haven't taken the time to check out these amazing creations from the community.



[h2]WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?[/h2]

Thinking about another team playthrough - this time on a World Seed unlike any we have played before.



TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM



Hello everyone!

It has been another exciting month! On November 1st our monthly update release of tModLoader will go live. This month's release contains fixes for various gameplay inconsistencies with Terraria. Dye visuals, boss item drops, bomb damage, tool speed, and echo coating have all received fixes to match Terraria behavior. We are extremely grateful to the users that reported these issues to us. The mod configuration menu has been reworked to be less confusing for mods with multiple configuration pages.

We also have exciting news for modders working in a team. Modders added as a "Contributor" to a mod on the Steam workshop will soon be able to publish updates for the mod to the workshop directly. Mods will no longer need to be updated only by the original uploader. Mod owners should take some time this month to ensure that everyone listed as a "Contributor" on the Steam workshop for your mod is trustworthy enough for this responsibility. Please remove any contributors that do not meet this standard. The feature for contributor publishing will be active November 21st starting with our preview releases to provide time to act. Please spread the word to other mod teams you know that might not have seen this announcement. We look forward to this feature enabling mods to more reliably update to fix bugs that arise.

Modders should also keep an eye out for our Steam announcement on November 1st where a complete listing of API changes this month will be listed.

As always, if you are having issues of any sort, definitely don't hesitate to check out our FAQ on github or reach out to us at our Discord.



[h2]TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP[/h2]

The TML Steam Workshop has over 6000 mods for you to enjoy! Coupled with the in-game mod browser, the TML Steam Workshop is a great way to explore what modded Terraria has to offer - check it out today by clicking the banner above!



[h3]WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?[/h3]

More features, continuing to evolve and grow what TML can do... and getting ready for 1.4.5.

As always, you can keep track the current progress and much more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.)

Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)



PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS

We were fortunate enough over this past month to have a bit of extra time to work on the future - above and beyond the ongoing work on Terraria 1.4.5, of course. What future would that be, you ask? Why a future where Terrarians everywhere can come together from all over the world to Dig, Fight, and Build - regardless of which platform on which they choose to play. You will see what we mean in the spoilers below...

Speaking of which, let's give you the customary sneak peek!

[previewyoutube=MaemaMglZRU;full][/previewyoutube]
Portable Demon Altars, Extra Spiky!
Please note that this will only drop in the most extreme of circumstances and is not going to be easily obtained/readily available.


Crossplay? Crossplay.

It is also worth sharing at this point that the image we shared in the July State of the Game was shot in a live Crossplay environment - as some of you surmised!

[h3]Please note that we do NOT expect Crossplay to be available until a while after Terraria 1.4.5 releases and all hotfixes, etc. are complete. Crossplay will take place in two phases, this is only Phase One. [/h3]

We still need to go through the hoops and processes with first parties, and (as you can imagine), this feature will need a lot of extensive testing. That has already begun, and we are planning to keep that testing going up to and through the release of 1.4.5, so that we can get Crossplay Phase One (more details on that at a later time) into your hands as soon as possible. However, to reiterate, this will be sometime after Terraria 1.4.5 is out and all fixes are done with that update.

Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME DESIGNER DIARY

Here we are again with the latest "Designer Diary" entry from the lead designer for Terraria: the Board Game - Chris Kingsworth. Let's see what he and the Paper Fort team have been up to over the last month!
---

Hello Terrarians!

Chris here, game developer at Paper Fort Games. Im back with the next instalment of the Terraria: The Board Game designer diary. This month, Im going to be discussing my time at Essen Game Fair, revealing 3 new Boss miniatures and letting you know where to find us at PAXU in December!

---


Essen Game Fair
A couple of weeks ago I traveled to Germany for Essen Game Fair, the worlds largest tabletop convention. 193,000 people visited the event; it was fantastic to meet hundreds of Terraria fans and show our in-development prototype. The painted Wall of Flesh and King Slime miniatures got lots of brilliant feedback, and though the games cardboard components currently have prototype art, fans were already excited about how thematic the game is shaping up to be. Multiple people said that they could hear the Overworld Day theme playing when they saw the game on the table, so we must be doing something right!

Our transparent armour set cards are also proving to be a hit; youll be able to customise your Terrarian by overlaying see-through cards on top of your basic character. Not only does this look cool, but these armour cards will provide permanent buffs as you progress through the game. Well be showing more of these in a future SOTG so keep an eye out!

---

New Boss Minis
This month, weve been working on 3 new Boss miniatures; Queen Bee, Eye of Cthulhu and Brain of Cthulhu. Here are the WIP renders; wed love to know what you think!



Next month Ill give you a sneak peek of the miniature design process; i.e. how we get from my shoddy concept sketch to a fantastic sculpted model (spoiler; it involves other people with much more artistic talent than me!). Ill also show you the modular features of the Eye and Brain of Cthulhu miniatures in more detail.

Come and See the Game at PAX Unplugged 2023!
From December 1st to 3rd, well be showing Terraria: The Board Game at PAX Unplugged in Philadelphia, PA. If youre coming to the show, please stop by and say hello; youll find us on the Lucky Duck Games stand (booth number 3400). You can find more info about PAXU at PAX Unplugged .

Terraria State of the Game - September 2023



Greetings Terrarians!

We are growing ever closer to quite possibly our favorite month of the year. Cooler days? Spooky times? Tricks and Treats? Maybe, just possibly, another Terraria Halloween Contest (we are looking into if we can make this happen)? Count us all the way in! For now, though, let's not sleep on September, because plenty of fun and interesting things took place over the last month. From the rise of more cool Terraria merch to the ongoing development of 1.4.5 to the fall of Unity, September was a month to remember!

Enough with the small talk - let's check out all of the latest and greatest in regards to all things Terraria!



PC - RE-LOGIC

[h2]TERRARIA 1.4.5 - CHOPPING AWAY AT THE REMAINING WORKLOAD[/h2]

Another fantastic month of development has passed by, and the team is really feeling great about what we have in store for 1.4.5. Another of the music tracks that we mentioned last time arrived over the past few weeks - it still needs a bit of work, but we are really digging it!

As for what to share this month - remember the big Tree vs Axe debate/war/thing? Remember the promises made when the "peace treaty" was negotiated? One of those was a Fairy-Axe pet, and we figured what better way to truly memorialize the community event than by giving this pet a striking resemblance to the de facto leader of the Axe faction...


CenAxe does what she wants!

This floating fairy is a menace to any trees that might cross her path. Just don't let her know that she isn't very good at actually chopping them down.

Until next time folks - we are looking forward to finishing the year strong!



[h2]STEAM WORKSHOP NEWS[/h2]


Click the banner above to check out the Terraria Workshop!

We are creeping ever-closer to 100,000 packs/worlds in the Terraria Steam Workshop! You are missing out if you haven't taken the time to check out these amazing creations from the community.



[h2]WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?[/h2]

Scoping out a few of the larger ideas we might explore, prepping for the Holidays...



TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM



Hello everyone!

The tModLoader team has been busy fixing bugs and incorporating new functionality into tModLoader. On October 1st our monthly update release of tModLoader will go live. There have been many bug fixes made to tModLoader, but this month's release has a particularly large amount of new functionality for modders to play with.

New features include:


  • Support for modded Builders Toggles
  • Modded Emote Bubbles
  • Rubblemaker support
  • Reworked NPC buff immunity system
  • A way to store world header data
  • The long awaited Extra Jump API


These latest additions have made their way into tModLoader thanks to the efforts of our amazing community of modders who have been willing to contribute to tModLoader. We always encourage modders to continue contributing features to tModLoader, as there is no better way to ensure that TML continues to grow in ways that will best support future modding efforts. Changes like those listed above allow modders the ability to make things that were previously prohibitively complex to implement.

We hope players look forward to mods incorporating these new features and encourage modders to take a moment to test their mods on the preview-v2023.08 Steam branch prior to October 1st to ensure a smooth transition. We look forward to seeing how mods make use of these new features.

As always, if you are having issues of any sort, definitely don't hesitate to check out our FAQ on github or reach out to us at our Discord.



[h2]TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP[/h2]

The TML Steam Workshop is closing in on 6,000 mods already! Coupled with the in-game mod browser, the TML Steam Workshop is a great way to explore what modded Terraria has to offer - check it out today by clicking the banner above!



[h3]WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?[/h3]

More features, continuing to evolve and grow what TML can do... and getting ready for 1.4.5.

As always, you can keep track the current progress and much more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.)

Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)



PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS

Another month with even more progress on the Console/Mobile front! Aside from keeping pace with our PC friends, the team has had one eye on contingency planning for "what if" we need to swap out the components of Console/Mobile Terraria that utilize Unity. Given recent events, the team feels like this is a prudent step to take so that we can evaluate all possible pathways. Do note that *IF* the need arises for us to undertake such a swap, we do expect that it will take a bit of time. This would delay any in-progress update by however long that takes - our current best-guess being in the two-ish months timeframe. As of today, we are only laying out plans, and we have not decided if we will or will not make the shift at this point. If that changes, we will let everyone know. Thanks in advance for your understanding in this difficult situation!

Now, with that out of the way, who wants to see a brand new Terraria 1.4.5 spoiler?!

[previewyoutube=h26uUnlBcvM;full][/previewyoutube]
Somebody out there always has to resort to slinging mud...

Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

[h3]TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME UPDATES[/h3]
TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME DESIGNER DIARY

Here we are again with the latest "Designer Diary" entry from the lead designer for Terraria: the Board Game - Chris Kingsworth. Let's see what he and the Paper Fort team have been up to over the last month!
---
Hello Terrarians!

Chris here, game developer at Paper Fort Games. Im back with the next instalment of the Terraria: The Board Game designer diary. This month, Im going to be discussing world generation, updated artwork and Essen Spiel 2023 (the worlds largest board game convention).


Planting the Seed

Games with procedurally generated worlds, like Terraria, are a challenge to port into cardboard form. Players have to do the heavy lifting of world generation that is usually handled by the digital game engine, so we need to make sure that this aspect of the game is quick and fun.


At the beginning of Terraria: The Board Game, youll create a minimap of randomised, face-down biome tokens. As you explore the world, youll draw and place biome tiles to create the environment, revealing new places to explore, enemies to fight, materials to collect and chests to loot. Whenever you reach the edge of a biome, youll flip over the next minimap token; this will show you which biome to build next. Its quick, simple and exciting; you can never be sure exactly whats going to be revealed, and every world you generate will be different. As in the video game, you'll also get a choice of evil biome, or you can leave it up to chance during the minimap-making process.



Updated Cover Reveal!
When we announced the board game earlier this year, the cover art reception was generally favourable, but there were some aspects that fans werent as keen on. Weve listened to your feedback, taken the core of what fans and Re-Logic loved about the artwork and overhauled the art style with the help of artist George Doutsiopoulos. Our aim was to stay faithful to Crownos 2018 cover, while adding new details that will appeal to veteran and greenhorn Terrarians alike. Wed love to hear what you think!



New Miniature Sculpts
Over the past few weeks, weve also been working to maximise the quality of our Boss sculpts. Here are the latest renders of King Slime and Wall of Flesh. As mentioned in my previous update, these Boss models are modular, and as you fight them, youll remove pieces to track boss damage and reflect other status effects. For example, youll be able to remove King Slimes outer layers so he shrinks as he loses health. Similarly, WoF will have a removable mouth and eyes.





Come and See the Game at Essen Spiel 2023!
From October 5th to 8th, well be showing Terraria: The Board Game at the worlds largest tabletop game convention, held in Germany. If youre one of the 150,000 people coming to the show, please stop by and say hello; youll find us on the Lucky Duck Games stand in Hall 3 (booth number 3S124).

TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME DETAILS



[h3]TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES[/h3]

We just wrapped up inks for Issue 5 this week, which just leaves colors and lettering before the next installment in our adventure should be ready to go! Additionally, we are very close to a final script for Issue 6 - so things are really starting to pick up. We are very excited to get these out to everyone and see what you think!

Alongside the actual issues themselves, the art team has been spending some time pulling together some goodies that we plan to offer with the next rollout. We thought we would take a chance this month to share a few of the sticker designs that we recently completed. If we can get colors down the road far enough, perhaps we will tease a page (or part of one) from Issue 5 next month!

RE-LOGIC STANCE ON UNITY & SUPPORT FOR OPEN SOURCE GAME ENGINES
[/h3]

In case you missed it, Unity recently introduced some changes to their Terms of Service regarding fees - specifically adding a "charge per install" component that would be in place for all games (new and existing) starting January 1, 2024. This resulted in an almost-universal protest from the game development community. While Unity has in recent days made adjustments to this plan that are far more palatable to developers and publishers, Re-Logic stands by its statement and actions outlined in the image below:


*Note: Monogame was added in the days following the initial announcement. It has been added to the image above for ease of reading and clarity*

We hope that everyone will join us in supporting a future where robust open-source game engines and tools exist so that up-and-coming game developers can get their start without having to worry about situations such as the present Unity dynamics. Accessible and powerful tools will only serve to raise up the next generation of indie games for us all to enjoy!

Terraria State of the Game - August 2023



Greetings Terrarians!

Back to school time already? Whether you are already back, heading back, or glad to have school way back in your personal rear-view mirror; there is always time for the latest Terraria news! Our teams have been working feverishly all month, adding new goodies to the game and balancing and fixing what already exists. Beyond that, we saw three product launches in the month of August - busy times! You will definitely want to dive deep into this State of the Game, as there is a good bit of juicy and important information to cover. Fall is right around the corner, and it is one of our favorite times of the year. Who knows, maybe we will see a return of the always-popular Terraria Halloween Contest...

Without further ado, shall we get right into all things Terraria?



PC - RE-LOGIC

[h2]TERRARIA 1.4.5 - TUNES, TIMING, AND NEW ADDITIONS[/h2]

The team playthrough has come and gone. I don't think anyone will soon forget their time in The Mad Realm of Boulders! Fun was had, TONS of notes were taken, and the benefits of this playthrough are already being seen in the work on Terraria 1.4.5.

Speaking of time, we have an update on timing for everyone. As we started to check off what work remained on the update, we realized that we would really have been remiss to not cover off some long-standing needs for new music. That's right, Terrarians, the 1.4.5 update will contain several new music tracks by our favorite composer, Scott Lloyd Shelly! How many exactly is still a bit to-be-determined, but we are anticipating at least 5 and maybe more! Want to check one of them out? Of course you do!

[previewyoutube=92rRvE56pKA;full][/previewyoutube]

So, all that said, we mentioned an impact on timing - the production of all of these new tracks takes a good amount of time in composition, review, editing, etc. We are not going to rush Scott while he works on the latest in a long line of Terraria musical masterpieces. So, that means the update is going to take a bit longer to come out than we had originally anticipated. Now, before anyone gets too upset... the team realized that if we are having to wait on this music anyway, why not just keep the update development moving on our end and add even more goodies?!

What all will that entail? Well you will have to wait and see - but we have some pretty substantial ideas. How much we can get done will depend on how long the music takes. We are pretty confident everyone will be very happy with what we have in store and will feel like this was extra time well-spent. Can't show you too much too soon, though, so it will all be a mystery for now.



Oh, who are we kidding, you knew we were going to show something new. Are we sure it is safe to sit on this Aetherium Furniture, much less build a whole house using it?!

Anyway, we expect this extension to be in the scope of a few months at least - we will give a timeline as we get closer. In the meantime, rest assured that everyone will get a LOT more out of 1.4.5 than you ever expected.

We love this idea - funny and cool at the same time, we cannot wait to see the author finish out the rest of the bosses!


Backgrounds O' Plenty by Starlalaies

We quite literally were just discussing background diversity the other day... and then we saw this. A subtle but great addition to any playthrough!

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM



Hello everyone!

This month has flown by - with the release of 1.4.4 tModLoader at the start of August came a whole batch of mod updates and hot fixes. We hope you've been enjoying the 1.4.4 era of tModLoader! We are quite happy with how well the transition went from 1.4.3 to 1.4.4 tModLoader - it was so smooth we could call it a success! That said, if you are having issues of any sort, definitely don't hesitate to check out our FAQ on github or reach out to us at our Discord.

As August comes to an end, we feel we are finally nearing cruising altitude and a return to normal scheduled updates. We have some exciting changes coming in September - including a Mod Browser Revamp... and still more improvements we've been wanting to make on the horizon while we set ourselves up for the future.

As always, we kindly request that we all respect modders' time and not hassle them about porting to 1.4.4. We are greatly impressed at seeing over 85% of all mods by subscriber count have ported to 1.4.4, but we continue to ask to please be respectful of those that have not. Thank you for your understanding.



[h2]TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP[/h2]

The TML Steam Workshop has over 5000 mods already! Coupled with the in-game mod browser, the TML Steam Workshop is a great way to explore what modded Terraria has to offer - check it out today by clicking the banner above!



[h3]WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?[/h3]

Now that 1.4.4 release is behind us, we are once again casting our eyes towards the future - not only getting ready for 1.4.5 (whenever that happens to arrive), but also building a stronger foundation for that future.

As always, you can keep track the current progress and much more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.)

Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)



PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS

Over on the Console/Mobile front, we continue to keep pace as best we can with the PC side of the house. It is a different sort of challenge from the old days of playing "catch up", and one we rather enjoy. Being able to bring new Terraria content to everyone all at the same time remains a primary goal!

Speaking of, how about a fresh never before seen Terraria 1.4.5 spoiler?

TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME DESIGNER DIARY

Here we are again with the latest "Designer Diary" entry from the lead designer for Terraria: the Board Game - Chris Kingsworth. Let's see what he and the Paper Fort team have been up to over the last month!
---
Hello Terrarians!

Chris here, game developer at Paper Fort Games. Im back with the next installment of the Terraria: The Board Game designer diary. This months topics; how can we capture the sandbox feeling of Terraria on the tabletop, and what can we offer that can only be achieved in the physical world? Enjoy!


Freedom to Choose
Terraria is a game all about choice. If you want to run all the way to the ocean, you can (weve all done it!). Want to build a Hellevator? Go for it. Fancy mining every block in the world, or building beautiful things? No problem! With this in mind, it wouldnt be right to design a board game that dictates exactly what you have to do. Instead, youll have control over how you play.

Youll be able to choose the objectives for each playthrough, all of which reflect achievements in the digital game. Complete lots of easy-to-achieve tasks, like surviving your first night or building your first house, or defeat bosses for big points and fantastic loot! Alternatively, aim somewhere in the middle; spawn every NPC or mine every block within a biome.

On your turn, freedom of choice will be reinforced by a flexible action point system. This isnt a game where cards dictate exactly what you have to do. Using your starting equipment, youll be able to dig, chop and stab. Want to run over to that tree, chop it down, zip over to a slime and stab it? If youve got the action points to do it, you can! You can spend your points how you like; whether thats on a single endeavour or a variety of tasks. As you upgrade your equipment, the efficiency of your action points will increase. Perhaps youve forged an iron axe to replace your copper one; now you can dig more quickly and mine more efficiently.


Modular Miniatures and the Advent Calendar
We realize that were asking you to play a board game when you have the digital game at your fingertips, so lets talk about things we can do in the physical world that arent achievable digitally. One of the reasons we hope youre excited to play Terraria: The Board Game is the boss advent calendar.

Bosses are a big event in the videogame and we want to mirror that in the tabletop game. In the box youll find a number of doors. Each door will display spawn criteria for a different boss. For example, each time you kill a slime, youll be a step closer to the appearance of King Slime. When you hit the spawn threshold, youll open the door and find a modular boss miniature, with rules for an epic boss battle. As you fight, youll remove pieces of the miniature to track boss damage and reflect other status effects.


Heres an example of one of these miniatures; our WIP sculpt for the Wall of Flesh:



Were really looking forward to sharing more of these with you!

Next Month
As I mentioned last month, were passionate about Terraria and its players. Were here to do the best we can and we want to bring you along for the journey by keeping you updated on what were doing; thats one of the aims of the designer diary. In the next instalment, Ill talk about world generation and deckbuilding in Terraria: The Board Game.

Terraria x Madrinas Coffee Collaboration Launches Today!



Greetings, Terrarians!

We are very excited to be able to at long last share a very unique partnership that has been in the works for some time now - Terraria x Madrinas! That's right, we have been working hand-in-hand with our good friends over at Madrinas to create some unique coffee flavors that we hope everyone will really enjoy! It has been a lot of fun trying out flavors and bouncing ideas off of each other, and we are pretty pleased with how it all turned out. Besides, who doesn't need some extra fuel for those late night (or early morning) Terraria sessions? That one more cave beckons!

If you are not familiar with Madrinas, they are a well-known coffee company focused on providing innovative new coffee flavors while using only all-natural ingredients. From Whole Bean to Cold Brew, they aim to have a coffee out there that is right for everyone.

All in all, we have two cool flavors to share with you here: one based on everyone's favorite 500 year old nature spirit, the Dryad - and the other seeks to answer the age old question of what exactly does a Pigron taste like? The team at Madrinas has also put together a really cool collector's box set that has both flavors and some other goodies as well. So without further ado, grab your favorite mug or shaker cup and let's dive in to Terraria x Madrinas!

[previewyoutube=2F4xs3bSSRo;full][/previewyoutube]

As always, simply click on a product image to head on over to purchase that item, and we have listed each of these in our very own Merchandise Hub at Terraria.org/Store.





[h2]TERRARIA x MADRINAS LIMITED EDITION COLLECTOR'S BOX SET[/h2]
This is the cornerstone of the Madrinas x Terraria collaboration! Included in this amazing Box Set are both of the new coffee flavors: the Dryad's Wild Honey Cold Brew and Pigron's Maple Bacon Whole Bean. Inside the box you will also find a Terraria shaker bottle (perfect for mixing up that Wild Honey Cold Brew) and a Journey's End inspired koozie. This is the one to pick up if you want to give all of what Madrinas x Terraria has to offer a try! This will be a limited edition, so be sure that you get yours before it's too late.





[h2]DRYAD-INSPIRED: WILD HONEY COLD BREW[/h2]
Direct from the jungles of Terraria, and blessed by the Dryad herself, the Madrinas x Terraria Wild Honey cold brew will keep you on your toes as you delve ever-deeper in search of the Jungle Temple or the beautiful-but-deadly Plantera. This perfect flavor pairing of honey and a hint of lavender will arrive ready-to-craft it at home in less than a minute! All you need is a shaker cup.





PIGRON'S VERY OWN: MAPLE BACON WHOLE BEAN[/h2]

From the lair of the iconic Pigron itself comes the new Madrinas x Terraria Maple Bacon Flavored Whole Bean Coffee! Its perfect combo of sweet and salty notes with a smoky smooth finish will help you keep your wits about you as you battle half-pig/half-dragons or whatever else might come your way!


As always, we cannot thank everyone enough for their support, we hope that you will find these latest Terraria products as amazing as we do and pick some up for yourself! Be sure to check out the cool products we launched last Friday from Eighty Sixed as well!

Terraria State of the Game - July 2023



Greetings Terrarians!

Whew, what a month July has been! We saw the great Tree vs Axe War of the Terrarians take place on Terraria Community Forums as well as all over social media? Which side did you wind up supporting? The good news is that things are back to being nice and peaceful again with the leaders of each side reaching a spruce to end hostilities. The even better news is that we will all get to enjoy a couple of new items as a result! We cannot wait to share what we have in mind there when the time comes. Beyond that, we are hammering out the final bits and going through one of our first team Terraria playthroughs in quite a while. These are always fantastic to do near the end of update development for balance, QA, and even the occasional new idea. We know that everyone really wants a launch date window, but we still are not quite ready to share that at this time. Soon though, hopefully!

Let's dive headlong into July's happenings and hints of what is to come in August and beyond!



PC - RE-LOGIC

[h2]TERRARIA 1.4.5 - SEEDS, SEEDS EVERYWHERE[/h2]

The team has started the customary group full playthrough that accompanies the end stages of development. These are very important (and fun) sessions, where we unearth any remaining pesky bugs, find anything that feels unbalanced or not fun, and - quite often - come up with some fun new ideas.

We have been taking the time to listen to fan requests as well - and one we have heard pretty frequently is a way to see which worlds which characters have visited previously as a method to help know which character goes with which world(s). Players and worlds are also now sorted by most recently played.



The team is also having fun diving into the potential of World Seed combinations. With 128 different possible seed combinations, the team has let its creativity run wild by adding a whole bunch of fun combo effects - some big and some small. This includes at least 2 (and maybe more to come) combos that will substantially change the gameplay experience in unexpected ways. Want an example? Of course you do!




You've seen your last sunrise - that must suck!




[h2]STEAM WORKSHOP NEWS[/h2]


Click the banner above to check out the Terraria Workshop!

We are creeping ever-closer to 100,000 packs/worlds in the Terraria Steam Workshop! You are missing out if you haven't taken the time to check out these amazing creations from the community.



[h2]WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?[/h2]

Getting this update done and out to you is our only development focus right now!



TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM



Hello everyone!

We are excited to announce that 1.4.4 tModLoader will be available starting August 1st as tModLoader's default experience! After a lot of testing and changes, we are ready to release this next big version of tModLoader. We have seen significant uptake within the modding community on our 1.4.4-preview Beta, and are looking forward to a smooth transition to the next big stage. A lot of hard work went into this, so a big thank you to everyone involved.

Likewise, although 1.4.4 is released from our end, there will still be some mods not yet released on 1.4.4. This may include some popular mods. We anticipate several of these noteworthy mods to release within the few days to follow, and ask for your patience as modders publish their work.

For more information on the Jump to 1.4.4 and all that's happening around it, you can read more in our big announcement from earlier this month: tModLoader 1.4.4 Transition Plan

We are excited to see our modding community is already more than half way to our 60% porting effort target! As a reminder, we are waiting to changeover tModLoader to 1.4.4 as the default option until the majority of mods have posted a 1.4.4 version.

Please note that 1.4.4 will NOT replace 1.4.3. 1.4.3 will continue to be available in full through Steam Beta options, just as 1.3 is today.

As always, we kindly request that we all respect modders' time and not hassle them about porting to 1.4.4. Please be respectful as we all wrap up this big jump forward. Please stay tuned, and thank you for your patience. Once again, we are excited to bring tModLoader to 1.4.4 age! We hope you enjoy this next era of modding, and several improvements we've made during the journey.



[h2]TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP[/h2]

The TML Steam Workshop has over 5000 mods already! Coupled with the in-game mod browser, the TML Steam Workshop is a great way to explore what modded Terraria has to offer - check it out today by clicking the banner above!



[h3]WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?[/h3]

Final preparations for the 1.4.4 release and the subsequent bugfixing and tweaking that will be needed is taking up all of our time for now!

As always, you can keep track the current progress and much more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.)

Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)



PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS

Over on the Console/Mobile front, we are adding content just as fast as the PC side can put it out! We thought we would put together this fun little collage/montage of a recent testing session where we were trying out the new Velociraptor transformation.



Of course, we are also still exploring the handful of issues that remain for some players from the previous technical update:

KNOWN ISSUES WITH FIXES UNDERWAY


  • Multiplayer not working for some users on Xbox - the latest backend updates seem to have cleared this up for almost everyone. The only exception seems to be players with bad connections with each other. We are seeing if we can force the system to allow connection anyway, but not sure if this is possible.
  • Issue where the game freezes suddenly for PS4 users - We have made some progress with replication of situations where this is still occurring. Hoping to get this sorted soon.
  • Old save data not showing anymore for some Xbox users - We have had to travel way back in time to get to the bottom of this issue. Progress is being made, but we do not yet have a line on a fix.


Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

[h3]TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME UPDATES[/h3]

TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME DESIGNER DIARY


This month, we will share the first in what will be several "Designer Diary" entries from the lead designer for Terraria: the Board Game - Chris Kingsworth. We hope you enjoy these behind-the-scenes candid thoughts as we move ever closer to making this a reality!


Hello Terrarians!

Im Chris, game developer at Paper Fort Games. As youve probably heard, Re-Logic recently announced a collaboration between our studios to create Terraria: The Board Game. The Re-Logic team have kindly given me the opportunity to write a designer diary as part of State of the Game, so lets dive into the first instalment!

We announced Terraria: The Board Game on 1st June, to coincide with the UK Game Expo (UKGE) held at the NEC in Birmingham. I was excited and anxious in equal measure; Terraria is a video game beloved to literally millions of people, so its natural that some peoples reaction would be why?. Some players might be worried about a soulless tabletop rehash of another videogame IP, but I want to reassure you that were here to do the best job we can for you, the fans. We care about getting it right. It was wonderful seeing so many of you get excited about the chance to play Terraria in physical form; our aim is for the board game to be an extension of the incredible Terraria universe, and a chance for new and veteran players alike to experience the game in a new way.

If you heard me talk about the game at UKGE, hopefully I was able to convey how passionate we are about doing a great job. Before I even started designing the board game, weve spent hundreds of hours of research by playing, trawling the wiki, watching playthrough videos and reading forum discussions to understand the game and the community. Were making a Terraria board game, not a board game with a Terraria theme.

It was fantastic to meet so many of you at the convention. Hundreds of Terrarians came by to find out about the board game; some whove played a few of hours, others whove logged thousands. There were kids with their parents, groups of friends and players that have been following the game since day one. One fan on holiday from the US heard the announcement and came to UKGE just to see the game, and Chippy came by for a chat and to ask some questions from the community. It was an amazing weekend, and reinforced how important Terraria is to so many people.




Like Re-Logic, were a small indie team, and we share the same game design ethos. Were aiming for crowdfunding towards the end of the year, but were not going to rush. Were going to take the time to get it right, playtest extensively, listen to feedback and give it the polish that it deserves. Everything that we do will be approved by Re-Logic, to ensure that we are faithful to their vision and respectful to the amazing community that theyve built.

Were passionate about the game and its players. Were here to do the best we can and we want to bring you along for the journey by keeping you updated on what were doing; thats one of the aims of the designer diary. In the next instalment, Ill talk about the core aims of the tabletop games design; how were attempting to capture the sandbox feeling of Terraria and the unique things we are adding that can only be achieved in the physical world.

Until then, Ill leave you with my 2 favourite quotes from fans during the launch: Terraria 2 is so light on RAM it doesnt even need a PC and Cant wait to speedrun this; these definitely made me laugh!

[h2]OTHER COMMUNITY NEWS[/h2]

[h3]TREE VS AXE - WHICH SIDE WERE YOU ON?[/h3]
Throughout July, the Terraria community partook in a a friendly "war" between the Axes and the Trees.



As he often does, Chippy put together a great summary of some of the best of the antics. The two sides have since reached a truce, with new items being added to the 1.4.5 update to appease both sides. What will those be and what will they look like/do? You will have to wait and find out!

TERRARIA ON R/PLACE 2023
[/h3]
That's right, though quite delayed, r/place just took place once again. As in past years, Terrarians everywhere did not disappoint with their strong support for making their mark on this global community canvas.

Perhaps even more moving is that the Community has chosen to make this a fitting tribute to our fallen colleague and brother, Leinfors. To give you a taste of what everyone has created:
You may be seeing this arrive as a painting in Terraria update near you!







We also saw Terraria appear in several other spots!

If you are not familiar with r/place, it is intended to be a global community blank canvas where people place one pixel at a time, creating works of art (or not). Of course, nothing is stopping others from overwriting or vandalizing your piece... so defending your turf is also key. That our community was able to create and defend all of these amazing pieces is a testament to your passion and dedication for all things Terraria!



[h3]TERRARIA MEDIA SPOTLIGHT[/h3]
The Terraria community is filled with incredible fan media. We love to browse Terraria associated social pages and check out the creative minds sharing wonderful creations. We wanted to spotlight some of the trending media that caught our attention in July. Please let us know if any of the shared media has a different original creator.

Terraria State of the Game - June 2023



Greetings Terrarians!

We hope everyone is enjoying the summer months and getting some much-needed time in the sun. Don't worry, Terraria will be waiting for you when you come in from the heat! We are closing in on the last stages of 1.4.5 development, and we hope that we will be able to have the latest version of Terraria in everyone's hands soon. Beyond that, we have seen several cool things come out lately - from the new minifigures to the Terraria Board Game announcement - and we expect to have a few more fun bits to share in the coming months. We love seeing cool stuff get made that expands and expresses the world of Terraria in different ways, and we hope that you are as well.

With all that said, let's get in to the latest and greatest surrounding all things Terraria!



PC - RE-LOGIC

[h2]TERRARIA 1.4.5 - ENTERING THE (HOPEFULLY) FINAL STRETCH[/h2]

We really enjoyed everyone's detective work on last month's spoiler. You all went way beyond even what we have come to know and love about the community in regards to the dissection of spoilers! The team is in the final push towards the end of content additions and turning a more careful eye towards fixes and balance for the remainder of 1.4.5's development cycle. This phase is always tough to predict timing-wise, as it really depends on how many issues we find and how hard they are to address. That said, we do not think it will be much longer until we will be able to provide a more definitive time window.

Of course, if you don't have Terraria yet - or you know someone who doesn't - there is no better time than right now to pick up a copy while Terraria is 50% off during the Steam Summer Sale!


Click the image above to head to our Steam Store Page!

That said, we would be remiss if we didn't share some of the things that we worked on this past month... so enjoy!


Some changes to the character creation screen shared on r/terraria a week or so ago - in case you missed it. We are already making a few tweaks to this coming out of feedback from that post, but hopefully this will be a nice change for everyone that will allow you to make your character even more your own!


Everyone loves World Seeds right? Well, it is our guess that everyone does - except that a ton of folks who are not immersed in our news posts or the wiki might have no idea they even exist. So, we gave them their own menu to up the accessibility.

Know what else would be cool? If you could combine special World Seeds. What if some of those combinations might also have special hidden effects?

Oh, and the sun effects are a work in progress. Just saying.



[h2]STEAM WORKSHOP NEWS[/h2]


Click the banner above to check out the Terraria Workshop!

We are creeping ever-closer to 100,000 packs/worlds in the Terraria Steam Workshop! You are missing out if you haven't taken the time to check out these amazing creations from the community.



[h2]WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?[/h2]

Mostly focusing on getting 1.4.5 done. The final push, so to speak. Also working on what we hope will be a few more fun surprises.



TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM



Hello everyone!

1.4.4 Preview continues to be live on Steam for modders to port with. We strongly encourage all modders to update their mods and post the updates to Steam in a timely fashion. For more information on accessing the Preview build, please check out tModLoader guide for players

We are excited to see our modding community is already more than half way to our 60% porting effort target! As a reminder, we are waiting to changeover tModLoader to 1.4.4 as the default option until the majority of mods have posted a 1.4.4 version.

Please note that 1.4.4 will NOT replace 1.4.3. 1.4.3 will continue to be available in full through Steam Beta options, just as 1.3 is today.

As always, we kindly request that we all respect modders' time and not hassle them about porting to 1.4.4. Please be respectful as we all wrap up this big jump forward Please stay tuned, and thank you for your patience.



[h2]TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP[/h2]

The TML Steam Workshop has over 5000 mods already! Coupled with the in-game mod browser, the TML Steam Workshop is a great way to explore what modded Terraria has to offer - check it out today by clicking the banner above!



[h3]WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?[/h3]

Finally, we are deep in groundwork conversations and changes to support offering 1.4.4 broadly. We will announce some of these details in the coming weeks in our Discord and on Steam. You will want to stay tuned for that!

As always, you can keep track the current progress and much more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.)

Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)



PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS
Over on the Console/Mobile front, we remain hard at work keeping pace with the PC side while doing the best we can to track down any remaining bugs/fixes from the last update. We hope that the patches we sent out already have helped out - but we are still taking and reading reports, so keep the information coming. As a reminder, this is our current focus list for any additional fixes:

KNOWN ISSUES WITH FIXES UNDERWAY


  • Multiplayer not working for some users on Xbox - the latest backend updates seem to have cleared this up for almost everyone. The only exception seems to be players with bad connections with each other. We are seeing if we can force the system to allow connection anyway, but not sure if this is possible.
  • Issue where the game freezes suddenly for PS4 users - We are working on a hotfix for PS4 with a couple of reported crashes being fixed. This should be available shortly. We're still looking at the PS4 Freezes people are experiencing although we haven't pinned it down, we're looking at the water quality as a possible culprit, if you're having trouble with freezing, try turning down the water quality setting while we continue to investigate as a few players have mentioned this has helped.
  • Old save data not showing anymore for some Xbox users - we are still exploring this. We are almost certain that the data is not lost, just not accessible for some reason. We are still working to replicate this internally, so hang in there!



Now, we haven't had a Mobile spoiler in a while - so let's rectify that now! First of all, the changes to Character Creation have made their way to Console and Mobile...


But wait, there's more! Last month, the PC side showed off the icon images of a few whips. Well, why don't we look at a couple of those in action? Introducing the Soulscourge and Vasculash!






Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

[h2]TERRARIA MERCHANDISE UPDATES[/h2]

[h3]TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME UPDATES[/h3]

In case you missed it, several Terrarians got a unique opportunity to stop by the UK Games Expo to check out the very early in-development version of Terraria: The Board Game last month! The lead designer from our friends at Paper Fort Games had a great time interacting with everyone and listening to your valuable feedback! All of that will be taken back and considered as we continue to evolve and polish what this board game can become.

Well be sharing more about Terraria: The Board Game with you via designer diaries in future State of the Game updates, but in the meantime, we have something quite terrifying to reveal



The image above is an early 3D render of the Wall of Flesh miniature. We want Boss battles in the board game to feel like an event - just like they do in the digital game - so Bosses will spawn when you fulfill the criteria shown on doors of an advent calendar. Once spawned, youll open the door to reveal the miniature, then add it to the board. As you can see, Bosses are modular, with pieces that can be removed or manipulated in other ways to allow Boss stat tracking. Well be revealing more models over the coming months, so keep your eyes peeled!

If you haven't already, sign up here for the latest information!

TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME DETAILS



[h3]TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES[/h3]

We finally have some timing around Book One and the rollout of the issues that will make up Book Two. We expect that Book One will be available sometime in early 2024 (long story short, we need to line up with retailers' desired timelines), while we will see the story continue with the release of Issue 5 and more later this year. Of course, that is all subject to production lead times and whatnot - but we are confident in the changes that we have made from the lessons learned during the initial rollout. We expect a much smoother and more predictable release this time around!

Speaking of folks that encountered those issues, we have chased down every report that the team knows about as of this point. There are a handful in process, but everyone should be taken care of as of now (or very soon). However, if you have any outstanding issues with your order, we do not want to miss you - please reach out to help@50ampproductions.com immediately so that we can take care of this ASAP. Feel free to let us at Re-Logic know via business@re-logic.com (we have been able to help several folks) if you are having any issues as well, but the 50amp email above should be the best way to sort out any stragglers out there!

The art team remains hard at work on Issue 5, and we expect to have our first draft soon! We have one last member of the Goblin Army to show off this month... and maybe we will be able to give a sneak peek at a former member of the Goblin Army next time. I wonder who that could be?


Goblin Sorcerers!

Terraria State of the Game - May 2023



Greetings Terrarians!

Things are certainly heating up outside - but the team has been able to keep its cool by continuing to push ahead with Terraria 1.4.5! We have had some successful localization tests this month (more on that below), while our good friends at DR Studios released 1.4.4.9.2 and have been hard at work fixing a handful of bugs that have cropped up on Console. We have enjoyed watching your reactions to our two big reveals over the last two weeks - hopefully we will have more to come as the years moves on. For now, let's settle in, grab a cold drink, and catch up on the latest and greatest happenings in the world of Terraria!



PC - RE-LOGIC

[h2]TERRARIA - 1.4.5 PROGRESSING NICELY[/h2]

Localization has been the name of the game in May. Bringing three new languages on board - alongside all-new character sets - always SOUNDS easy enough, but it is a pretty monumental task. Lots of checking within the UI for text overruns (which given how huge our game is, that's a tall order!) and so on. That said, we are in a pretty good place at least with the older text (still need to do all of 1.4.5, but that will come when we are done adding content to said update haha). As a matter of fact, let's check out a screen from the Korean localization now!



Getting this step done was always going to take a good amount of time, but with it behind us, the team is really looking into the finishing touches, being sure that we don't want to add anything else, bug fixing, and so on. Hoping to have a release window for you soon!

Over 85,000 packs and worlds so far?! You are missing out if you haven't taken the time to check out the Terraria Steam Workshop.



[h2]WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?[/h2]

Helping out on the board game as time allows, banging away at the remaining to-do list on the update, dreaming and brainstorming.



TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM



Hello everyone!

Another month of hard work on tModLoader 1.4.4 has brought us ever-closer to being able to move this latest version over to the Live Branch. Of course, TML 1.4.4 Preview continues to be live on Steam for modders to port with. We strongly encourage all modders to update their mods and post the updates to Steam in a timely fashion. For more information on accessing the Preview build, please check out https://github.com/tModLoader/tModLoader/wiki/tModLoader-guide-for-players#beta-branches


Looking forward, we are waiting to changeover tModLoader to 1.4.4 as the default option until the majority of mods have posted a 1.4.4 set of files to steam workshop. For effectiveness, we are considering that as when 'the total subscriber count of mods tagged 1.4.4 / total subscriber count of all mods' surpasses 60%. Please stay tuned to our Discord for full visibility.


As always, we kindly request that we all respect modders' time and not hassle them about porting to 1.4.4. Please be respectful as we all wrap up this big jump forward! More information will be made available on the transition to a default 1.4.4 tmodloader as we approach the target. Please stay tuned, and thank you for your patience.



[h2]TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP[/h2]

The TML Steam Workshop has over 4500 mods already! Coupled with the in-game mod browser, the TML Steam Workshop is a great way to explore what modded Terraria has to offer - check it out today by clicking the banner above!



[h3]WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?[/h3]

More of the same - getting TML 1.4.4 ready for prime time and then waiting to see what Terraria 1.4.5 will have in store and how we will need to adjust/account for any changes to bring TML up-to-date.

As always, you can keep track the current progress and much more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.)

Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)



PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS
The team at DR Studios is aware of a handful of bugs that players have encountered on Console since the release of Terraria 1.4.4.9.2. We are actively working to resolve these issues, and we wanted to give you an update on our progress. First off, we have a few things fixed already - and we are working to add in at least a few others before submission to first parties. Second, we wanted to share our full list of known issues so that everyone can know that their reports have been heard. Of course, we welcome any and all additional information that anyone can supply regarding these bugs - you never know what might be the key piece of evidence to break open the investigation!

TERRARIA 1.4.4.9.3 Fixes Done


  • Fixed an issue where players couldn't use Multiplayer on Xbox when setting the "You can communicate with voice, text or invites" permission to "Block"
  • Fixed a Xbox issue where controller inputs would have a delayed reaction in the game
  • Fixed an issue where certain mouse inputs would prevent keyboard from working on Xbox
  • Xbox issue where the keyboard disconnects after an undetermined amount of game play
  • Fixed an issue where the game would stop responding to keyboard input after prolonged play
  • Fixed an issue where the game would crash when loading into Multiplayer



KNOWN ISSUES WITH FIXES UNDERWAY

  • Multiplayer not working for some users on Xbox
  • Issue where the game freezes suddenly for PS4 users
  • Old save data not showing anymore for some Xbox users


Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

[h3]TERRARIA CHIBICHAN MINIFIGURES - PREORDERS UNDERWAY![/h3]


Last month, we revealed that our friends over at Terraria.Shop would be bringing the first lineup of Terraria minifigures to everyone very soon. Well, that time is now! To be clear, we expect these figures will be produced and ready to be in folks' hands sometime in Q3 of this year. At that time, we plan to have these as a readily-available product (with future series adding more enemies, NPCs, characters, etc to the lineup). However, we wanted to give everyone a chance to preorder now so that they could be sure to get theirs when the time comes!

[previewyoutube=V0vS3LnTCQo;full][/previewyoutube]

For full details on how this will all work - including an exclusive free bonus figure for anyone that preorders - check out our post linked below!

We have even more fun things in store for everyone, but these are honestly REALLY cool, so we hope that everyone will enjoy them!



[h3]TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME REVEALED![/h3]

Last week, we shared the amazing news that Terraria will be coming to the world of board games in the near future. The great folks over at Paper Fort Games are hard at work already, with early prototypes already coming into focus. This board game implementation will expand the universe of Terraria by faithfully adapting and combining the digital games biome exploration, character progression, base building and epic combat with tabletop mechanisms - alongside a fresh new art style - to create a co-operative adventure that will resonate with both long-time fans and novice Terrarians.

To check out all of the details, be sure to take a minute to read our post about Terraria - The Board Game, which contains details about timing, how it will be sold, and more!

TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME DETAILS



[h3]TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES[/h3]

The Book One collection, which we are preparing for shipment to retailers, is still in the works. One thing that we were asked for was a suitably-epic cover to encompass the story thus far. We rather like it.



Emails have been proactively sent out to folks that 50amp is aware of that have had issues with the receipt of anything from Issues 1-4. However, there may be some delivery situations where they are not aware that issues have occurred. If you have not received the earlier email and/or you are still having issues with your order, please reach out to help@50ampproductions.com immediately so that we can take care of this ASAP. Feel free to let us at Re-Logic know via business@re-logic.com (we have been able to help with a few orders over the last month!) if you are having any issues as well, but the 50amp email above should be the best way to sort out any stragglers out there!

We have completed the character sketch and script phase for Issue 5 - so now the hard work to pull all of that art together is underway. We are super excited to be able to share the next stage of Vale's Terraria journey with you all very soon. In the meantime, you can look forward to further spoilers along the way... like this one, the latest in our teasers for the Goblin Army!

Terraria: The Board Game - Coming Soon!



Greetings Terrarians!

We are very excited to at long last be able to reveal that we are working with our good friends at Paper Fort Games on the official Terraria Board Game! As you can imagine, this is a huge project - and not one that we take lightly. This board game adaptation will expand the universe of Terraria by faithfully combining the digital games biome exploration, character progression, base building and epic combat with tabletop mechanisms - alongside a fresh new art style - to create a co-operative adventure that will resonate with both long-time fans and novice Terrarians!

"We are very excited to work with Re-Logic; as an indie design studio ourselves, we have deep respect for what such a small team have achieved, their commitment to making the best game possible and their dedication to the Terraria community. We cant wait to bring the world of Terraria to the tabletop!" - Paper Fort Games


Terraria: The board Game box art.
Dig, fight, explore and build in this co-operative tabletop adventure for 1-4 intrepid Terrarians!


[h3]What fun details can YOU find in the new cover art?[/h3]



So, now that we have your attention, what's the timeline and the plan for Terraria: the Board Game?

[h2]TIMELINE[/h2]
We expect that Terraria: the Board Game will take a good amount of time to develop and polish in order to land on a fantastic final version. As such, we do not expect it to be available this year (for example). We will narrow down the window more once we get to the crowdfunding stage and we have a better sense for progress and scope to-date.

Also, you can expect to see spoilers from time to time, as is tradition with Terraria!



[h2]PURCHASE & CROWDFUNDING[/h2]
As is common in the Board Game space, this project will utilize crowdfunding to help ensure that the project can hit the scope and quality level that Terraria deserves. Paper Fort Games (and its sister company Stone Sword Games) have a great track record in this space with funding and bringing great games to the market. All of the details around this - timing, amounts, reward levels, etc. will be revealed in the months ahead.


[h2]WHAT'S NEXT AND HOW DO YOU KEEP INFORMED[/h2]
Early alpha prototype: Will be on show at UK Games Expo (UK Games Expo), held at the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, UK from Friday 2nd to Sunday 4th June 2023. Youll find Paper Fort Games at stand 1-1025. We would love for any Terrarians in the area to stop by, check it out, and let us know what you think!

We have also created a link for interested Terrarians to sign up to be sure that they always get the latest news on Terraria: the Board Game. We have shared this link below - so feel free to go ahead and sign up to be sure that you are in the know!

Of course, you can always keep an eye on the Terraria socials for the latest Terraria news as well - including tidbits about Terraria: the Board Game!

Terraria Minifigure Preorders Now Open!



Greetings Terrarians!

As you may recall, we teased the Terraria Chibichan minifigures in last month's State of the Game... and we said at the time that more information would be coming up in May. Well, we are very pleased to announce that the awesome first series of these minifigures are now available for preorder over on Terraria.shop! We have all of the juicy details below, so read on to learn more!



TERRARIA CHIBICHAN MINIFIGURES


Terraria Chibichans will be released as series of 12 minifigures at a time, with one Rare figure (so, 13 total in each Series). ach figure is up to 3" tall and made of vinyl, with a unique and consistent art style that helps to look great together. You can head to the preorder page by clicking any image in this post or via the link below:

[h2]TERRARIA CHIBICANS WAVE ONE PREORDERS LINK[/h2]


These will be sold in blind box format - online for now, and hopefully at retailers in the future. We are also offering the ability to purchase the entire set of 12 at once, to allow fans to ensure that they can get them all if they want to with no repeats. The only exception is the Rare Figure - for this set, that is the Gold Goldfish - though anyone purchasing the set of 12 does have a chance that their Goldfish will be Gold!

All that said, what's the lineup for the first wave of figures?




PREORDERS & TIMELINES
We expect that these will ship out to customers sometime in September 2023. After that point, they will remain available on Terraria.shop moving forward.

All pre-orders will receive a free Gold Bunny minifigure (one per order) - these will be exclusive to the pre-order period as a thank you to the fans that pre-order any minifigures.

Terraria State of the Game - April 2023



Greetings Terrarians!

Can we just say that we are always so excited when Spring finally arrives? Everything turning green, the temperature outside finally making it pleasant to get outdoors - new life springing up everywhere. Sort of how it has felt on the Terraria teams as well, with everyone finding their stride again as we push towards the completion of the 1.4.5 update. Even so, it is hard not to look beyond that into the work in front of us to try and make crossplay a reality (no promises!) and whatever else lies ahead. This is a really exciting time for our team, and we hope that all of you are ready to embark on the journey ahead alongside us. However, that's a story for another State of the Game.

For now, let's get rolling on the latest and greatest Terraria news!



PC - RE-LOGIC

[h2]TERRARIA - 1.4.5 IS DRAWING EVER-CLOSER[/h2]

The team has started to adjust to the new normal, and we have accomplished a lot over the past month towards getting Terraria 1.4.5 back on track. We are starting to get a more clear sense for what remains to finish and for when we might be able to get this out to everyone. No, that does not mean that we have a date to give you yet - unfortunately, QA and Balancing work is part of what remains to do... and that will be where we are most challenged in the new structure. Still, we hope that we can provide a time frame for 1.4.5 soon.

As for what the team has been working on, we have recently been laying the groundwork to add a few new languages to Terraria for PC - Japanese, Korean, and (potentially) Traditional Chinese. These are large playerbases that have had Terraria on other platforms, but have never had it localized to their native language. This will also be important for Crossplay (should we be successful in those efforts), we feel, to enable Terrarians in those countries to have a shared experience.

That said, is it spoiler time? Why, I believe it is!

A little while back, Redigit teased that a Shimmer Water Gun might be a thing...




Well, how about we show you this beauty in action for this month's spoiler? To be clear, the Shimmer Water Gun only transforms NPCs - for all other uses, you will have to seek out the Aether...



In case you missed it on Twitter a week or so ago, Crowno shared his revamps of Boss Trophies to go alongside the Banner revamps we showed last time!

Over 84,000 packs and worlds so far?! You are missing out if you haven't taken the time to check out the Terraria Steam Workshop.



[h2]WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?[/h2]

Planning for what comes next, working with DR Studios on Crossplay stuff (cross your fingers!), and a ton of really cool goings-on in regards to merchandise and the Graphic Novel.



TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM



Hello everyone!

It has been a month since we released/announced the 1.4.4 tModLoader preview was ready for modders to start porting their mods - and what a month it has been! We are so pleased to report that the port to 1.4.4 is well underway for several major mods, and the feedback that modders and other early users have shared with us thus far has been invaluable towards fixing bugs and improving the features of TML 1.4.4. Once again, we encourage all modders to get their mods up to date so we can release tML 1.4.4 to players in a timely fashion, allowing players to dive right back into their favorite mods on day one.



[h2]TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP[/h2]

The TML Steam Workshop has over 4500 mods already! Coupled with the in-game mod browser, the TML Steam Workshop is a great way to explore what modded Terraria has to offer - check it out today by clicking the banner above!



[h3]WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?[/h3]

More of the same - getting TML 1.4.4 ready for prime time and then waiting to see what Terraria 1.4.5 will have in store and how we will need to adjust/account for any changes to bring TML up-to-date.

As always, you can keep track the current progress and much more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.)

Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)



PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS
Now that the development work on the technical updates is complete, the team at DR has shifted gears towards bringing 1.4.5 over to Console and Mobile platforms! The technical update (1.4.4.9.2) should be rolling out to everyone soon, so keep an eye out for that and let us know if you encounter any issues whatsoever.

With that said, wish us luck on the Terraria 1.4.5 path... as with Labor of Love, our goal is to launch simultaneously alongside PC - hopefully with a GLOBAL simultaneous launch this time around. We may have some other surprises in store, but it is much too soon to know if those will work out so we will just leave you wondering for now.

So, keep an eye out for 1.4.4.9.2 and look forward to us sharing our progress as we catch up to what the Re-Logic team has already done for 1.4.5!

Oh yeah, and wish us luck as we get prepared to enter the wild world of Crossplay development soon.

Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

[h2]TERRARIA MERCHANDISE UPDATES[/h2]

[h3]COMING SOON: TERRARIA CHIBICHAN MINIFIGURES![/h3]


Our fantastic partners over at Terraria.Shop are at long last ready to announce that the first lineup of Terraria minifigures will be soon be available! This is a product line that the Re-Logic team has been looking forward to for some time. The old Terraria figures from back in the day were good in their way, but we are very excited about the look and style of these! We really feel that they capture the style of Terraria in a way that feels unique and authentic. We hope you agree!

Expect more details about the rollout of the first wave of Terraria Chibichans sometime next month! If you want to be sure not to miss the announcement, you can sign up for the mailing list at Terraria.Shop as well.

This is the first of a lot of cool Terraria merch offerings that we have been teasing over the past few months. We are looking forward to sharing even more in the months ahead!



[h3]TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES[/h3]

The Book One collection, which will be available later this year via book retailers is drawing ever-closer. More on this when we have details (working on a new cover for this as well!).

We are aware that some folks out there are still having issues with receipt of their Issues 1-4 orders. For everyone that has not yet received your shipment for Issues 1-4, you should be receiving an email from 50 Amp Productions soon. If you do not receive this email and you still have not received your package, please reach out to help@50ampproductions.com immediately so that we can take care of this ASAP. Feel free to let us at Re-Logic know (business@re-logic.com is the best way to be sure it is seen) if you are having any issues as well, but the 50amp email above should be the best way to sort out any stragglers out there!

In addition, the 50amp team is doing a full review of fulfillment processes to ensure that a repeat of this does not occur with any future issues.

We have a final script for Issue 5, so work on translating that over into art can begin in earnest. Continuing in our line of teaser images... here is a peek at another member of the fearsome Goblin Army, the Goblin Peon!

Terraria State of the Game - March 2023



Greetings Terrarians!

March already - Spring is nearly here! We will be glad for it and the chance to enjoy some warmer weather and the "greening up" of the outdoors. Fresh air is never a bad thing! It has been quite a challenging month for our entire team since the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Jason "Leinfors" Parker, at the end of February. The team has had a lot to sort through on this - but we are back up and running. It may still take some time to fully figure out the best ways of working moving forward, but we feel like we at least have a handle on things well enough to get 1.4.5 back on the road to completion. Thank you all again for your love and support, it means more than we can say.

Let's get into the latest then, shall we?



PC - RE-LOGIC

[h2]TERRARIA - 1.4.5 SEEING PROGRESS AGAIN[/h2]

It has been quite a challenging month for our entire team since the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Jason "Leinfors" Parker, at the end of February. Beyond the emotional side of things, we have had quite a bit to unravel in terms of ways of working, figuring out how to best carry on what he was working on, etc. We are still in the midst of that process, but the team is up and running again - and we cannot thank you all enough for your outpouring of love and support during this extremely difficult time.

We feel like we have a decent handle on how best to proceed at this point - definitely enough so that we can progress towards the completion of 1.4.5. After a couple of weeks off to mourn and gather ourselves, the team has been hard at work pulling together an update that we hope will make everyone happy. Thus far, we haven't had a chance to show anything off, but let's end that streak with this month's SOTG!


Just a little taste for now - revamped banners from the amazingly-talented Crowno!

[h2]WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?[/h2]

One eye on crossplay
Another on what is next
A big year ahead



TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM



Hello everyone!

We are very happy to share that 1.4.4 is ready for modders to start porting mods! To set expectations, the preview is in an early access state, there are still several bugs to fix, and mods may break periodically as we make necessary changes in response to modder feedback, but we encourage everyone out there to start the process of porting your mods over to 1.4.4 if you have not already.
[h3]
tML 1.4.4 is not yet what we would consider player-ready, to be clear, but it is very ready for modders to begin their work!
[/h3]

In addition, there have been multiple major changes in the tML engine, to support better localization, performance and cross-mod compatibility. These improvements will make for a much better tML experience both now and in the future. We know that everyone is excited to see their favorite mods make it over to 1.4.4, but remember to please be patient with modders as they port, adapting to the new systems will take time and many modders may be busy with school/work/family!



[h2]TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP[/h2]

The TML Steam Workshop has over 4200 mods already! Coupled with the in-game mod browser, the TML Steam Workshop is a great way to explore what modded Terraria has to offer - check it out today by clicking the banner above!



[h3]WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?[/h3]

Pushing closer and closer to a player-ready 1.4.4 version of tML... and then getting ready for whatever 1.4.5 has in store!

As always, you can keep track the current progress and much more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.)

Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)



PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS
The team at DR is also beyond saddened by the passing of Leinfors. He has been an integral part in the testing and improvements on Console and Mobile for years - since our taking over the project and long before that. His impact is greatly appreciated and will be sorely missed.

While the Re-Logic folks remain hard at work with getting 1.4.5 up to the point where we can begin our porting work in earnest (don't worry, we will catch up quickly!), we have taken the opportunity to conduct some backend technical work in order to prepare for the future (and crossplay). Of course, this is not always the most exciting kind of stuff to talk about - but it is necessary to keep the game's foundations strong, and the timing was perfect given that we needed to wait a bit for 1.4.5 to progress before we could get fully involved.

What is in this technical update?
[h3]1.4.4.9.2 Change Log
[/h3]
Changes and additions


  • Improved the way backgrounds zoom in and out
  • Massive internal systems upgrade in preparation for crossplay, bringing the latest APIs and a huge rework of the Xbox backend... Hold on to your butts!


Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the game would crash after creating two small worlds consecutively
  • Fixed an issue where the Aether Monolith was not giving off light
  • Fixed an issue where the seaweed in ocean caverns would not be visible
  • Fixed an issue where some iOS users were unable to host Multiplayer sessions
  • Fixed an issue where vanity accessories would disappear from the player selection screen when exiting a world immediately after death


Our Console & Mobile friends will be seeing this update soon, as it is almost ready for submission to first parties. We are at work now on a similar technical-side update for Mobile, which we expect to wrap up in the next few weeks. At that point, we will turn our full attention towards getting 1.4.5 on to Console and Mobile with our goal as before being a simultaneous launch with PC.

...and then, we prepare to work on entering the crossplay dimension. We are so excited to see what this work will hold!

Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

[h3]LOTS OF COOL NEW STUFF COMING YOUR WAY IN 2023![/h3]

We came so close to having some pretty cool things to show off... but we feel it is best to wait one more month. So, we should have some new stuff to showcase to everyone next month, if all goes to plan. We think you are going to be really excited about some of what is in store.



[h3]TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES[/h3]

The team is hard at work on putting together the full Book One package for retailers (Issues 1-4 in one book plus some bonus goodies). We expect that to be available in the second half of 2023.

If you have not yet received your shipment for Issues 1-4, please reach out to help@50ampproductions immediately so that we can take care of this ASAP. Feel free to let us know if you are having any issues as well, but the email above should be the best way to sort out any stragglers out there!

Work continues on Book Two's script and character development. Here's a quick sneak peek into that process - the concept/character sketch for a couple of Goblin Thieves. We will leave you to speculate about what that may mean for at least part of what is to come in Book Two.

Know that we appreciated EVERY single tribute and kind message that anyone sent along. Truly, we have the best community of fans - your love picked us up when we were at our lowest point.

[h3]LEINFORS MEMORIAL SERVER[/h3]

The Leinfors memorial server was a community initiative hosted by Nescre, from DR Studios, from February 23 until March 26. The primary goal of the server was to provide users an opportunity to commemorate Leinfors, whose tireless commitment to this game and love for its community touched the lives of millions. On the server there were well over 40 builds made, each honoring Leinfors in their own unique way. In addition to this, many heartfelt messages were left by players, paying respects to or sharing memories of their interactions with Leinfors. The final product of this world serves as a celebration of the irreplaceable player-developer rapport Leinfors formed with our community, both through his friendliness and tireless dedication to his craft.

Leinfors family played an active role in the memorial server and all Terraria staff cant express enough how appreciative we are of everyone that contributed. Whether you built something, or simply left a message, your willingness to help commemorate him has meant a lot.

If you'd like to download a copy of the world, you can find it on Steam Workshop here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2953301895

Below are screenshots of a few builds people made on the server.


This is the snow pylon cabin, built by Stardust#8145. It was created after finding out that Leinfors really liked the snowstorm aesthetic of the snow biome.


This is the cavern pylon, built by Chronostasis#9117. Featuring a purple crystalline aesthetic, and including references to the Empress of Light and Leinfors shampoo, this build serves as an expansive and touching tribute.


This is the message board. The cloud and pillars were made by Nescre#0001, while the beautiful pixel art above it was made by Hallow Ice#2713. It served as the primary space for players to leave messages for Leinfors.


This is the Shimmer Sky Lake, built by Leinfors brother Aurailen#3333. Featuring shimmer instead of water, a crystalline aesthetic, and a heartfelt message at its center, it is a memorial which effectively encapsulates & celebrates his legacy.


This is the Temple of Leinfors, made by Lunautical#8819. A very clever combination of blocks, actuators, and walls were used to achieve the 3D effect in this build!


This is the Palm of Leins Hand, made by Hallow Ice#2713. A great deal of consideration was put into the specific blocks chosen, leading to an incredibly detailed shading job!


This is the heaven monument. It was contributed to by a variety of builders, including Nescre#0001, Moon Lord, and DuneX22#5256. It takes a regular sky island and completely repurposes it, containing mannequins of Leinfors coworkers as well as a cloud where he resides.


This is LeinTower, built by Adrian Delta Supdog#4063. Included within this massive build is a vault, a hot springs pool, as well as a room containing Leinfors favorite foods.



Until next time, Terrarians - we hope you have an amazing month, and we look forward to bringing you the latest and greatest next time!

Terraria State of the Game - January 2023



Greetings Terrarians!

Happy 2023 to you all - we hope it will be an amazing year for you and for Terraria! The team is back in action after a well-needed break over the month of December (which is why we had no State of the Game to provide for that month) - and work on Terraria 1.4.5 is in full swing. As you can imagine, most of the new stuff we have planned for this update is not quite ready to be shown. However, we have been able to provide a tidbit or two that we hope you will enjoy and that will increase your anticipation for this latest update. 2023 is going to be quite the year for Terraria, based on what is in our plans. Hopefully, it will go down as the year of Terraria Crossplay, amongst other things. As always, we enter this new year energized and empowered by your amazing support. We cannot wait until you can see what is in store.

Here's to another fantastic year of Terraria!



PC - RE-LOGIC

[h2]TERRARIA - 1.4.5 IS UNDERWAY![/h2]

As you may have heard, the team finished off the needed hotfixes for the Labor of Love update in November, and it seemed like a great time for the team to take a little break to spend time with friends and family in order to recharge our collective batteries. Mission accomplished on that front, and we are already hard at work with the next Terraria update that we teased just before we left for the year in 2022. (If you missed it, check that out HERE)

Most of the first few weeks of 2023 have been spent in planning out the scope of the 1.4.5 update and getting a few things rolling. As a result, we do not have a ton to showcase at this stage... but rest assured that when we have spoilers to share, we will do so. You know we won't be able to help ourselves!

We hope that at least gives you a little glimpse into what we have in store for 1.4.5. To be sure, there will be plenty more to share as development carries on. For now, here's to 2023 starting off with a bang!

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM



Hello everyone!

We've completed our localization rework for 1.4.4 and we are very excited to have modders using this new system soon. As always, we strive to improve the modloader with large amounts of bugfixes and features. This month saw some notable changes such as family share usability, speed improvements when publishing mods, tooltip fixes, and a whole host of changes to allow mods to function better.

With the localization overhaul completed, we are getting close to having a testing build ready. Our rough plans with the test build will be to put it on our Preview beta and give modders up to 2 months to play with it, update their mods, and provide feedback on bugs. If all goes perfectly, we hope to have this test build available before the end of February.

PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS
The team at DR Studios was also able to enjoy a relaxing break over the holidays, after bringing everyone up to content parity once again by the end of 2022! It is so exciting to be able to do a sync launch and then push through all of the needed fixes by year-end and to have all Terrarians together.

Of course, we cannot begin work on 1.4.5 until there is actually content in 1.4.5 to move over... so we have started off the new year by working to upgrade the core engine and software library versions in preparation for the release of cross play. This ensures that we have a stable foundation for the years ahead. In addition to that, we are fixing as many bugs as possible along the way - so please continue posting them in the forums for us to look into and fix!

Our plan is to get all of this Console/Mobile specific work done in parallel to 1.4.5 and then dive right into 1.4.5 and once again launch alongside PC. After that, we will be fully focused on solving the technical and other challenges of Crossplay! Wish us luck!

Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

It has been a ton of fun to keep innovating and bringing out cool new Terraria merch for everyone to enjoy. We also love having it all over our respective offices, homes, etc. 2023 will be no exception, as we will at long last be able to roll out some amazing pieces that we have been working on for some time.

The time is not QUITE right to share any of this... but stay tuned for what is to come.

In the meantime, all Town Slime Plush and the Cultist Hoodie should be back in stock this week at Terraria.shop after the Holiday rush sold them out!



[h3]TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES - FINAL SHIPMENTS FROM BOOK ONE SHOULD ALL BE EN ROUTE![/h3]

After some hiccups late in 2022 - which caused the shipments of Issues 3&4 (as well as Issues 1-4 bundles as a result) to be delayed into the distribution centers for 50 Amp - we are happy to share that all of these shipments are on their way. Be on the lookout for your package - some may arrive even before the tracking numbers do for you (long story short, they have to enter tracking numbers to send to you by hand, and they wanted to get the boxes out first and then worry about that after). Anyone with an active order should have received an email with this information over the past week or so.



So, if you ordered Issues of the Terraria Graphic Novel, keep an eye on your mailbox (unless you bundled Issues 1-4 together... in which case, you have to wait a bit longer)! If you would like to check on the status of your particular order - or ask any other questions - feel free to contact 50 Amp at help@50ampproductions.com.

Thanksgiving is here, and this is always a great time for our team to reflect on the earlier parts of the year as a reminder of just how blessed we are to have such amazing fans and for the opportunity to do what we do each and every day. This feeling is perhaps stronger this year than in the past, owing to the Labor of Love update - how it came about, how we built it, and your reactions since it was released. Starting 2022 with a Steam Award that you all voted to give us, being inspired by that to make a truly fan-focused update, and then interacting so much with the community to share ideas... what a year it has been! We know we say it all the time, but we are truly thankful for all of you out there. You make this fun and worthwhile, even after all this time. Heading into 2023, we are already looking forward to what Terraria 1.4.5 will have in store for everyone - and we hope you are as well. Enjoy the Holidays, Terrarians, and thank you so much for being who you are and for all of your support for our team!



PC - RE-LOGIC

[h2]TERRARIA - LABOR OF LOVE FIXES COMPLETE[/h2]

Another month, another set of hotfixes for Labor of Love! You all have been really on the ball in getting us detailed and useful reports since launch. So much so that we have already released nine hotfixes since release! At this point, we feel like things are in a good place based on current reporting and our own observations. Thus, it is our plan to call 1.4.4.9 the "final" fixed version of Terraria 1.4.4 - meaning that the team can now turn its attention towards 1.4.5 and beyond.

Prior to that, however, the team will be taking a bit of time to spend time with friends, family, and probably a new game or three. Expect the news to be a bit light in the meantime... but we will be back at it soon enough with glimpses and spoilers into the latest and greatest in the world of Terraria!

Of course, feel free to keep those bug reports coming in. Be sure to use the Bug Report section on Terraria Community Forums for the best chance to be certain that your specific issue is not missed!

Alternatively, you can report things in the LOL launch thread or on the pinned discussions here on Steam.

Nearly 70,000 packs and worlds so far?! You are missing out if you haven't taken the time to check out the Terraria Steam Workshop. At long last, we are back with our latest Developer's Choice selections! Check those out down below...

To reiterate as well, now that hotfixes are done, expect a period of focused attention on cleaning up some stuff. Feel free to flag anything you feel is concerning to help us in this effort.

I always thought there was something fishy about that guy...



[h2]WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?[/h2]

Nothing? Just fixes and more fixes... with maybe one half of one eye looking in the direction of discussing how we might best approach Crossplay.



TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM



Hello everyone!

We've just about caught up to vanilla Terraria, version-wise, and have tML running well in the 1.4.4 era. We are actively discussing with the modding community on when to make the swap over to this latest version as the default/live version of tML. In addition to the "coming soon" 1.4.4 compatibility, several contributors are actively working on ways to bring new features to modders, which we will delve into at a later date. As always, we are more than happy to have more hands on deck getting these features accessible - so don't be shy if you feel like you could contribute!

As we look towards closing out our initial porting efforts for tML 1.4.4, our eyes are turning back to improving tML with some long overdue localization upgrades on the horizon. Stay tuned for more information on upcoming overhauls!



[h2]TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP[/h2]

The TML Steam Workshop has over 3200 mods already! Coupled with the in-game mod browser, the TML Steam Workshop is a great way to explore what modded Terraria has to offer - check it out today by clicking the banner above!



[h3]WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?[/h3]

As we shared above, once we have successfully moved tML 1.4.4 over into the default/live space (along with any needed fixes), we will be turning our attention towards needed localization as well as some new potential features for modders. More to come on that once we get past the release of 1.4.4!

As always, you can keep track the current progress and much more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.)

Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)



PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS
The team at DR Studios was able to get Terraria 1.4.4.5 (along with some bonus fixes) out to everyone over the past month. We are also excited to reveal that we have submitted the second "wave" of Terraria fixes to first parties this morning. We expect this to roll out to players starting later today, as the various companies (Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, etc.) approve and release the update.

This will bring Console and Mobile back in line with the PC version at v1.4.4.9! What a great way to end the year!

Mobile Dedicated Server users - you will need to update to the 1.4.4.9 Dedicated Server >HERE


Crossplay planning is also in full swing, and we feel pretty good and confident with where we have netted out in those discussions. Of course, having a great plan is only one part of a much larger and longer effort to try and make Terraria Crossplay happen. Once we are able to get a better sense for if our plan will be acceptable on the Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo/Apple/Google side of things, we will try to share as much about our approach as possible - and maybe even tease you with a spoiler or two.

Oh, and a lot depends on what goes into 1.4.5 and when it arrives as well - we can't have Crossplay without everyone being on the same version, after all!

Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

In case you missed it, shipments for Issues 1 & 2 have been going out over the past few weeks - and we have to say, we are really blown away by the quality now that we have had our own chance to see it in person. Here is a quick photo from one of our team members to show you just what we mean:

So, if you ordered Issues of the Terraria Graphic Novel, keep an eye on your mailbox (unless you bundled Issues 1-4 together... in which case, you have to wait a bit longer)! The order windows for the initial shipments of Issues 1-4 may have passed, but you can still order your package of choice for delivery in the second shipment - likely in early 2023.

[h2]OTHER COMMUNITY NEWS[/h2]
[h3]TERRARIA LABOR OF HALLOW'S EVE CONTEST FINALISTS AND COMMUNITY VOTING[/h3]


All of the entries are in for the Labor of Hallow's Eve contest... and holy crap, you all blew us away with the sheer number and quality of the entries. It has taken us a few weeks to whittle down from nearly 1,000 entries to a list of semi-finalists, and then the Re-Logic team has taken the honors of picking our Category Winners. As a reminder, the winner of each category wins some fabulous prizes - and becomes a Finalist for the Grand Prize: a real-life Meowmere Sword!

The Grand Prize will be decided by Community Vote - so you will want to check out the thread below to see who won each Category and to see how to vote for the Ultimate Winner!

TERRARIA LABOR OF HALLOW'S EVE CONTEST CATEGORY WINNERS & GRAND PRIZE FINALISTS[/h3]


If you want to skip straight to the voting - the voting form is linked below:

We also put together a "Showcase" of some of the really cool entries that might not have quite made it to the top - but that we feel everyone in the Community should see!
TERRARIA LABOR OF HALLOW'S EVE - SHOWCASE THREAD

In case you missed the details on the contest, you can check those out below:

THE LABOR OF HALLOW'S EVE CONTEST DETAILS


Thank you so much to everyone that entered. This was beyond any doubt the most brutally hard contest we have ever had to judge. Really, any number of the top 25 (or more) in some categories would have been legit winners... but, there can be only one!


[h3]GAME JOLT x TERRARIA EVENT[/h3]


In case you missed it, Skeletron Prime invaded GameJolt a week or so ago! Brave players from the Community were able to craft weapons and take the fight to the infamous mechanical evil... and thwart whatever its evil plans happened to be!



A hearty thank you to the Terrarians that took part in this event and saved the day. If you haven't checked out the Terraria Community on GameJolt, there is no better time than now!




[h3]A NEW GRAND PRIZE WINNER ON THE TERRARIA DISCORD SERVER[/h3]

We Have Another Winner - Grand Prize Claimed on Terraria Discord Server! Congratulations go out to General-KJ on being an epic Terrarian!

Let us put our hands together and give a massive round of applause to General-KJ#9914 for winning the grand prize available in the official Terraria Discord server prize shop.

2022 Terraria Holiday Shopping Guide



Happy Holidays, Terrarians!

2022 has been a heck of a year in the world of Terraria. We started off the year with the fantastic news that you all had voted us the winners of the 2021 Labor of Love Steam Award, later to be recognized in amazing fashion with the Labor of Love update release on all platforms at once - a first for Terrarians! We also saw the release of the first four issues/Book One of the Terraria Graphic Novel series alongside a ton of other cool merch. Topping it off, we shared the news a bit ago that Terraria 1.4.5 is coming your way in 2023... hopefully with Crossplay to come sometime after that. As always, we are beyond thankful for the loyalty and support that you all have shown us over the years. We do not take it lightly, and we can only hope that you feel that we have and will continue to do that support justice.

All that said, the Holiday Season is indeed upon us - and coming with that is the usual Holiday Shopping season! We have really made concerted efforts over the past 3-4 years to build out a pretty extensive line of Terraria products and merchandise for fans to pick up and enjoy... or to give as gifts to the other Terrarians in their lives. There have been several new additions to those offerings this year, and we are going to reveal even more in this post - just in time for the Holidays. So, consider this your 2022 Terrarian Holiday Shopping Guide - and if you are so inclined, take a look at what all there is on offer and maybe pick up something cool for yourself or a loved one. Happy Holidays!


TERRARIA MERCHANDISE STORE HUB


Throughout the year, best place to be able to see all of the available Terraria merchandise listed in one place is our Terraria Merchandise Hub (terraria.org/store).

Terraria 1.4.5 is Coming in 2023 - including Terraria x Dead Cells!



Greetings, Terrarians!

We are very happy to share that Terraria has made its way into the insanely good metroidvania hack-and-slash roguelite, Dead Cells! As always, we are thrilled to collaborate with our fellow top-notch indie developers out there.

If you want the full scoop behind the new Terraria content in Dead Cells, check out the details of their update (that landed today) below!

Click the Banner above to check out everything there is to know about the latest Dead Cells update!

[previewyoutube=A_kmohIc-b4;full][/previewyoutube]
Check out the trailer for today's Dead Cells update, including Terraria x Dead Cells!


Starfury wielded by The Guide in Dead Cells!



Wait a second, we hear you saying... shouldn't a crossover have content on both sides? Why indeed it should! That's why we are revealing today that Terraria 1.4.5 - at least part of which will include Terraria x Dead Cells content - will be coming your way in 2023!

Work on this update will begin in earnest when the team starts work in the new year - and after all of the needed hotfixes for 1.4.4 are completed. What all will Terraria 1.4.5 contain? Well, you will just have to wait and see when the time comes.

We hope this will help to get everyone hyped for the end of the year and what is to come in 2023 (which will also hopefully be the year of Crossplay... cross your fingers)!

Stay tuned for more information in the weeks and months ahead!

Terraria State of the Game - October 2022



Greetings Terrarians!

After a month off - I mean what would the "State of the Game" have been, "Labor of Love is out, go play it instead of reading this"? - we are back once again with the latest and greatest news from the world of Terraria. It has been a month of bug fixing for all of our teams and that work should continue for at least a bit longer. What's next after that? Well, we have already had a few meetings about Crossplay strategy... so that's a thing. Beyond that, you will have to wait and see what we might have in mind in regards to what direction our team decides to head. For now, let's head out for some spooktacular treats - and maybe only a few tricks. Happy Halloween!



PC - RE-LOGIC

[h2]TERRARIA - LABOR OF LOVE GETS FIXES (BOI)[/h2]

On the Re-Logic side of development, we have been solely focused on hotfixes for the Labor of Love update. In less than a month, we have managed to get seven hotfixes out to everyone, and we are already underway with number eight. As always, we greatly appreciate your detailed reports and your patience as we sort out the inevitable bugs that crawl out of the woodwork with any update release.

While we certainly are keeping an eye out for bugs everywhere we can, be sure to use the Bug Report section on Terraria Community Forums for the best chance to be certain that your specific issue is not missed!

[h3]TCF BUG REPORTING FOR TERRARIA[/h3]

Alternatively, you can report things in the LOL launch thread or on the pinned discussions here on Steam.



[h2]STEAM WORKSHOP NEWS[/h2]


Click the banner above to check out the Terraria Workshop!

Closing in on 68,000 packs and worlds so far, you are missing out if you haven't taken the time to check out the Workshop yet. We wanted to get a Developer's Choice done before Labor of Love, but we ran short on time... so there is still a chance to get yours loaded for our review!

When the fixes are done, expect a period of focused attention on cleaning up some stuff. This keeps getting delayed by work on 1.4.4 and its fixes... but it has not been forgotten.



[h2]WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?[/h2]

Nothing? Just fixes and more fixes... with maybe one half of one eye looking in the direction of discussing how we might best approach Crossplay.



TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM



Hello everyone!

Bug fixing continues unabated, with a focus on some resolution issues as well as making some improvements on game starting as well as server hosting. We expect this work to continue for some time as we work to make the TML experience as fantastic as possible.

Other members of the team have been able to take a good amount of time to focus on bringing TML up to the 1.4.4/Labor of Love era. This work is going very well, though we really cannot give any sort of solid timeline for this release - in large part because Re-Logic is still putting out hotfixes! We have been doing all that we can to work closely with Modders as well in order to ensure a reasonable and smooth transition to 1.4.4, and not just breaking every mod day one.

More on timing when we can provide an accurate estimate!



[h2]TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP[/h2]

The TML Steam Workshop is closing in on 3000 mods already! Coupled with the in-game mod browser, the TML Steam Workshop is a great way to explore what modded Terraria has to offer - check it out today by clicking the banner above!



[h3]WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?[/h3]

Getting TML to 1.4.4 and making that launch as smooth as we can is the core focus of the team for the next little while. The team has some ideas beyond that, but we really want to focus on the short term needs for now.

As always, you can keep track the current progress and such more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.)

Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)



PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS

The team at DR Studios is working hard to keep pace with the PC fixes, while also working on some Console and Mobile specific bugfixes. 1.4.4.1 should already be in the hands of everyone, and we are happy to share that 1.4.4.5 is live for iOS and Android as of this morning!

[h3]TERRARIA MOBILE AND CONSOLE 1.4.4.5 CHANGELOG[/h3]
[h3]TERRARIA MOBILE DEDICATED SERVER 1.4.4.5[/h3]

- Amazon and Google "Trial" versions are trailing behind a bit. Amazon should submit tomorrow. "Trial" will be delayed further due to an additional requirement requested by Google during submission.
- Console versions of 1.4.4.5 are expected to be submitted to first parties within the next couple of days at worst.

Beyond that update, we will be looking to continue with fixes until we reach the same final version as PC (whatever that turns out to be haha), and we feel like we are in a good place with fixes on Console and Mobile. On top of this, we are already in the planning stages for our attempts at Crossplay. The team has a good sense for where we currently stand as well as the potential issues that lie ahead. We will share more details of our plan once we have it a bit more fleshed out.

Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!



COMMUNITY

Greetings Terrarians!

Here's the latest and greatest happenings on the Community side of things. Thanks as always for being the most engaged and awesome gaming Community ever!



[h2]TERRARIA MERCHANDISE STORE HUB [/h2]

The merchandise hub is where you can find all of the latest and greatest Terraria merchandise - with new stuff arriving all of the time! Check out the latest merch drops as well as some classics and pick up that epic Terraria gift for a friend (or yourself!).

[h2]TERRARIA MERCHANDISE UPDATES[/h2]

[h3]TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES - ISSUE FOUR ORDERS STILL OPEN![/h3]

Shipments are already underway for Issue One's initial release... but there is still time to get your order in for Issue Four! Now that Issue Four is revealed, we thought it would be fun to show all four covers side-by-side. We remain so excited for this project, and we cannot wait to see what you think of the story, art, and more! We will be looking to compile all four Issues into Book One for release in 2023... and have already begun work on the story for Book Two!!!



Terraria Graphic Novel - Issue Four Orders Still Open!



[h3]NEW TERRARIA MERCHANDISE COMING FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON![/h3]

Hot on the heels of the Town Slime merch release for the Labor of Love update, we are planning to have some brand new stuff coming your way just in time for the Holiday shopping season! We plan to have a special post to introduce this and to do our usual "Terraria Holiday Shopping Guide" sometime in November. You will want to stay tuned there to be sure you have the latest and greatest for the Terraria fan in your life (or to treat yourself).

What's included in this latest merchandise wave that is coming soon? Jigsaw Puzzles, Keychains, new clothing options, new pins, etc. as well as some festive surprises including our cute little friend below!

All package prices do not include shipping costs, which will vary based on shipping location, etc. as a pass-through cost to the customer. For anyone looking to save on shipping costs, we are offering the option to either ship each package one at a time or to hold them all and ship them all at once. So, if you ordered Issues 1-4, we can either send them out each month or as one big box all at the end to help cut down on costs (but you will have to wait!)
.




That's it for now, Terrarians! All four Issues of Book One have been revealed! Get your orders in now if you are interested, and we will share details around the full Book One release when we have them. In the meantime, if you ordered any of the individual issues, those should be in your hand before the year is out - so you will get to see it all first! We will answer any questions that you may have - and that we are able to answer.

We here at Re-Logic are really excited about this project and we personally enjoy how it has all turned out. We hope you agree!

TERRARIA: LABOR OF LOVE UPDATE NOTES

[h2]QUALITY OF LIFE [/h2]

[h3]GEAR LOADOUTS[/h3]
[previewyoutube=Hpq5i80Fqr4;full][/previewyoutube]

Terraria has always been a game where the player is constantly shifting roles - Dig, Fight, Build is the tagline, after all! Previously, this meant a lot of shifting around of gear sets and the like... but with Labor of Love, players will at long last have access to a set of three gear loadouts! This will allow players to create different gear setups ahead of time and seamlessly swap between them as needed.


[h3]EVOLVED VOID BAG[/h3]

For those of you who aren't already familiar with the current version of the Void Bag, it is a portable personal storage container similar to the Money Trough. Uniquely, it also has the ability to automatically pick up any extra items whenever your inventory is full. However, we have added expanded functionality to the Void Bag to further enhance its role as a supplementary inventory.



For starters, the Void Bag can now be opened or closed with Right Click. When in the Closed state, it will deactivate its ability to pick up extra items, and act just like second Money Trough. When in the Opened state, however, a variety of new functionality becomes available!



Any crafting materials kept within the Void Bag will be available for any crafting recipes! You will not have to directly access the storage, or summon the portal, to be able to immediately craft with anything inside of the Void Bag!


Healing, Mana, and Buff Potions stored in the Void Bag can be used directly via their respective Quick Hotkeys. You can store all of your favorite buff potions in the Void Bag and simply refresh at any time! Mana Flower auto-potion functionality will work with the Void Bag as well! Enterprising players might keep some core buff potions in their regular inventory, with a secondary set of specialized buff potions in the bag. Depending on which mode the Void Bag is in, this will allow players to effectively hold two different potion "loadouts" at a time!


You can now Favorite items stored within the Void Bag. This has been added because you can ALSO Quick Stack to Nearby Chests anything inside of your Opened Void Bag. Favorite the things you want to keep, and then use Quick Stack for faster chest sorting!


Using Loot All on a chest with a full or nearly full inventory will deposit any overflow directly into the Void Bag

There are a number of other items which will function automatically when placed in a Open Void Bag, as they would when in the player's inventory, including:


  • Info Accessories
  • Paint Sprayer, Presserator, and any accessories that grant Wire, Actuator, or Ruler vision when in the inventory
  • The Guide to Critter Companionship
  • Keys stored in the bag can be used to open Chests
  • Wormhole Potions


[h3]INVENTORY IMPROVEMENTS[/h3]

Most stackable items have had their max limit increased to 9999!


That's right folks, you can once again place any accessory in your social slots.

[previewyoutube=fJnsoBGUH94;full][/previewyoutube]
To help you keep track of what is going into which chest, Quick Stack to Nearby Chests now has a visual effect, showing the items which are being quick stacked moving towards the chests.


[h3]KEEP COUNT WITH NUMERICAL HEALTH BARS[/h3]

No longer wonder how much health you have left - even on the fancier health bars! (Toggle this on/off in settings)


Having to hover over the boss to see just how close you are to defeating it is a thing of the past!


[h3]ROPE INTERACTION IMPROVEMENTS[/h3]


Rope has always been a useful tool since it was added to Terraria, but it has never really played nice with other handy exploration tools such as minecart tracks and platforms. Labor of Love fixes up that little problem - ropes, cart tracks, and platforms... living together... mass hysteria!

This is just a small sampling of the Quality of Life improvements we have made in Terraria: Labor of Love! Be sure to dive into the full changelog for all of the juicy details!

CHECK OUT THE FULL TERRARIA:LABOR OF LOVE CHANGELOG HERE



[h2]WORLD SEEDS[/h2]


[h3]GET FIXED BOI - THE ZENITH SEED[/h3]

You ever wonder what would happen if you took every seed in the game - including the new ones from Labor of Love - mashed them together, and then spent the extra time to playtest this new seed and polish it until it is "just right". Oh, and then for good measure, you tossed in a few features and dynamics unique to that seed?

Wonder no more, for the Zenith Seed is here! We consider this to be the true Magnum Opus of Terraria World Seeds - a version of Terraria that is equal parts unique to play and a whole new level of challenge for the most hardened Terrarians. Take on this seed only if you dare, for it may truly break you - Get Fixed Boi!



[h3]DON'T DIG UP - THE REMIX SEED[/h3]

An idea first discussed during the release of Journey's End, Don't Dig Up turns the world of Terraria upside down - literally! The player will begin their adventure in the depths of the underworld, complete with all new flora to help provide early resources.

As the player ascends into "The Up", however, the threats will magnify exponentially until they reach the Surface - a truly horrifying and inhospitable place that will test the mettle of even the most seasoned Terrarian. Rethink everything you know, but Don't Dig Up unless you are prepared for what comes next!



[h3]NO TRAPS - THE NO TRAPS SEED[/h3]

You know what is the worst? When you are out exploring in the world of Terraria and you get blown up by an explosive trap... or even worse, squashed by a nasty boulder! Well, the team wanted to make a World Seed that was designed with Terrarians who really hate traps in mind.


[h3]IMPROVEMENTS TO EXISTING WORLD SEEDS[/h3]


In developing the three new World Seeds for Labor of Love, the team gained some new insights into how to really make world seeds feel special. Thus, we took the extra time to revisit some of our existing seeds in order to spruce them up a bit. For some seeds, these changes are relatively minor. However, the Celebration Mk 10 and For the Worthy seeds have seen some pretty substantial tweaks. Regardless, it is very much worth it for Terrarians to check out all of the existing World Seeds once again with these new changes in place!

Of course, this is just scratching the surface for all there is to know about World Seeds in Labor of Love - be sure to check out the full changelog linked below for all of the details!

[h2]
NEW ADDITIONS
[/h2]

[h3]INTRODUCING - THE TOWN SLIMES[/h3]


Slimes are widely considered to be non-sentient beings: mindless blobs of gel that aimlessly bounce about throughout the world of Terraria. Recently however, Terrarian Slimeologists have discovered what appears to be a new evolution in slime kind... some sort of big, blobby, smart slimes. Well, smart by slime standards at least.

The denizens of Terraria have dubbed these new creatures "Town Slimes", for their penchant to attempt to dress up and try to fit in with Terrarian society. Thus far, the discovered variants include:

Cool Slime - The backwards hat is a clear giveaway that this is one hip slime indeed

Clumsy Slime - No one is quite sure how that arrow got stuck in his head, but he seems to like it...

Surly Slime - This guy has a bad attitude and keeps running afoul of the law

Nerdy Slime - Clearly smarter than all other slimes, as evidenced by the glasses

Elder Slime - Back in his day, you had to jump over single block tall heights and you had to dig up blocks before replacing them

Diva Slime - Yes, even slimes have celebrities... and yes she is better than you

Mystic Slime - This slime is in touch with the natural energies that flow throughout Terraria

Squire Slime - Ready to defend the kingdom from all threats, wielding the most powerful weapon known to Slimekind

This cast of characters is packed with personality, and players who are brave and clever enough to seek them out during their adventures will have the chance to have all eight Town Slimes move in to their towns/bases! Best of luck on your search for the Town Slimes - gotta catch 'em all!


[h3]NEW USEFUL ITEMS TO AID YOUR ADVENTURES[/h3]

[previewyoutube=vLlwm3BBtfk;full][/previewyoutube]
You used to call me on the Cellphone, but now that Labor of Love is here, all the cool kids are using the Shellphone! This handy device allows you to choose the destination of the magic mirror function - Initial Spawn, Home (Bed), Ocean, or Underworld!


Terraformer - we have taken the Clentaminator and made it stronger, faster, better. We have the technology!


Lilith's Necklace will allow you to transform into a wolf during your adventures - because who doesn't want to channel their inner wolf!?


[h3]NEW BLOCKS AND DECOR[/h3]

What Terraria update would be complete without some fancy new decorations and blocks to spruce up your bases, arenas, and more! Here are a few fun examples:


Reef Blocks and Coral Furniture


Brand New Paintings - Designed by the Team, Testers, and Community

[previewyoutube=cWBYtNyjLJk;full][/previewyoutube]
A Blast from the Past - Ancient Blocks Relive the Early Days of Terraria!


Have You Ever Wanted to Place Heart & Mana Crystals as Decorations? Sure you have!


[h3]NEW BUILDER TOOLS[/h3]

On top of providing all new blocks and furniture for our builder friends, the team has added two new Terraria building tools that we think will really help you take your Terraria creations to the next level!


Hand of Creation - A New Tinker that will Make Building Easier than Ever!

[previewyoutube=wbw3aMNibuE;full][/previewyoutube]

[previewyoutube=NYbWBeQ0Ap4;full][/previewyoutube]
Rubblemaker - At Long Last, the Fun Worldgen-based Stuff is at your Fingertips!

Check out these videos by Khaios and CheesyPaninie for full details - they do a better job showing these off than words could ever do!


[h3]ECHO AND ILLUMINANT COATINGS[/h3]

New Coatings provide players with all new ways to design cool base/town effects and even more diabolical adventure maps!


Echo Coating, combined with the Echo Monolith lets you make things disappear! Now you see it, now you don't!

[previewyoutube=Kuo_MMiHcT8;full][/previewyoutube]
To help you really see the potential that Coatings can provide, Khaios and CheesyPaninie put together the video above - definitely give this a watch!

Of course, this is just a sampling of what we have added in Labor of Love - be sure to check out the full changelog linked below for all of the details!

CHECK OUT THE FULL TERRARIA:LABOR OF LOVE CHANGELOG HERE



[h2]BALANCE & MELEE OVERHAUL[/h2]

[h2]MELEE OVERHAUL[/h2]
The Melee "Class" has always had a bit of a reputation for being underwhelming and a bit of a struggle to use - particularly against very mobile foes. No, Zenith does not count - that is an endgame weapon that is devastating to use regardless of what "class" one wishes to place it.

Taking the dynamics of defense, damage done, mobility, etc. all into account, it was clear that the entire class needed a closer look to make the risk more worth the rewards when playing Melee. What all does this entail? We will not cover everything here, but this should give a good sense for our approach.

[h3]
GLOBAL WEAPON TWEAKS
[/h3]
All broadsword-class melee weapons (this also includes pickaxes, axes, hammers, and hamaxes) now use local immunity frames on hit. Very notably, this means that projectile swords will no longer block their own piercing projectiles from hitting a target at point blank range. It will also result in more consistent hitting when mixing multiple sources of damage (Piercing minions and swords, for example)

Knockback when spinning flails has been increased from 25% to 35% of normal knockback
Spinning flails now hit up to 4 times a second instead of 3 times a second. Flails which already hit 4 times a second have been increased to 5 times a second.

---
[h3]
MELEE WEAPON STAT BUFFS
[/h3]
Many Melee Weapons have seen numerical improvements in raw damage, use time, reach, etc. Coupled with the global changes that impact how projectiles and "direct" hits coexist (eg. no longer conflicting with each other), this results in a substantial increase in DPS and utility for previously underwhelming Melee Weapons.

---

[h3]WEAPON REWORKS[/h3]
Even with the changes listed above, some Melee Weapons felt like they needed a more significant reworking - visually, functionally, or both. Let's dive into a few examples, shall we?


Dark Lance - Now generates a shockwave at the end of the spear, which increases its effective range. This shockwave also scales in size with melee speed, so you can now expect more pronounced Melee Speed benefits for Dark Lance. Now inflicts Shadowflame as well.


Light Disc - now a single item, not 5 stacked items. As a result, it can now have prefixes. Players can now shoot up to 6 Discs at once instead of 5. Oh, and a cool new light trail effect.


Horseman's Blade - Now has an area of damaging energy around the blade, dealing damage in a larger, wider area of effect, including better coverage behind the player.

---
[h3]
NIGHT'S EDGE/TERRA BLADE SWORD QUEST LINE
[/h3]
We felt that the Terra Blade "quest" that begins with Night's Edge in pre-Hardmode, continuing into Hardmode, culminating in players crafting the Terra Blade - really needed to feel a bit more important and meaningful to players who chose to take it on. As a result, Night's Edge and Terra Blade have seen a rework - as have each of their components! We have highlighted a few below... but the rest, we leave up to you to discover.


Blood Butcherer - Every successful strike on an enemy now applies a stack of "Blood Butchered", a short lived damage over time effect. Each of these stacks are signified by a gout of blood spouting forth from the enemy.


Volcano - Fiery Greatsword evolved into Volcano! Upon striking an enemy, Volcano will generate an fiery explosive area of effect, dealing additional damage to the original target and nearby enemies!


True Excalibur - True Excalibur now has a very large area of damaging energy around the blade, dealing damage in a dramatically wider area of effect, including better coverage behind the player. It no longer fires a projectile sword beam



[h3]BOSS TWEAKS[/h3]

We have given several bosses a once-over during Labor of Love, so you will want to check out the full changelog for all of the juicy details. You don't want to be caught unawares, after all! That being said, we did want to highlight two bosses that have perhaps seen the most changes. As a result, we expect that players will find them to be a bit more challenging!

GOLEM

What Terraria Balance Update would be complete without a buff to Golem? Continually seen as one of the easiest bosses in all of Terraria, the Golem fight needed more love from the team. What has changed? Take him on and find out!

DUKE FISHRON

The Duke was once seen as one of the better boss fights in all of Terraria. He is still a solid experience, but we felt like he could use a bit of tweaking in order to help him return to a more prominent challenge that is worthy of how the game has evolved since his introduction. Head to the Ocean and fish him up in order to experience a fresh fight!



[h3]PUMPKIN MOON OVERHAUL[/h3]

Let's face it, the good old Pumpkin Moon was starting to show its age a bit. Once considered a challenge event, it has been relegated to the role of niche side content that doesn't really stand up to the skills and gear of the modern Terrarian. Well, fret not, Pumpkin Moon fans! We have reworked the Pumpkin Moon in order to bring it in line with other events of that same tier, such as the Frost Moon. What exactly did we change?


Pumpkin Moon is now a full 20 Wave event rather than its previous 15 Waves



Pumpkin Moon Enemies received some buffs, and the composition of each wave has changed...

The insane boss spam typical of the later waves of Pumpkin Moon has been cut back tremendously - this will not only challenge the player to play more optimally to rack up high scores, but will also likely put less strain on everyone's hardware.



Labor of Love has way too many balance tweaks to be able to cover them off here - be sure to check out the full changelog linked below for all of the details!

CHECK OUT THE FULL TERRARIA:LABOR OF LOVE CHANGELOG HERE



So, there you have it Terrarians. Our Love Letter to you. Terraria has been our Labor of Love for many years, and we hope that each of you have felt that come through in each update, in our interactions with you, and in the joy we have all received from playing this game over the years. Here's to Terraria, the Community, and many more fun times ahead!

Terraria Graphic Novel - Book One, Issue Three Orders Now Open!

Greetings, Terrarians!

We are back again - this time with the juicy details around the release of Issue 3 of the Terraria Graphic Novel Series! Issue 3 is all about the journey and getting to know some of our party of heroes a bit better - just as our friends are doing the same as they enjoy a quick meal while camped out at an oasis. In case you missed our earlier announcement about the series as a whole, you can check out those details HERE, and you can still get your orders in for the initial shipment of Issue Two for a little bit longer (details below - but don't fret if you miss the first shipment or if you missed out on Issue One, see the note below). Our team is once again thrilled with the packages that 50 Amp Productions has put together in support of the Graphic Novel rollout - and we hope you will feel the same way!




[h3]IMPORTANT NOTE FROM 50 AMP PRODUCTIONS[/h3]

There seems to be a little confusion regarding the ordering window and our cut-off date. So we wanted to offer a little clarification.

The term, cut-off, does not mean that after that date, you will not be able to place an order. We intend for these items to remain available well after those dates. The ordering window is to ensure that we have your item in-stock and ready to ship during our initial shipping windows. Should we sell out, you will still be able to get the items, but there will likely be a delay as we must reorder at the manufacturers.

As shipping has not yet begun for issue 1&2 boxes, if you see the reveal of the issue 3 items and would like to amend your order, please email us at info@50ampproductions.com and we will be happy to help you. It is very important to us that fans are satisfied and are able to ensure their orders are complete and correct.

We also wanted to take a moment to thank you all for supporting this project. We consider ourselves lucky to work with Re-Logic on this and to be able to offer these books and collectibles to you, the fans. We will be throwing some fun extra goodies into every order from Copper to Platinum as a thank you.


Now, on to the details!

As a reminder, we are planning to roll out Issues 1-4 (Book One) over the next few months, followed by a full Book One release to book sellers/retailers as well as available online some time in Q1 2023. Book One will contain all of the first four issues along with a few other goodies (still TBD, but think concept art and other "making of" work, stuff like that). All orders can be placed on the 50 Amp Productions Website - click the cover above to check it out!




Issue One orders start today, but here is the overall expected timeline:

[h2]TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL ISSUES 1-4 ORDER WINDOWS[/h2]
Issue 1: Orders Open - August 11 --- Orders for Initial Shipment Close - September 12
Issue 2: Reveal Date - September 1 --- Orders for Initial Shipment Close - October 3
Issue 3: Reveal Date - September 22 --- Orders for Initial Shipment Close - October 24

Issue 4: Reveal Date - October 13 --- Orders for Initial Shipment Close - November 14



[h2]EXPECTED SHIPPING TIMING FOR ORDERS[/h2]
Issue 1 Initial Shipment in October
Issue 2 Initial Shipment in late October
Issue 3 Initial Shipment in mid-November

Issue 4 - Initial Shipment in mid-December

We do not expect to run into any delivery issues, but there is always the potential for issues beyond our control. 50 Amp Productions are committed to communicating with the fans if any issue arises.



[h2]INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING COSTS UPDATE[/h2]

Speaking of shipping, we know our international fans have sometimes run into some very high shipping costs (these are strictly pass-through costs based on whatever the shipping company is charging 50 Amp). We have been chasing down a variety of solutions to help bring these costs down, and we can at long last announce that we have found a way.

We have entered into a partnership which will allow us to offer another shipping option for our non-American customers. The short version is that by shipping international orders from our partner's European hub rather than our US-based warehouses, there is a good chance that we can cut all non-US shipping costs - often substantially.

[h3]Starting with our second issue on, we can provide this option to you! In addition, for Issues 2, 3, 4, and for our bundles - if you have already placed an order, we will be looking to see if this new option will save you money. If it will/does, we will be refunding the difference to the method of payment you used to make the purchase. Please be patient with us on this, as it could take us several days to process all of this, as we have to do the differences in shipping costs and refunds by hand. We will contact you afterwards if you should expect to see a refund. [/h3]

Unfortunately, because we have already placed our orders with our manufacturers for issue 1 and the materials are all already at or en route to our American warehouse, we will have to utilize the initial shipping methods and costs - so we sadly cannot offer this option for issue 1.

We feel like this will allow us to help a lot of you save money, so we are very glad that we could find a way to make this happen, and we are SUPER appreciative of our partner in helping to make this a reality. Once we have this good and established, we should have this in place as our solution in the future.

Thank you for your patience and we apologize that the solution took a little bit to lock down!




[h2]TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL: ISSUE 2 ORDERS STILL OPEN[/h2]

We are still taking orders for the initial shipment of the second issue of the Terraria Graphic Novel. In case you missed the news or you just decided after seeing Issue Two's cover that you are all in, we have you covered.

Check out the details around Issue Two by clicking the banner below!





TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL: ISSUE 3 PACKAGES

We hope you have enjoyed seeing the packages for Issues One and Two, and we are back again with a variety of packages for Issue Three that we think provides something for everyone. If you just want Issue 3 and that's it, we have that for you - or if you want to delve deeper and pick up some really cool Terraria collectibles, that is available as well. Similar packages with different items will be available for each issue release. We are using the order windows above in order to ensure our ability to ship by a certain date. Fans are free to order packages for all four issues at any time - if you know you want all four and want to be sure that you do not miss out - but the covers and packages themselves will be revealed via the timeline above.

Here's what you get for Issue Three! Clicking any package name or the package banner above it will take you to the Order page for Issue Three.

Terraria Graphic Novel - Book One, Issue Two Orders Now Open!

Greetings, Terrarians!

We are finally ready to reveal the details for the second issue of the Terraria Graphic Novel Series! Our story starts to ramp up in this issue, as you can probably tell by the cover art shown below! In case you missed our earlier announcement about the series as a whole, you can check out those details HERE, and you can still get your orders in for the initial shipment of Issue One for a little bit longer (details below, but don't fret if you miss the window, check out the note from 50 Amp Productions below!). Our team is once again thrilled with the packages that 50 Amp Productions has put together in support of the Graphic Novel rollout - and we hope you will feel the same way!



[h3]IMPORTANT NOTE FROM 50 AMP PRODUCTIONS[/h3]

There seems to be a little confusion regarding the ordering window and our cut-off date. So we wanted to offer a little clarification.

The term, cut-off, does not mean that after that date, you will not be able to place an order. We intend for these items to remain available well after those dates. The ordering window is to ensure that we have your item in-stock and ready to ship during our initial shipping windows. Should we sell out, you will still be able to get the items, but there will likely be a delay as we must reorder at the manufacturers.

As shipping has not yet begun for issue 1 boxes, if you see the reveal of the issue 2 items and would like to amend your order, please email us at info@50ampproductions.com and we will be happy to help you. It is very important to us that fans are satisfied and are able to ensure their orders are complete and correct.

We also wanted to take a moment to thank you all for supporting this project. We consider ourselves lucky to work with Re-Logic on this and to be able to offer these books and collectibles to you, the fans. We will be throwing some fun extra goodies into every order from Copper to Platinum as a thank you.


Now, on to the details!

As a reminder, we are planning to roll out Issues 1-4 (Book One) over the next few months, followed by a full Book One release to book sellers/retailers as well as available online some time in Q1 2023. Book One will contain all of the first four issues along with a few other goodies (still TBD, but think concept art and other "making of" work, stuff like that). All orders can be placed on the 50 Amp Productions Website - click the cover above to check it out!




Issue One orders start today, but here is the overall expected timeline:

[h2]TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL ISSUES 1-4 ORDER WINDOWS[/h2]
Issue 1: Orders Open - August 11 --- Orders for Initial Shipment Close - September 12
Issue 2: Reveal Date - September 1 --- Orders for Initial Shipment Close - October 3

Issue 3: Reveal Date - September 22 --- Orders for Initial Shipment Close - October 24
Issue 4: Reveal Date - October 13 --- Orders for Initial Shipment Close - November 14



[h2]EXPECTED SHIPPING TIMING FOR ORDERS[/h2]
Issue 1 Initial Shipment in October
Issue 2 Initial Shipment in late October

Issue 3 Initial Shipment in mid-November
Issue 4 - Initial Shipment in mid-December

We do not expect to run into any delivery issues, but there is always the potential for issues beyond our control. 50 Amp Productions are committed to communicating with the fans if any issue arises.



[h2]INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING COSTS UPDATE[/h2]

Speaking of shipping, we know our international fans have sometimes run into some very high shipping costs (these are strictly pass-through costs based on whatever the shipping company is charging 50 Amp). We are happy to share that the Re-Logic and 50 Amp teams have been chasing solutions to this over the past month, and we think we are getting close to a solution to lower those costs. We plan to refund the difference for anyone that paid more than the new costs once we have them in hand. We will email you if you are one of those folks once it all comes through.




[h2]TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL: ISSUE 1 ORDERS STILL OPEN[/h2]

We are still taking orders for the first issue of the Terraria Graphic Novel. In case you missed the news or you just decided after seeing Issue Two's cover that you are all in, we have you covered.

Check out the details around Issue One by clicking the banner below!





TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL: ISSUE 2 PACKAGES

For Issue Two, we again are providing an array of packages that we think provides something for everyone. If you just want Issue 2 and that's it, we have that for you - or if you want to delve deeper and pick up some really cool Terraria collectibles, that is available as well. Similar packages with different items will be available for each issue release. We are using the order windows above in order to ensure our ability to ship by a certain date.

We here at Re-Logic are really excited about this project and we personally enjoy how it has all turned out. We hope you agree!

Terraria State of the Game - August 2022



Greetings Terrarians!

Alas, Summer is drawing to a close. Back to School, work, or just whatever your daily grind may be - we hope your Summer was a fun and relaxing one! As we head into the Fall - probably our favorite season - the development teams are making huge strides towards getting the Labor of Love update into your hands. This is a State of the Game that you will not want to miss, because we are at long last going to be able to dive into some details around the launch of this fantastic Terraria update. So, sit down, buckle up, and let's get this month's SOTG underway!



PC - RE-LOGIC

[h2]TERRARIA - LABOR OF LOVE UPDATE[/h2]

The Re-Logic team is proud to reveal that we have completed our work on the Labor of Love update, and that we have officially reached code freeze on the PC side! That means that while we may still be looking at bugfixes and tweaks for anything that we might find between now and launch, we are not adding anything new to the game/code any more in order to allow time for our friends at DR Studios to finish their work on porting to Console and Mobile. Why not just go ahead and release it if we are "done", you say? Well, beyond the aforementioned continued - and needed - testing and fixing...
[h3]
It is our intention to make this the first simultaneous Terraria update release across all platforms. That means that if all goes to plan, Terraria: Labor of Love will release on PC, Console, and Mobile at the same time!

Barring any issues or delays in first party (Sony, Nintendo, etc) submissions, we expect Labor of Love to release in late September.
[/h3]

So there you have it - pretty big news, eh? We are so excited for the chance to do a simultaneous release to everyone all at once - a daunting task, but one that we cannot wait to attempt. Perhaps a glimpse at how things will be in the possible future where crossplay is a thing.

While we are on the subject of Labor of Love, ChippyGaming produced a nice summary video of all of the spoilers for this update thus far - it is definitely worth a watch to catch up in case you missed anything!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubU19vZAxDQ



[h2]STEAM WORKSHOP NEWS[/h2]


Click the banner above to check out the Terraria Workshop!

With over 62,000 packs and worlds so far, you are missing out if you haven't taken the time to check out the Workshop yet. Planning on another round of Developer's Choice soon - so get your best and brightest up on the Workshop now!

Once Labor of Love hits, expect even more summer cleaning to come your way.



[h2]WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?[/h2]

Right now, our core focus is the final push to get Labor of Love done to what we have as the vision for the update. We will be revisiting "what's next" once we get this update out and any needed hotfixes, etc.



TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM



Hello everyone!

Another month, even more bugfixes for tModLoader 1.4! Generally speaking, the team has spent at least half of its time on bug fixes with another eye (and half our time) looking towards the setup for delivery of future major improvements. Want some examples? Of course you do!


  • Started work on improved dedicated server utilities & multiplayer stability
  • Began working on improved GoG and Steam Family Share compatibility
  • Work is underway on an improved Mod Browser experience


So, all in all, sort of a quieter month (but with lots going on) focused around 'what are the next big areas where we can improve tML 1.4' now that we have gotten a better grip on release cycles and minimizing the impacts on users.



[h2]TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP[/h2]

The TML Steam Workshop is already up to over 2,200 mods in just one short month. Coupled with the in-game mod browser, the TML Steam Workshop is a great way to explore what modded Terraria has to offer - check it out today by clicking the banner above!



[h2]TMODLOADER 1.3 STILL AVAILABLE[/h2]
As a continued reminder, the developers behind each individual Terraria mod will need to update their mods to the 1.4 era, so hang with them while that process takes place. We also realize that some older mods that are no longer in development may never make the leap to the 1.4 era. Given that, we have kept the 1.3.5 version of TML playable

[h3]How do I switch to back to 1.3 tModLoader?[/h3]
1. Right click on tModLoader in Steam and select 'Properties...', then 'BETAS';
2. Select '1.3-legacy' in the drop-down menu on top;
3. Close the window. You don't need to type any passwords!



[h3]WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?[/h3]

More fixes, more behind the scenes work on the improvements we mentioned above - more details to come as we know more and get further down the road!

As always, you can keep track the current progress and such more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.)

Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)



PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS

The team at DR Studios has been doing all that we can to keep pace with the PC side of Labor of Love so that once Re-Logic finished development, we could pick up the baton and move quickly towards completing development on Console and Mobile so that we would be ready for submissions as quickly as possible. As shared in the PC section above (since we know some Console/Mobile Terrarians may just skip to this section)...


[h3]It is our intention to make this the first simultaneous Terraria update release across all platforms. That means that if all goes to plan, Terraria: Labor of Love will release on PC, Console, and Mobile at the same time!

Barring any issues or delays in first party (Sony, Nintendo, etc) submissions, we expect Labor of Love to release in late September.
[/h3]

Don't think that we forgot a spoiler or two for you folks either...





Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

Thanks as always for the honor and trust you give us each month to work on Terraria - it is not a responsibility that we take lightly, and we look forward to bringing more amazing things to you all as we move forward.

We have been teasing this for a little while, but we are at long last able to reveal a sneak peek into the first wave of the new Terraria merch offerings coming very soon from our friends at Vidglo (Terraria.shop). These are items that we have never really had before, so we are pretty excited to see all of this come to fruition! These should be available sometime around the end of September.

We may have another Town Slime surprise available around the launch of Labor of Love... but you will have to stay tuned for that.

[h2]OTHER COMMUNITY NEWS[/h2]
[h3]
TERRARIA WIKI - NEW THEMES COMING SOON!

Jungle, Underground, Corruption, and more - the plan is to roll these out to users in the very near future. For now, let's give you a quick teaser for the Jungle and Underground themes:

Terraria State of the Game - July 2022



Greetings Terrarians!

Summer is nearly over already?! My how the time flies when you are having fun - which we certainly hope has been the case for all of you out there! We have been having a TON of fun during the development of the Labor of Love update. Reading fan ideas, brainstorming other cool new stuff internally, seeing where the creativity takes us: it has been a real blast. That said, we can definitely see the light at the end of the tunnel. So, let's dive right into the late-summer State of the Game news shall we?



PC - RE-LOGIC

[h2]TERRARIA - LABOR OF LOVE UPDATE[/h2]

Labor of Love has reached a point where we feel like the end of development is extremely close. We have been whittling down our bugs and tasks lists while also taking on a solid handful of cool ideas that you all have shared with us on the forums, social media, Discord, and more. Hopefully, you have been keeping up with the spoilery tidbits we have been sharing along the way. Still no exact date to give you just yet (though it is starting to come into focus)


That said, you came here for the latest and greatest, right? We would hate to disappoint you, so here it goes...

[h3]THE VOID BAG HAS EVOLVED![/h3]

For those of you who aren't already familiar with the current version of the Void Bag, it is a portable personal storage container similar to the Money Trough. Uniquely, it also has the ability to automatically pick up any extra items whenever your inventory is full.However, we have added expanded functionality to the Void Bag to further enhance its role as a supplementary inventory.


For starters, the Void Bag can now be opened or closed with Right Click. When in the Closed state, it will deactivate its ability to pick up extra items, and act just like second Money Trough. When in the Opened state, however, a variety of new functionality becomes available!



Any crafting materials kept within the Void Bag will be available for any crafting recipes! You will not have to directly access the storage, or summon the portal, to be able to immediately craft with anything inside of the Void Bag!



Healing, Mana, and Buff Potions stored in the Void Bag can be used directly via their respective Quick Hotkeys. You can store all of your favorite buff potions in the Void Bag and simply refresh at any time! Mana Flower auto-potion functionality will work with the Void Bag as well! Enterprising players might keep some core buff potions in their regular inventory, with a secondary set of specialized buff potions in the bag. Depending on which mode the Void Bag is in, this will allow players to effectively hold two different potion "loadouts" at a time!



You can now Favorite items stored within the Void Bag. This has been added because you can ALSO Quick Stack to Nearby Chests anything inside of your Opened Void Bag. Favorite the things you want to keep, and then use Quick Stack for faster chest sorting!



Using Loot All on a chest with a full or nearly full inventory will deposit any overflow directly into the Void Bag

There are a number of other items which will function automatically when placed in a Open Void Bag, as they would when in the player's inventory, including:


  • Info Accessories
  • Paint Sprayer, Presserator, and any accessories that grant Wire, Actuator, or Ruler vision when in the inventory
  • The Guide to Critter Companionship
  • Keys stored in the bag can be used to open Chests
  • Wormhole
  • Potions


Hope this revamp and evolution of the Void Bag has you even more excited for Labor of Love than ever before! Again, if you missed any of the litany of spoilers that we have shared over the past month on Twitter and elsewhere, be sure to check out and follow our social media channels to catch up and so that you do not miss any that might drop in the future!


We will hopefully have a date soon, we promise! (How's that for a non-committal promise?)



[h2]STEAM WORKSHOP NEWS[/h2]


Click the banner above to check out the Terraria Workshop!

Closing in on 60,000 packs and worlds so far, you are missing out if you haven't taken the time to check out the Workshop yet. Planning on another round of Developer's Choice soon - so get your best and brightest up on the Workshop now!

Once Labor of Love hits, expect even more summer cleaning to come your way.



[h2]WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?[/h2]

Right now, the core focus of the time is the final push to get Labor of Love done to what we have as the vision for the update. Still have that one eye on the future though.



TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM



Hello everyone!

This month has almost all been bugfixes - as things often are after a major launch like TML 1.4!. There's still more todo, but we're doing our best to fix issues and support as many users as possible - so keep your reports coming in.

We have also added tML support for modded pylons (thanks to MutantWafflez). Thanks to this, pylon mods should become more compatible, and we can expect more modded pylons.



[h2]TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP[/h2]

The TML Steam Workshop is already up to nearly 2,000 mods in just one short month. Coupled with the in-game mod browser, the TML Steam Workshop is a great way to explore what modded Terraria has to offer - check it out today by clicking the banner above!



[h2]TMODLOADER 1.3 STILL AVAILABLE[/h2]
As a continued reminder, the developers behind each individual Terraria mod will need to update their mods to the 1.4 era, so hang with them while that process takes place. We also realize that some older mods that are no longer in development may never make the leap to the 1.4 era. Given that, we have kept the 1.3.5 version of TML playable

[h3]How do I switch to back to 1.3 tModLoader?[/h3]
1. Right click on tModLoader in Steam and select 'Properties...', then 'BETAS';
2. Select '1.3-legacy' in the drop-down menu on top;
3. Close the window. You don't need to type any passwords!



[h3]WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?[/h3]

Bug fixes and more bug fixes... did we mention bug fixes? We have a few other things in the works, but they are not really ready to talk about yet.

As always, you can keep track the current progress and such more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.)

Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)



PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS

The team at DR Studios has really enjoyed this development cycle, being able to run alongside our good friends at Re-Logic and working in parallel to try and keep Mobile and Console right on pace. We won't lie, being able to show brand new Terraria content for the first time on Mobile and Switch was simply amazing, and we are so happy to be able to take part in the spoiler-y fun at last. Speaking of, we have some fun new stuff to show you this month, so shall we?


Equipped pets can now be seen on the Player Select Menu



Who doesn't want to channel their inner Wolf?

Now, we would be remiss without giving you a mobile spoiler as well, right? Well, pardon our dust a bit on this one as it is still very much a work in progress (we do not have the mappable UI button in quite yet as well, but it is coming!)


Gear Loadouts on Mobile Terraria - Work in Progress!


Thanks as always for the honor and trust you give us each month to work on Terraria - it is not a responsibility that we take lightly, and we look forward to bringing more amazing things to you all as we move forward.



COMMUNITY

Greetings Terrarians!

Here's the latest and greatest happenings on the Community side of things. Thanks as always for being the most engaged and awesome gaming Community ever!



[h2]TERRARIA MERCHANDISE STORE HUB [/h2]

The merchandise hub is where you can find all of the latest and greatest Terraria merchandise - and we are kicking off the new year with a handful of new offerings, including brand new plush! Check out the latest merch drops as well as some classics and pick up that epic Terraria gift for a friend (or yourself!)



Click the banner above to head to Terraria.org/store now!



[h2]TERRARIA MERCHANDISE UPDATES[/h2]

[h3]NEW TERRARIA MERCH COMING SOON[/h3]

We have a few new fun items coming soon that you might enjoy - and even more planned for the Holidays. While we don't want to reveal anything JUST yet (as we prefer to be able to show things when you are able to actually go ahead and get them), we have the following and more in the works:

New Clothing Designs
Keychain/Bag Clips
The first Terraria Jigsaw Puzzle
...and a lot more!

Oh... and we can confirm that Town Slime stuff is already in the works. We won't show you JUST yet... we would rather wait until we have them fully ready and available - but the Town Slimes are coming...



[h2]OTHER COMMUNITY NEWS[/h2]
[h3]
TERRARIA MODS WIKI LAUNCHES SOON
[/h3]

Our good friends at Wiki.gg have been working with the TML Team and others on a brand new Terraria Mods Wiki!



The wiki is located at https://terrariamods.wiki.gg, and is available for your use now. A small group of folks received advance access in order to start adding content - but now we are ready to reveal it to everyone. The current format is a modified version of the same theme used on the vanilla Terraria wiki. This might need to be changed in the future in order to avoid confusing readers on which wiki they are on. We are currently working with the tModLoader team to develop some assets to hopefully make the Terraria Mods wiki feel even more unique.


We looked at the current Fandom mods wiki to start, but based on its current status, we decided to make a mostly fresh start here. Basically, the new Terraria Mods wiki has the same structure as the one on Fandom, just without any mods currently covered there. The small group we have reached out to in advance before going public has mainly be mod devs to add their mods to the wiki in advance of the launch. We will also attempt to bring over particular mods from the Fandom wiki as long as their content is in good shape (i.e. following naming conventions and using proper templates). Being as there are almost 200 mods on the Fandom wiki, it would take a lot of work to determine which mods are still active and organized among everything else. The plan is to be more on top of mod content on wiki.gg than things ever were on Fandom, so we avoid unorganized/old content, keep to consistent standards, etc.


We hope you take some time to check this out today!



[h3]TERRARIA LEGO IDEAS CONCEPT UPDATE - GOAL ACHIEVED!![/h3]

As for what is next or the timing, no one knows just yet - but if and when we do, we will tell you immediately. Thanks again to our wonderful community for sending a strong message that Terrarians want Terraria Legos!!!

Terraria Graphic Novel Series Revealed!

Greetings Terrarians!

We are beyond thrilled to be able to at long last reveal a project that has been going on behind the scenes for quite some time - the Terraria Graphic Novel series! We here at Re-Logic have been working closely with our partners at 50 Amp Productions on all aspects of the graphic novels - from script to lineart to coloring and more, we really feel like these are a perfect balance between staying authentic to the Terraria experience while taking enough creative license to be able to craft an engaging story within the Terraria universe.

We are nearly finished with Book One in the series, and we wanted to give you a sneak peek (well... beyond the one we gave you in June's State of the Game) at what is to come. Each Book will contain four parts... and this is the cover art for Terraria - Book One, Issue One.


(Cover art is final, but the team is working on a new custom logo for this series - so the Terraria Logo here is just a WIP/Placeholder using our in-game logo)

Outside of working on Terraria itself, this is maybe the most excited we have been for any project we have been involved with thus far. We have high hopes and big plans here, should these do well enough and meet with the approval of the Terraria Community.

The rollout plan is still under discussion, and we will have more details on that very soon. However, we can share that the current plan is to make Issues 1-4 available as standalone items (both with and without some other really cool collectibles that we are developing as a part of the package) starting in Q3 of this year and continuing through the end of 2022. We will then have the entire Book One available as a completed piece along with some special additions in early 2023. We would then begin work on Book Two and so on.

Now, of course, we will always maintain that the Terraria story is as open ended as the players themselves - so view this as just one possible take of the limitless stories that could be told about the who, what, and why behind what happens in the world of Terraria. That said, we think it is a pretty good one - and one that we are hoping and looking to expand upon in future books in the series. How far we will be able to go here, of course, depends on your support! The more successful these are or become, the further we can take the story... and who knows, maybe we could one day explore having these adapted as a streaming series or more.

We hope you are all as excited as we are about Terraria finally getting the legit Graphic Novel treatment and are intrigued to see the story thus far... and where it might take us all.

Cheers!

Terraria State of the Game - June 2022



Greetings Terrarians!

We don't know about you, but the heat this summer has been brutal so far to us! Sounds like a good excuse to grab some gaming time and catch up on the latest and greatest Terraria news, right? Development work on the Labor of Love update is in full swing across both the Re-Logic and DR Studios teams - and we are really excited for some of the juicy spoilers that we have in store for you this month (on top of those we have already shared this month in case you missed them on our socials). That said, grab a cold beverage, cool off, and settle in for this month's State of the Game!



PC - RE-LOGIC

[h2]TERRARIA - LABOR OF LOVE UPDATE[/h2]

Labor of Love really feels like it is living up to its name more and more as each week of development goes by. The team has conducted a couple of playthroughs along the way, and we have found these to be some of the more fun and unique sessions that we have had for years. We have shared a lot of what is going into this update thus far, but rest assured that we have held some rather substantial changes and additions close to the vest as is tradition. We have a bit more to share this month... but some things you will have to discover yourself when Labor of Love launches.

No, we still do not have a date to give you - but we do see the light at the end of the tunnel...

Spoilers though? We've got one for you!


Wow, when you guys said you were going to be transparent with us about the new update, you weren't kidding!



[h2]STEAM WORKSHOP NEWS[/h2]


Click the banner above to check out the Terraria Workshop!

Another month and another 1000 additions to the Workshop - with over 57,000 packs and worlds so far, you are missing out if you haven't taken the time to check out the Workshop yet.

We hope to get around to doing some "summer cleaning" of the Workshop once Labor of Love settles down a bit. If you get what we mean. (some of this has already begun)



[h2]WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?[/h2]

Right now, the core focus of the time is the final push to get Labor of Love done to what we have as the vision for the update. Still have that one eye on the future though.



TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM



Hello everyone!

On June 2, 2022, we launched tModLoader for Terraria 1.4+ to Terrarians everywhere. This was the result of countless hours of hard work by the TML Team and many other contributors over the span of nearly two years, and the team is beyond thrilled to have TML 1.4 in your hands. We specifically want to recognize the following folks whom have made invaluable contributions to the TML project since Journey's End released in 2020:

direwolf420, Chik3r, ExterminatorX99, ThomasThePencil, Itorius, Steviegt6, Rartrin, Agrair, Ishigh1, DarkLight66, DarioDaF, kittenchilly, Dual-Iron, MrSlimeDude, sgkoishi, OliHeamon, RighteousRyan1, Igmc, NotLe0n, Pixelnando, daim03, fakelag, andrewlord607, pollen00, einarmo, Setnour6, MutantWafflez, Ozzatron, Antirhinnum, CriddleZap, jackbondpreston, Pbone3, ModernMAK, Crapsky233, absoluteAquarian, rjmarzec, ubnt-intrepid, ScalarVector1, Pacnysam, Falcon-05, staticfox, JPANv2, Nyrest, Naginif, D1plex, georgewoodall82, Tyfyter, zzp198, SpencerDawg, RunningDroid, Trivaxy, SadOnion, miarodri, sdegueldre, JamzOhJamz, Ved-s, BarteQ778177, Lumelore, RuneZhevitz, Dinoxel, jjohnsnaill, xKirtle, MikhailMCraft,terrynmuse, hannest03, Fatiz, Valjean42, TomaszOleszko, Rijam, IbanPlay, Fragstiller, S-Pladison




[h2]TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP[/h2]

The launch of TML 1.4 also allowed the team to bring the tModLoader Steam Workshop online. We have already seen nearly 1,400 mods make their way onto the Workshop in the first month alone, with some of the more well-known mods being added to the Workshop in recent days. Coupled with the in-game mod browser, the TML Steam Workshop is a great way to explore what modded Terraria has to offer - check it out today by clicking the banner above!



[h2]TMODLOADER 1.3 STILL AVAILABLE[/h2]
Of course, the developers behind each individual Terraria mod will need to update their mods to the 1.4 era, so hang with them while that process takes place. We also realize that some older mods that are no longer in development may never make the leap to the 1.4 era. Given that, we have kept the 1.3.5 version of TML playable

[h3]How do I switch to back to 1.3 tModLoader?[/h3]
1. Right click on tModLoader in Steam and select 'Properties...', then 'BETAS';
2. Select '1.3-legacy' in the drop-down menu on top;
3. Close the window. You don't need to type any passwords!



[h3]WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?[/h3]


One of the biggest priorities this last month has been to rapidly respond to release issues, and fix several of the bugs that users are seeing.

We hope the upcoming July stable release will fix a large portion, but we know there is still more to do and are actively working to resolve several. We appreciate everyone's patience as we pursue a better modloader!


Our other big priority this month was fleshing out tModPorter.


This custom software, bundled with tModLoader, provides the capability to quickly bring a 1.3 mod to majority ported to 1.4.

Further still, it will also be the primary tool we provide so modders can do the minor porting for code on each monthly release moving forward.

We hope that all modders take advantage of this tool to make their lives easier, and if you have improvements, don't hesitate to reach out in our discord.

As always, you can keep track the current progress and such more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.)

Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)



PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS

The team at DR Studios has been feverishly working to try and keep pace with the development of Labor of Love that is taking place on the PC side of things. Yes, in case you missed last month's State of the Game, we have already begun active development of Labor of Love for Console and Mobile. In addition, earlier in June we shared a "first look" spoiler on Mobile (which you will find below!) - the first time that brand new Terraria content/features have been shown on anything other than PC. Well, we don't want our Console Terrarians feeling left out - so here's another first look at a brand new feature coming to Terraria when Labor of Love is available...


No longer contained to blocks alone, the Banners finally broke free - able to be in full display on platforms and stairs alike!


So yeah, like we were saying, after years of playing catch-up, it is such a fun time to be able to work on Mobile (and Console) in parallel to the ongoing work on PC. What's that? You missed the Mobile spoiler earlier this month? Well, allow us to share it once again below...

[previewyoutube=xb2YXk1QMdg;full][/previewyoutube]

Thanks as always for the honor and trust you give us each month to work on Terraria - it is not a responsibility that we take lightly, and we look forward to bringing more amazing things to you all as we move forward.

Terraria State of the Game - May 2022



Greetings Terrarians!

May? It is seriously the end of May already? 2022 is certainly on an express train in terms of how fast time is flying by! That said, we hope you are as ready for Summer as we are... and it is shaping up to be an action-packed Summer indeed! What all do we have in store? Well, time will tell - but let's kick things off the right way with our final State of the Game update before Summer 2022 is here in earnest!



PC - RE-LOGIC

[h2]CHICKEN BONES JOINS RE-LOGIC[/h2]

As our team is preparing to embark on the journey that will be our second game, we realize that there are some gaps in the team's skillset that we would like to fill - as well as the overall need for more quality folks in general. With all of that in mind, it is with great pleasure that we formally announce that long-time Terraria modder and core tModLoader Team member Chicken Bones to the Re-Logic family!

Chicken Bones (CB for short) is well-known in the Minecraft modding community, and he has a long history with Terraria and modding in general. Coupled with a strong background on the Technical/Tooling side of the coding world (a big need for the team moving ahead!), he will be an invaluable addition to the team. He has already been working hard alongside our core team, with a current focus aimed primarily on the development of tModLoader and tModPorter. Once full work on our second title begins, he will be part of the core development team that will be responsible for bringing that all together!

Please join each of us in giving Chicken Bones a heart-felt welcome to Team Re-Logic!


[h2]TERRARIA - LABOR OF LOVE UPDATE[/h2]

The Labor of Love update is getting really close to reaching the goals and vision that we have in mind for it. Does that mean we are ready to give you a launch date? Well, not just yet - but know that we are feeling like it is getting closer and closer... so not too much longer, we think. Why do we call this update Labor of Love? Well, in honor the award you all so graciously decided we were worthy of for one, but your support goes well beyond that. It has been a while since we gave a numbers update, and they are pretty staggering:


[h3]TERRARIA[/h3]
TOTAL: 44.5 million units sold
23 million on PC
9.1 million on Consoles
12.4 million on Mobile



45 Million soon, and then... the road to FIFTY MILLION


That is just insane, everyone. It is this support - along with just how loyal and engaged each and every one of you are that enables us to be who we are and do what we do each and every day. To say it is humbling and amazing would be beyond an understatement. So, we will once again just say thank you - sincerely, thank you from the bottom of our heart. We don't take this lightly, and we really look forward to continuing to earn your support and trust in the years to come.


Moving on with our news, if you want a glimpse into what goes into the process of how we look at release dates vs ongoing work... well, ChippyGaming has a breakdown of a recent chat Red had on Discord:

[previewyoutube=j3uxQNUjk_U;full][/previewyoutube]

With that said, let's jump right in to more of what you can expect in the update, shall we?

In case you have missed the series of spoilers that have been shared by various members of the development team over the past month, we have compiled all of them for you below.


Town Slimes are ready to move in!


Melee is evolving... just ask the True Excalibur


Decorate your world with all the hearts and stars that your... heart... desires?


Either a scene from the Re-Logic Rave or the Empress of Light has been getting ready for Labor of Love


So much going on here... we will just let you see what you can find


Ropes and Cart Tracks, living together, mass hysteria!


Info Accessories are now more informative (or at least easier to read)


Macaws have landed in the Jungle!


Toilet Fishing? Toilet Fishing.

So all of that was shared in the last month alone... but wait, you want something new? Ok then...


  • You can now exchange your pet by using another Pet License! (They can now be purchased infinitely from the Zoologist)
  • Summoning Moon Lord with the Celestial Sigil now has only a 12 second summoning period instead of 60 second
  • Reduced the crafting cost of Celestial Sigil from 20 of each fragment to 12
  • Hive Pack now increases the fire rate of the Hornet Summon and increases the damage and defense penetration of Wasp Gun




Remember that absolutely beautiful Coral build from last month's State of the Game? Well... about that...



[h2]STEAM WORKSHOP NEWS[/h2]


Click the banner above to check out the Terraria Workshop!

The level of quality and quantity on the Terraria Steam Workshop keeps on growing and growing - with over 55,000 packs and worlds so far, you are missing out if you haven't taken the time to check out the Workshop yet. What are you waiting for?!

We hope to get around to doing some "summer cleaning" of the Workshop once Labor of Love settles down a bit. If you get what we mean.



[h2]WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?[/h2]

Labor of Love is starting to enter its final phases, so parts of the team are placing an eye back on the future and project two.



TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM



Hello everyone!

May was one of the most productive months for TML development in quite a while! There is so much going on behind the scenes as we push ever-closer towards the release of TML 1.4. Want all of the details? Read on!

As mentioned above, we have had our busiest month in a long time, having merged almost 60 code changes - nearly double a regular month! This is all thanks to a large push from every contributor and the TML Team, so that we could deliver 1.4 in time for 1.4.4.

[h3]On June 1st, we will be changing the default version of tModLoader from 1.3 to 1.4. To be clear, this is not intended to be a full feature-rich launch, but rather represents the substantial step of TML 1.4 leaving Alpha and moving into a formal Continuous Release Cycle.


The current 1.3 version will remain available in a Beta Branch on Steam in order to allow players to continue to use any mods that are or do not update to the 1.4 era. Instructions on how to use this version if you so choose are located here > tModLoader guide for players tModLoader/tModLoader Wiki
[/h3]

In addition, 1.4_soundfix, now known as "Sound Playback Reimplementation", has now been merged and we have eliminated the MergedTesting branch. This was holding up a few big mods, so hopefully, this will make life (and updating) easier for those teams!

Whew, thats a lot of work done! Lots still to go but the team is really enjoying the wave of momentum right now, excited to reach this key milestone with 1.4, and ready to get to work on what remains!


As always, you can keep track the current progress and such more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.)

Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)



PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS
[h2]
PARITY IS HERE - FOR NOW - BUT WHAT'S NEXT?!
[/h2]

We spent much of the month of May with our heads down, focused on getting fixes for the 1.4.1 - 1.4.3 update out to everyone. As of now, these fixes should be in your hands on all platforms, with the possible exception of Switch/Stadia/Amazon, which are still pending review. If you missed what all was addressed, check out the link below!

TERRARIA 1.4.1 - 1.4.3 CONSOLE/MOBILE FIXES


What else have we been up to? Well, exploring a few things that we still need to get in your hands (we haven't lost sight of things like Splitscreen+Online Multiplayer)... and maybe dabbling a bit into the future. What could that mean? Well, have a sneak peek then!

[previewyoutube=KRkvvOlDvJ8;full][/previewyoutube]

We will just leave you to speculate away from there... enjoy!

[/h3]

Our Terraria Lego idea made by JaoGosma continues to see strong growth in support from Terrarians everywhere - and is now only 3.1k supporters shy of being the most-supported concept on the Lego Ideas platform. We know that if everyone pulls together here, we can push it to the top... so if you like this idea and want to give it the best chance of possibly happening, be sure to lend your support!

TERRARIA LEGO IDEA





[h3]r/terraria MILLION SUBSCRIBER MILESTONE[/h3]

We are nearly to one million r/terraria subscribers! We anticipate crossing the milestone in the next few days. To celebrate the occasion, we are planning on creating a forum post, Discord channel, r/terraria thread, and other locations where the community can share their favorite r/terraria threads from the past. Feel free to reminisce on your favorite r/terraria threads throughout the years and share them when we cross the one million subscriber milestone. You can also share any description or reason why specific threads are memorable and/or your favorite.




Until next time, Terrarians - we hope you have an amazing month, and we look forward to bringing you the latest and greatest next time!

Terraria Turns Eleven - Town Slimes Are Coming to Celebrate the Occasion!

1 years ago, Terraria was shared with the world for the first time, and 11 years later, Terraria remains our Labor of Love a game that is like a child to us. We have enjoyed watching Terraria evolve and grow over the years and equally continue to enjoy the outpouring of support from all of you. Thank you all so very much!

We look forward to continuing the Terraria journey with you for many more years to come be it on Terraria or other games in the franchise.




In celebration of Terrarias 11th Anniversary, we are proud to introduce the latest addition to our Pet License roster: Town Slimes! This cast of characters is packed with personality and players will get the chance to have one Town Slime move into their towns when the Labor of Love update comes out later this year.

[h3]Which Town Slime are you hoping will move in with you? [/h3]

Terraria State of the Game - April 2022



Greetings Terrarians!

You know what they say... April showers bring Terraria news! Or something like that anyway. It is quite an exciting time in the world of Terraria right now, with all sorts of fantastic news happening as we speak - and with plenty more to come as the year moves on. Let's not waste any more time and instead spring right into the latest and greatest surrounding all things Terraria!



PC - RE-LOGIC

[h2]TERRARIA - LABOR OF LOVE UPDATE[/h2]


The team has made a ton of progress on the Labor of Love update over the past month - and the finish line is in sight. Recently, we have been conducting a huge playthrough with the entire team alongside our trusty playtesters. What are we testing you ask? Well, it's a combination of all of the new stuff we added... and we are playing it on a brand new world seed that is unlike anything Terraria has seen before! What will await you in this new adventure? You will have to wait and see on that, I'm afraid. In the meantime, enjoy some Fart Kart...


Hey, quit crapping around! We have work to do!!

Want some more tidbits? Ok then fine...


So, we heard you all might like some Coral Furniture - something to really bring the beach home to your base. Feast your eyes on this!




Who doesn't love a good World Seed, right? And traps, everyone hates traps right? This one will totally scratch that itch for all you trap-haters out there.


What else does Labor of Love have in store? When will it arrive? Well, you will have to stay tuned to find out!

The level of quality and quantity on the Terraria Steam Workshop keeps on growing and growing - with over 53,000 packs and worlds so far, you are missing out if you haven't taken the time to check out the Workshop yet. What are you waiting for?!



[h2]WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?[/h2]

Pretty much we are all-in on Labor of Love... though there are other things in the works to help us continue to prepare for our second project.



TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM



Hello everyone!

Hello everyone!

We have some definite progress this month that you will want to check out - tML will be doing monthly previews starting in April... and an update on tML 1.4 timing. Want all of the details? Read on!

April has been a big month for tML and it's looking like May will be an even bigger month. Some major mods have started the port to tML 1.4, and they have provided valuable feedback in the process. We'll start May with a focus on a built-in mod porting tool, tModPorter (thanks to Chik3r and Tomat from the community!), which will automate small code changes which have to be made in thousands of places, reducing the amount of manual effort required from modders. We ask modders to keep an eye on tML development, come chat with us in the Discord, and start porting their mods to 1.4 to be ready for when tML 1.4 launches!


As always, you can keep track the current progress and such more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.)

Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)



PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS
[h2]
CONSOLE/SWITCH/MOBILE CONTENT PARITY TO 1.4.3 REMAINS THE FOCUS
[/h2]

Parity at last! Well at least for a little while...

That's right Console Terrarians, in case you missed it, the 1.4.1 - 1.4.3 updates went live for Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch yesterday! So, at least until Labor of Love comes out, all Terrarians are at parity in terms of the core content of the game. Want to learn more about what all is included in this latest Terraria update? Click the banner below to head over to the official launch thread to get all of the juicy details!





Not to be outdone, Mobile Terrarians also received the 1.4.1 - 1.4.3 update yesterday! That's right, after yesterday's events, all actively-developed platforms of Terraria are on the same content version. This has only happened once for a VERY brief time (and to be fair, Labor of Love will break it again until we can catch back up), so this is certainly a momentous occasion. Of course, once Labor of Love is out, we will begin the work to get everyone back to parity as quickly as possible.

This update also comes with official support for Mouse and Keyboard on Mobile - in case you missed that last month.

Rest assured that once Labor of Love is out, the team at DR Studios will be hard at work to once again restore parity to the world of Terraria!

Terraria State of the Game - March 2022



Greetings Terrarians!

March already... well almost April really?! 2022 is flying by - but we are sure glad to see Spring starting to come into full bloom and with it, a lot of the plans we have been discussing in earlier States of the Game are close to coming to fruition! 1.4.3 for Consoles and Mobile (parity... at least for a time!) is right around the corner, Labor of Love draws ever-closer, and we have a lot of exciting things to come on the community and merch fronts as well. So much has already happened this year, but we are just getting warmed up.

Let's see what is in store shall we?



PC - RE-LOGIC

[h2]TERRARIA - LABOR OF LOVE UPDATE[/h2]

The team remains hard at work on a variety of Quality of Life and Balance updates alongside some other fun additions that will be coming your way with the Labor of Love update. We often get asked what we mean by "Quality of Life" updates - versus, say fixes or new features. So, we figured now would be a good time to show off one such QOL update that we are particularly happy to see added to Terraria. It is one that is a long time in coming - and one we figure will be pretty much universally popular.



What is this wizardry?!?

Simply put, we are increasing the stack size of nearly every stackable item in the game to 9999. Please note that there are some exceptions to this, but only around 10-15 which had to be kept as-is for mechanical purposes.

This is just one of the Quality of Life upgrades that you can expect once Labor of Love arrives later this year.

What else does Labor of Love have in store? When will it arrive? Well, you will have to stay tuned to find out!



[h2]STEAM WORKSHOP NEWS[/h2]


Click the banner above to check out the Terraria Workshop!

The level of quality and quantity on the Terraria Steam Workshop keeps on growing and growing - with over 50,000 packs and worlds so far, you are missing out if you haven't taken the time to check out the Workshop yet. What are you waiting for?!



[h2]WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?[/h2]

The team has been almost solely focused on the various aspects of Labor of Love now that it is in full developmental swing. That said, we are quite eager to get back onto progressing our second game - which we will do once Labor of Love is done!



TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM



Hello everyone!

Hello everyone!

We have some definite progress this month that you will want to check out - tML will be doing monthly previews starting in April... and an update on tML 1.4 timing. Want all of the details? Read on!

Moving forward, tML on Steam will have two different branches/betas: 'preview' and 'stable'. Most players on stable will be able to play without the fear of tModLoader updates breaking the game without notice. Each preview will be live for a month, giving modders time to update their mods and react to new changes, before becoming 'stable' at the end of the month. We encourage all 1.3 modders to come and start porting their mods to the preview next month! With some concerted effort, feedback and support, we hope to have the first 'stable' release of tML 1.4 in May, for Terraria 1.4's 2 year anniversary. For more info, come join us on Discord, and watch the collaborators and [TML 1.4 ALPHA] channels!



As always, you can keep track the current progress and such more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.)

Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)



PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS
[h2]
CONSOLE/SWITCH/MOBILE CONTENT PARITY TO 1.4.3 REMAINS THE FOCUS
[/h2]

The team remains hard at work putting the finishing touches on the upcoming 1.4.1 - 1.4.3 updates for Console and Mobile. We remain fully on-track as of now to get this update in everyone's hands in April. We are very close to being able to submit to all first parties for approval - but we cannot give an exact launch window yet because we do not know how long or how many review passes any given company will want. That said, we are getting close!

To tide you over, here is a little teaser of what is coming your way (with a video from Mobile this time - but everyone will be getting the same content)... watch the cursor closely.

[previewyoutube=KQxI9hxC0v4;full][/previewyoutube]

We are, of course, aware of some of the larger remaining bits (further KB+M work, Online+Splitscreen MP, etc) - and we still plan to get to these! Thanks so much for your feedback and reporting - with your help, we are able to fine tune and sort out issues to create a better Terraria experience for everyone!



Mobile news is much the same as the news for consoles... on track for April. Repeating that here in case you skipped straight here.

Again, it is our plan to bring Mobile and Console 1.4.1 - 1.4.3 out all together, all at once (send us your positive vibes please!) - and Mobile timing will be the same as shared above: April 2022.



COMMUNITY

Greetings Terrarians!

Here's the latest and greatest happenings on the Community side of things. Thanks as always for being the most engaged and awesome gaming Community ever!


[h2]THE OFFICIAL TERRARIA WIKI HAS A NEW HOME[/h2]

In case you missed the news, the Official Terraria wiki has moved to terraria.wiki.gg! As we shared in the news post, we made this move primarily to be able to have greater creative control over the appearance, ad content, etc. of the wiki in order to bring things together in a more consistent way for the long term. As in the past, Re-Logic receives nothing (revenue, etc) from the wiki - our involvement here is strictly to maximize the experience for the Terraria fans.



So, head on over to the new Official Terraria Wiki today, update your bookmarks, and help us spread the word about the new home for all things Terraria!

---

Just a few days later, both the Thorium and Calamity Wikis made the move to wiki.gg as well!






[h2]TERRARIA MERCHANDISE STORE HUB [/h2]

The merchandise hub is where you can find all of the latest and greatest Terraria merchandise - and we are kicking off the new year with a handful of new offerings, including brand new plush! Check out the latest merch drops as well as some classics and pick up that epic Terraria gift for a friend (or yourself!)

[h2]TERRARIA MERCHANDISE UPDATES[/h2]

March has been a pretty quiet month on the Terraria merch front - but we have a ton in the works that we expect to be able to reveal in the next little bit. From new designs in current categories to products that we have never had before, we are doing all that we can to keep things fresh. As always, you can head to the Terraria Merchandise Hub to see all that we have currently available!

New Official Terraria Wiki Launches Today!

Greetings Terrarians!

The Terraria Wiki has been a valuable resource to players everywhere over the nearly 11 years(!) of Terraria's history. With so much content to explore, having such a comprehensive summary of everything at your fingertips is simply fantastic. The Wiki has undergone quite a few changes over the years from its beginnings alongside Terraria Online all the way to the current iteration run by Fandom. Throughout that time, we have been so fortunate to work with a lot of awesome partners in order to evolve and maintain a strong wiki for our fans.

The time has come for the next step on the Terraria Wiki evolutionary journey! Starting today, Re-Logic is proud to announce that we are launching a new location and partner for the Official Terraria Wiki!



[h2]Moving forward, we will be partnering with the good folks at Freedom Games as one of the first games in their newly-launched wiki network. The new URL will be terraria.wiki.gg - and you can click on the image above to head there now![/h2]



We are making this move primarily to be able to have greater creative control over the appearance, ad content, etc. of the wiki in order to bring things together in a more consistent way for the long term. As in the past, Re-Logic receives nothing (revenue, etc) from the wiki - our involvement here is strictly to maximize the experience for the Terraria fans.


Why these folks in particular? Well, at a high level, these were the actual individuals whom were responsible (with a lot of community help, of course!!!) for building the amazing wiki that we have had over the years. For example, many of you may know or recall ReedemtheD3ad! from the Gamepedia wiki days. He is on point to help run this new wiki effort with Freedom Games, so we feel like things are in good hands here!


The Fandom wiki will remain in place as a second unofficial Wiki, and on speaking to them, it is their intent to keep it up and fully operational.



So what does this mean for you, the player?


[h2]WHAT'S DIFFERENT?[/h2]


  • Re-Logic has long wanted to further establish a more common "style"/look and feel across the various sites and ways in which our fans interact with Terraria. So, we have carried that through here by utilizing the style elements from our website and from our forums. In the future, we may explore "themes" like we have on the forums (Corruption, Crimson, Snow, etc) - but for now, we have used the base "Terraria" default theme as our basis.
  • Ads should be less obtrusive - we are actively avoiding some of the more problematic approaches here, which we have heard are an issue loud and clear from our community.
  • Ads will be "in-house", Freedom Games do not use a third party service like Google and they receive no direct revenue, they simply point to games that they publish.
  • Our ability to make changes - from our own ideas or from community feedback - will be exponentially higher. Simply put, we have more control now... which means so do you.
  • With a much closer relationship than in the past, we hope that this will mean faster updating as new content, etc. arrives.
  • We will be adding a link to the wiki from inside the game on PC. This already exists on Console/Mobile, but all links will be updated as soon as possible.




[h2]WHAT REMAINS THE SAME?[/h2]

  • The starting point for the new Official Terraria Wiki will be the current form of the past wiki. You will find all of the old information there - so no need to reinvent the wheel or be worried that the important tip for how to beat that seemingly-impossible boss will be gone. We have done our best to ensure that all of that information made the journey over.
  • As mentioned above, the top management team of the Gamepedia wiki days are here... so there are some very familiar faces. Don't be a stranger!
  • The rules, etc. should be more or less the same as in the past.
  • The Fandom Wiki will continue to be in place as it has in the past - we do not have any issues with this, and think it will remain as a good additional option for folks.



[h2]WHAT DO WE NEED FROM YOU?[/h2]


  • We need your help in establishing our new Official Terraria Wiki as the place to go for Terraria information! Make it your go-to spot, update your favorites, and be sure to link to/from the new wiki when chatting with each other about Terraria!
  • We need your help in editing and creating new content for the Wiki as time moves on.
  • Most importantly, we need your feedback! The enhanced ability to make tweaks and changes, etc. means nothing unless we are making it a better wiki for all of you. We have created a special thread here on our Forums for you to provide that feedback. Alternatively, you can join in on the discussion directly with the team over at the Official Terraria Wiki Discord. The team will be sure to read and consider everything you suggest.


[h3]
Official Terraria Wiki Feedback Thread on TCF[/h3]




That's it, everyone - we hope that this feels like a good move for the Terraria Community in the long term. Once we get through this initial transition phase, we look forward to helping to provide an amazing Terraria Wiki experience that will better serve you all for years to come! Have any questions or concerns? Leave us a note here in this thread.


Cheers!

Terraria State of the Game - February 2022



Greetings Terrarians!

In case you missed it, 2022 is certainly turning into a lovely year for Terraria! From starting the year with a pair of awards to last month's reveal of the big "parity" update for Console & Mobile Terrarians to this month's surprise sneak peek into the upcoming - and aptly named - Labor of Love Update for Terraria, how can you not love all that is going on in the world of Terraria right now? Of course, we couldn't do any of this without the love and support that you show us each and every day. So thank you, once again and we love you all!

Now... on with the show!



PC - RE-LOGIC

[h2]TERRARIA - STEAM DECK UPDATE (1.4.3.3)[/h2]



With the Steam Deck officially launching yesterday, we pushed out our Steam Deck Optimization Update in parallel. This update contains both changes targeted towards Steam Deck and non-Deck players. The changes outside of the Deck stuff are mostly focused on bug fixes and some quality of life/balance tweaks. Bigger changes are coming down the road in the Labor of Love Update (for more information on that, keep reading!). For a full set of notes on the Steam Deck Optimization Update, check out the dedicated link below!

[h3]TERRARIA STEAM DECK OPTIMIZATION UPDATE (1.4.3.3) RELEASE NOTES[/h3]



[h2]TERRARIA - LABOR OF LOVE UPDATE[/h2]

In case you missed the big reveal a week or so ago, renowned Terraria influencer/content creator/all around superstar and great guy ChippyGaming had a world exclusive reveal of the upcoming Labor of Love Update for Terraria. Rather than go over all of that again, why not re-share the reveal video AND a follow-up video that delves deeper into some spoiler-y goodness that has been revealed since!

[previewyoutube=f54-UKvcGVs;full][/previewyoutube]

[previewyoutube=ZFAF146gF28;full][/previewyoutube]

...and seriously, if you have not subscribed to Chippy's channel, you need to get on that immediately!

Oh... and our resident QA expert Leinfors shared this little goodie on Twitter earlier this week:



What else does Labor of Love have in store? When will it arrive? Well, you will have to stay tuned to find out!



[h2]STEAM WORKSHOP NEWS[/h2]


Click the banner above to check out the Terraria Workshop!

The level of quality and quantity on the Terraria Steam Workshop keeps on growing and growing - with over 50,000 packs and worlds so far, you are missing out if you haven't taken the time to check out the Workshop yet. What are you waiting for?!



[h2]WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?[/h2]

Well, besides some good-natured fun with our Twitter locations (just keeping you all on your toes) and work on Labor of Love, we remain in the planning stages for our second game. What that might be and so on and so forth will be shared in due time, but likely not any time soon.



TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM



Hello everyone!

The TML Team remains hard at work as we inch closer and closer to getting this thing done! We saw some notable performance improvements this month, but the big feature we're working on currently is a monthly release cycle with preview and stable streams. As you are likely aware, in the past there has always been a bit of a disconnect between tML updates and updates on specific mods - where the modders have to wait on a tML update to release and then scramble to update their mods accordingly.

This new feature will allow modders to be be able to respond to new tML features and changes - and get their mods ready in advance - by developing and testing against the preview version. Then, at the end of each month, ideally, people playing on stable will get simultaneous tML and mod updates, and should be able to continue their playthroughs unimpeded. Solxan has been busy working on this new deployment, and when we have it ready and tested we will encourage all modders to port their mods to 1.4.

Beyond that, the TML 1.4 Alpha remains available for you to check out. Again, please keep in mind that this Alpha is primarily intended for developers as an audience - so play around with it at your own risk!

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1281930/discussions/0/3051733836205288319/


As always, you can keep track the current progress and such more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.)

Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)



PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS
[h2]
CONSOLE/SWITCH/MOBILE CONTENT PARITY TO 1.4.3 REMAINS THE FOCUS
[/h2]
Given that we do not really know the timing or full content of the Labor of Love update as well as all of the already-completed work on 1.4.1 - 1.4.3 for Consoles and Mobile, the team made the decision to keep plowing ahead with our original plans. That means we will be focused on getting "current" parity into players' hands as quickly as possible. Now, there is a chance Labor of Love comes out first (which means we better rename this update) or there is a chance that this is a parity update that is then followed by PC jumping ahead again for a time. In either case, the team will be pivoting to bringing 1.4.4 to everyone just as soon as possible after the release of 1.4.1 - 1.4.3 plus any fixes needed.


So, with that topic taken care of, who wants to see more goodies coming your way in the Parity Update? How about a quick look at what's going on in The Constant seed?

[previewyoutube=TFFOKYb36ho;full][/previewyoutube]

Want more? Ok then, fine!
[h3]
We are happy to reveal that our current trajectory has us on track to deliver the parity (1.4.3) update to everyone sometime in April 2022.[/h3]

To be clear, there are a lot of moving parts here to make this happen not the least of which are the various review processes from Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, etc. so things could slip either way a bit as we are trying to bring every platform out at the same time. As we get a better sense and that window tightens up, we will be sure to share it with you all just as soon as we can!

We are, of course, aware of some of the larger remaining bits (further KB+M work, Online+Splitscreen MP, etc) - and we still plan to get to these! Thanks so much for your feedback and reporting - with your help, we are able to fine tune and sort out issues to create a better Terraria experience for everyone!



Mobile news is much the same as the news for consoles... except that we can share that Mobile progress has gone smashingly well so far. What's that you say? You deserve a spoiler too? Well we agree! Check out these familiar friends that stopped by for a visit on Mobile Terraria...



It is our plan to bring Mobile and Console Parity out all together, all at once (send us your positive vibes please!) - and Mobile timing will be the same as shared above: April 2022.

These are very limited edition Meowmere swords that were lovingly created by our friends at Fire and Steel. These are the real deal - made out of stainless steel and hand crafted to remain authentic to Meowmere itself. We have sent a handful of these out to our long-time friends and partners - but we can share that there will be two avenues for folks to get their hands on one of these epic pieces. We will be doing a raffle of sorts to give away 10 or so at some point (more details on that later), and the remaining 25 are available now for sale at Fire and Steel's site via the link below.

[h3]ANIMEGAMI STUDIOS REVEALS TERRARIA MINI-BIOMES - Your Feedback is Requested[/h3]



The fantastic folks over at Animegami Studios, hot on the heels of the amazing Forest Biome piece (which is amazing if you haven't checked it out) has heard the desires of the Terraria community for a more accessible piece (or pieces) price-wise. The video below is a showcase of just that - the Terraria Mini-Biome series. With a target price point in the ~$100-$150 range, the team hopes that these are something far more Terrarians can get into in the event that they don't want to go all-in on something as extravagant as the Forest Biome piece. On top of that, the team would love to have your feedback on these pieces and more - so please take a few moments to check out the video and give them your thoughts via the Google Form link below!

Terraria 1.4.3.3 - Steam Deck Optimization Update Release Notes



Greetings Terrarians!

As we have mentioned over the past few months, the team has been hard at work on an update to further optimize Terraria for Steam Deck play - inclusive of performance and controls. With the Steam Deck officially shipping out to players starting today, we are pleased to be able to push this update out to everyone just in time! For Terrarians that are not playing on Steam Deck at this time, dont fret, as we have some quality of life, balance, and bug fixes for you as well. Without further ado, let's dive right in!

Please note that this update also includes an update to the Terraria Dedicated Server application. You can always find the latest version of this at the bottom of Terraria.org, but we have included a link below for today's version as well:

[h3]TERRARIA DEDICATED SERVER APPLICATION (1.4.3.4)[/h3]

[h3]LATEST LOCALIZATION FILES FOR LANGUAGE PACKS (1.4.3.4)[/h3]


TERRARIA STEAM DECK CONTROLS

Beyond technical under the hood performance optimizations and such, what else do we mean when we say "optimizing Terraria for Steam Deck"? Well one area of focus has been controls.

When we sat down to enjoy Terraria on the Steam Deck for the first time, we immediately realized that we needed to make a few tweaks to fully take advantage of all that this new system has to offer. Above and beyond the default touch controls provided by Steam Deck (which we may look to improve on in the future), we put together the little graphic below to show you how we have optimized things for all of the controls available on the Steam Deck:



[h2]Left Trackpad[/h2] This gives you access to a handful of often-used commands right at your fingertips:


  • Up > Quick Heal
  • Left > Quick Buff
  • Right > Quick Mana
  • Down > Mount/Dismount


[h2]Right Trackpad[/h2] This provides the player with a manual cursor, akin to using a mouse or a trackpad on a laptop

  • Pressing in the Right Trackpad acts as if you have pressed the Shift key on your keyboard


[h2]Back Buttons[/h2] These will give you easy and ready access to all of your minimap and game window zoom options:

  • Bottom Left > Minimap Zoom Out
  • Bottom Right > Minimap Zoom In
  • Top Left > World Zoom Out
  • Top Right > World Zoom In



[h2]Battery Life[/h2] - We have done a handful of battery life tests on our development kit playing Terraria, and we find that we can typically get between 3.5 and 5.5 hours of playtime between charges depending on brightness settings as well as the intensity of action in the game.


Obviously, Terraria is a game with a lot of possibilities in the way in which you can control things and in the demand for controls/buttons to get the job done. We are super happy to be able to take full advantage of the additional space on the control map provided by Steam Deck in order to help streamline your Terraria adventures and make controlling your character and world feel just right. Of course, all of these are just defaults that we think feel great - but everything is remappable in case you disagree and want to change things up!



CHANGES & BALANCE

[h2]GENERAL CHANGES[/h2]


  • Summoned Minions, Sentries, and their projectiles should no longer harm critters
  • Updated Bundle of Balloons' sprite to reflect the items that went into it better
  • When placing a Graveyard-crafted version of a natural backwall directly next to a natural version of that wall, they should now merge seamlessly rather than having a large border between them
  • Skeletron now drops Healing Potions instead of Lesser Healing Potions. This same drop will also be applied to Deerclops, though Queen Bee will continue to drop her Bottled Honey instead.
  • Flinx Fur now requires less to research in Journey mode
  • All food (except Ale and Sake) now require less to research in Journey mode
  • All Biome crates, as well as Dungeon and Obsidian Lockboxes, now require less to research in Journey mode
  • Black and Pink Pearls are now more common when opening Oysters. Their sell value has been proportionally reduced.
  • Obsidian can now be mined by Pickaxes of 55% mining power or higher (for example, Gold Pickaxe)
  • When defeating the Wall of Flesh in Classic mode, it will now always drop 1 weapon and 1 emblem, like Expert treasure bags do
  • Heart and Star Statues are now twice as likely to be found in worldgen compared to other statues
  • Increased Web Shooter's range by 25%
  • Piranha Gun's Piranhas should now be much better able to keep up with rapidly moving enemies, assuming that enemy isn't teleporting or briefly becoming invulnerable
  • Changed Fairy Wing's recipe to only take 99 Pixie Dust instead of 100 (as 99 is the max stack for Pixie Dust)
  • Stained Glass now sells for a more reasonable value, compared to the gems used to make it
  • Optimized worldgen during the Desert chest placement stage
  • The Virtual Keyboard (in-game keyboard for Gamepad) is now used for IP/password entry and other Multiplayer text entry menus



[h2]
DEERCLOPS
[/h2]


  • The Guide now has a hint about how to find Deerclops if the player has not yet defeated it
  • Deerclops' HP values now scale at a modified rate in Expert and Master, like other bosses. As a result, it will now have a lower maximum HP in both Expert and Master.
  • The above fix also addresses an issue where Deerclops' HP did not scale UP with increased player count in Expert/Master multiplayer games
  • Deerclops now only remains present in the Snow biome for 1 day when no players are present, instead of 3 days.
  • Deerclops' boss bar will disappear from the screen when suitably far enough away from it that the boss fight is not active. It will re-appear again once the fight is resumed.
  • Fixed an oversight where Deerclops had 0 defense
  • After defeating Deerclops, it now only has a 25% chance to spawn again naturally under proper conditions. This was previously 100% chance.
  • Deerclops now drops potions on death; in this case, regular Healing Potions like Skeletron.





[h2]NPC HAPPINESS CHANGES[/h2]


  • Pylons now require a minimum of 2 NPCs under all conditions to be sold
  • The minimum required happiness for NPCs to sell Pylons is now more forgiving, with the number from 0.85 to 0.9 (the lower the number, the happier, with 1.0 being completely neutral). This means that it is now easier to make NPCs happy enough to sell a Pylon.
  • If an NPC is present in a hybrid biome (for example, the Hallowed Desert), and they like at least one of those biomes, then they will gain positive happiness from the biome they like. This will only work for a liked biome vs a neutral/disliked biome; it will not allow a neutral biome to overcome a disliked biome. This also does not override major unhappiness/housing invalidation due to being near the Corruption, Crimson, or Dungeon.
  • The number of NPCs you can have in a town before Crowded penalties begin to take effect has been increased by 1




BUG FIXES


  • Fixed an issue where the Eyebrella Cloud positioned itself oddly when a player is sleeping
  • Fixed an issue where a number of blocks which should have blocked light were not blocking light
  • Fixed an issue where Honey and Dry Bombs could not be placed on Weapon Racks
  • Fixed an issue where Torch God's projectiles from Corrupt Torches generated snow dust
  • Fixed an issue where Chester's Smart Cursor outline did not rotate with him when in the air
  • Fixed an issue where walking Goldfish couldn't be Corrupted/Crimson'd like other Goldfish
  • Fixed an issue where Desert Tiger did not bounce on enemies correctly if your Journey time settings were paused or sped up
  • Fixed a bug with lava fishing gear incorrectly impacting fishing time
  • Fixed an issue where Obsidian Armor had white item rarity even though, for its tier, it should have been a higher rarity color
  • Fixed an issue where Lucy didn't speak if you cut down Palm Trees or Cacti
  • Fixed some issues involving Jungle Shrines and Giant Mahogany Trees, where overlapping generation could cause broken chests
  • Fixed an issue where Star-generating Cloak accessories did not properly sync their star generation in multiplayer
  • Fixed a multiplayer issue where Plantera's spore projectiles were not syncing properly
  • Fixed an issue where the Electrified debuff had an inaccurate and non-informative buff info text
  • Fixed an issue causing Elf Melter to use 2 ammo per use
  • Fixed an issue where Chain Guillotine's chain would vanish at some angles
  • Fixed an issue where some UI Control text was broken in Polish language settings
  • Fixed an text-based multiplayer crash
  • Fixed rare crash when certain NPCs spawn in droves

Terraria State of the Game - January 2022



Greetings Terrarians!

We missed you over the holiday break - between all of the usual family and friends, running around, and with more or less all of the pertinent news items being covered off at the end of November, we decided to push off the State of the Game and just move on into the new year. So here we are, 2022 has kicked off with a bang. Week one saw Terraria winning the 2022 Labor of Love Steam Award as well as the launch of Journey's End on Nintendo Switch. Week two saw the re-imagined China Mobile version of Terraria winning TapTap's 2021 Game of the Year. Behind the scenes, things have been equally busy, with each development team hard at work on what is to come later this year. What all does that entail, you say? Let's get into the details!

Happy New Year!



PC - RE-LOGIC

[h2]TERRARIA - LABOR OF LOVE & TAPTAP GAME OF THE YEAR[/h2]



You like us, you really, really like us! At long last, the loyalty and strength of the Terraria Community won out, delivering the 2021 Labor of Love Steam Award to Terraria! As in years' past, we were up against some pretty tough competitors, so this is no small feat. We cannot say what all this means to us, other than "a whole lot" - I think a couple of team members might have even teared up a little. Suffice to say, we cannot thank you all enough for your amazing support this year, in the past, and in what is going to be a bright future. You all are what this is all about. Bravo!

Hot on the heels of the Labor of Love Award, we found out that the China Mobile version of Terraria won TapTap's 2021 Game of the Year. Yeah, we know this isn't technically PC news, but we are excited nonetheless, and felt it fit right in next to the Steam Award. This is a fully revamped and reimagined version of Mobile in China - much more aligned to the version that the rest of the world enjoys. It is beyond exciting to see such a strong level of support and enthusiasm for this release of our beloved game, and we look forward to seeing what other milestones it can achieve! Big thanks to the team at DR Studios and XDN for their hard work in making China Mobile awesome again!




[h2]STEAM WORKSHOP NEWS[/h2]


Click the banner above to check out the Terraria Workshop!

The level of quality and quantity on the Terraria Steam Workshop just continues to climb - over 46,000 packs and worlds so far, and it just... keeps... growing! If you have not checked out the Workshop yet, what are you waiting for?



[h2]TERRARIA WORKSHOP DEVELOPER'S CHOICE SELECTIONS[/h2]
Over the break and beyond, the team has had a chance to catch up on some of the latest Packs and Worlds on the Steam Workshop. So, here you have it - our latest suite of Developer's Choice sections!


[h3]The Spirits of Halloween[/h3]
The best party is a Costume Party, am I right?

[h3]airarreT[/h3]
What could possibly go wrong when you combine every seed together and toss it into For the Worthy Mastermode?

[h3]Don't Starve Together Spiders[/h3]
Kinda wish we had done this one ourselves...

-----


[h3]Castlevania Map[/h3]
What a horrible night to have a curse... on this simply amazing map.



[h2]WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?[/h2]

Funny you should ask! Steam Deck optimizations are nearly complete - in fact, we are likely looking to push those live soon to be ready well in advance of Steam Deck launch in late February. Unless you are playing on Steam Deck, you will not see much difference in this build, outside of a handful of bug fixes, etc. Our team is beyond excited for this new platform, and we have had a ton of fun messing around to try and get things feeling and running "just right" in time for launch. As for what else we have going on - a lot of experimentation continues around the future. After all, we need to be sure that our labors are worthy of your love moving forward, right?

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM



Hello everyone!


We're making slow, but steady progress towards a jump from Alpha to Beta! Before everything else, we would like to announce to the forums the late news that we have a new API developer. Everyone give a warm welcome to Solxan - a long time contributor to 1.4 TML - whose help has been so immeasurable towards the progression of project, that he now has been given write permissions for the tModLoader repository.


We appreciate everyone's feedback and input during the Alpha phase thus far, and we hope that you have enjoyed a glimpse into what the future will hold for tModLoader. More to come on the Beta and how all of that will work as we get closer, but we do not want to get too far ahead of ourselves. For now, here is a bit more detail into what we are working on right now...


Our main development focus is currently on the following:


Almost done
- Entity spawn hooks & contextual sources (1.4_onspawn)
- Data-oriented rework of tiles (1.4_data_oriented_tiles)

Work in Progress
- A final redesign of audio systems (1.4_soundfix)
- Designing & setting up the environment for beta release cycles
- Topological sorting-based redesign of interface layers and world generation passes
- Post-merge improvements for the asset system redesign;

Of course, the TML 1.4 Alpha remains available for you to check out. Again, please keep in mind that this Alpha is primarily intended for developers as an audience - so play around with it at your own risk!

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1281930/discussions/0/3051733836205288319/


As always, you can keep track the current progress and such more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.)

Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)



PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS

Greetings, Terrarians! The team has mostly been focused on Switch Development and hotfixes... but we already have a keen eye on the future! What will that entail? Read on!

[h2]
CONSOLE/SWITCH/MOBILE CONTENT PARITY DEVELOPMENT IS UNDERWAY
[/h2]

What's up next now that we have Switch Journey's End out of the door (pending a few more fixes, of course)? Why its the long-mentioned Content Parity Update! For years, non-PC players have followed behind on content, but these days will be coming to a close in 2022, as the DR team will be bringing content parity for everyone to fruition. Obviously, each platform will have its differences in features (touch for Mobile/Switch, etc), but as for the core content of the game itself, everyone will be on the same page. The timeline is still a bit TBD, but as soon as we have a better idea, we will share it. The plan is for this to come to all platforms at once... or as close as possible.

That means that we are aiming to bring 1.4.1, 1.4.2, and 1.4.3 to you all at once.

Now, to be clear, that does not include things like tModLoader or Steam Workshop-style pack support at this time. Those remain interesting ideas that the team will explore - but first things first, getting everyone to the same version of the core Terraria experience. We hope that you are just as excited as we are!

What's that, you want a quick teaser... well, alright then. To be clear, we have a lot of work ahead still, but without further ado we give you

[h3]Deerclops on Console and Mobile - an Early Sneak Peek[/h3]

We are, of course, aware of some of the larger remaining bits (further KB+M work, Online+Splitscreen MP, etc) - and we still plan to get to these! Thanks so much for your feedback and reporting during the launch and since - with your help, we are able to fine tune and sort out issues to create a better Terraria experience for everyone!

Terraria Wins the 2021 Labor of Love Steam Award!



What else can we say but wow. Just wow, Terrarians. You are all simply amazing and it is so humbling to finally be able to pull down the win here - and against rather stiff competition.

We know it is 100% due to your loyal support of our team and game over the years, and it is truly a pleasure to be able to work on an amazing game such as Terraria and then to share it with all of you.

Terraria truly is a Labor of Love for our team - like a family member to us - and to see it gain recognition such as this means more than we can say. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much to each and every fan out there and for each and every vote.

It has been and remains our honor to deliver the Terraria experience to you. We look forward to an even brighter future ahead - with Steam Deck optimizations, content parity for all platforms, and (hopefully, fingers crossed!) crossplay later this year. Journey's End may have arrived, but it sure feels like just the beginning to us.

Beyond that, well, time will tell as they say, right?

We need all of your support: get your votes in now for Terraria to win the 2021 Labor of Love Award, encourage your friends to do so, spread the word and lets get it done!



10 years and counting. New updates rolling in even after "Journey's End", including the amazing DST Crossover and Steam Workshop support. Never a microtransaction. Never a paid DLC.

This is it, friends, let's make it happen - Terraria = your Labor of Love winner for the 2021 Steam Awards.

Finally pulling in the win here would honestly mean a lot for the Re-Logic team and would be great recognition for how we view the game and each of you. No matter what, know that we appreciate each and every one of you and your support over the years. Terraria is not just a game to us, it is family.

So, we would once again humbly ask your votes and for your help in getting the word out to everyone you can think of to head on over and vote for Terraria!

To vote for Terraria, just head to the Steam Awards Voting Page (or just click the big VOTE button in the banner at the top of the page), find Labor of Love, pick Terraria and let's go!

[h2]TERRARIA WORKSHOP DEVELOPER'S CHOICE SELECTIONS[/h2]
The team has unfortunately just been beyond slammed over the last month, so we will have to hold off on more Developer's Choice selections - likely until the new year. Sorry all!



[h2]WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?[/h2]

We are going to gratefully take the extra time allowed by the recent Steam Deck launch delays to take our Deck optimizations a bit further. More on that later, once we get a bit further clear from the 1.4.3 launch/fixes!


Beyond that, we will have to just continue to ask for your patience and trust in our process as we continue our own journey towards whatever lies ahead.



TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM



Hello everyone!

Hello everyone!

We continue onward, working tirelessly towards the goal of tModLoader for Terraria 1.4. Recent noteworthy progress includes a move to the fresh .NET 6 with C# 10, and a repair of the current modded sound playback design (Thanks, ExterminatorX99!).

  • Fixed: A single hairstyle displays outside the hair stylist popup

The team is feeling pretty good about this fix list, but we know a handful of bugs and issues are still wandering out there in the wild. We have most of these documented (again, the best way to make sure your issue is seen is to file a Bug Report in the TCF Bug Section by pressing the button below!)





[h2]NINTENDO SWITCH[/h2]

NINTENDO SWITCH


We have what we hope will be an early holiday gift to our Switch fans: Terraria: Journey's End is in the final stages of development and submission, and


[h2]We are pleased to reveal that the launch date will be January 4, 2022![/h2]


This build is a match to the fixes and content that PlayStation and Xbox had as of the start of November. Any relevant additional fixes listed for Consoles above - as well as any other Switch-specific fixes - will be submitted to Nintendo for release as quickly as possible.


So we know the big question will be why can it not come out before the end of the year if you are so close right now? The reality there is that companies including Nintendo are nearing the end of year/holidays. As we all know, that means a lot of folks out on vacation and/or full company shutdowns. If we were to release - say in December - this would create a scenario where if there are any bugs or issues at all, they would essentially be impossible to fix (even if DR had a fix made instantly) until probably sometime in mid-January. It is just an unfortunate dynamic of this time of year. This gets the update out just as soon as possible in the new year, avoiding that risk.



While we are confident in this build, every launch has some bugs, and we just dont want to put everyone in a situation where there are issues that everyone is powerless to address. Now, that said, the team will continue to test and fix in the meantime and go ahead and get whatever else they can find already in the queue. Hopefully, that makes sense to everyone, but we are happy to answer any questions that you might have.


MOBILE - DR STUDIOS

Hello everyone!

Mobile Terrarians, we are growing ever-closer to a return to development - this time, alongside our Console friends! The team is eagerly anticipating jumping headlong into bringing content parity to all platforms in the new year, we just need to get any needed Switch fixes out before we dive in. Not much longer now!

We have also been made aware of some issues impacting some players in regards to Android 11. The team will be looking into this shortly, and we will get any needed fixes out just as soon as possible!

[h2]TERRARIA: JOURNEY'S END MOBILE BUG REPORTS[/h2]

For anyone not familiar with Jaiden Animations beyond the Terraria series, she is a talented and amazing artist and content creator with a very unique style all her own. Definitely worth checking out her YouTube channel, linked below:

An Eye For An Eye: Terraria x Don't Starve Together Crossover Update Out Now!

Greetings Terrarians - and welcome to The Constant!

As we revealed just a few short weeks ago, we have been hard at work in secret with our good friends at Klei Entertainment in order to bring the fans of both Terraria and Don't Starve Together a brand new free content update that faithfully pulls part of each game into the other. How will all of this work? What precisely do we have in store for our side of the crossover? Venture forth, brave Terrarians and learn more about what awaits you as The Constant collides with the world of Terraria!



A WORD OF INTRODUCTION ABOUT TERRARIA x DON'T STARVE TOGETHER

Long, long ago (ok it was about six months ago), the Terraria development team held an AMA on Reddit in celebration of Terraria's 10th Anniversary. During that AMA, one curious person posed a simple question to the team, which was answered directly by Cenx...



Well, it just so happens that our good friends at Klei Entertainment took the time to read that very AMA thread - and that got them to thinking that maybe there was something to this idea. Emails and pleasantries were exchanged, thoughts and ideas were shared, leaks were had (oops!), and a lot of friends were made. All of that to bring to both of our fanbases what we hope will come as a pleasant surprise free content update that releases for both games today!

Crossovers like this - between two of the top games on Steam in terms of players and reviews - are usually either uncommon or very limited or both. Our two teams took a different path, seeing this as a passion project - one that needed to do justice to each game and present and authentic experience for both fanbases. It has been amazing to watch the collaboration, the ideas just flowing and the shared fandom for each others' work. Relationships were forged here that we certainly hope will last for a very long time.

We have done our very best to summarize both side of this amazing crossover collaboration below - in the hopes that each fanbase will take the time to check out and enjoy the content from their favorite game in the other and vice versa. Thanks as always to the fans - your support truly makes things like this so much fun to work on. Cheers!

So, without further ado, we give you...



These update notes will cover all of the following:
[h2]TERRARIA'S SIDE OF THE CROSSOVER

DON'T STARVE TOGETHER'S SIDE OF THE CROSSOVER

TERRARIA x DON'T STARVE TOGETHER MERCHANDISE & STEAM POINTS SHOP ITEMS
[/h2]



THE CONSTANT - A DON'T STARVE INSPIRED WORLD SEED

The team debated long and hard about the best way to bring the gameplay dynamics of Don't Starve Together into Terraria in a fun and clever way. Rather than having a standalone "event" (as we did with Dungeon Defenders 2), we decided to utilize the World Seed functionality present in Journey's End to create a more holistic Don't Starve x Terraria experience. What awaits you should you dare to explore The Constant?



[h3]Don't Starve Inspired Shaders and Lighting[/h3]



[h3]Stay in the Light! Total Darkness is Hazardous to your Health![/h3]



[h3]Feed your Hunger with Tasty Food... or Face the Consequences![/h3]

[h3]Don't Starve Inspired Worldgen[/h3]
[h3]
Higher Drop Rates for Don't Starve Inspired Items
[/h3]

To explore this new way to play Terraria, Don't Starve Together style, simply enter "The Constant" as your world seed upon creating a new world. Good luck, Terrarians!



DEERCLOPS - CLIPPING & CLOPPING, HERE COMES A STOMPING!



What adventure would be complete without a worthy foe to battle? Not this one, that's for sure! Our team has always loved the Deerclops in our plays of Don't Starve Together, so we immediately gravitated towards adding it as our featured boss battle for this crossover. We targeted this boss for mid/late Pre-Hardmode so that it would be accessible to as many players as possible. Make sure you check out his super-cool theme music - provided by Klei themselves and inspired from Deerclops' theme in Don't Starve!

You can summon this terrifying foe in the cold climate of the Ice Biome. What awaits you in this fight? Well... you will have to wait and see for yourselves!



DON'T STARVE TOGETHER INSPIRED ITEMS

What Terraria update would be complete without an array of new items to discover and use? We have added over 25 items lifted from or inspired by Don't Starve Together content. These range from new pets to weapons to vanity and more! These can drop on any world, but players will find a higher drop rate on worlds using the DST "The Constant" seed!


[h3]New Tools & Weapons - Including Lucy the Axe[/h3]


[h3]New Pets & Summons
[/h3]


[h3]Chester - A Pet that Functions As a Piggy Bank[/h3]

[h2]New Content and Changes[/h2]
Added a Don't Starve themed seed
- Play with Don't Starve-inspired shaders and lighting
- Complete darkness is now dangerous to your health
- Players will need to eat or face hunger and eventual starvation
- A few minor Don't Starve inspired worldgen features
- Has substantially improved drop rates and availablility of Don't Starve related items

  • Fixed a rare bug with some minions that could make them despawn
  • Fixed some issues with certain sentry minions which could result in desync for players joining after they had been summoned
  • Fixed an issue where Celestial Starboard did not draw/make dust properly in reverse gravity
  • Fixed an issue with some Rocket projectiles, resulting in a number of silent and not so silent crashes
  • Fixed a subtle issue where certain items were a different color in the hotbar than they were in the inventory
  • Fixed a bug where Boulders and Rolling Cacti qualified as Ranged items eligible of dealing Frostburn if you wore the Frost Armor
  • Fixed an issue where Smooth Marble Blocks didn't merge with dirt, ash, or frozen slime blocks (despite merging with most other blocks)
  • Fixed an issue where some of the newer campfires didn't have Smart Cursor outlines
  • Fixed an issue preventing Honey Pit microbiomes from spawning in the Jungle
  • Fixed a bug where Thorns-effects hit Empress of Light at an extremely rapid rate
  • Fixed an issue where Light Dynasty Walls showed an inaccurate teal map color
  • Fixed an issue where some config settings are reset every time an update or hotfix occurs.





[h2]TERRARIA 1.4.3 UPDATED DEDICATED SERVER AND RESOURCE PACK FILES[/h2]


[h3]TERRARIA DEDICATED SERVER - 1.4.3


TERRARIA LOCALIZATION FILES (FOR USE IN RESOURCE PACKS) - 1.4.3
[/h3]




DON'T STARVE TOGETHER UPDATE HIGHLIGHTS

For the DST Team, we absolutely knew that if we were going to do this crossover any justice we absolutely had to bring a boss (or two?) to the Constant. And, of course, we can't miss the opportunity to put our spin on a bunch of their coolest items.



[h3]Eye Wonder[/h3]
Somewhere in the game world, survivors may come across the mysterious Terrarium setpiece which will allow players to encounter the Eye of Terror boss, (Terraria's Eye of Cthulu - as seen through the lens of the Constant) complete with its own Terraria inspired theme music.

For our seasoned survivors, the Twins of Terror can be summoned for an added challenge. Each boss has its own unique eye-catching equipment item, and we've also added new statues of these bosses to show off your triumphs.



[h3]Peep this[/h3]
We've added a spect-ocular new critter for you to watch over, a new food item to fulfill your survivor's dairy needs, and we have a couple of new crockpot recipes for you to feast your eyes on as well.



[h3]Constant Style [/h3]
We have introduced several Terraria item skins into Don't Starve Together as well as a 3 piece character set inspired by Terraria's traveling merchant. Exclusive to the "An Eye for an Eye" update, these skins are definitely out of this world. These item skins cannot be purchased and can only be woven with spool. I hope you have been saving up!



[h3]Get 'em while they're hot![/h3]
Of course, we can't have a bunch of new skins without giving some away, so for a limited time log in to receive the Terrarized chest with 6 free elegant skins! Yep, 6. This login bonus chest will be available for all players to claim until our next update in December.





TERRARIA x DON'T STARVE TOGETHER STEAM POINTS ITEMS & MERCHANDISE

We worked hand-in-hand with our partners at Klei to put together some Steam Points Shop items as well as a handful of crossover-themed merchandise in celebration of this occasion!

[h2]TERRARIA x DON'T STARVE MERCHANDISE[/h2]

Terraria State of the Game - October 2021



Greetings Terrarians!

One of our favorite holidays approaches - Halloween! We don't know about you, but between the decorations, costumes, parties and more, it is just such a fun time of year. We hope that each of you gets a bit of time to indulge your spookier side and to maybe enjoy a handful of tricks or treats. Speaking of, we have a full candy pail of both to hand out for this month's State of the Game... so step right up, ring the doorbell, and let's see what horrific surprises await Terrarians everywhere!



PC - RE-LOGIC

[h2]SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES - CROSSOVER WITH DON'T STARVE TOGETHER REVEALED![/h2]





In case you missed the big reveal last week, we are doing the second major crossover update in the history of Terraria - this time with the long-running hit indie survival game, Don't Starve Together! Our good friends at Klei Entertainment have been hard at work in parallel with the team at Re-Logic in order to make both sides of this crossover worthy of the fanbases - and authentic to the gameplay - of each of these amazing titles. As you can tell from the above gifs, we are swapping terrifying foes. What else might be making the journey to DST and vice versa? Well... you will have to wait just a bit longer to find out. Stay vigilant, Terrarians, for life in The Constant can be quite harsh indeed!



[h2]TERRARIA IS 50% OFF DURING THE STEAM HALLOWEEN SALE![/h2]

[/h2]
As in the past, we are gathering up our possible selections that we will reveal in a future State of the Game!



[h2]WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?[/h2]

We have a few Game Jams that are a bit on hold while we wrap up the collaboration with Don't Starve Together and the Steam Deck optimizations. The team is quite excited to delve back into these experiments soon!


So, for now, we will have to just continue to ask for your patience and trust in our process as we continue our own journey towards whatever lies ahead.

[h2]XBOX & PLAYSTATION[/h2]


Greetings, Terrarians! Last time we checked in, we were just about to release Journey's End for Xbox and PlayStation. What a month it has been since then! Let's take a moment to check in on progress made on your feedback and bug reports - as well as a glimpse into what lies ahead!

[h3]CONSOLE JOURNEY'S END FIXES & FEEDBACK[/h3]

HOTFIX #1 - OCTOBER 1, 2021- Release v1.4.0.5.4.2

The team is feeling pretty good about the state of things after the patch from last week, but we know a handful of bugs and issues are still wandering out there in the wild. We have most of these documented (again, the best way to make sure your issue is seen is to file a Bug Report in the TCF Bug Section by pressing the button below!)






[h2]NINTENDO SWITCH[/h2]


In parallel, the team at DR is hard at work on the nuances required to get Terraria: Journey's End out on Nintendo Switch. The good news behind the scenes is that all of the fixes we just implemented for Xbox and PlayStation will be there on day one for Switch players - definitely a win-win there for everyone! Of course, we are sure you want to take a glimpse at what might be going on right? Well... here's a few snaps from recent testing - Moon Lord dying, his Bestiary Entry, and a bit of touch mining. (Before anyone asks, I like to play with as much space as possible, so I shunk/zoomed my UI pretty small - but this is all adjustable)








In terms of timing, we are starting to hone in on what things will look like. We are confident in that the game will be submitted to Nintendo this year. When or not we see a launch to players will really come down to the results of that submission process - amidst the complications of the impending Holidays. We want to be sure to get it out as quickly as possible to players, but also in a timeline that allows us to be able to quickly respond to any launch issues, as we did with Xbox and PlayStation. We expect to be able to share more detail on this very soon - but as always, we want to be 100% certain of things before giving dates. Stay tuned!



MOBILE - DR STUDIOS

Hello everyone!

Mobile Terrarians, we are growing ever-closer to a return to development - this time, alongside our Console friends! The team is eagerly anticipating jumping headlong into bringing content parity to all platforms in the new year, we just need to get Switch out and stable first. Not much longer now!


We have also been made aware of some issues impacting some players in regards to Android 11. The team will be looking into this shortly, and we will get any needed fixes out just as soon as possible!


[h2]TERRARIA: JOURNEY'S END MOBILE BUG REPORTS[/h2]


Thanks as always for the honor and trust you give us each month to work on Terraria - it is not a responsibility that we take lightly, and we look forward to bringing more amazing things to you all as we move forward.

[previewyoutube=WZM3Vl9yqyc;full][/previewyoutube]

A few weeks ago, preorders began for this amazing one-of-a-kind super high-end collectible resin statue from Animegami Studios! To be clear, this is a very high-end piece that is intended for the hardcore Terraria fan - and may not be for everyone. That said, our good friends at AGS have done what they can to enhance the affordability via an array of interest-free payment plans that spread out the cost over time.

Terraria State of the Game - September 2021



Greetings Terrarians!

Fall is nearly upon us, as 2021 turns towards its latter stages. We have always figured that the final few months of this year would be an intense and fantastic time for Terraria and Terrarians, and the reality is lining up with that quite well. From Xbox/PlayStation getting Journey's End in a week to ongoing work on Switch to a wide array of new merchandise items and much more - 2021 may be winding down, but Terraria is just getting started! We have a ton to go over this month, so let's jump right in!



PC - RE-LOGIC

[h2]PLAYING AROUND WITH STEAM DECK[/h2]



Recently, we were fortunate enough to receive one of the early waves of development hardware for Steam Deck. Terraria runs so well already on this amazing new platform, it is so customizable and opens the door for all new control schemes and more - in fact, the team is already looking for ways to further optimize the experience. This will take the form of a small upcoming PC update in order to optimize the controls, etc. in time for Steam Deck launch. We cannot wait for everyone to experience Terraria on Steam Deck - it really is a fantastic device for playing our game.



[h2]STEAM WORKSHOP NEWS[/h2]


Click the banner above to check out the Terraria Workshop!

The level of quality and quantity on the Terraria Steam Workshop just continues to climb - nearly 30,000 packs and worlds so far, which is just insane! If you have not checked out the Workshop yet, what are you waiting for?



[h2]TERRARIA WORKSHOP DEVELOPER'S CHOICE SELECTIONS[/h2]
As in the past, we are gathering up our possible selections that we will reveal in a future State of the Game!



[h2]WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?[/h2]

The team is taking a bit of a break from the Game Jams to work on the small Terraria PC update mentioned above in the Steam Deck news. We are looking forward to diving back into our latest Jam with both feet once we have that all squared away. It is a pretty cool second concept, and we are really enjoying how it is turning out.


So, for now, we will have to just continue to ask for your patience and trust in our process as we continue our own journey towards whatever lies ahead.



TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM



Hello everyone!

As we shared previously, the tModLoader 1.4 Alpha is out now - you can click the link below to find out more. Do keep in mind that this Alpha is primarily intended for developers as an audience - so play around with it at your own risk! :)

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1281930/discussions/0/3051733836205288319/


As always, you can keep track the current progress and such more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.)

Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)



PlayStation 4, XBOX ONE, Nintendo Switch - DR STUDIOS


[h2]XBOX & PLAYSTATION[/h2]


Greetings, Terrarians! One week ago, we revealed the launch date for Journey's End on PlayStation and Xbox - leaving us one week out from this amazing update being in your hands!


In case you missed it, Terraria: Journey's End is coming to PlayStation and Xbox on September 30th!


The team is eagerly anticipating the launch, and we hope that each and every one of you enjoy the fruits of our labors over the past several months. We have really enjoyed working on this update and thank you as always for entrusting us with the opportunity. It is not a responsibility that we take lightly!


Of course, the team will be on full alert and standby for any bugs or issues that arise at launch - so be sure to use the Bug Report process that we will share in the launch day post if you encounter any issues!



[h2]NINTENDO SWITCH[/h2]


The team is continuing to chip away at the extra work needed to bring Journey's End to Nintendo Switch! What all does that entail? Mostly it has to deal with the specific features and scenarios that the Switch presents. Things such as


UI differences - Docked vs Undocked, etc.
Further Performance Optimization
Touch Controls Optimization, including the hybrid control styles dictated by Switch
All of the specific platform-required stuff
etc.



We do not have a precise update on timing to give you just yet. Give us a bit longer to be sure that things continue to stay on track and on schedule - we certainly do not want to give you any timing estimates that we are not confident to hit! That said, as of today, everything is very much going well and remains on time.



MOBILE - DR STUDIOS

Hello everyone!

Hang in there, our Mobile friends - your time in the spotlight will come again soon enough. As you will see above, we are getting ever-closer to that console release, after which we will be entering the era of "Parity" where we are going to be pushing for a world where all Terrarians are on the same version.

We have also been made aware of some issues impacting some players in regards to Android 11. The team will be looking into this shortly, and we will get any needed fixes out just as soon as possible!


[h2]TERRARIA: JOURNEY'S END MOBILE BUG REPORTS[/h2]


Thanks as always for the honor and trust you give us each month to work on Terraria - it is not a responsibility that we take lightly, and we look forward to bringing more amazing things to you all as we move forward.

Our partners at Skyland are now hard at work with lining everything up to get these out to everyone in the near future. Once we have an update on a specific timeline for delivery, we will get that to you! For now, we would refer everyone here:

We are thrilled that 1.4 update is finally coming to PlayStation and Xbox! If you are not already involved in the Terraria community then join the official Terraria Discord server to recruit allies to join your world, discuss all things Terraria, participate in events with prizes, and so much more.

It's back to school time for those of you still in school - and for everyone else, its the dog days of Summer as we look forward to cooler temperatures of what will hopefully be an amazing Fall season. One thing we know for certain is that the last few months of 2021 will see a lot of exciting happenings for Terraria!

Game jams keep on jamming on! We finished up our first jam project and are off onto another very different experiment at this time. The entire process has been a lot of fun and immensely helpful towards exploring ideas, building skills, and improving on how we work together. All of these things will pay huge dividends down the road!

So, for now, we will have to just continue to ask for your patience and trust in our process as we continue our own journey towards whatever lies ahead.

Greetings, Terrarians! August 25th was yesterday, and what a day it was. Why, you ask? Well, yesterday we officially pressed the submission buttons for Terraria: Journey's End on PlayStation and Xbox! Now, we invite all of you to anxiously wait on Sony and Microsoft to complete their review process, after which we will be ready to turn this amazing update over to all of you!


We wish we could be more exact and give you a launch date. However, the review process is not all that predictable in terms of how long it takes, what might need to be addressed, etc. in each submission. Rest assured that when we hear something, we will let everyone know just as soon as we can.


This is the final stretch folks - thanks so much for your patience thus far!

[h2]TERRARIA MERCHANDISE STORE HUB [/h2]

As we have brought on more and more amazing merchandise partners over the last two years, it became apparent to us that we would need some sort of centralized "hub" from which Terrarians could easily see and browse all that is available. We have been working on this behind the scenes, and we are happy to share that our first version of this is now available on Terraria.org!



Click the banner above to head to Terraria.org/store now!

This will be your one-stop-shop where we will have all of the currently-active Terraria merchandise on display. If you see something that you like, simply click on the item and you will be whisked away to the storefront of whichever partner makes that particular product so that you can check out further details and complete your purchase.

Everything is laid out by category and easily navigated via the index and/or search. Please let us know any feedback that you might have so that we can make this experience the best that it can be!

We will be keeping this up to date and continuously adding to the offerings available here - so this is a page you will want to bookmark and check often!



TERRARIA MERCHANDISE UPDATES

We still have a handful of partnerships and products that remain under wraps, but that we will be revealing just as soon as the time is right - our plan is to have a LOT more out for the holidays.

[h2]SKYLAND ARTS LIMITED EDITION TERRARIA FIGURES - SERIES 1A PREORDERS UNDERWAY![/h2]



Our partners at Skyland Arts have at long last rolled out preorders for the first wave of Terraria Collectible Figures. Three figures are included in this first set: Dryad, Shadow Armor, and Eye of Cthulhu (with removable iris, to expose its second phase). Skyland does not have its own digital storefront, so they have decided to utilize Kickstarter as their preorder method. The up-front expenses have been paid, the tooling of the steel production molds has already begun, and the factory is ready to produce the figures. This pre-order campaign helps Skyland to judge how many of each figure to produce and ensures that every Terrarian gets the one that they want most!

To check out the purchase options and to place your order, click the link below or the figure images above to head on over to the Kickstarter page!

Terraria Collectible Figures Available for Preorder

Greetings Terrarians!

We wanted to share the awesome news that the first three Collectible Terraria figures that we have teased in past State of the Game posts are now available for preorder! These amazing pieces were developed by our partners at Skyland Arts, and are the first in what we hope will be several waves of figures that Terraria fans will love to get their hands on!

Skyland does not have its own digital storefront, so they have decided to utilize Kickstarter as their preorder method. The up-front expenses have been paid, the tooling of the steel production molds has already begun, and the factory is ready to produce the figures. This pre-order campaign helps Skyland to judge how many of each figure to produce and ensures that every Terrarian gets the one that they want most!

Without further ado, let's check out the lineup for this first wave of Terraria figures!


[h2]The Iconic Dryad[/h2]



[h2]Shadow Armor & Light's Bane[/h2]




[h2]The ominous Eye of Cthulhu - with removeable lens to reveal its toothy grin[/h2]

Again, these will be available for preorder on the Kickstarter page below for the next month or so. While these figures may appear at a later date at retailers, the only way to ensure that you get your hands on the figure(s) that you want is to get your preorder in now!

Terraria is Turning 10 Years Old - Join the Celebration!



Can you believe it, Terrarians? The game that we all know and love so much is about to reach its tenth birthday! No doubt, it has been a long and amazing journey that we have enjoyed taking with you - one full of twists and turns, ups and downs, and more than a few surprises along the way. Even crazier is that Terraria is stronger than ever as it heads into its second decade - with no end in sight!

We could not do it or be here without the amazing and passionate support of each and every one of you - so we want to formally invite you to join in on the Terraria Tenth Anniversary Celebration! What all do we have in store?

Check out the current slate of events below - and you will want to keep an eye on this page as we may have another surprise or two in store, you never know....



TERRARIA TENTH ANNIVERSARY SALE

From May 13th until May 17th, Terraria is half off on Steam! If you have been waiting all this time to try out this amazing 2D sandbox adventure, there is no better time than now. Become a part of the second decade of Terraria... or even bring along a friend or four.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/105600/Terraria/

Head on over to our Steam Store Page to pick up - or gift - a copy today!





Of course, you knew we couldn't resist playing an active role in this celebration! The entire Re-Logic team will be conducting an AMA on the r/Terraria Subreddit on May 17th, beginning at 10am Pacific Time. We will do our very best to have as many team members as possible answer each and every question (or at least the ones we have an answer for...). You will NOT want to miss out on this chance to ask the burning questions for the team.
[h2]
TERRARIA TENTH ANNIVERSARY AMA WITH RE-LOGIC
[/h2]
(When the event is live, the text above will be a link to the thread on Reddit)

On top of that, be on the lookout for Re-Logic team members hanging out in Discord in the Terraria-Chat channel over the next couple of weeks - we have encouraged everyone on the team to take some time out (as they can) to actively hang out and enjoy the festivities! The link to our Discord Server is below!

[h3]TERRARIA OFFICIAL DISCORD SERVER[/h3]





Its celebration time Terrarians!

Incredible to think that it has been 10 years since we set that initial version of Terraria out into the world. From humble beginnings to selling 35 Million copies across all platforms - it all started with a dream and some imagination.

Now its your turn to infuse Terraria with your own imagination. In honor of Terrarias tenth anniversary, were having a contest where you get to show off your own creativity and how you envision Terraria. There are categories for all Terrarians, whether you play on PC, Console, Mobile, or even our new Stadia players.

We have a category for Steam Workshop Maps and Texture Packs, a category for Art, a category for Screenshots featuring in-game builds, and even a category for Other - anything that doesn't fit into the first three categories. You can choose to enter any category you'd like, so get your ideas ready, join us to celebrate, and dive in!

[h2]This contest will start on Terraria's Tenth Anniversary (May 16, 2021)[/h2]
(when the contest is live, the banner above and the link above will take you to the contest page for more details)





We are currently working with a community artist on what we think will be an amazing - and amazingly fitting - work of art in celebration of Terraria turning ten. This will be revealed heading into the weekend of the anniversary itself. What will it be? Who is the artist? You will have to wait and find out!

Here is a hint - if you look at the art used in this Steam Event, you will see at least a snippet of this epic work of art. We will share the entire piece here once it is done!

(We are also working on a range of possibilities for everyone to be able to hang this amazing artwork on your walls, etc. - more on that as we have it)

Unleash Your Creativity- Terraria 1.4.2 & Steam Workshop Support Launches Today!




Greetings, Terrarians... and happy Terraria 1.4.2/Steam Workshop Support launch day!

That's right - at long last, we are able to provide an easy-to-use system and location for Terrarians everywhere to showcase their creative energies in all new ways. Starting today, everyone will be able to create, upload, share, download, and play a variety of types of game modifications within the vanilla Terraria game. Let's break down the new toys at your disposal!


NEW WAYS TO MODIFY THE CORE TERRARIA EXPERIENCE

WORLD UPLOADS



Have a really cool map that you want to share? The best Terraria golf course ever? Maybe an epic adventure map that would blow peoples' minds? This is your chance to share it with the world!



RESOURCE PACKS

Change how Terraria looks, sounds, and reads with custom Packs that can alter various aspects of the game. Resource Packs and alter one, two, or all three of the content types below:

[h2]Texture Packs[/h2]


What if the Zenith were a giant banana? That doesn't sound too apeeling to us, but maybe its your thing - this is your chance to change up one, two, or maybe even all of the sprites in Terraria!

[h2]Music Packs[/h2]
[previewyoutube=QP2jOBq8rUA;full][/previewyoutube]

Want to change things up with the in-game soundtrack? Import your custom tunes via this very cool-sounding feature.

[h2]Language Packs[/h2]


Feel like you could make a better translation - or a new one? Want to write your own custom dialogue for the NPCs? This is your lucky day!



Of course, if you want to take your modifications even further, impacting the core gameplay itself, you can take Terraria modding to the next level with the already-available tModLoader:



[h3]NOTE: TMODLOADER IS STILL RUNNING ON THE 1.3.5 VERSION OF TERRARIA. THE TML TEAM IS HARD AT WORK GETTING TMODLOADER UP TO THE 1.4 ERA. STAY TUNED FOR MORE ON THAT IN THE FUTURE![/h3]



THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO CONTENT CREATION AND USE FOR THE TERRARIA WORKSHOP

In order to help everyone learn how all of this works - both content users and content creators alike - our very own Leinfors hand-crafted the guide linked above. This is very comprehensive, covering every topic you could think of around how to get around and use these new features - both for Steam workshop and for our non-Steam players. We highly recommend that you check this out before getting started. This will always be linked at the top of our Steam Workshop Home Page as well via the "Learn More" Button.


These features are available to all PC Terrarians - whether you are on Steam or not - however, alongside these new toys comes Steam Workshop support for Terraria, giving players a place to showcase any amazing maps or Resource Packs that they have created for Terrarians everywhere to download and enjoy! Let's learn more, shall we?



STEAM WORKSHOP SUPPORT




That's right folks, we are embracing the wonders of Steam Workshop with this update in order to make Worlds and Resource Packs as accessible as possible to everyone. From within Terraria, you will be able to upload your creations to Workshop in order to share with other Terrarians everywhere!


Once a World or Resource Pack is uploaded to Terraria's Workshop, it will be there for other players to discover, subscribe to, and enjoy! Beyond that, using Workshop allows you to create and foster your own little community where you can discuss your creations and how they might be improved over time.

Features available on your Workshop page for each content item that you have uploaded include, but are not limited to:


  • A description page, which can be updated with a full description of your choosing
  • A dedicated discussion forum for your content
  • A comments page
  • A changelog page for updates you've made
  • A variety of metrics and rating system information for Workshop files
  • An option to change the name of the content (it uses the file name of the uploaded item by default)
  • Options to attach additional screenshots or even videos to demonstrate your content in action
  • A visibility toggle (the same as the visibility option you set when publishing)


Check out the new Terraria Steam Workshop by clicking the banner above - or by clicking the link below!

[h2]TERRARIA STEAM WORKSHOP[/h2]

In addition, you can now easily find the Workshop any time you want by heading to the Terraria page in your Steam Library, clicking on Community Hub, and then clicking on "Workshop" in the top menu within the Hub.






DEVELOPER'S CHOICE

The Re-Logic team is celebrating this release by putting out a couple of Texture Packs created by our own artists, Jimmarn and Lazure. You can find these located in the "Developer's Choice" section of the workshop, which is a special curated part of the Workshop where the Re-Logic team will be hand-picking Worlds and Resource Packs that we feel are the best of the best over time and tagging them with the Developer's Choice flag, placing them in this special section.



This is definitely an honor that we hope that everyone will strive for - and we cannot wait to see what you all will create!






STEAM WORKSHOP - GETTING AROUND

Let's take a few moments to show you around the new Workshop - and then we will close with a very comprehensive Guide to all things Terraria Workshop written by our very own @Leinfors!


[h2]HOME PAGE[/h2]

This is what it sounds like - the landing page for the Terraria Steam Workshop. You will find a few sections of interest here:


  • Top Bar navigation allows you to quickly move between Home Page - Items - Collections - Favorites/Subscribed Items - Discussions about Workshop
  • Below that, you will see two featured sections - one based on the most popular (most downloaded/rated) items and then another that is tied to the Developer's Choice section we mentioned above.
  • Right Sidebar (top) allows you to see your Workshop Files (content you have personally uploaded) as well as the most popular/top rated/most recent content
  • Right Sidebar (bottom) allows you to Browse all of the Terraria Workshop content via key terms/tags to help narrow your search. Note that on the home page, you can only select one tag, but on the Browse and other pages, you can select as many as you want to narrow down your search!
  • At the very bottom, you will see three tabbed lists for Most Popular, Most Subscribed, and Most Recent



[h2]BROWSE PAGE[/h2]
The Browse Page allows for you to do what it says... browse the available content items in the Terraria Workshop. Each listing is displayed in a grid complete with the name of the content, the author, and an average user rating (1-5 Stars). You can also check out your favorites list... your friends' favorites/content... and even follow your favorite content creators.

As mentioned on the homepage, you will see the list of tags on the right side so that you can narrow down your search. We will be listening to community suggestions to improve this starter list over time as well.



Once you find and click on something that you might be interested in, you will be whisked away to the...

[h2]WORKSHOP CONTENT PAGE[/h2]
Once again, this is precisely what it sounds like - the place where you can find out all there is to know about a specific piece of content prior to downloading.



Most of what is here is pretty self-explanatory. However, let's run it down:


  • Image pane shows the feature image the creator chose as well as any other screenshots, etc.
  • Upper right shows the file size as well as creation date and any updates. You can also view any changelogs the author has shared here.
  • Below the image pane, you can give the content a thumbs up/down, favorite/share, award it (Steam Points), add to a collection, or report it (the little Flag icon)
  • Please familiarize yourself with the rules of what is and is not acceptable on Steam workshop
  • Vulgar, offensive, etc. content will be removed. As will any reported content that violates any legal issues/copyrights/etc.
  • Finally, we have the big green SUBSCRIBE button. Clicking this will allow you to download the content as well as sign you up for any future updates to this content.



Down below, you can leave comments on the content and interact with the author/creator.


Lots to go over there, to be sure - but those are the basics. There is really so much to know and learn here about how to create and use Workshop content on Terraria, we highly recommend that you check out Leinfors ' Guide linked below.
[h2]
THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO CONTENT CREATION AND USE FOR THE TERRARIA WORKSHOP
[/h2]



OTHER CHANGES IN THIS UPDATE

Other than the new customization features and Workshop support, we did have the time to squash a few more bugs within the core Terraria experience. That comprehensive list is shared below. Hopefully your "favorite" bug is there and will no longer haunt you. As always, if you run into any issues, please report them via the link below!

  • Expanded Resource Pack Functionality to include Language Replacement and Music Replacement
  • Added a button to the Research and Bestiary Menus that lets you delete all current search text
  • Enemy Banners now also give increased player protection against enemy projectiles (previously they only applied to contact damage)

Now we need your help to finish making this a reality by getting your votes in now for Terraria to win the 2020 Labor of Love Award!

Rounding Out the Journey: Terraria 1.4.1 is Here!

">

Greetings, Terrarians! Terraria 1.4.1 releases today for our PC players!

Welcome to launch day for Terraria 1.4.1 on PC! As we have alluded to in previous news items and spoilers around this update, Terraria 1.4.1 is primarily focused on adding in pieces that were not quite ready in time for the Journey's End launch date - along with more fixes, balance tweaks, and a few new tidbits that we decided to add along the way. Located below, you will find the full changelog for Terraria 1.4.1

A SUMMARY OF TERRARIA 1.4.1(OFFICIAL CHANGELOG)

So, what all does Terraria 1.4.1 contain? Here are some of the bigger topline tidbits of note - but again, refer to the full changelog for a more complete accounting of things.




[h2]VANITY CONTEST WINNER SETS[/h2]

[previewyoutube=FtUrljrk8FI;full][/previewyoutube]

As promised, we have added the winning Vanity Sets from the Journey's End Vanity Design Contest! These turned out really well, and we are beyond excited to see these in game. Be sure to once again congratulate the winners and thank them for making such awesome designs possible!

- Plaguebringer
- Wandering Ronin
- The Timeless Traveler
- Floret Protector
- Capricorn
- Bonus winner: TV Head!


All six of these are craftable with pre-Hardmode materials of various sorts, so that all players can experience these awesome vanity sets! Thanks to everyone who participated and voted in the Vanity contest, and especially to our winners!


[h2]CREDITS[/h2]




Who made all of this anyway? At long last, Terraria on PC has it's own credits! Upon defeating the Moon Lord for the first time, be sure to stay tuned for an awesome throwback credit sequence, including an exclusive never-before-heard music track! Want to see it again? You can access the Credits from the main menu at any time.


The Music Box (Journey's End) is now created by recording the Credits music sequence. Additionally, using it in a normal accessory slot will play the Credits sequence in-game, while using it in a social slot will only play the music.




[h2]NEW NPC - THE PRINCESS[/h2]



How will you discover and unlock this regal companion? What does she do? You will have to explore and find out on your own!




[h2]NEW ACHIEVEMENTS[/h2]



Who doesn't like Achievements, right? Updated for the Journey's End era, we have included a handful of new goals for you to chase down!



[h2]NEW ITEMS[/h2]



We have included a handful of new items - with several focused on filling out the early/pre-hardmode Summoner options. We are personally fans of the new Flinx-based Summoner gear.



[h2]VANITY OVERHAUL[/h2]

Vanity Overhaul? What exactly do we mean here? Well - the way armors and vanity sets used to work was a bit limiting, particularly in regards to the way "back" items worked. So, we made it better! For just one example: why pick between showing Wings or a Cape, for example, when you can have both!


Armors and vanity items which draw on the back (backpacks, tails, wings, and capes) are now no longer mutually exclusive. This means that you can now have one of any of those four categories all displaying at the same time. Previously, only one of those could ever be visible at a time (for instance, if you had visible wings, you could not ever see a cape, backpack, or tail).

Here is a visual explaining what we mean:




Prior to Terraria 1.4.1: The use of visible wings prevented capes from being visible, while the use of capes prevented shields from being visible.



In 1.4.1, these elements no longer conflict with each other, and can be used together in various combinations

There are even more overhauls to the vanity system to explore, so be sure to check out the full changelog for all the juicy details!


[h2]
QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGES
[/h2]

Beyond Bug Fixes, we always want to try and enhance the user experience as much as possible. Here are just a few of the ways we have explored doing so in Terraria 1.4.1:


  • The Journey Mode duplication menu has been overhauled, with the addition of several new filters to break up some of the larger categories
  • Additionally, the Misc option in the duplication menu should more properly encompass items that do not fall under any other category
  • Torch God now plays an Otherworldly track when that setting is toggled
  • Bestiary now indicates if a drop is Wave-based/if it only drops after a certain wave in Frost Moon and Pumpkin Moon
  • Plantero's Sombrero has made its triumphant return
  • Reorganized menu settings for resolution/fullscreen/windowed borderless to all use the same sub-menu, to reduce confusion
  • Updated FNA (Mac/Linux related)
  • RGB support is now available for SteelSeries game peripherals
  • Updated localization for all languages up to 1.4 (some 1.4.1 content may still be untranslated, and these translations will come in an upcoming hotfix)



[h2]
BALANCE CHANGES
[/h2]


As you likely are aware, Terraria: Journey's End contained a ton of changes to balance across the entire progression of the game. As with any changes of this nature, everyone had thoughts and feedback. We invited everyone to weigh in on this robust discussion in our Official Balance/Feedback Thread on Terraria Community Forums - and you did not disappoint! With that feedback in hand - along with our own post-launch thoughts - we have made even more balance changes that we hope will bring things ever-closer to feeling "just right" for most folks. A little bit of everything has been impacted here, so we really encourage you to read up before you are surprised! :)

With Great Power Comes Great Accessibility - Introducing Journey Mode

Greetings, Terrarians!

The massive and highly-anticipated Journey's End update for Terraria is nearly here... only 10 days to go!

Today's Feature Article is one that we have been looking forward to for quite some time, as we will be giving you a first glimpse into the brand new Journey Mode. The goal of Journey Mode is to provide a more accessible experience by providing the player unprecedented control over the gameplay experience. A way to bring in all players of various skill levels and to be able to customize your experience to optimize the fun you have in game. This is not Creative Mode, this is a whole new way to experience Terraria - and one we feel represents the ultimate evolution of being able to play your Terraria any way that you want.

What does all of this mean? How does it all work? Let's dive into just the high level here... but if you want the full details, complete with a lot of fun images, check out the announcement thread over on TCF, linked below:

JOURNEY MODE FEATURE ARTICLE ON TERRARIA COMMUNITY FORUMS


----

For starters, the only rule of Journey Mode is that Journey Mode Characters can only play on Journey Mode Worlds and vice versa - no exceptions!



ENHANCED STARTER GEAR
Every Journey begins with that first step, but of course, every smart traveler packs the right gear before heading out. In Journey Mode, you will begin your adventure with an enhanced starter gear package, which includes:


  • Iron Shortsword
  • Iron Axe
  • Iron Pickaxe
  • Iron Hammer
  • Finch Staff (a bird that is happy to sit on your head when it isn't attacking your foes)
  • 100 Torches
  • 100 Rope
  • Magic Mirror
  • Starter Wings (very limited flight, removes fall damage)



Of course, you are free to use as much - or as little - of this gear as you choose. As you will hear us say over and over in regards to Journey Mode - the choices are all yours! Take as much or as little help as you need. You can even make things harder on yourself if you so choose, but more on that later

---

WELCOME TO TERRARIA LABORATORIES - THE FUTURE OF R & D

R&D? What in the world are we talking about? Welcome to the wide, wide world of Terraria R&D: Research & Duplication.

R&D is going to quickly become your best friend - and latest obsession - during your adventures in Journey Mode. How does it all work? Why, it is so easy, the Guide could do it!

[h2]RESEARCH[/h2]
Once you complete your Research on any item in the game, you will unlock the power to Duplicate it at will. Let's pause a second to let that sink in. Ok, are you back with us? Let's continue along our tour.

Researching an item is pretty straight forward - start by opening up your inventory and clicking on Benny the Construction Bunny. This hardhat-wearing friendly critter is your gateway to the immense powers bestowed upon you in Journey Mode.


[h2]DUPLICATION[/h2]
Clicking the icon for any item appearing in the Duplication Menu will instantly spawn a full stack of that item (materials, blocks, etc.) or a single duplicate of things like Weapons/Armor/Accessories. Anything you can Duplicate is yours to use as you see fit. Again, this is a power you can choose to utilize - or not. As we keep saying, Journey Mode is about you playing your way!

So just how powerful does this get? Aren't there over 5.000 items now? How in the world can I keep track of all of that?! With a fully searchable interface along with filter tabs, you will be able to quickly find what you are looking to recreate!


R&D works in Multiplayer sessions as well! Work together as a team to help your partners keep up! Share gear (or don't!) - make sure that everyone gets that early Magic Mirror or epic boss drop. What you and your friends decide to do with all this power is entirely up to you!

---

THE POWER TO MANIPULATE YOUR WORLD - CONTROL WEATHER & TIME ITSELF

You ever have those days in Terraria where it seems to have become monsoon season and the rain never stops? How about those times when you are ready to challenge Skeletron but you look up and it is 6:59am in game? What if you just wanted to engage in a bit of kite-flying, but the wind isn't cooperating? Once again, Journey Mode has the answers to all of these problems and more

The weather has become a bigger and bigger part of the Terraria experience over time - and 1.4 takes that to the next level, with new wind effects and storms to add to the already-robust environmental effects. That being the case, it only makes sense that Journey Mode gives you the power to control the very weather itself!

What if I told you that you could jump ahead in time, accelerate it's passing, and even freeze it altogether - and that you would not even need a single gigawatt to do so? Sounds like a pipe dream? Well keep dreaming, folks, because with Journey Mode, that is precisely what you can do!

---

CREATING A CHALLENGE WORTHY OF YOUR SKILLS - REAL-TIME DIFFICULTY AND SPAWN RATES


In the past, Terrarians were forced to select their level of difficulty at the World Creation screen. While this is certainly still the case in the normal game modes, Journey Mode once again breaks the mold and allows players to create a challenge tailored to their skill level - and to adjust it back up or down as they see fit, with real-time results.

What does this all mean? Well, this means that the challenge level in Journey Mode is in your hands - from an easy no-enemy jaunt through the countryside to a murderous gauntlet full with hordes of Master Mode enemies, once again, the choice belongs to you. With Journey Mode you can create both the easiest and the most difficult experiences that Terraria has to offer.

For this power, you have two levers to pull. Difficulty - which will impact everyone you are playing with (in multiplayer) - and Spawn Rate, which will only impact the area around your character. With Spawn Rate, everyone can have their own mini-challenge slider even though the difficulty level is the same for everyone.

----

ROUNDING OUT JOURNEY MODE - ADDITIONAL POWERS


There are a small handful of additional powers that we would be remiss to not mention - and we are pretty sure these will be fan favorites! Two of these are player-based powers, while one of them impacts the world itself.

Godmode - Also sometimes known as Kidmode... a nice set of training wheels to help new or younger players learn the game (don't worry, we won't tell anyone when you use it on yourself to get over the tougher challenges)

Infection Spread - Don't want it? Then you don't have to have it

Increased Placement Range - Ok, sure, but just how big of a difference does this make? A lot, trust us.

Whew, so you made it to the end of our journey into Journey Mode. We are sure your minds are swimming with the ideas and possibilities right now. Let's close out with some thoughts from a dedicated community content creator and influencer. Someone whom has never failed to cover and provide his thoughts on the big news in the world of Terraria. Of course, we speak of none other than ChippyGaming - so without further ado, we are happy to share his advance-view thoughts on Journey Mode!

tModLoader to Launch as Free DLC for Terraria with Journey's End!

Greetings, Terrarians!

We are just shy of three weeks out from the highly-anticipated release of Terraria: Journey's End, and we know that as the anticipation builds, so will the excitement! Well, allow us to add more fuel to that fire with the official announcement that the long-standing "Terraria mod to make and play mods", tModLoader will be coming to Steam on May 16th as a free DLC for Terraria alongside Journey's End!



Though fully-integrated official mod support is not something that is feasible within the Terraria codebase, tModLoader has served faithfully as that "bridge" between the main game and the amazing library of player-created mods that exists for Terraria. With this launch, modding has never been more visible or accessible for Terrarians - so, if you have not ever tried out modded Terraria, there is no time like the present!

The launch version of TML for Steam will be based on the 1.3.5 version of the game - as will all of the currently-available mods out there. This will allow for players to continue to enjoy modded Terraria uninterrupted while they can also separately dive into all that Journey's End/1.4 has to offer on the vanilla side of the fence. The TML Team will be working diligently to get a 1.4-tier TML out as quickly as possible on Steam so that, as mods are updated to the 1.4 standard, support for them will already be available.



[h3]Always remember that playing with mods is at your own risk, etc. Neither Re-Logic nor the TML Team can vouch for the quality and/or functionality of each and every mod. If you are having issues with any specific mod, the best way to sort that out is to get in touch with the team behind that specific mod![/h3]


Future plans also include the addition of Steam Workshop support underneath the TML banner, allowing mod creators to upload and host their mods on Steam for the first time. This will take the accessibility and visibility of these amazing community creations to yet another level.

The Re-Logic team felt strongly that with Journey's End being the final major content update to Terraria, there was no better way to tie things off than to hand the keys over to the fans. With tModLoader and a stable foundation to work from in 1.4, modders are now free to explore any number of ways that the game might be interpreted or experienced. We cannot wait to see where you take this wonderful world that we have created!

Check out the Steam Page for tModLoader below - make sure you wishlist this so that you will know the instant it is released!

Terraria: Journey's End Vanity Contest Finalists Voting

First of all, a big thank you to everyone that entered our Journey's End Vanity Contest! We were blown away by both the sheer volume (THOUSANDS :eek: ) and the overwhelming quality of what you all produced. Simply stunning, but not really surprising, because we know how awesomely creative you all are, right? :)

Seriously, if you have not checked out the awesomeness that is the Submissions Thread... you really should do so right now! (https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/journeys-end-vanity-contest-submission-thread.86457/)

The Re-Logic team has at long last completed the arduous task of going over every entry (yes, we did look at every. single. one.), and we are ready to reveal our choices for the 25 Journey's End Vanity Contest Finalists! Our criteria were focused on how cool we found the concept, how well we felt it could be executed on by our team, and how well we felt it would fit into Terraria. Note that for some concepts, multiple people may have had a similar idea. For these, the idea that best communicated the concept and/or stood out as being the most unique to the team was selected.

You will find these detailed entries over at Terraria Community Forums > https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/journeys-end-vanity-contest-finalists-voting-instructions.87511/



[h2]
TERRARIA: JOURNEY'S END VANITY CONTEST VOTING
[/h2]

In order to involve as many of the various arms of the Terraria Community as possible, we will be utilizing a centralized voting method that is not tied to any one aspect of the Community. Voting will all be done via the Google Forms link posted below. Before we get there, a few things to point out.

https://forms.gle/dqB3QE3rR47MbMUo8


  • In order to limit the possibility of "ballot stuffing" (aka voting over and over again), you will be required to sign into a Google account in order to vote.
  • We figure this is as innocuous of a thing to ask as anything, since most folks either have a Google account or could make one easily
  • You will be asked to vote for a first, second, and third place entry - each entry will have an image, name, and the creator's name clearly listed.
  • If you so desire, you may vote for the same entry in all three places.
  • The order in which the finalists will appear is randomized for each voter, to avoid bias.


[h2]ALL VOTES MUST BE CAST BY MIDNIGHT EST ON APRIL 24, 2020[/h2]

That's pretty much it folks - sign into Google, vote, and then see how it all shakes out! Tell your friends and family - don't let your favorite be left out!

Terraria: Journey's End Launches on May 16, 2020!

Greetings Terrarians!

We mentioned last week over on the Terraria Community Forums that, given the tough situations that we are all facing in the world right now, we are pushing harder than ever to get Journey's End out to you as soon as possible.

Well, today we are here to share a little bit more detail behind those plans, and what better way to do that than to share with you our planned launch date...

Terraria Reaches 30 Million Copies Sold - 50% off Sale in Celebration!

Greetings Terrarians!

We wanted to take a moment out of our final push to complete the eagerly-anticipated Journey's End update and celebrate a little something with our loyal and awesome community.

Terraria has officially reached the epic milestone of having sold 30 Million copies across all platforms!

Some fun details:


  • 14 Million sold on PC
  • 7.6 Million sold on Consoles
  • 8.7 Million sold on Mobile devices


What is even more crazy is that the momentum behind our game remains as strong as it has ever been - even in advance of Journey's End arriving soon, which is sure to blow the lid off once again!

To say that this floors all of us in regards to the sheer level of support and love you have shown us over the years is a massive understatement. We can only hope to return the favor by continuing to provide amazing gaming experiences for years to come (whether it be on Terraria or future games that we create).

[h3]In order to celebrate the occasion, we are having a 50% off sale for Terraria this week - that's right, from now until April 3rd @ 10am Pacific, Terraria and the Terraria Official Soundtrack are half-off![/h3]

So if you haven't tried Terraria yet - or you have a buddy that hasn't - what better time than to dive in head-first to see what all of the fuss is about?

[h2]From the bottom of our hearts - THANK YOU TERRARIANS! You are what makes this so much fun and what drives us to do great things each and every day. [/h2]

Terraria: Journey's End Vanity Contest

Greetings Terrarians!


The development team at Re-Logic were having a chat the other day about just how creative the Terraria community is - from art to music to in-game creations, you all are simply amazing. That got us to thinking... what better way to reward that creativity in the final Journey's End update than to give all of you creative geniuses a once-in-a-lifetime chance to get your very own vanity armor design into the game itself?

That's right - we are giving everyone a chance to submit their own original ideas for Terraria Vanity Armor/Outfits (Head/Torso/Legs), and the winners will see their ideas make it into the game for the Journey's End update! This is your chance to design your own brand new vanity outfit that you'd like to see added to the game! This is sort of like finding that golden ticket and getting to visit the chocolate factory, except there is no tour and no lifetime supply of chocolate... only fame and glory and bragging rights forever listed in one of the best video games ever crafted.

As you might imagine, there are some rules and guidelines and such that are important for you to follow - however, inside of these guidelines, have at it! Anything your minds can dream up, we want to hear about it! You can also check out the Contest Submission Thread to see current submissions!



GUIDELINES & RULES


[h2]WHAT IS ALLOWED/NOT ALLOWED?[/h2]

  • Only one submission per person! If you make multiple submissions, we will select the first submission made, and the latter ones will be disqualified.
  • All Vanity entries must be the original work of the person submitting the idea - no stealing! (yes, we will look -_-)
  • Sprites from Terraria mods *ARE* allowed but only if you are the original creator of that artwork (this means the actual artist, not just anyone that happened to work on a given mod)
  • Direct lifts/overt references to other games/movies/tv shows/etc. are quite likely to be rejected (if we have to ask permission to use it, don't submit it ;) )
  • Please keep it PG-13 - nothing profane/offensive/etc. please
  • If you are looking for more guidance and next-level design tips, check out this link > Terraria Vanity Contest Best Practices & Design Tips



[h2]HOW DO I SUBMIT MY ENTRY?[/h2]
  • Entries should consist of a design that includes Head/Torso/Leg (aligned to those vanity armor slots in the game). We will not be including wings/dyes/weapons/etc. Sorry.
  • All entries must include artwork of some kind. This could mean anything from super-fancy hand drawn art to MS Paint-level scribbles. However, the art - and any accompanying descriptions - need to be able to clearly communicate the idea. If we have to struggle to understand the concept, it will hurt your chances of winning... and trying to guess art from just text is going to give all of us headaches.
  • If you have a name for your creation, please provide it.
  • Entries should be submitted by posting in the Contest Submission Thread! Entries MUST be posted in the submission thread to be considered valid submissions! If you want to discuss the contest or specific entries, feel free to do so in this thread, over on the TCF main contest thread, on Discord, etc.
  • All entries must be submitted by 11:59pm Eastern Time on April 13th, 2020 - NO EXCEPTIONS!




[h2]HOW WILL THE WINNERS BE SELECTED?[/h2]
  • The Re-Logic team will select a list of finalists from all of the entries that are submitted by 11:59pm Eastern on April 13, 2020. If this thread is locked, you are too late!
  • We will reveal the finalists on the Weekly Stream later that week (April 17th) , and then we will post them here after the stream.
  • These finalists will be submitted for a community vote across all of our community platforms (TCF, Social Media, Discord, etc) - voting will commence after the reveal stream and conclude in one week, on April 24th. Voting instructions will be provided at that time.
  • There will be no more than three (3) winning entries.



[h2]HECK YEAH, I WON! NOW WHAT?[/h2]
  • Re-Logic will directly contact the winners so that we can begin the process of adding your design into the game.
  • Please note that some creative license in regards to the interpretation on behalf of our artists is expected - so be flexible. (don't worry, we will make it amazing)
  • Re-Logic will have the final say on approval for the winning designs (actual art and text going in-game)
  • The winner's name will be included in some way in the tooltip and/or naming for the item, so that you can always pull it up in game to brag to your buddies. :cool:
  • Once we arrive on a final design, just wait for the day when Journey's End arrives and you can run around in your very own vanity creation!



[h2]LEGAL STUFF[/h2]
  • By participating in the contest, you agree to relinquish all rights to your vanity design to Re-Logic for inclusion into the game. Winners will be required to sign a document to that effect.
  • If you are under the legal age to sign legal documents in your country (eg. Under 18 in most countries), you will need your parent or guardian to sign as well - so be sure to get that permission in advance! :)

Re-Logic Announces Terraria: Journey's End

Good day Terrarians!

As you hopefully noticed, we had some pretty big news to share at E3 this week! During the PC Gaming Show, we revealed live to the world that the in-development 1.3.6 update is no more... the next update to Terraria will in fact be the fourth major update we have developed for the game, which we are calling Terraria: Journey's End!

For those that were unable to watch the reveal live, we have shared the teaser trailer below - along with some key details and a bit of what we expect will be your FAQ. As we always do, we have left out a ton of juicy details and other content and features that will be included with Terraria: Journey's End. Some of those have or might be spoiled between now and launch, but others will remain a secret until you have the update in your hands later this year. So, without further ado... we present to you Terraria: Journey's End!

.and thats just what we have in so far the team is going to remain hard at work over the next several months to not only perfect what we have in and planned now, but to also add in a handful of other surprises and features that we will share with everyone in the coming months. Stay tuned and watch our official Forums/Discord/Twitter/Instagram/Facebook for regular spoilers and reveals in the run-up to the launch of Terraria: Journeys End!

TERRARIA: JOURNEY'S END FAQ

Q: So, is Journey's End the same as Terraria 1.4?
A: Yes! This is the fourth major update to the game, continuing in the tradition of 1.1-1.2-1.3

Q: Will Journey's End cost extra?
A: For owners of Terraria on PC (Steam/GOG/Etc), Journey's End will be a free update - this continues our long-standing tradition of providing substantial free content to our fans.

Q: Will Journey's End come to Consoles? Mobile? Switch?

A: Eventually, yes - but likely not at the exact same time.

Q: When will Journey's End release?
A: We expect to have this update out prior to the end of the year. However, as we always say... it will be ready when it is ready.

Q: What happened to 1.3.6?
A: As we got further and further into development, we started to realize that 1.3.6 was reaching a tipping point... one where if we decided to add in a handful of big ideas we have had for some time, it would really feel worthy of a 1.X tier update.

Q: Why call it Journey's End instead of 1.4?

A: Our current plan is for this to be the crowning update to Terraria. We do not currently have any plans to tackle additional updates, outside of fixes and maybe a few tidbits here and there to shore things up.

Q: So, what does that mean for Terraria? Re-Logic?
A: Terraria will remain the vibrant and amazing game that it always has been! There is plenty more coming down the road for Console/Switch/Mobile (including some things we have not revealed just yet), and with the available mods - plus any future mods - on top of what is a VERY robust core game, we are confident Terraria will be trucking along for many, many years to come. Of course, we will stay involved with all of you - you make this possible, and we always enjoy hanging out.

For Re-Logic, this means that we will finally be tackling our second title. We do not yet know what this will be - and it may not even be a Terraria title - so expect a time of silence from us on that front until we are ready to share more what we decide to pursue.


Q: You said the spoilers and trailer don't show everything in Journey's End. What else can we expect?
A: From additional content to some really cool features, we only wanted to share some selected things at this point (plus there is only so much we can pack into a 90 second video!). We have spoiled more in the previous months and will continue to do so as we head to launch. As always, we will leave some surprises in there for you to discover on your own!

1.3.5 is Live!

Hello Terrarians!

The dev team has been hard at work! We are excited to introduce new and improved language support/translations, 4K support, UI scale and zoom options, new furniture, a couple of armor sets, and more! This update represents one part of the team's vision for what we have called 1.3.5 to this point, and is focused on polishing and fixing up some issues that have needed addressing as well as bringing some long-requested features to the game. Admittedly, it is a bit light on "more content", however, we wanted to go ahead and get these ready-to-go features out to players now rather than making everyone wait until all of the other stuff is completed.

The other part of this update will be focused on a list of things that the team feels needs a fresh look (rebalancing/tweaking/polishing) as well as some areas that we feel were overlooked or forgotten when we were working on the past several updates. This will provide a solid foundation from which we can execute our other secret Terraria update plans - and we are pretty sure you will find those exciting!

For now, enjoy these handful of goodies (especially our non-English speaking fans), look forward to a second round to come... and towards even bigger things down the road.

1.3.4 is LIVE!

.3.4, is now live! This update opens a portal in Terraria and brings Dungeon Defenders 2 content, including a new NPC, an event, weapons, vanity, and more! We've also introduced the ability to toggle on/off the visual effects and new water visuals. You can check out the complete changelog below for a complete list of additions and new features.

The Re-Logic team had an incredible time working with our new friends at Trendy Entertainment as part of this Terraria/Dungeon Defenders II cross-over. We are so excited to see the Dryad continue her journey in Etheria, and would like to thank the Trendy team for the amazing work they did bringing the Terraria creatures and Dryad to life in 3D! On our side, the opportunity to touch on Tower Defense style gameplay and the invaluable inspiration we got from DD2 was essential to our teams (and Terraria's) growth. If you'd like to check out more about the DD2 side of the update, visit https://dungeondefenders.com/2/blog/141405/the-terraria-crossover-is-here

As always, this content is absolutely free to anyone who already owns Terraria on Steam.

Changelog:

Features

- Dungeon Defenders 2 Cross-Over Invasion
Invasion event featuring enemies, weapons, and gameplay mechanics inspired by Etheria - the Dungeon Defenders 2 universe
This event will play like no other in Terraria - featuring a brand new mechanic where you protect an artifact from invading enemies with the help of a unique defensive structure system
Multi-tiered event allows players at multiple points in the game to experience scaling difficulty, with corresponding loot
Enjoy rewards in the form of armor, weapons, pets and more, all straight from the Dungeon Defenders 2 universe!
- The Tavernkeep, a new NPC from the Dungeon Defenders universe, has arrived. He will be offering a variety of Etherian loot and gear in exchange for an exclusive currency earned by playing the new invasion!
- Completely redesigned liquid visuals. Enjoy the ripples and waves, as the player, enemies, and projectiles now have a visible impact when they enter and move through water
- The Blizzard weather event now has a new, unique ambient sound when active
- Toggles for recently-added visual and water effects that will allow players to balance beautiful visuals and performance to fit their preferences
- A new ability for Summoner players to direct their minions to attack a specific target
- An experimental new world seed feature (This will be inactive by default, see below in the Changes section for more details)


New Items

- Four new sentry summons, each of which has three tiers of potency
- Ten new weapons
- Eight new armor sets
- Five new accessories
- Two new pets
- One new light pet
- Three new boss masks and trophies
- Two new decorate furniture items
- One brand new “Personal Safe” style furniture item, in the style of the Piggy -Bank and Safe
- A brand new currency which can be spent with the Tavernkeep for much of the above


New Enemies

- Ten new enemies, many of which can become visibly (and mechanically) more powerful as gameplay progresses
- Two new invasion style mini-bosses
One new boss


Other

- One new soundtrack based on the Dungeon Defenders 2 OST, complete with a matching Music Box
- Over 200 new sound effects inspired and adapted from Dungeon Defenders 2


Changes

- The way Sentry Summons function has been changed somewhat.
- Outside of the DD2 Invasion event, you now have a limit of one sentry summon at a time
- Some of the 1.3.4 content can increase this limit
- Unlike before, when the sentry limit is above 1, you can summon multiple versions of the same sentry. For instance, with a sentry limit of 3, you could summon 3 Frost Hydras at the same time.
- Summoners can now direct their minions to attack a specific target of their choosing. To do this, the summoner must Right Click over an enemy while holding a minion summoning staff. Minions with line of sight on that enemy will target it immediately. However, if the minions do not have line of sight, they will continue to attack targets at random.
- We’ve added an experimental new seed feature to World generation. All worlds generated in 1.3.4 and beyond will have a seed attached to them. You will also be able to set the seed for a world on world generation. PLEASE *NOTE that this feature is not active by default. To activate it, please follow these steps:
1. Find Terraria’s config.json file. On Windows, this should be found in Documents>My Games>Terraria.
2. Open the config file with a basic text editing program, such as Notepad.
3. The 12th line in the config file is labeled "UseExperimentalFeatures" and will be set to "false”".
4. Simply change this to “true” and save the config.json file. The next time you launch Terraria, the option to view and set world seeds will appear.
Please be aware that this is NOT a retroactive feature, and cannot display the seeds for worlds created before 1.3.4, as the data is simply not stored there. Additionally, you must run launch Terraria in 1.3.4 before the option will appear in the config file.
It no longer rains in the space biome.


Bug Fixes

-Fix for AMD Graphics Card related issue involving Living Flame Dye.
-Fixed edges of screen getting inverted colors during a blizzard

It Has Begun! - Terraria 1.3 Launches Today!

Happy Terraria 1.3 Launch Day everyone!!!

It has been a long road - one full of sleepless nights and tiring nights, laughter and tears, successes and setbacks - but the time has finally come for us to turn our labor of love for the past year or so over to you, our loyal fans. Terraria 1.3 touches on many aspects of the game - from re-imagined sprites and backgrounds to new features and - of course - the new content that you crave - that we truly feel it refreshes and revitalizes the entire Terraria experience. We are confident that you will enjoy what it has to offer!

Perhaps most exciting to the team are the ways in which Terraria 1.3 streamlines the multiplayer experience. Gone are the days of port-forwarding and endless IP sharing for anyone seeking to connect quickly with their friends for an ore-hunting session or to team of up that tough boss fight. We have always felt Terraria was best with a buddy (or ten) - so if you haven't yet, now is an opportune time to try out multiplayer! (Do note that dedicated servers will still need to use the standalone server software, which you can download HERE).

Well, enough "memory lane" from us - on to what you came for: the specifics of the launch!

---

Timing: Terraria 1.3 is expected to be available around 1pm EDT today (June 30, 2015)


SPECIAL TERRARIA 1.3 LAUNCH DISCOUNT
We will be running a two day launch promotion in honor of the launch - Terraria will be 25% off ($7.50) today and tomorrow - starting when 1.3 launches at 1pm Eastern! If you are looking to pull in a new Terrarian with whom you can play multiplayer - this would be a good time to leverage those savings.


[b]Terraria 1.3 Changelog: Click HERE

Please note that Re-Logic makes no promises as to the completeness of this changelog. It's a game about exploration - go explore!

Want to share your feedback about the 1.3 Update:


Have a Terraria 1.3 Bug to Report (please give as much information as possible):


---[/b]

So, what now? Now you go play what we have worked so tirelessly on all these many months while we sit back and await your feedback. Who knows, we may spend some time hanging around in streams or just chatting with you guys.

What's next? Well, besides any needed hotfixes, we take a deep relaxing breath before we launch headlong into our next projects - for Terraria, Terraria: Otherworld, and beyond!

Thanks - as always - for your passionate support for our game, our team, and our vision as a game developer. This community is truly special, and we cannot wait to continue bringing you amazing gaming experiences in the months and years to come!

Enjoy!
