Terraria State of the Game - October 2024
The team has been making some amazing progress on the "lists" we mentioned in September's State of the Game. There is still quite a bit to get done (and test and fix, etc), but we remain committed to never cutting any corners. Ultimately, updates will take the time they need to be done right - that mantra of "it's ready when it's ready" has served us, the game, and the community right for 13 years and counting after all! As for what that means for timing and whatnot, we cannot really say just yet. That said, we will be sure to keep everyone informed here in the SOTG as well as elsewhere when the time is right. Thank you for your patience and your support!

Hello everyone! The tModLoader team and our amazing community of contributors continues to improve tModLoader. On November 1st the monthly update release of tModLoader will go live. Once again this month's release contains many improvements to the user experience, some gameplay bug fixes, as well as new features with examples and documentation for mod makers. We'd like to remind modders about the preview branch where we test new features before they arrive in stable the following month. Modders interested in new these features, listed both on our GitHub and in the #preview-update-log of our Discord, can join the preview branch to get early access to the new features and test them in their mods. We really appreciate the feedback from modders using the preview branch to try out the new features. One feature we are currently previewing is additional support for modded tiles that react to wind and player movement, as some vanilla tiles do. Modders on the preview branch can test it out and make sure it works correctly for chandeliers, banners, vines, and other similar tiles. 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 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.

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)
The Console/Mobile team has once again had a productive month. We have been adding the 1.4.5 update content in parallel with PC, further refining the control button changes we mentioned last time, and we put out a recent technical build on mobile that helps bring the backend up to speed with first party platforms - enabling future updates to go more smoothly. We stand ready to help make the next update as amazing as possible - we cannot wait for everyone to experience what it has to offer!

Hello Terrarians! Chris here, lead developer at Paper Fort Games. October has been jam-packed with conventions, playtesting and game development. George has been hard at work on more fantastic art assets and were continuing to perfect the modular boss miniatures.

Late pledges are now available by clicking the link below... TERRARIA: THE BOARD GAME CAMPAIGN LATE PLEDGES --- Lets jump in! ESSEN SPIEL RECAP At the start of October, we were showing Terraria: The Board Game at Essen Spiel, the worlds largest tabletop game convention. Over 200,000 attendees visited the show; thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth to chat about the game, to play a demo and to see the playmat in person! It was a wonderful chance to meet backers of the Kickstarter, fans of the game and also board gamers who had never heard of Terraria.
The Paper Fort Games booth team at Essen Spiel 2024! Our demo table was full from open to close on all 4 days of the convention, and it was extremely rewarding to watch attendees explore the game. Heres an excerpt from a review left by a player of the demo: I played the demo at Essen this weekend- INCREDIBLY fun experience, even with 3 other strangers. The developer was clearly passionate about taking the spirit of Terraria and translating it into boardgame format The best part of all, is no matter which choice you make you will still be progressing the game forward and generating value to the team Many actions you make, including exploring can be highly rewarding. I dont know if the path that my team took would have resulted in victory (honestly, I don't care) but subsequent games would force us to be a little more efficient with our actions to accomplish objectives and make progress toward a victory. Taking the first action was intimidating at first with all of the freedom of choice, but after you use the first or second action point it clicks

Terrarian trivia buffs might know that despite its appearance, the Bladed Glove is classified as a sword in the videogame and as such will occupy that slot on your character board.

Greetings Terrarians!
October is quite possibly our favorite month here on the Terraria team. We are big fans of the turn towards the Fall alongside all of the spooky happenings that come along with Halloween. Speaking of which, if you have any amazing Terraria-themed pumpkins, costumes, or anything similar that you put together for Halloween this year, we would love to see them - and maybe feature them in the community section next month! On the development side, the team is pushing hard towards the end of the year, checking off items on the team's collective list at a blistering pace. More on that later, but for now, let's see what treats the Terraria team has waiting for our amazing community this year!
All that said, let's see what's going on in the world of Terraria...
PC - RE-LOGIC
TERRARIA - LIFE FRUIT HAS GOT WHAT ADVENTURERS CRAVE
The team has been making some amazing progress on the "lists" we mentioned in September's State of the Game. There is still quite a bit to get done (and test and fix, etc), but we remain committed to never cutting any corners. Ultimately, updates will take the time they need to be done right - that mantra of "it's ready when it's ready" has served us, the game, and the community right for 13 years and counting after all! As for what that means for timing and whatnot, we cannot really say just yet. That said, we will be sure to keep everyone informed here in the SOTG as well as elsewhere when the time is right. Thank you for your patience and your support!
Speaking of your support, we are thrilled to reveal that Terraria has finally eclipsed the 60 million units milestone (60.7m to be precise) - with 33m on PC alone! Simply put, we could not do what we do every day while maintaining the principles we hold so dearly without your support. Thank you doesn't do it justice - rest assured we aim to keep being worthy of that support.
Life Fruit has always been a valuable commodity in Terraria - but really loses its usefulness once the player has reached full health.

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 - September 2024
As we mentioned in the opening of the State of the Game, the team has the final list in-hand - as well as a few possible additional things that we might include, which we will decide in the next couple of weeks - and is hard at work with getting all of that content together. Terraria 1.4.5 has turned into quite an update, far exceeding our initial intent to "just do the Dead Cells content". We know the update process has been longer than usual (or anyone expected), but the end is in sight and we hope that it will not be too much longer before we can get and give a sense for timing. We had a few spoilers in mind for this month, but none of them really felt right and/or are things we may not want to spoil at all before the update drops. So, that being the case, no spoilers from the PC side this month, I'm afraid. Of course, it is always a good time to look back on the tons of spoilers given for this update thus far - even we were floored by what all has been shared so far! Oh, and if you haven't checked out Core Keeper yet, you should - the team at Pugstorm are good people and they have created a pretty fun game!

Hello everyone! The tModLoader team and our amazing community of contributors continues to improve tModLoader. On October 1st the monthly update release of tModLoader will go live. Once again this month's release contains many improvements to the user experience, some gameplay bug fixes, as well as new features with examples and documentation for mod makers. One major contribution we'd like to highlight this month is work by alueck that enables Max and Linux users to contribute directly to tModLoader. If you are a Mac or Linux user and have been wanting to contribute a new feature to tModLoader, it should now be possible and we are willing to help on Discord if you run into any roadblocks. 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 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.
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!
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)
Alongside keeping pace with the Re-Logic PC team in regards to adding all of the content and changes coming with Terraria 1.4.5, the DR Studios team has spent a considerable amount of time thinking of ways to evolve and improve the experience on console and mobile. One such area of focus has been around the issue of the screen feeling cluttered - especially on devices with smaller screens - due to the number of control buttons that are needed to enable a fully-operational control scheme for Terraria. We have brainstormed a lot of ways to tackle this issue, and we feel like we have landed on a pretty good new option for players - Radial Buttons!
These new radial buttons that let you combine up to 4 different actions into one button. Our main goal with them is to help cut down on clutter, as well as to better associate related actions in defaults (for example, combining potions + cursor options together in their own radial buttons). These support quick swipe gestures if you want to instantly use something, and are fully customizable by the player. These will eventually be accompanied by a new default scheme, but there is a lot of discussion and iteration that needs to happen before we can show that to you. We hope this will give players that find the screen to be a bit crowded on mobile a new way to play! --- Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

Hello Terrarians! Chris here, lead developer at Paper Fort Games. The last month has flown by at Paper Fort Games HQ thanks to ongoing game development, playtesting, art production and convention preparation. In this months designer diary, Ill be sharing development news, playmat and Developer Set art, videos of our latest Boss miniature prototypes and a look at how weve recently been using lasers as part of the design process. If you missed the campaign but would like to get your hands on the game, dont worry! Late pledges are now available by clicking the link below... TERRARIA: THE BOARD GAME CAMPAIGN LATE PLEDGES --- Lets jump in! PLAYMAT ART In my last design diary, I shared Georges detailed black and white sketches of the Terrarian vs Wall of Flesh art piece that will be featured on the full-art side of the games playmat. Hes been hard at work bringing that scene to life and were very excited to reveal the full-colour art below!
Heres the process from first sketch to final art:
Weve also been updating the other side of the playmat; the one that helps you to set up the game. It features pre-printed starting biome tiles and spaces for NPCs, objectives and more. As youll be building your world on this side of the mat, weve opted to keep it relatively simple, so it doesn't detract from important gameplay information:
We cant wait to see a physical version of this playmat; a sample is being produced right now and we're hoping to have it at our booth during Essen Spiel (more about that below), so swing by to see it if youre there! Want to get your hands on the playmat? You can get it as an add-on with any Terraria: The Board Game pledge! --- BOSS MINIATURES The latest prototypes of our boss miniatures recently arrived at the office; in the video below, you can see examples of the key system that allows boss parts to be removed/ swapped out during boss battles. King Slime isnt quite there yet; the transparent material looks pretty good but his key system needs further improvement. Also, the minis in this video are just spray painted; these wont be their final colours as they will be cast in specific colour-matched plastics we have chosen for each boss. The great thing about high-quality 3D printing is that we can try these models out, make changes and make sure they work before committing to making the final casting moulds. [previewyoutube=V09uz4fmHX0;full][/previewyoutube] --- GAME DEVELOPMENT (AND LASERS!) Here are some of the games features weve been focusing on this month:
--- DEVELOPER SETS George recently finished all of the Developer vanity sets for the game; here they are in all their painted glory! Wed like to say a huge thank you to the Re-Logic team for letting us include them, and for the developers feedback on their sets.
--- MEET US AT ESSEN SPIEL! From October 3rd to 6th, well be showing Terraria: The Board Game at Essen Spiel in Germany; the worlds largest tabletop game convention. If youre coming to the show, wed love to meet you; please stop by Hall 4, booth 4C430 to check out the latest version of the game (were between Hall 5 and the Galleria). --- We're looking forward to sharing even more next month. Remember; if you missed the campaign but would still like to get your hands on the game, late pledges are now available via the link below: TERRARIA: THE BOARD GAME CAMPAIGN LATE PLEDGES Until next time!

Greetings Terrarians!
Fall is almost here, and we can't wait. For several members of the team, this is their favorite time of the year - Halloween decorations are already starting to go up! Speaking of, we hope everyone is already coming up with ideas for cool Terraria pumpkin carvings, costumes, and art because we always love to see them. In the meantime, the teams remain hard at work on adding/tweaking/fixing content for Terraria 1.4.5. The finish line is starting to take shape, though we admittedly do have a couple of decent-sized ideas we want to discuss internally and decide if we should take those on before we can say for certain. How's that for vague? All that said, we are pretty excited for what is in Terraria 1.4.5 already, what we know is still to be added, and what may or may not be yet to come. Just a little while longer...
All that said, let's see what's going on in the world of Terraria...
PC - RE-LOGIC
TERRARIA - WHITTLING DOWN THE FINAL LISTS
As we mentioned in the opening of the State of the Game, the team has the final list in-hand - as well as a few possible additional things that we might include, which we will decide in the next couple of weeks - and is hard at work with getting all of that content together. Terraria 1.4.5 has turned into quite an update, far exceeding our initial intent to "just do the Dead Cells content". We know the update process has been longer than usual (or anyone expected), but the end is in sight and we hope that it will not be too much longer before we can get and give a sense for timing. We had a few spoilers in mind for this month, but none of them really felt right and/or are things we may not want to spoil at all before the update drops. So, that being the case, no spoilers from the PC side this month, I'm afraid. Of course, it is always a good time to look back on the tons of spoilers given for this update thus far - even we were floored by what all has been shared so far! Oh, and if you haven't checked out Core Keeper yet, you should - the team at Pugstorm are good people and they have created a pretty fun game!

Terraria State of the Game - August 2024
While Terraria has had various weather effects for quite some time, they have mostly been cosmetic. Outside of wind - which can impact movement and projectiles - and possibly the visibility-limiting blizzard/sandstorms, weather has never really played a huge role in the Terraria adventure. Terraria 1.4.5 aims to change that up a bit by not only adding some new natural/weather phenomenons, but also making some weather elements more... interactive. [previewyoutube=mWNb32Qj-OA;full][/previewyoutube]Remember, if you feel your hair standing on end, it may be time to seek shelter indoors! How shocking! What other goodies have the team added this month? Well, be sure to check out the Console/Mobile section for at least one more spoiler... but as always, some things will remain a secret. Until next time folks!

Hello everyone! The tModLoader team and our amazing community of contributors continues to improve tModLoader. On September 1st the monthly update release of tModLoader will go live. This month's release contains many improvements to the user experience, some gameplay bug fixes, as well as new features with examples and documentation for mod makers. One new feature we want to showcase in particular is in-game workshop tag filtering. This has been a highly requested feature and we hope this new filter will help users find the mods they want more easily in-game. We expect this feature to especially help users find mods that support their native language.
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 directly to the announcement once it is live.

This month, the DR team spent a good amount of time on some polish and QOL projects specific to Console and Mobile that we have had on the list for a good while. While we are keeping pace well with the development pipeline for Terraria 1.4.5 on PC, we were pleased that we had some available time to go ahead and tackle these rather than having to wait for a future update. More on that at a later time. That said, let's check out a quick Terraria spoiler, shall we?
Think outside the cage - free your captured critters from confinement while keeping them close by! Terraria 1.4.5 will allow players to place captured critters out in the open via "leashing" them to a specific location. We hope this will help make your favorite Terraria world feel more lively than ever! --- Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

Hello Terrarians! Chris here, lead developer at Paper Fort Games. This month, weve got development news, art to share, and an update on our adopted hive. If you missed the campaign but would like to get your hands on the game, dont worry! Late pledges are now available by clicking the link below... TERRARIA: THE BOARD GAME CAMPAIGN LATE PLEDGES --- Game Development Over the past month, weve been fine-tuning some of the games mechanisms and rules based on feedback received from backers and playtesters. Here are some of the features weve been focusing on:
--- Modular Miniatures Weve been working closely with our manufacturing partners on the boss miniatures to make sure that theyre easy to put together and take apart; below are examples of the key system were working on. Weve requested a couple of changes (for example, now that King Slime is transparent, we need to change the direction of the keys so that the sticky-out bit of the crown isnt visible inside the miniature) but even so, we are hoping to receive physical samples for all of the miniatures in the next couple of weeks so we can test them out. Well share a video of the miniatures in action when they arrive!
--- Playmat Sketches One of the add-ons available with Terraria: The Board Game is the giant world playmat. One side features the games UI and provides a surface on which to build your world. The other will feature a full-art Terrarian vs. Wall of Flesh scene; below are Georges black + white work-in progress sketches of the showdown art. We cant wait to share the full-colour art piece; the mat will be perfect as a desk mat or for playing other card games.
--- The Underground Hive is Live! The beehive that we adopted as part of the campaigns social goals has now been chosen; the team down at Much Birch went above and beyond, taking the time to choose a hive worthy of the Underground Jungle name!

For our next Terraria Discord event, we have partnered with Penguin Games to create a parkour speedrun event! This speedrun event will have two separate brackets to ensure everyone has a chance at getting a place no matter their skill level. The beginners bracket will play the course: Empyrean. The experienced bracket will play the course: Sans. Because the experienced bracket will be running on a more advanced course, the prizes for placing high on the leaderboard will be more grand. While you can only submit active times for ONE BRACKET, you are free to switch for any reason. When switching brackets, the event team will remove any times you had from the leaderboard from the bracket you're switching from. Because of this though, we will not be doing a public leaderboard until the event is over. Join the official Terraria Discord and visit our #server-announcement channel for all parkour event details.
Until next time, Terrarians - we hope you have an amazing month, and we look forward to bringing you the latest and greatest next time!

Greetings Terrarians!
Back to school already? That may have set the record for the fastest-feeling Summer of all time. We hope everyone at least got a chance to grab some fun times with friends and family over the past few months - before we all plunge headlong into what Fall has in store. On the Terraria front, we are full speed ahead in the second half of the year, with development of 1.4.5 still going quite well (we are nearing the 50th beta of this dev cycle!). Each month sees the addition of even more cool stuff - we are particularly excited for what was added this month, though we are only going to spoil one of the more "shocking" tidbits for now. We know everyone wants that juicy release date still, but we are patiently working through our list of "to do's", and we do not want to ever cut any corners... so it will still be a bit longer, I'm afraid.
With that out of the way... let's take a look at a particularly intriguing State of the Game!
PC - RE-LOGIC
TERRARIA - WEATHERING THE STORM
While Terraria has had various weather effects for quite some time, they have mostly been cosmetic. Outside of wind - which can impact movement and projectiles - and possibly the visibility-limiting blizzard/sandstorms, weather has never really played a huge role in the Terraria adventure. Terraria 1.4.5 aims to change that up a bit by not only adding some new natural/weather phenomenons, but also making some weather elements more... interactive. [previewyoutube=mWNb32Qj-OA;full][/previewyoutube]Remember, if you feel your hair standing on end, it may be time to seek shelter indoors! How shocking! What other goodies have the team added this month? Well, be sure to check out the Console/Mobile section for at least one more spoiler... but as always, some things will remain a secret. Until next time folks!
STEAM WORKSHOP NEWS

WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?
Whittling down the list of remaining items, discussing what - if anything - should be added to said list.
TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM
Hello everyone! The tModLoader team and our amazing community of contributors continues to improve tModLoader. On September 1st the monthly update release of tModLoader will go live. This month's release contains many improvements to the user experience, some gameplay bug fixes, as well as new features with examples and documentation for mod makers. One new feature we want to showcase in particular is in-game workshop tag filtering. This has been a highly requested feature and we hope this new filter will help users find the mods they want more easily in-game. We expect this feature to especially help users find mods that support their native language.
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 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.
TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP
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!
WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?
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
This month, the DR team spent a good amount of time on some polish and QOL projects specific to Console and Mobile that we have had on the list for a good while. While we are keeping pace well with the development pipeline for Terraria 1.4.5 on PC, we were pleased that we had some available time to go ahead and tackle these rather than having to wait for a future update. More on that at a later time. That said, let's check out a quick Terraria spoiler, shall we?
IF YOU LOVE YOUR CRITTERS SET THEM FREE!
Think outside the cage - free your captured critters from confinement while keeping them close by! Terraria 1.4.5 will allow players to place captured critters out in the open via "leashing" them to a specific location. We hope this will help make your favorite Terraria world feel more lively than ever! --- Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

TERRARIA MERCHANDISE UPDATES
TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME UPDATE
Hello Terrarians! Chris here, lead developer at Paper Fort Games. This month, weve got development news, art to share, and an update on our adopted hive. If you missed the campaign but would like to get your hands on the game, dont worry! Late pledges are now available by clicking the link below... TERRARIA: THE BOARD GAME CAMPAIGN LATE PLEDGES --- Game Development Over the past month, weve been fine-tuning some of the games mechanisms and rules based on feedback received from backers and playtesters. Here are some of the features weve been focusing on:
- Movement, digging and line-of-sight rules (these have been simplified and made more consistent)
- Weapon range adjustments to better reflect the digital game
- Hook-based movement; equip a hook to get around more easily!
- Difficulty scaling for 1/2 player vs 3/4 player games, including changes to objectives, bosses and available inventory slots based on player count.
- Small changes to resource/ equipment sharing rules to disincentivise inventory offloading pre-death
- Addition of pylons allowing long-distance mid to end-game travel.
--- Modular Miniatures Weve been working closely with our manufacturing partners on the boss miniatures to make sure that theyre easy to put together and take apart; below are examples of the key system were working on. Weve requested a couple of changes (for example, now that King Slime is transparent, we need to change the direction of the keys so that the sticky-out bit of the crown isnt visible inside the miniature) but even so, we are hoping to receive physical samples for all of the miniatures in the next couple of weeks so we can test them out. Well share a video of the miniatures in action when they arrive!
--- Playmat Sketches One of the add-ons available with Terraria: The Board Game is the giant world playmat. One side features the games UI and provides a surface on which to build your world. The other will feature a full-art Terrarian vs. Wall of Flesh scene; below are Georges black + white work-in progress sketches of the showdown art. We cant wait to share the full-colour art piece; the mat will be perfect as a desk mat or for playing other card games.
--- The Underground Hive is Live! The beehive that we adopted as part of the campaigns social goals has now been chosen; the team down at Much Birch went above and beyond, taking the time to choose a hive worthy of the Underground Jungle name! The sign reads 'The 'Underground Jungle' Hive; adopted by Paper Fort Games on behalf of the Terraria community'. UNDERGROUND JUNGLE HIVE --- We're looking forward to sharing even more next month. Remember; if you missed the campaign but would still like to get your hands on the game, late pledges are now available via the link below: TERRARIA: THE BOARD GAME CAMPAIGN LATE PLEDGES Until next time!

Terraria State of the Game - July 2024
Observant Terrarians have likely noted several new whips that are coming your way in Terraria 1.4.5 - welcome additions for all of those summoner players out there!

Unleash the volatile energies that permeate the Jungle on unwary foes - what a Vulgar Display of Flower indeed! The team, of course, remains hard at work on both adding new things as well as tweaking and fixing things that we have already added. We know everyone wants a release date/window, but we are not ready to provide that just yet. Just be patient for us a bit longer... it will be worth it in the end.

Greetings Terrarians!
What a ridiculously hot month July has been for pretty much everyone, and we are not just talking about the temperatures outside. Can you believe that it has been a year since the Great War of Axes & Trees? Of course, this year, it's been the the Terraria CEO Standoff - which way did you fall on how Terraria should be pronounced? What did you make of Temporary-CEO Chippy's ideas for the game? Anything there you'd like to see become a reality?
All that said, let's get into the latest and greatest of all things Terraria!

Our friends at 50 Amp Productions have some news and reminders that they would like to share - check it out!
- We heard a great deal of concern about the price of international shipping... and we agreed! International shipping rates are ridiculous. It took us more time than we hoped because the feat was greater than we had imagined. However, we are happy to share that our new shipping services have been integrated into our web store, and you should find that your shipping rates were slashed to a fraction of what they once were.
- Come by and check it out! And if you live in a country that has not yet seen the price change, email us at help@50ampproductions.com (mailto:help@50ampproductions.com) and tell us what country and we will look into it for you.
- For US fans, if you go to the site, you will see there are shipping savings for you as well. Spend $40 and we will pay your shipping for you. As a thank you for your continued support!
- The graphic novel collection is available for preorders on Barnes and Noble, Target.com, Amazon, Booksamillionyou name it! The release date is October 15 and you will be ordering direct from the retailer. We priced it at $10.99, essentially giving you over 20 pages for free. The book collects volume 1, issues 1-4 of the continuing comic book series and will get you ready to read volume 2! We are really proud of the book and hope you check it out.
- Lastly, we wanted to remind you that as you read this, all materials from issues 1-6 are in stock and shipping within days of order, barring mail holidays, of course! There is no preorder this time, so you can check it out, order it, and have it in your hands all within a tiny window of time.

Terraria State of the Game - June 2024
It has been quite some time since we gave an update on just how massive the Terraria fanbase has grown. This was somewhat by design, as we had our sights set on doing so once we passed a somewhat-obscure game about a plumber and his brother trying to save a princess from this dragon-turtle thing...
Thanks to the support of Terrarians everywhere, we are very proud to share that Terraria has surpassed 58 million units sold - 58.7m to be more exact, with nearly 32m from PC alone! Once again, we are beyond humbled and thankful for your continued support - it is the force that drives us every day to make even more awesome Terraria experiences. I wonder what might happen when we get to sixty million...
In case you missed it, the Re-Logic team recently had the distinct pleasure to work alongside a massive Terraria fan, Frank, as we crafted his very own Terraria vanity set! Frank is a 17-year-old teenager from Rockaway, New Jersey who is battling a critical illness. Frank declared to Make-A-Wish New Jersey that his one true wish was to have his own Vanity Set in Terraria - and we were beyond thrilled to make that a reality!
You can check out Frank's vanity set - the Heroicis Set, complete with "Film Noir" shader - when Terraria 1.4.5 releases!
Ever wondered what those Re-Logic beta testing playthroughs are like? What sorts of bugs are found? What shenanigans take place? Well, Chippy recently put together a nice little video about his experiences as a beta tester on Terraria 1.4.5 around a year ago - a documentary for science, if you will.

Hello everyone! The tModLoader team and our amazing community of contributors continues to improve tModLoader. On July 1st the monthly update release of tModLoader will go live. This month's release contains many improvements to the user experience, some gameplay bug fixes, as well as new examples and documentation for mod makers. 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 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.
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!
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)
The team at DR Studios remains hard at work on both Terraria 1.4.5 content as well as console and mobile specific tweaks and fixes. More details to come on all of that down the line, but suffice to say that we think that the Terraria experience will be the best that it has ever been on all platforms once 1.4.5 comes out! That said, let's dive into some spoilers shall we?
As we mentioned last month, we are undergoing a full review of all gamepad/control maps and making QOL changes that we think everyone will enjoy. Here's a taste of some changes from this past month's work on this project:
A buff icon was added in the top left corner, which only displays if the player has unused buff items.
The state display in the top right corner has been expanded on to include more things and their mappings. Health / mana potions also display here in appropriate circumstances, though whether they'll be moved up with buffs is still being discussed.
Bombs - not just for blasting random holes in the ground anymore! --- Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

June saw the completion of the Terraria Board Game Kickstarter - and wow, we are blown away!!! Over 15,000 Terrarians - both old and new - pledged over two million dollars to make Terraria: The Board Game as amazing as it can possibly be. Every single stretch goal was met, the comments were amazing to read and respond to, and we cannot wait to get everything put together and in your hands! The current expected delivery timing for Terraria: The Board Game is June 2025, but the team at Paper Fort Games will update us all as things move along. In the meantime, the Re-Logic team will continue to partner closely with PFG in order to ensure this latest Terraria experience is authentic and of the highest quality. If you missed out on the Kickstarter, don't fret - we expect a version to hit retailers down the road as well. The gameplay will be the same, though perhaps with a bit fewer fancy doodads.

Hot on the heels of the recent CEO battle between Redigit and Chippy, this month's Terraria T-shirt drop on Terraria.shop dives deep into the age old question that has bothered humanity since the dawn of time: how exactly does one pronounce "Terraria"? There seems to be some disagreement - and it often seems to fall along country lines... Of course, with it being close to Independence Day, we couldn't help but poke a little fun at this long-standing Terrarian debate:

Greetings Terrarians!
June has been an exciting month, to be sure! Alongside the steady forward march of Terraria development, we saw the Terraria Board Game crowdfunding campaign go completely nuts and we also were able to finally reveal the special vanity set designed by a huge Terraria fan, Frank, via Make-A-Wish. Suffice to say, it was an eventful month - and July looks to be just as hot. Speaking of heat, it seems to be ridiculously hot everywhere this summer - so no better time to keep cool, stay inside, and start that next Terraria playthrough!
Now, let's dive into some refreshing Terraria news...
PC - RE-LOGIC

Making a Wish Come True in Terraria
Frank's initial concept art - by Dnsu (IG : dnsu_1 - FB: Dnsu)
We also included a brand new shader, inspired by the "film noir" style of Frank's design. We haven't fully sorted out how this will be toggled just yet, but we will in time. As always, there may be further tweaks and such to this set and the shader before it goes live in Terraria 1.4.5, but we didn't want to wait any longer to share it with all of you!
We also sent Frank a little Terraria swag...
Huge thanks go out to Frank, Make-A-Wish New Jersey, the entire Terraria dev team, and our very own Jaxrud who took on the monumental task of fulfilling this wish. We cannot wait to see Frank's reaction when he gets a chance to dive into Terraria with his very own Vanity Set later this year!
Make-A-Wish New Jersey creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. In the fight against a critical illness, a wish serves as a catalyst for renewed strength and encouragement for every child and family on their journey. A wish helps kids look past their limitations, families overcome anxiety and entire communities experience joy. Most importantly, wishes can improve a childs quality of life. We believe a single wish transforms lives. With their national headquarters based in Phoenix, Arizona, Make-A-Wish is one of the worlds leading childrens charities, with 57 chapters serving children in every community in the United States and its territories, and nearly 40 international affiliates. Make-A-Wish New Jersey was founded in 1983. Serving children in every municipality in the Garden State, Make-A-Wish New Jersey has granted nearly 12,000 wishes since its inception. For more information about Make-A-Wish New Jersey, call 800-252-WISH or visit nj.wish.org and discover how you can help transform lives, one wish at a time.

Greetings Terrarians!
As you all know, we cannot say enough about how much we appreciate the members of our community. In addition, we have always tried our best to be a charity-minded company. With that as background, we are beyond thrilled to share that we are partnering with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to make a young Terrarian's wish come true!
Make-A-Wish New Jersey contacted us a few months ago to share that they had a huge Terraria fan whose biggest wish we could help make a reality. Of course, we jumped at the chance to make this happen and we were quickly introduced to Frank. Frank is a 17-year-old teenager from Rockaway, New Jersey who is battling a critical illness. Frank declared to Make-A-Wish New Jersey that his one true wish was to have his own Vanity Set in Terraria.
Since then, we have been working closely with Frank to bring this Vanity Set to life - from initial concepts to various iterations to adding flavor text and more, it has been a real honor and pleasure to work hand-in-hand with Frank to make his dream a reality. He is certainly a Terrarian, through and through!
With all that said, we are pleased to be able to reveal Frank's Vanity set, which will be coming everyone's way with the Terraria 1.4.5 update...
HEROICIS ARMOR SET
Frank's initial concept art - by Dnsu (IG : dnsu_1 - FB: Dnsu)
We also included a brand new shader, inspired by the "film noir" style of Frank's design. We haven't fully sorted out how this will be toggled just yet, but we will in time. As always, there may be further tweaks and such to this set and the shader before it goes live in Terraria 1.4.5, but we didn't want to wait any longer to share it with all of you!
We also sent Frank a little Terraria swag...
Huge thanks go out to Frank, Make-A-Wish New Jersey, the entire Terraria dev team, and our very own Jaxrud who took on the monumental task of fulfilling this wish. We cannot wait to see Frank's reaction when he gets a chance to dive into Terraria with his very own Vanity Set later this year!
ABOUT MAKE-A-WISH NEW JERSEY
Make-A-Wish New Jersey creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. In the fight against a critical illness, a wish serves as a catalyst for renewed strength and encouragement for every child and family on their journey. A wish helps kids look past their limitations, families overcome anxiety and entire communities experience joy. Most importantly, wishes can improve a childs quality of life. We believe a single wish transforms lives. With their national headquarters based in Phoenix, Arizona, Make-A-Wish is one of the worlds leading childrens charities, with 57 chapters serving children in every community in the United States and its territories, and nearly 40 international affiliates. Make-A-Wish New Jersey was founded in 1983. Serving children in every municipality in the Garden State, Make-A-Wish New Jersey has granted nearly 12,000 wishes since its inception.

Terraria State of the Game - May 2024
The Re-Logic team is beyond ecstatic to reveal that our little dev team family has grown by two with the official addition of jopojelly and Kazzymodus! Just who are these new Re-Logic team members and what will/have they be working on? Let's find out!
Kazzymodus has been a beta-tester for Terraria for more than five years, having experienced the development of 1.4 - still known as 1.3.6 at the time - onward first-hand from start to soon-to-be finish. During that time they've tested a great deal of content, weeding out a lot of issues before it ends up in your collective hands, as well as giving feedback and suggestions to make sure any new (and old!) content is the best it can be. Now in charge of Quality Assurance, they're doing their best to make your 1.4.5 experience as smooth and bug-free as possible! ---
Jopojelly became involved in tModLoader during its infancy and quickly became integral in making mods and adding new features to tModLoader. He has always strived to make the experiences of both using mods and making mods better. Rather than make new content himself, jopojelly focused on guiding millions of tModLoader players in experiencing modded content through his quality of life mods Recipe Browser, Boss Checklist, and Census - to name a few. These mods help make players aware of all the awesome bosses, items, and town NPCs added by other mods they have installed so that they can experience them all. Jopojelly will continue to work on collaborating with the tModLoader community on adding new features and bug fixes to tModLoader.
The latest in the handful of transformations coming to Terraria 1.4.5, the Rat Transformation will let you climb walls and squeak into small spaces!

Lots of bug fixing, some balance work, and a few fun inventory management QoL ideas that we hope work out...
Hello everyone! The tModLoader team and our amazing community of contributors continues to improve tModLoader. On June 1st the monthly update release of tModLoader will go live. This month's release contains several UI fixes and stability fixes. This month we've fixed a few UI issues: some fixes for the ModPacks feature, some UI fixes for multiplayer connections, and a UI fix for Mod Browser / downloading mods. 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 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.
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!
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)
Another month of keeping pace while also tackling some console/mobile specific issues (more on that in a moment) has gone by and we are as excited as ever! Even managing to get a little crossplay progress done in the background. That said, you came for the spoilers so here they are!
We wanted to show off the new Rat Transformation as well - so we hope you enjoy seeing this different spin on this month's spoiler!
We have also been hard at work in an attempt to simplify and clarify Control Banners (the little areas that show button mappings on screen). This has been a complaint we have heard from many Terrarians, so we hope this helps - and makes more sense - than the current version. Let's dive into some details! KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS ALL VERY WORK IN PROGRESS AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE!
In the live version of the game, a control banner at the bottom of the screen displays every single binding. --- Because absolutely everything is listed here, it forces players to fish for specific actions. This takes a considerable amount of time and slows gameplay down, as it creates a disconnect between where the controls are displayed versus where the player is looking. To address this, we started by splitting the bottom banner off into several dedicated ones. At the moment these exist in the following places:
Bottom of the screen. This is primarily for a few general items which are not context-specific. At the moment we are working to shorten this, as it is still somewhat long (in part because all bindings display now, regardless of whether a modifier trigger is held). Up near the minimap & state display - contains smart cursor, map options, chat options, and the like. Next to the hotbar - contains anything related to the inventory, as well as information for hotbar swapping
At the bottom of inventory pages - these contain bindings that you would normally perform in the inventory, such as splitting a stack and others. --- On top of this, however, weve also started placing certain bindings in bespoke areas
If a Switch to Hotbar #X binding exists, we display it over the respective hotbar slot.
If an inventory binding exists for something that has a side button (such as Quick Stack or Tools), then we display it below the button. We are hoping these make certain actions clearer to players, and allow more focus to go towards gameplay and less on figuring out what each button does. --- Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

Hello everyone! We tried to have an update on the new international shipping system integration and the re-opening of orders ready in time for today's State of the Game, but we ran into some last minute technical issues that we want to iron out first. Most important is ensuring the best possible customer experience when we open up the gates. When we reopen, we will unveil the issue 6 materials and this time, they will be in stock as we begin taking orders, so we will be able to ship new orders without delay. Won't be much longer - we figure it will be sometime next week, barring any more last minute problems. Stay tuned!!!
In celebration of Terraria's 13th Birthday, the amazing Terrarians over at the Terraia Discord server sent us a whole pile of creative and heartfelt birthday cards! We wanted to say thank you so much to each person that took the time to create a card and to the Discord admin team for pulling it all together.
We definitely appreciate all of you more than we could ever express - thanks!!!

Greetings Terrarians!
Summer is finally here - well for some of us at least. We are greatly enjoying the warmer temperatures and the chance to get outside a lot more. Of course, development work remains at a steady pace as we draw ever-closer to Terraria 1.4.5. In the meantime, we hope that you enjoyed the 13th Anniversary celebration (and re-release of 1.1) earlier this month... and that you are looking forward to the upcoming board game as much as we are! 2024 is nearly half-done, and we are quite excited about what the rest of the year has in store for Terrarians everywhere.
With that out of the way, let's dip our toes into this month's pool of Terraria news!

Ive also been lucky enough to help test early version of the game since around mid 2017 and have had a great time over the years getting to peek behind the curtain and get to know the developers and my fellow testers (and a few other people from the community too!). The group multiplayer playthroughs are so much fun, and I still manage to learn something new about the game every time I play ... between the many many deaths that is. Certain moments during testing for both Master Mode and the even harder seed variants like 'For the Worthy' were particularly tough, not to mention the trolling from other members of the testing team and even the developers! I very much empathise with the original 1.3 Expert Mode testers ...
We got to see lots of funny, weird and interesting bugs too. I sadly can't mention all of them, but a favourite of mine was the brief period of time when ALL projectiles were affected by wind. It made certain boss fights quite interesting, even if it was totally unplayable! Just don't mention infinite boulders, or the 'Wall of Guide'...
Hmm, yes this is how you sit in a chair, right?
There seems to be something wrong with this campfire.
Motion smoothing for teleporting enemies might have been a mistake...
What do you mean I can't deploy my stool while grappled to a wall!? Another huge highlight of my time was getting to meet up with a few other members of the community, along with some people from Re-Logic, DR Studios and 505 Games back in July 2019. It was truly a blast to hang out in person and I cannot wait until we get to do it next.
I've been a part of this amazing community for a while now, and I'm still blown away by just how friendly and kind everyone is. It's been a huge privilege to witness everything I have, and to take part in so much. I'm proud to have been able to give back a little by organising community events such as the amazing Creation Compendium (go check these out if you haven't - there are some stunning creations in there!) I'd also like to thank Re-Logic from the bottom of my heart for all the amazing opportunities they've given and generosity that they've shown me. I'm lucky enough to have my own career in game development which I would not have without what I've learnt testing this game. Here's to another 13 years!!! Wall of guide?
J BAME I remember back when beta testing 1.4.4 balance changes, Nimbus and I noticed that whip sizes were strangely inconsistent, sometimes some whips were inexplainably bigger than normal. We quickly realized some armors were increasing Whip Range when they were not supposed to. We started taking off pieces to see which one was bugged, then we realized it wasn't just armor, it was accessories too. It was so weird that we had to ask Leinfors to check the code and see what the problem was. He looked up which items increased whip range... and then he found the problem. When he gave a 10% range bonus to Tiki Mask, he had accidentally given the same buff to 90% of the items in the game. This was caused by a single character typo in the code: Instead of checking for which Item ID was equal to Tiki Mask's, it was checking which ID was equal or greater than Tiki Mask's. That was a fun day. We will always remember you, Leinfors.
AURORA3500 My story with Terraria began with learning about it when I was in my last year of high school through youtube videos shared by my classmates. It looked like a very interesting game and I got it gifted to me in late 2011. I played it overtime and learned a lot about it starting from 1.1. And then lurked in Terraria Online for a few years. Mostly to follow dev updates and to get Tconfig Mods. Later when TCF was born, I would join that after learning it was the new official Forums of Terraria. At 1st I still lurked, and mostly used it to see news for the updates. Seeing the announcement for both Terraria Otherworld and 1.3 was a very exciting time and I got involved more in the community during that time. I had no idea where it would lead a year later, as the call for new Moderators was put out, I put in a moderator application. Because TCF had become more than a place to discuss Terraria. It was a family. I was inspired from learning what Terraria developers such as Leinfors and Ghostar have done for the game and seeing that they started out as Forum members just like many of us. When I was accepted into the Forum staff, the Forum staff and developers also became family to me. TCF means a lot to me due to how a real effort is put forth to ensure that it is a welcoming place for many people. It is taken for granted across the internet which is why it feels like a treasure. Sometime after that, I was accepted as a beta tester, to test for the game I love a ton and have invested more hours than any other game into. Together with Unit One who joined the Forum staff and became a tester at the same time as me, we tested the end of 1.3.5, and began to test 1.3.6. At the time none of us had any idea it would become the grand 1.4 update known as Journey's End. As it developed, I continued my work on the Forums with the Forum staff, and also worked with Leinfors and other testers to test the game, report bugs, and share our own feedback. Memories with Leinfors, other testers from our chats and playthroughs are memories I continue to cherish. One of my favorite moments of 1.4 testing was when the Bestiary was confirmed to be added to the game. I love Monster Guide type features in the various JRPGs and Metroidvanias I love and I doubted my eyes that it was also coming to Terraria. I asked Lein if I was dreaming. And he assured me that I wasn't dreaming, that it was being planned for awhile. It's a moment that still gets me giddy. One of the favorite bugs I discovered during 1.4 testing was with the Zombie Merman Moonwalking backwards. It never made it to release due to how I looked at Blood Moon fishing once it was added.
1.4.4 is another standout update to me. It is my next favorite update due to how it added the Remix seed, and increased the stack size for all items to 9999, among other additions. Terraria itself has held longtime appeal to me due to how it takes elements of platformers, metroidvania games, and JRPGs and blends them with sandbox building gameplay. They have always been my favorite types of games and are mixed perfectly in Terraria. Beyond Terraria itself, the community, dev team, and my fellow Forum staff members and testers remain an important family to me. To this day I continue to give what I can to it in hopes of making all of it an even better place. Times were hard in 2023 when we lost Leinfors. It has taken time to process, but I've used that time to better myself physically and mentally in multiple areas of life, and continue to be an active part of the Forums while testing the game. I think it's what Lein would want. So I plan to keep giving myself to TCF, and Terraria, to ensure the Forums can be a home for anyone, and to make 1.4.5 another amazing update, and anything beyond that as well.
CRIDDLE Hi, I'm Criddle! Maybe you know me from somewhere? I've been a beta tester since May 2017. Getting to contribute to the game and helping out the developers at Re-Logic alongside my fellow testers has been pretty incredible. One of my favorite things to remember are the times we got to create our own paintings. The group playthroughs are also always exciting and chaotic. It can be really interesting listening to the devs discuss ideas. Over the years I've run into many strange and amusing issues while testing the game.
...did someone mention infinite boulders?
FAIRYPRINCESSSERENITY So, I don't exactly have a lot of funny stories to share. I tend to do a lot of the background building work that benefits everyone whenever our collective group does a playthrough together to test out new features. Arenas, NPC housing, farms. You get the idea. When I'm not doing that, I like to do things that try to break the game. If I can get Red to go We gotta nerf that, that's a good day. I also like to do funny stuff when no one is looking so they can react to it later on. I remember when I imported a bunch of Terra Toilets into the playthrough world we were on, and I put them at a bunch of fishing holes. When someone asked why that was there I said If you sit on a toilet, it makes you fish better. All the expert fishermen sit on toilets. You know what happened? That joke became an actual feature. When a bunch of us beta testers first joined the crew, we joined a world that had just gotten started a few hours ago. Red said You need to use torches that match the biome you're in because we were starting to test torch luck. I wanted to live in the ice biome, but I hate the ice torches. But Leinfors said as long as I don't use wrong torches, it wasn't against the rules to use whatever I want. So I used White Torches. And Lamps. And Lanterns. I made my home. Expanded it. Again, and again. I ended up making this amazing frozen base, and then because I had a lot of time to spare, I built a whole mountain on top of that. I remember that mountain fondly. Whenever I'm feeling nostalgic, I open that world and have a look at it. I wasn't an outlier - Everyone had a house on that world. One of the other testers (I won't say who) was crazy enough to have their house in the Crimson biome.
XMAN101 During one of the beta playthroughs for 1.4, Leinfors and a number of other testers were trying to figure out a strange bug with the Windy Day music. It seemed to play without rhyme or reason. Turns out, it was no bug. It just so happened that my base on this playthrough was in range of spawn and I had set up a music box to play Windy Day at my base. Once discovered, it was promptly deactivated by Leinfors.
UNIT ONE Happy Birthday Terraria! It has been a wild ride that I am so thankful for. Getting to beta test the game is a dream come true, and working with my fellow beta testers has been such a wonderful experience. All of them love the game, and nerd out to it like I do, sometimes so much so that I can't keep up with their knowledge. They are truly passionate and experts at what they do. One of my favorite bugs involved platinum axes showing up on empty weapon racks after opening legacy worlds. The weapon racks would be empty, I'd save and quit. Then open up that world in the newest beta, and boom, there were platinum axes on them. But not on all the empty weapon racks, it seemed so random and weird. Like I'm sure many of the other beta testers will mention in their stories, it was Leinfors that was right there, ready to dive into it. After his first reaction (which was "Wtf Unit, phantom Platinum Axes" to which I replied, "Yeahhhh, I dunno..."), he posted this:
Everyone tried to figure it out, people were loading in old worlds and got the platinum axes showing up, but only on certain racks. After a bit, we left it for the dev team to sort out (like they always magically do).
So many platinum axes! Can you spot why it was happening? Turns out that only the weapon racks facing left were getting these phantom axes. Right-facing weapon racks remained empty on world load. Once Yorai and Lein had figured it out, all the phantom axes were put to rest, never to show up again.
DOYLEE Don't challenge the creator of the game to a copper shortsword duel. He will win in ways you don't initially expect, whether that be boulders or banishment.
MANAUSER One time I found an obscure bug in the king statue. Specifically, a lightning bug. We were testing 1.4 which added the NPC happiness system, and I took it upon myself to manually check every neighbor combination and biome preference. That all went fine, but I was using the king and queen statues to help with moving NPCs around and happened to find something completely different: The king statue could summon lightning bugs if there were any on the screen. That bug report got a surprised "Whaaaat" from Leinfors. But it turned out that the king statue was supposed to (and now does) work on the traveling merchant, but guess no one ever noticed it wasn't working because they didn't know it should. See, the traveling merchant is NPC 368 and the lightning bug is NPC 358 so a little typo was all it took to get a funny result.
SIGMA Greetings, Terrarians! You are probably reading this hoping for spoilers? Loki has been posting teasers for Terraria 1.4.5. At Re-Logic? They're actively working on Terraria 1.96.3!
Don't hold your breath waiting for Terraria 2 its at least 3000 years away.
Nah, just kidding. This is one of many amusing bugs that have come up during playtesting. After all, Terraria is a game where eating lunch in midair is a comparatively normal thing to do. When a game has existed for 13 years and has over 5000 items (and counting), there are going to be strange and unexpected interactions. One of the very early (if not first) bugs I reported as a tester:
When meteors were shown in the background before landing, they were initially visible in the Underworld.
Herein provides an interesting crossover between bugs and contributions. An early version of my painting Blessing from the Heavens was a reference to this. It had an Underworld frame and was intended to be found in Obsidian Towers. But the Towers were already quite full of paintings, so it was moved to the Floating Islands and given a skyware frame. Having the opportunity to make some paintings has been the biggest highlight of being involved with Terraria. I hope you like the paintings as much as we did making them! (Leinfors, I am grateful that you were able to make `Strange Growths cycle between the four painting types when placed. You are missed by us all.) Tester contributions are strictly cosmetic paintings, names, tooltips, etc. Any new content and the direction of the game is with Re-Logic and its developers. Ever noticed how all of the town slimes names start with S? That was somewhat coincidental. We contributed names for slimes on a spreadsheet. Eventually we noticed a pattern emerged: The majority of them started with S. The team decided to keep it that way. (Most of those references the wiki mentions are not actually references. It's coincidental the name is the same.) Speaking of references Contrary to what the wiki says, the in-game dog name Lucky has nothing to do with 101 Dalmatians. Its the name of my real-life dog. He is not a dalmatian. If you do want to find a new reference, theres another in-game dog name named after my real-life dog. His name comes from a TV show.
I made the Abigail screenshot that was used in the 1.4.3 release announcement. It was not used, but I also made an in-game screenshot with Deerclops, Chester and Wilson. With news about greedy corporations, abandoned Early Access launches, on-disc DLC, and mob votes to garner attention how has Terraria managed to live so long, and with so many free updates? The answer: Everyone in Re-Logic plays Terraria and enjoys it. They all want the best they can. Whether paid or volunteer, it really is a labour of love. It's been 5 years since I was asked to join the testing team and I've enjoyed every minute of it. Throughout the journey, I've met some amazing people and made very good friends. To Re-Logic: Thank you for the opportunity. I am grateful for it every day. To my fellow team members: You are some of the most amazing people I know. To the player base: Your enthusiasm, dedication and strong community are what has kept (and will keep) Terraria growing and expanding. Everything Re-Logic does, it does for you. -- Sigma
DISCIPILE One of the most memorable experiences Ive had so far in my time as a tester for Terraria was during the summer of 2022, where Redigit invited us to play through a yet-to-be-polished version of what, at the time, was called the everything seed (later known as the zenith and get fixed boi seeds). The most notable difference between what we played and what was released was the number of Queen Bee larvae scattered throughout the world (it has since been drastically reduced after this playthrough, due to the sheer number of accidental summons and therefore effective armageddons during the early game). There were times where Red got so fed up with the Queen Bee summons he would temporarily give himself a Meowmere and slay them all. However as amazing as all of this was to experience first hand, what I remember the most, and will likely never forget, was when we, the testers and developers of Terraria, were set to face off against the underworlds fiercest pre-hardmode foe, the Wall of Flesh only there was one unforeseen issue that was only discovered halfway through the fight: the world difficulty was set to effectively Master mode, whereas it should have been set to Expert. As such, we were set to face a Wall of Flesh with just over 200,000 health, and the encounter resulted in several dozen deaths, and the Wall of Flesh going from one side of the world, to the other, undefeated, with just under half of their health remaining. This was the single most scuffed boss battle I have ever encountered in almost 13 years of playing Terraria, and also the single most enjoyable. There was even a time during the fight where everyone in the world other than Redigit and I had been slain; to fight alongside the creator of Terraria as other testers and developers cheered us on as we fought against the Wall of Flesh was nothing short of an unforgettable experience to say the least.
JENOSIS Hello! Im Jenosis and Id like to share my experience in Terraria both before and after I became a tester! Before I played Terraria I was unironically in the camp of oh wow 2D Minecraft. It started in 2012 with a friend asking me to come over and play it with him for a weekend while his parents were out of town. It felt slow and kind of clunky at first, at least on console (PS3), but it started to get really good and before I knew it I was running around in Hell with a space laser gun re-enacting the whole plot of DOOM trying to find magic weapons. I returned home and asked my parents if I could download and play it on our family computer (which was quite ancient). I began to play it and forgot about it for a good bit (as it was my senior year in highschool), but returned to it shortly after my graduation after enrolling in Fall college classes. I found the Crimson and told my friend all about it and he spent hours trying to find it on his PS3. As Terraria grew and updated, so did I and eventually began to dabble in modding it with tAPI a few months before 1.3 came out. Come 1.3 in all of its QoL and much needed expansion on existing content I was having even more fun and tModLoader was just starting to become a thing. I got back into modding again and made even more friends while doing so. Come 2019 I had a hard time trying to keep up with everything in my life. I got something in my TCF inbox one day and it was Cenx reaching out to me asking if I wanted to become a tester. I felt butterflies in my stomach for the sole reason of being involved in one of my favorite all time games. The first day of setup was information and sensation overload, but I learned a lot more than I thought I was going to for my first day. Over the course of 1.4 Beta there was much to test and find bugs for; I happened to catch a lot of tile related bugs in the process. One of my favorites was being able to plant the vanity trees on gray bricks. Another bug I loved, that was unexplainable and couldnt repro even now, was the crystal sentry beams coming from the pet butterfly. Makes me wish we had a butterfly summon now. Seasons have come and gone; so have phases of testing beta updates. Lein had unexpectedly passed away leaving all of us distraught and lost without him. He was a great person and mentor who helped expand, and understand, my views on game development. To this day whenever I or other testers suggest something; I tend to look at it with a reasonably critical eye to see where said thing could fit into the grand scheme of the game. Im loving my time helping out and testing the harder bugs so I can help make Terraria a better and more bug free game. Heres to Terraria and its wonderful community Ive had the absolute pleasure of interacting with, cheers!
NIKE LEON My beta testing horror story is from back in 2015. After one of the updates my character saves started overwriting each other. Nobody else was having the bug. And then the next update mysteriously fixed it.We never could figure out why...

You heard right, everyone - Terraria has officially entered its teenage years. Don't worry, we promise that we won't be any more moody and rebellious than we always have been! This time of the year is always special to the Terraria development team. It is a time of celebration, but moreso a time of reflection: on the journey we have taken thus far, what is coming soon, and what may lie ahead beyond that horizon. It is humbling to know that our small team has been able to release and support a game as successful as Terraria for all these years.
Even more humbling is the unwavering support that each of you have shown us throughout those thirteen years. Through the ups and downs that game dev and even life has thrown at us - and all of you - your support has been the one constant that we know we can rely on each and every day. In fact. we appreciate you so much that we got YOU a birthday present...
In celebration of Terraria's 13th Anniversary - and building upon the recent Undeluxe Edition - we are releasing Terraria 1.1 as a beta branch on Steam today!
Enter a world where Hardmode was brand new and the mech bosses represented the ultimate challenge - take a glimpse at how far Terraria has come!
TERRARIA FIRST FINAL VERSION (v1.1.2) DEDICATED SERVER EXE
We are looking forward to seeing what you make of Terraria 1.4.5 an Crossplay (hopefully!) . Who knows what exactly the future holds beyond that, but what we do know is that the path forward for the Terraria franchise and its fans is a very bright one! We expect to see you all back here next year and for many more years to come!
TALL TALES FROM TERRARIA TESTERS
We thought it might be fun for everyone to get a chance to hear a few stories from our Terraria testing crew.

DOYLEE Don't challenge the creator of the game to a copper shortsword duel. He will win in ways you don't initially expect, whether that be boulders or banishment.
MANAUSER One time I found an obscure bug in the king statue. Specifically, a lightning bug. We were testing 1.4 which added the NPC happiness system, and I took it upon myself to manually check every neighbor combination and biome preference. That all went fine, but I was using the king and queen statues to help with moving NPCs around and happened to find something completely different: The king statue could summon lightning bugs if there were any on the screen. That bug report got a surprised "Whaaaat" from Leinfors. But it turned out that the king statue was supposed to (and now does) work on the traveling merchant, but guess no one ever noticed it wasn't working because they didn't know it should. See, the traveling merchant is NPC 368 and the lightning bug is NPC 358 so a little typo was all it took to get a funny result.
SIGMA Greetings, Terrarians! You are probably reading this hoping for spoilers? Loki has been posting teasers for Terraria 1.4.5. At Re-Logic? They're actively working on Terraria 1.96.3!
Don't hold your breath waiting for Terraria 2 its at least 3000 years away.
Nah, just kidding. This is one of many amusing bugs that have come up during playtesting. After all, Terraria is a game where eating lunch in midair is a comparatively normal thing to do. When a game has existed for 13 years and has over 5000 items (and counting), there are going to be strange and unexpected interactions. One of the very early (if not first) bugs I reported as a tester:
When meteors were shown in the background before landing, they were initially visible in the Underworld.
Herein provides an interesting crossover between bugs and contributions. An early version of my painting Blessing from the Heavens was a reference to this. It had an Underworld frame and was intended to be found in Obsidian Towers. But the Towers were already quite full of paintings, so it was moved to the Floating Islands and given a skyware frame. Having the opportunity to make some paintings has been the biggest highlight of being involved with Terraria. I hope you like the paintings as much as we did making them! (Leinfors, I am grateful that you were able to make `Strange Growths cycle between the four painting types when placed. You are missed by us all.) Tester contributions are strictly cosmetic paintings, names, tooltips, etc. Any new content and the direction of the game is with Re-Logic and its developers. Ever noticed how all of the town slimes names start with S? That was somewhat coincidental. We contributed names for slimes on a spreadsheet. Eventually we noticed a pattern emerged: The majority of them started with S. The team decided to keep it that way. (Most of those references the wiki mentions are not actually references. It's coincidental the name is the same.) Speaking of references Contrary to what the wiki says, the in-game dog name Lucky has nothing to do with 101 Dalmatians. Its the name of my real-life dog. He is not a dalmatian. If you do want to find a new reference, theres another in-game dog name named after my real-life dog. His name comes from a TV show.
I made the Abigail screenshot that was used in the 1.4.3 release announcement. It was not used, but I also made an in-game screenshot with Deerclops, Chester and Wilson. With news about greedy corporations, abandoned Early Access launches, on-disc DLC, and mob votes to garner attention how has Terraria managed to live so long, and with so many free updates? The answer: Everyone in Re-Logic plays Terraria and enjoys it. They all want the best they can. Whether paid or volunteer, it really is a labour of love. It's been 5 years since I was asked to join the testing team and I've enjoyed every minute of it. Throughout the journey, I've met some amazing people and made very good friends. To Re-Logic: Thank you for the opportunity. I am grateful for it every day. To my fellow team members: You are some of the most amazing people I know. To the player base: Your enthusiasm, dedication and strong community are what has kept (and will keep) Terraria growing and expanding. Everything Re-Logic does, it does for you. -- Sigma
DISCIPILE One of the most memorable experiences Ive had so far in my time as a tester for Terraria was during the summer of 2022, where Redigit invited us to play through a yet-to-be-polished version of what, at the time, was called the everything seed (later known as the zenith and get fixed boi seeds). The most notable difference between what we played and what was released was the number of Queen Bee larvae scattered throughout the world (it has since been drastically reduced after this playthrough, due to the sheer number of accidental summons and therefore effective armageddons during the early game). There were times where Red got so fed up with the Queen Bee summons he would temporarily give himself a Meowmere and slay them all. However as amazing as all of this was to experience first hand, what I remember the most, and will likely never forget, was when we, the testers and developers of Terraria, were set to face off against the underworlds fiercest pre-hardmode foe, the Wall of Flesh only there was one unforeseen issue that was only discovered halfway through the fight: the world difficulty was set to effectively Master mode, whereas it should have been set to Expert. As such, we were set to face a Wall of Flesh with just over 200,000 health, and the encounter resulted in several dozen deaths, and the Wall of Flesh going from one side of the world, to the other, undefeated, with just under half of their health remaining. This was the single most scuffed boss battle I have ever encountered in almost 13 years of playing Terraria, and also the single most enjoyable. There was even a time during the fight where everyone in the world other than Redigit and I had been slain; to fight alongside the creator of Terraria as other testers and developers cheered us on as we fought against the Wall of Flesh was nothing short of an unforgettable experience to say the least.
JENOSIS Hello! Im Jenosis and Id like to share my experience in Terraria both before and after I became a tester! Before I played Terraria I was unironically in the camp of oh wow 2D Minecraft. It started in 2012 with a friend asking me to come over and play it with him for a weekend while his parents were out of town. It felt slow and kind of clunky at first, at least on console (PS3), but it started to get really good and before I knew it I was running around in Hell with a space laser gun re-enacting the whole plot of DOOM trying to find magic weapons. I returned home and asked my parents if I could download and play it on our family computer (which was quite ancient). I began to play it and forgot about it for a good bit (as it was my senior year in highschool), but returned to it shortly after my graduation after enrolling in Fall college classes. I found the Crimson and told my friend all about it and he spent hours trying to find it on his PS3. As Terraria grew and updated, so did I and eventually began to dabble in modding it with tAPI a few months before 1.3 came out. Come 1.3 in all of its QoL and much needed expansion on existing content I was having even more fun and tModLoader was just starting to become a thing. I got back into modding again and made even more friends while doing so. Come 2019 I had a hard time trying to keep up with everything in my life. I got something in my TCF inbox one day and it was Cenx reaching out to me asking if I wanted to become a tester. I felt butterflies in my stomach for the sole reason of being involved in one of my favorite all time games. The first day of setup was information and sensation overload, but I learned a lot more than I thought I was going to for my first day. Over the course of 1.4 Beta there was much to test and find bugs for; I happened to catch a lot of tile related bugs in the process. One of my favorites was being able to plant the vanity trees on gray bricks. Another bug I loved, that was unexplainable and couldnt repro even now, was the crystal sentry beams coming from the pet butterfly. Makes me wish we had a butterfly summon now. Seasons have come and gone; so have phases of testing beta updates. Lein had unexpectedly passed away leaving all of us distraught and lost without him. He was a great person and mentor who helped expand, and understand, my views on game development. To this day whenever I or other testers suggest something; I tend to look at it with a reasonably critical eye to see where said thing could fit into the grand scheme of the game. Im loving my time helping out and testing the harder bugs so I can help make Terraria a better and more bug free game. Heres to Terraria and its wonderful community Ive had the absolute pleasure of interacting with, cheers!
NIKE LEON My beta testing horror story is from back in 2015. After one of the updates my character saves started overwriting each other. Nobody else was having the bug. And then the next update mysteriously fixed it.We never could figure out why...
Terraria State of the Game - April 2024
The team really enjoyed seeing how everyone reacted to last month's spoilers - especially Roller Skates! We have been doing a team and tester playthrough on the Vampire Seed over the past two weeks, and we have an even greater appreciation for these new masters of mobility than ever before. Once you skate your way through the Wall of Flesh fight, you may never go back! As always, these playthroughs generate a ton of notes about balance and new ideas as well as highlighting some nasty bugs that we can then fix along the way. You know, things like "Oh oops, with the new item stacking feature, you can accidentally reforge multiple items at once... we better fix that before the Goblin Tinkerer gets so rich, he retires."
We can think of no better way to spend nearly 9,000 platinum... don't worry, we fixed this already.
Our Vampire playthrough ended as it should... with each of us cooking in the sun, except Redigit, who may or may not be a daywalker... That being said, how about a little spoiler for everyone - the latest in the many conveniences coming your way in Terraria 1.4.5!
Conveyor Belts have unlocked the Y Axis!

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 another Terraria: The Board Game designer diary. Were ramping up to the launch of the Kickstarter next month, so Ill be providing more gameplay info, showcasing new art, revealing a new boss sculpt and talking about UKGE, the UKs biggest tabletop gaming convention. If you dont want to read the diary, but still want to sign up for launch info, just visit Get Ready for Terraria: The Board Game! (were almost at 24,000 Terrarians!)
--- How on Earth Will Terraria work as a Board Game? Understandably, lots of Terraria players have asked this question. The videogame has a huge amount of content and features complex mechanisms that are usually handled by code behind the scenes; how could that possibly be achieved using cardboard? Were also keenly aware that tabletop games based on videogames dont always capture the essence of the game theyre based on, so we understand if youre feeling sceptical. From the outset, weve been committed to creating a Terraria board game, not a board game with a Terraria theme. Its a huge challenge, but we want the game to be faithful to the world that Re-Logic have created. So how do we turn a huge sandbox game into a tabletop experience? How do we make it feel like Terraria? A new world each time you play: Using a simple minimap and biome tile system, youll generate a unique world during each game of Terraria: The Board Game. Choose an evil biome (or randomise it), build your hidden minimap and reveal new world tiles as you travel around the world. With each flip of a tile, experience the excitement of discovering new biomes to explore, chests to open and enemies to fight!
The freedom to choose: Player choice is a core principle of Terraria. Want to build a Hellavator? Go for it. Want to run to the ocean? You can, whether its a good idea or not! Youll choose which objective chains to attempt in each game (many of which youll recognise as achievements from the videogame) and use a small personal deck of cards to generate action points; its then up to you how to spend them.
Dig, fight, explore, build: Use your action points to move around the world, or convert them with your starting copper equipment cards to dig tunnels, mine ores and gems, chop down trees for wood or fight enemies for loot. Building a base of houses will unlock crafting stations and spawn helpful NPCs who will heal you, sell useful items and provide backup in sticky situations.
Character customisation: Using armor sets (printed on transparent cards that overlay your character board) and upgraded equipment cards, you can choose a playstyle that suits you. By purchasing new, more powerful cards for your deck and scrapping those you no longer need, you can personalise your experience even further; thats the beauty of deckbuilding. Maybe youre into sword-swinging melee fights, or sneaky long-range strikes, or would prefer to unleash a barrage of magic attacks. Perhaps you just want to visit every corner of the world, or collect as many resources as possible; the choice is yours.
Enemies and Boss Battles: As you traverse the world and spelunk underground, youll encounter over 30 different enemy types, including slimes, zombies, antlions, skeletons, bats, demon eyes, worms, salamanders and voodoo demons. Youll use a simple dice battling system to fight enemies and gain loot; upgraded weapons will grant access to more powerful dice and by using action cards, youll be able to influence encounters in your favour by weakening your foes, buffing your character, rerolling your attacks and more Fight King Slime, Queen Bee, Eye of Cthulhu, Brain of Cthulhu, Eater of Worlds and Wall of Flesh in epic boss battles using unique modular miniatures, which include a shrinking King Slime and Wall of Flesh with removable eye and mouthparts!
(Be sure to read on for the reveal of the Eater of Worlds miniature!) Co-operative play for 1-4 Terrarians: The game supports solo play, or multiplayer games up to 4 players. Share resources, build bases as a team and fight enemies together. With cards that benefit you *and* other players, you can create memorable moments for everyone at the table! --- New Art: King Slime!
George has knocked it out of the park with this painting; everyones favourite gelatinous boss and the poor enveloped ninja! Let us know what you think in the comments! --- New Sculpt: Eater of Worlds! Our final boss sculpt arrived this week; the Eater of Worlds! This miniature will also be modular; when EoW is sufficiently damaged, the miniature will split.
--- Meet Us at UKGE 2024!
From May 31st to June 2nd, well be showing Terraria: The Board Game at UK Games Expo (UKGE) held in Birmingham, UK. If youre coming to the show, please stop by and say hello; youll find us at the booth 1-774 (in Hall 1). Youll be able to play the game, chat with us about the design, take pictures at our life-size King Slime photobooth and win free merch at our Terraria-themed beanbag toss, courtesy of Re-Logic and the terraria.shop crew! Its going to be a lot of fun and wed love to see you there. --- Critter Recap Last month, we asked for your favourite critters; were going to be adding as many as we can to the games biome tiles. We had some great suggestions, including squirrels, seagulls, seahorse, mystic frogs, grubby, sluggy, dolphins, bunnies, owls and ducks but let us know in the comments if weve missed any that youd like to see! --- Reforge, Anyone? Finally, we wanted to share a meme we put together which proved very popular; everyones favourite goblin-shaped piggy bank!
--- Dont Miss Out! If you havent already, sign up at Get Ready for Terraria: The Board Game! and be sure to click through to the Kickstarter notify me page. Wed be very grateful if you could share the link with fellow Terrarians via social media; youre always welcome to tag us in using @paperfortgames. You can also follow us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Until next time!

Greetings Terrarians!
Spring is finally here - and with it, warmer weather, green plants, and colorful flowers. We noticed lots of speculation that spring would bring the release of 1.4.5 - sorry to say that those guesses were incorrect. The team still has quite a few things that we want to get to, and you never know what else might come up. Terraria development has always been sort of organic in that way. Rest assured that we share your desire to get this out just as soon as possible - but we have always stuck to the mantra that we will only put out an update when we feel it is fully complete and ready. So, hang with us just a bit longer, it should be well worth the wait!
That said, let's take a moment to meander through the garden of Terraria news and spoilers shall we?

With each flip of a tile, experience the excitement of discovering new biomes to explore, chests to open and enemies to fight!
The freedom to choose: Player choice is a core principle of Terraria. Want to build a Hellavator? Go for it. Want to run to the ocean? You can, whether its a good idea or not! Youll choose which objective chains to attempt in each game (many of which youll recognise as achievements from the videogame) and use a small personal deck of cards to generate action points; its then up to you how to spend them.
Dig, fight, explore, build: Use your action points to move around the world, or convert them with your starting copper equipment cards to dig tunnels, mine ores and gems, chop down trees for wood or fight enemies for loot. Building a base of houses will unlock crafting stations and spawn helpful NPCs who will heal you, sell useful items and provide backup in sticky situations.
Character customisation: Using armor sets (printed on transparent cards that overlay your character board) and upgraded equipment cards, you can choose a playstyle that suits you. By purchasing new, more powerful cards for your deck and scrapping those you no longer need, you can personalise your experience even further; thats the beauty of deckbuilding. Maybe youre into sword-swinging melee fights, or sneaky long-range strikes, or would prefer to unleash a barrage of magic attacks. Perhaps you just want to visit every corner of the world, or collect as many resources as possible; the choice is yours.
Enemies and Boss Battles: As you traverse the world and spelunk underground, youll encounter over 30 different enemy types, including slimes, zombies, antlions, skeletons, bats, demon eyes, worms, salamanders and voodoo demons. Youll use a simple dice battling system to fight enemies and gain loot; upgraded weapons will grant access to more powerful dice and by using action cards, youll be able to influence encounters in your favour by weakening your foes, buffing your character, rerolling your attacks and more Fight King Slime, Queen Bee, Eye of Cthulhu, Brain of Cthulhu, Eater of Worlds and Wall of Flesh in epic boss battles using unique modular miniatures, which include a shrinking King Slime and Wall of Flesh with removable eye and mouthparts!
(Be sure to read on for the reveal of the Eater of Worlds miniature!) Co-operative play for 1-4 Terrarians: The game supports solo play, or multiplayer games up to 4 players. Share resources, build bases as a team and fight enemies together. With cards that benefit you *and* other players, you can create memorable moments for everyone at the table! --- New Art: King Slime!
George has knocked it out of the park with this painting; everyones favourite gelatinous boss and the poor enveloped ninja! Let us know what you think in the comments! --- New Sculpt: Eater of Worlds! Our final boss sculpt arrived this week; the Eater of Worlds! This miniature will also be modular; when EoW is sufficiently damaged, the miniature will split.
--- Meet Us at UKGE 2024!
From May 31st to June 2nd, well be showing Terraria: The Board Game at UK Games Expo (UKGE) held in Birmingham, UK. If youre coming to the show, please stop by and say hello; youll find us at the booth 1-774 (in Hall 1). Youll be able to play the game, chat with us about the design, take pictures at our life-size King Slime photobooth and win free merch at our Terraria-themed beanbag toss, courtesy of Re-Logic and the terraria.shop crew! Its going to be a lot of fun and wed love to see you there. --- Critter Recap Last month, we asked for your favourite critters; were going to be adding as many as we can to the games biome tiles. We had some great suggestions, including squirrels, seagulls, seahorse, mystic frogs, grubby, sluggy, dolphins, bunnies, owls and ducks but let us know in the comments if weve missed any that youd like to see! --- Reforge, Anyone? Finally, we wanted to share a meme we put together which proved very popular; everyones favourite goblin-shaped piggy bank!

Terraria: Undeluxe Edition - Out Now!
[ 2024-04-01 17:10:16 CET ] [ Original post ]
We have heard the Terraria Community's cries to bring back the versions of Terraria from long long ago for many years now. Frankly, we appreciate the nostalgia as much as anyone, but to say that the daunting task of trying to remove 13 years of content from the game has held us back from doing so would be a massive understatement!
That being said, we are pleased to share with you all that starting today, the Terraria Undeluxe Edition is available for fans everywhere to enjoy!
Highlights of this massive downdate include:
DIG
- 12 Biomes to explore - who needs locations like the Ice Biome... too darned cold!
- Be careful not to trip as you leap over single-high blocks
- Rope? Minecarts? Blocks and platforms will suffice.
- The Crimson was deemed too nasty and the Hallow too sweet, so they both have been kicked to the curb.
- Demon Altars (those purple spiky things) are now immortal - resistance is futile!
- Cacti can and will damage you - I mean they ARE covered in needles after all
- Built-in Bunny Protection will prevent you from accidental Bunny-cide.
- Delve deep into caves free from the threat of boulders and traps
FIGHT
- Over 360 items/weapons/armor/etc. to find and craft
- 45 enemies will seek to defeat you at every turn!
- Defeat the Goblin Army to obtain the greatest mobility accessory in the game, the Rocket Boots!
- To maintain accuracy the Scraggler was re-added then promptly removed
- Four challenging boss encounters await
- Face the terrifying Final Boss, Skeletron!
- Challenge the endgame Dungeon for fortune and glory!
BUILD
- All 8 NPCs are now clearly labeled by their role so you don't have to remember that Helen is your Nurse
- Enjoy the streamlined experience of items without any nasty modifiers - no Goblin Tinkerer to take your hard-earned coins here!
- Speaking of coins, you are going to need to carry them with you if you want to buy something.
- Valid housing? Figure it out yourself.
- Axes are now required to chop up all wood blocks - we don't want any accidents!
- Chests contain a whopping 20 storage slots for you to stash your piles of loot!
- Avoid accidentally using items by being sure they are in your hotbar prior to use - waste not, want not!
- Wire? Where you are going, you won't need wires.
- Paints? Dyes? Angles and slopes? Who needs that kind of variety in their life?
Terraria State of the Game - March 2024
We do hope everyone enjoyed last month's trip down Terraria 1.4.5's memory lane. Don't worry, we have some fresh spoilers for you this time. That said, we remain hard at work each day adding/tweaking/fixing new stuff, and are making great progress. At this point, the team is putting out at least one new build per week! We still do not have a final sense for when 1.4.5 will arrive (nor what all might still be added!) - as always, the timing will be "when it's ready".
New Menu for Banners - Earned banners can now be claimed instead of dropping in the world and filling up inventory while exploring. This is something the community has requested many times over the years, and we are glad to report that it's coming in 1.4.5!
New Roller Skates will allow you to scoot around easily while placing blocks or platforms...
...and will even let you grind the rails!
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.
Planning for something really cool that will hopefully be able to be shared next week...
Hello everyone! The tModLoader team and our amazing community of contributors continues to improve tModLoader. On April 1st the monthly update release of tModLoader will go live. This month's release contains fixes to long-standing issues as well as the release of the new mod syncing system previewed last month. This month we've fixed several issues, the most impactful being the issue with corrupted config.json files preventing the game from loading for some users. The mod loading and syncing logic has been reworked in this month's release. Users will see a new menu when joining a multiplayer server if mods need to be reloaded, explaining which mods will be downloaded, enabled, or disabled. Finally, mod loading speed has been improved by roughly 10%. We expect to see faster mod loading times and more consistent syncing of mods in multiplayer. Mod makers can look forward to native sand support, active entity iterators, improved Asset documentation, and much more. 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. 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.
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!
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)
The team has been hard at work keeping up with the relentless pace of new development versions coming from the PC side of the house while we continue to explore and test Crossplay scenarios in parallel. So far, so good on all fronts - but, of course, we still cannot make any promises on that whole Crossplay thing. We are very pleased to be back this month with a brand new spoiler...
Kites no longer require players to hold them in hand in order to soar far and wide on the Spring breeze... Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

Greetings Terrarians!
Another month has flown by - seriously, 2024 feels like it is moving along at warp speed. The development teams have continued to make great progress on Terraria 1.4.5, and we are back this month with some fresh spoilers that we hope everyone will enjoy. The team has recently been diving into some multiplayer testing that has triggered a few ideas within the team that we are planning to explore in the near future. Beyond that, we are seeing lots of good progress on the Board Game and Graphic Novel fronts. Really feels like as the weather is starting to heat up, so are all of the things in the world of Terraria. We may even have a little special something to share with everyone next week.
All that said and without further ado... let's get to it!

Terraria State of the Game - February 2024
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.
---
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! --- [previewyoutube=ssdHSDjuNjY;full][/previewyoutube]Take your throwing to the next level with the Magic Yo Yo Bag! --- [previewyoutube=sYasdtchrsg;full][/previewyoutube] [previewyoutube=92rRvE56pKA;full][/previewyoutube] New music tracks coming from Scott Lloyd Shelly - including some bosses finally getting their due! ---
Tree vs Axe - which side were you on? Either way, we all win with some new items! ---
Something fishy is definitely going on with these changes to fishing. --- [previewyoutube=MaemaMglZRU;full][/previewyoutube] [previewyoutube=h1jUekjXYdA;full][/previewyoutube]Rubblemaker has been hard at work upping its game! ---
Brand new toggleable filters - head back to the 80's CRT-style! --- [previewyoutube=eI2Ct6hm1kY;full][/previewyoutube]Spectator Mode for those unfortunate moments where you have prematurely perished but want to peek in on the party. ---
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.

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?

Terraria Makeship Series - Silver Armor
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:
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!
[ 2024-02-19 15:45:24 CET ] [ Original post ]
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.
TERRARIA SILVER ARMOR PLUSH - ORDER NOW!
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
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!
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.
On top of working on the update? Preparing for some really good planning talks to go over what else needs doing for 1.4.5... and what comes next.
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.

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? [previewyoutube=kt77BbP798c;full][/previewyoutube] 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
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 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! --- Dont Miss Out!

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
TERRARIA 1.4.5 - SLIMEVOLUTION AND AXEARANGS, OH MY!
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!
STEAM WORKSHOP NEWS

WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?
On top of working on the update? Preparing for some really good planning talks to go over what else needs doing for 1.4.5... and what comes next.
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. 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.
TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP

WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?
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
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? [previewyoutube=kt77BbP798c;full][/previewyoutube] 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
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! https://www.instagram.com/p/C0gwVZnhvMR/
--- 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.

In the meantime, we made a little festive build for you - one that may or may not contain spoilers. Enjoy! [previewyoutube=h1jUekjXYdA;full][/previewyoutube] What a festive tree indeed! Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME UPDATES
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! https://www.instagram.com/p/C0gwVZnhvMR/
--- 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
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!

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.

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

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).

Terraria Makeship Series - Hallowed Armor
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:
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!
[ 2023-11-17 20:07:05 CET ] [ Original post ]
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!

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
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!
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.
Thinking about another team playthrough - this time on a World Seed unlike any we have played before.
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.
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!
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)
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!
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 . --- Dont Miss Out!

Colors for Issue 5 are well underway, as is the lineart for Issue 6. We have also spent a bit of time coming up with the extra goodies that will roll out alongside the Book Two Issues (5-7) - for those that are interested. Expect to see some familiar items alongside some brand new offerings in those packages. We expect to be able to announce the details around Issue 5 sometime in the next week or so. To celebrate the occasion, 50 Amp has a pretty awesome giveaway planned, so you will definitely want to stay tuned for that!

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
TERRARIA 1.4.5 - BAT!
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!
STEAM WORKSHOP NEWS
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.
WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?
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.
TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP
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!
WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?
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!
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.
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 State of the Game - September 2023
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!
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.
Scoping out a few of the larger ideas we might explore, prepping for the Holidays...
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:
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!
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)
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!

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
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!
The sneaky Goblin Scout and mysterious Traveling Merchant, in the same chibi style as the stickers from Book One
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.

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
TERRARIA 1.4.5 - CHOPPING AWAY AT THE REMAINING WORKLOAD
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!

WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?
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
TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP
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!
WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?
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!

TERRARIA MERCHANDISE UPDATES
TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME UPDATES
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).
Dont Miss Out! If you havent already, please sign up at TERRARIA: THE BOARD GAME NEWS SIGN-UP LINK and be sure to click through to the Kickstarter notify me page. Wed be very grateful if you could share the link with fellow Terrarians via social media; youre always welcome to tag us in using @paperfortgames. Until next time! --- Sign up for the latest and greatest news on Terraria: the Board Game via the link below: TERRARIA: THE BOARD GAME NEWS SIGN-UP LINK In case you missed the big reveal, 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
TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES
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!

OTHER COMMUNITY NEWS
RE-LOGIC STANCE ON UNITY & SUPPORT FOR OPEN SOURCE GAME ENGINES
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
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.

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.
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!
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)
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? [previewyoutube=ssdHSDjuNjY;full][/previewyoutube] Yoyo's are evolving - nature always finds a way... 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 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. Dont Miss Out! If you havent already, please sign up at Get Ready for Terraria: The Board Game! and be sure to click through to the Kickstarter notify me page.

The first reviews and revisions for the script for Issue 6 are nearing completion - and we just received the lineart/inks for the bulk of Issue 5 for review as of this morning. This keeps us on track to be able to deliver the next part of our epic Terraria adventure in the near future!

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! As for our sneak peek this month, let's take a break from all of these goblins and check in with an even more odd visitor...

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?

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? [previewyoutube=ssdHSDjuNjY;full][/previewyoutube] Yoyo's are evolving - nature always finds a way...

TERRARIA x MADRINAS COLLABORATION
A few months ago, Madrinas Coffee reached out to the Re-Logic team to create some amazing coffees from the world of Terraria.

The Terraria Team has been grinding through these coffees everyday and we hope youll enjoy them too!

TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME UPDATES
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. Dont Miss Out!

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.
TERRARIA x MADRINAS LIMITED EDITION COLLECTOR'S BOX SET
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.
DRYAD-INSPIRED: WILD HONEY COLD BREW
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

Terraria State of the Game - July 2023
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!
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.
Getting this update done and out to you is our only development focus right now!
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.
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!
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)
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

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

The first rough lineart pages for Issue 5 are starting to arrive - and things are looking really good so far! What have Vale and crew been up to since defeating the evil Eye of Cthulhu, and where are they headed next? You will have to stay tuned to find out... but we will be sharing some spoilers along the way. Oh, and the first passes on the script for Issue 6 are under review this week! As in prior months, if you have any outstanding issues with your order from Issues 1-4, we do not want to miss the chance to take care of you - please reach out to help@50ampproductions.com immediately so that we can take care of things 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! So, we have seen a lot of Goblins in the past State of the Game posts... but we haven't seen perhaps the most famous of them all - until now!
Here to take all of your hard earned coins is none other than the Goblin Tinkerer!
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! [previewyoutube=WWH9RetgLJA;full][/previewyoutube]
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!
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.

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
TERRARIA 1.4.5 - SEEDS, SEEDS EVERYWHERE

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.

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!

TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES
The first rough lineart pages for Issue 5 are starting to arrive - and things are looking really good so far! What have Vale and crew been up to since defeating the evil Eye of Cthulhu, and where are they headed next? You will have to stay tuned to find out... but we will be sharing some spoilers along the way. Oh, and the first passes on the script for Issue 6 are under review this week! As in prior months, if you have any outstanding issues with your order from Issues 1-4, we do not want to miss the chance to take care of you - please reach out to help@50ampproductions.com immediately so that we can take care of things 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! So, we have seen a lot of Goblins in the past State of the Game posts... but we haven't seen perhaps the most famous of them all - until now!
Here to take all of your hard earned coins is none other than the Goblin Tinkerer!
OTHER COMMUNITY NEWS
TREE VS AXE - WHICH SIDE WERE YOU ON?
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
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!
TERRARIA MEDIA SPOTLIGHT
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 GUILDS FOR HOPE CHARITY FUNDRAISER
The Terraria team is thrilled to be participating in the second annual United Servers of Discord Alliances Guilds For Hope charity fundraiser! Were teaming up with many other communities to raise money for Give Kids The World, a highly respected non-profit that fulfills many of the wishes for the Make a Wish foundation. Last year we reached our goal and successfully raised more than $7.5k for children with terminal diseases. This year our goal is $10k+. 100% of all funds raised are processed by the charity and go towards helping children with critical conditions. Follow the link and participate today!

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 - June 2023
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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)
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
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!

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 NEWS SIGN-UP LINK In case you missed the big reveal, 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
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?

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!

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!
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!

Terraria State of the Game - May 2023
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!
Click the banner above to check out the Terraria Workshop! 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.
Helping out on the board game as time allows, banging away at the remaining to-do list on the update, dreaming and brainstorming.
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.
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!
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)
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!

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

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!

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
TERRARIA - 1.4.5 PROGRESSING NICELY
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!
STEAM WORKSHOP NEWS
Click the banner above to check out the Terraria Workshop! 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.
WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?
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.
TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP
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!
WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?
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
- 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

TERRARIA CHIBICHAN MINIFIGURES - PREORDERS UNDERWAY!
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.

Terraria: The Board Game - Coming Soon!
So, now that we have your attention, what's the timeline and the plan for Terraria: the Board Game?
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!
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.
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!

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.

"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 Minifigure Preorders Now Open!
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:
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?
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.

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 State of the Game - April 2023
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!

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.
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.
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!
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)
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!

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!
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!

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
TERRARIA - 1.4.5 IS DRAWING EVER-CLOSER
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!

WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?
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.
TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP
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!
WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?
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!

TERRARIA MERCHANDISE UPDATES
COMING SOON: TERRARIA CHIBICHAN MINIFIGURES!
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!
TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES
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
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!
Click the banner above to check out the Terraria Workshop! Over 81,000 packs and worlds so far?! You are missing out if you haven't taken the time to check out the Terraria Steam Workshop.

One eye on crossplay Another on what is next A big year ahead
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.
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!
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!
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)
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?

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.
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.
We saw so many amazing tributes to Jason over the past month, we felt like we would be remiss if we did not share a few of them with everyone. 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.

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!

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?

Terraria State of the Game - January 2023
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!
Click the banner above to check out the Terraria Workshop! Over 76,000 packs and worlds so far?! You are missing out if you haven't taken the time to check out the Terraria Steam Workshop. Still working to find time for that cleanup - anyone with inappropriate or stolen content should not interpret a lack of action thus far as permission or approval.
Contemplating the future, dreaming of a world where Terraria Crossplay is a reality...
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.
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!
As we shared above, we will continue to make TML better and better - and try our best to get 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)
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.

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
TERRARIA - 1.4.5 IS UNDERWAY!
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.
TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP
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!
WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?
As we shared above, we will continue to make TML better and better - and try our best to get 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 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!

Terraria State of the Game - November 2022
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.

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.
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!
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!
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!

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!

Greetings Terrarians!
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!

TERRARIA TOWN SCENE DESKTOP ART You can pick either of these two new pieces over at Artovision's Website - and be sure to check out the rest of the Terraria Collection while you are there!

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 1.4.5 is Coming in 2023 - including Terraria x Dead Cells!
[ 2022-11-07 16:30:05 CET ] [ Original post ]
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!
[url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/588650/view/3385044600557418089]
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
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!
Alternatively, you can report things in the LOL launch thread or on the pinned discussions here on Steam.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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)
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!
- 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!

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!
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!

In case you missed it, at the start of October we announced the latest and greatest Terraria Halloween Contest: The Labor of Hallow's Eve! We have categories for Pumpkin Carving, Costumes, Artwork, and more - with some pretty epic prizes for the winners. The Grand Prize winner receives a real-life Meowmere Sword! Entries are still open for the next few days (until October 31 at 11:59pm ET) - so if you haven't gotten your entry in yet, there is still time.

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!

Greetings, Terrarians!

[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.
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:
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.
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!
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!

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!
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!
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.
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!

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!
[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!?
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!
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!
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!

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.
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. ---
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. ---
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. ---
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
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!
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!

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
INVENTORY IMPROVEMENTS
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.
KEEP COUNT WITH NUMERICAL HEALTH BARS
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!
ROPE INTERACTION IMPROVEMENTS
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!

WORLD SEEDS
GET FIXED BOI - THE ZENITH SEED
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!
DON'T DIG UP - THE REMIX SEED
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!
NO TRAPS - THE NO TRAPS SEED
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.
IMPROVEMENTS TO EXISTING WORLD SEEDS
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!

NEW ADDITIONS
INTRODUCING - THE TOWN SLIMES
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!
NEW USEFUL ITEMS TO AID YOUR ADVENTURES
[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!?
NEW BLOCKS AND DECOR
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!
NEW BUILDER TOOLS
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!
ECHO AND ILLUMINANT COATINGS
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!

BALANCE & MELEE OVERHAUL
MELEE OVERHAUL
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.
GLOBAL WEAPON TWEAKS
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. ---
MELEE WEAPON STAT BUFFS
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. ---
WEAPON REWORKS
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. ---
NIGHT'S EDGE/TERRA BLADE SWORD QUEST LINE
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
BOSS TWEAKS
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!
PUMPKIN MOON OVERHAUL
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!

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!
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:
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
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.

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! Get your orders in now for Issue Three (and Issue Two while there is still time) and mark your calendars for the big reveal of the final part of Book One, Issue 4! 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!

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!

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING COSTS UPDATE
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).

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.

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:
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
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.
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.
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!
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. 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 Two! Clicking any package name or the package banner above it will take you to the Order page for Issue Two.

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! Get your orders in now for Issue Two (and Issue One if you missed that) and mark your calendars for the reveal and release of Issues 3-4. 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!

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!

IMPORTANT NOTE FROM 50 AMP PRODUCTIONS
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).

Terraria State of the Game - August 2022
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...
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
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.
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.
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!
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!
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
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!
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)
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)...
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.

These will be available to everyone that uses the Official Terraria Wiki very soon, so keep an eye out!
There is only one week left to participate in our Guilds for Hope charity event. We have already helped raise thousands of dollars for an incredible cause and we are closing in on our goal!

Winners will receive cool prizes.

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
TERRARIA - LABOR OF LOVE UPDATE
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...
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.
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.

Greetings, Terrarians!
The day is finally here - orders for the first Issue of Book One of the Terraria Graphic Novel Series are now open! In case you missed our earlier announcement about the series as a whole, you can check out those details HERE. The team at Re-Logic in conjunction with our partners at 50 Amp Productions is very excited to be able to roll out the first part of Book One at long last to all of you. The 50 Amp team has also gone above and beyond the Graphic Novel itself and put together a few additional collectibles that fans can pick up as well should you feel so inclined.
With all that said, let's dive right in to how it will all work, what is available and when, etc. shall we?
Overall, the plan is 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!

If you just want Issue 1 and that's it, we have that for you - but we have also put together a solid handful of additional collectibles to celebrate the occasion that folks can pick up in the other packages if they so choose.

Terraria State of the Game - July 2022
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...
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:
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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!
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)
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.
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!
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!)

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...
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!
The Terraria Lego Ideas concept that we had mentioned for the past few State of the Game posts has reached the 10,000 Supporter goal that Lego sets for things to move on to the next phase. We have tried to reach out in parallel to see if we can help enable things along the way. 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!
[ 2022-07-07 19:06:43 CET ] [ Original post ]
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
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!

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)
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.
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: [quote]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[/quote]
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!
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
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!
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)
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.

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
TERRARIA - LABOR OF LOVE UPDATE
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!

Terraria State of the Game - May 2022
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!
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:
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...
Remember that absolutely beautiful Coral build from last month's State of the Game? Well... about that...

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.
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)
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!

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
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.

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.
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
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)

PARITY IS HERE - FOR NOW - BUT WHAT'S NEXT?!
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!

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.

r/terraria MILLION SUBSCRIBER MILESTONE
We are nearly to one million r/terraria subscribers! We anticipate crossing the milestone in the next few days.

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.

Terraria Turns Eleven - Town Slimes Are Coming to Celebrate the Occasion!
[ 2022-05-16 17:20:41 CET ] [ Original post ]
11 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.
Which Town Slime are you hoping will move in with you?
Terraria State of the Game - April 2022
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!
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 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?!
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.
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)
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
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!

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.

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)
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.

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.

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!
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!
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?
WHAT'S DIFFERENT?
- 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.
WHAT REMAINS THE SAME?
- 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.
WHAT DO WE NEED FROM YOU?
- 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.
Official Terraria Wiki Feedback Thread on TCF
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!

Terraria State of the Game - February 2022
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!
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!
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?!
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.
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)
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!
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.
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!

Perhaps you have seen several images of the iconic Terraria rainbow cat sword in real life floating around (you definitely have if you follow our socials!). 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. Terraria - Meowmere Sword Limited Edition | Fire & Steel Exclusive
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!

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!

Terraria 1.4.3.3 - Steam Deck Optimization Update Release Notes
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:
This gives you access to a handful of often-used commands right at your fingertips:
This provides the player with a manual cursor, akin to using a mouse or a trackpad on a laptop
These will give you easy and ready access to all of your minimap and game window zoom options:
- 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!

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:
TERRARIA DEDICATED SERVER APPLICATION (1.4.3.4)
LATEST LOCALIZATION FILES FOR LANGUAGE PACKS (1.4.3.4)
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:
Left Trackpad
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
Right Trackpad
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
Back Buttons
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
Battery Life
- 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
GENERAL CHANGES
- 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
DEERCLOPS
- 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.
NPC HAPPINESS CHANGES
- 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

Happy Monday, Terrarians!
Our good friend Chippy is getting ever so close to the one million subscribers mark (only 22k remaining - if you have not subscribed to this amazing channel yet, what are you waiting for?!)... and in celebration of that and his constant positive impact on the community, we worked with him to put together the little video below. This is definitely something that you will want to check out, trust us.
[previewyoutube=f54-UKvcGVs;full][/previewyoutube]
We hope you enjoy it - and once again, we are beyond thankful for all of your support: it inspires us to great things!
Terraria State of the Game - January 2022
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! ---
Click the banner above to read the 2021 TapTap Awards reveal 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!
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?
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!
The best party is a Costume Party, am I right? -----
What could possibly go wrong when you combine every seed together and toss it into For the Worthy Mastermode? -----

What a horrible night to have a curse... on this simply amazing map.
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?
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)
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!
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 [previewyoutube=vF-CE0yDfkU;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 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!

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!

Terraria Wins the 2021 Labor of Love Steam Award!
[ 2022-01-03 18:10:31 CET ] [ Original post ]
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?

2021 STEAM AWARDS WINNERS
Terraria: 10 Years of Labor & Love - Vote for Terraria Today!
[ 2021-12-22 20:08:44 CET ] [ Original post ]
You have done it again, Terrarians! Terraria is officially a Nominee for the 2021 Labor of Love Steam Award! On behalf of the entire Re-Logic development team, a sincere thank you to each and every Terrarian out there for your support.
Once again, we are up against some really big games for this award - but it sure would be fantastic to see us pull the win over the line during Terraria's 10th Anniversary Year.
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. We can earnestly say that at least as far as we are concerned, Terraria is the definition of a Labor of Love for our little team. 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!
Terraria State of the Game - November 2021
In case you missed the big launch last week, we just released the second major crossover update in the history of Terraria - this time with the long-running hit indie survival game, Don't Starve Together! Lots of fun new DST-related content for players to explore here - including the terrifying DeerClops boss, a handful of new items, and a brand new world seed that brings Don't Starve Together gameplay elements into the world of Terraria. Check it out, and let us know what you think! [previewyoutube=5ybulMdPLKY;full][/previewyoutube] For full details, click the banner above to head to the launch post and changelog!
TERRARIA - LABOR OF LOVE & AUTUMN SALE
It is that time of year again, loyal Terrarians! We come to you to humbly ask for your support towards nominating Terraria for the Labor of Love Steam Award. The game we all love so much has had the distinction of being nominated several times... but never quite pulling down that elusive win. Let's make 2021 - the 10th anniversary of the game, 10 years of updates, 10 years of amazing fun with family and friends - be the year that the Terraria Community brings home the prize! To support Terraria for this award, please click the image above to submit your nominations! Oh, and Terraria is half-off during the Autumn Sale! Click the image below to head to the Store Page and pick up a copy today!
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 36,000 packs and worlds so far, which is just insane! If you have not checked out the Workshop yet, what are you waiting for?
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!
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.
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!). Our main development focus is currently on the following: - A final redesign of audio systems (1.4_soundfix) - Data-oriented rework of tiles (1.4_data_oriented_tiles) - Topological sorting-based redesign of interface layers and world generation passes - Post-merge improvements for the asset system redesign - Side-experiments with bettering the overall API designs 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)
Greetings, Terrarians! The team has mostly been focused on Switch Development... but we also took some time out to hammer away at some Console fixes! These will be in your hands soon - here is the list!
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
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.
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!
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.
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!

Greetings Terrarians!
The weather is getting colder, the leaves are falling, but things could not be more red hot in terms of news around Terraria development, merchandise, and more! We have so much going on right now, even squeezing in this State of the Game is a challenge. Never fear, however, for we are here to share the latest and greatest across the world of Terraria. Let's get to it!
PC - RE-LOGIC
AN EYE FOR AN EYE - TERRARIA x DON'T STARVE TOGETHER IS OUT NOW!
In case you missed the big launch last week, we just released the second major crossover update in the history of Terraria - this time with the long-running hit indie survival game, Don't Starve Together! Lots of fun new DST-related content for players to explore here - including the terrifying DeerClops boss, a handful of new items, and a brand new world seed that brings Don't Starve Together gameplay elements into the world of Terraria. Check it out, and let us know what you think! [previewyoutube=5ybulMdPLKY;full][/previewyoutube] For full details, click the banner above to head to the launch post and changelog!

STEAM WORKSHOP NEWS
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 36,000 packs and worlds so far, which is just insane! If you have not checked out the Workshop yet, what are you waiting for?
TERRARIA WORKSHOP DEVELOPER'S CHOICE SELECTIONS
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!
WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?
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!). Our main development focus is currently on the following: - A final redesign of audio systems (1.4_soundfix) - Data-oriented rework of tiles (1.4_data_oriented_tiles) - Topological sorting-based redesign of interface layers and world generation passes - Post-merge improvements for the asset system redesign - Side-experiments with bettering the overall API designs 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 4, XBOX ONE, Nintendo Switch - DR STUDIOS

NINTENDO SWITCH
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
We are pleased to reveal that the launch date will be January 4, 2022!
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!
TERRARIA: JOURNEY'S END MOBILE BUG REPORTS
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: 10 Years of Labor & Love

The game we all love so much has had the distinction of being nominated several times... but never quite pulling down that elusive win.

An Eye For An Eye: Terraria x Don't Starve Together Crossover Update Out Now!
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:
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?
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!
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!
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
We are working through Klei's merchandise partners at FreshMerch on this series of crossover merchandise items, using the key art for this update! Click the banner below to check out and pick up anything that catches your eye!
The Eye of Cthulhu done Don't Starve Style is here in two animated stickers and as an avatar frame! Also inspired by Terraria's many prismatic weapons, we have a prismatic avatar frame of rainbow-y goodness for you! ---
Chester and Deerclops in pixelated form make their appearance alongside a pair of fire and water pixel animated frames!

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

TERRARIA 1.4.3 UPDATED DEDICATED SERVER AND RESOURCE PACK FILES
TERRARIA DEDICATED SERVER - 1.4.3 TERRARIA LOCALIZATION FILES (FOR USE IN RESOURCE PACKS) - 1.4.3
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.
Eye Wonder
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.
Peep this
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.
Constant Style
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!
Get 'em while they're hot!
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 State of the Game - October 2021
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!
Excited about the upcoming crossover? No better time to pick up a copy of Terraria for yourself - or as a treat for a friend - than right now! For the duration of the Steam Halloween Sale, Terraria will be half off! Click the banner above to head to our Steam Store Page and grab yours now!
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 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?
As in the past, we are gathering up our possible selections that we will reveal in a future State of the Game!
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.
Hello everyone! The work with and on the tModLoader 1.4 Alpha on Steam continues (thanks for all your feedback and help thus far!) - you can click the link below to find out more. 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)
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!
HOTFIX #1 - OCTOBER 1, 2021- Release v1.4.0.5.4.2
HOTFIX #2 - OCTOBER 7, 2021 - Release v1.4.0.5.4.3, Build 759
HOTFIX #2 - OCTOBER 19, 2021 - Release v1.4.0.5.4.4, Build 765
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!
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!
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.
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!
The merchandise hub has a few new items added over the past month... and there are a lot more coming very soon! Big plans here for the 2021 Holiday season - so this is a place you will want to watch for all of your gift-giving (or rewarding yourself terraria ) needs!

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. That said, what better time than the State of the Game to check in on news from our existing partners as well as to shine a light on some other things that are in the works?
Our fantastic partners over at Vidglo (Terraria.shop) have been hard at work on some new offerings for the Fall/Winter season. This includes the recently-released Halloween 2021 Collection! You can also find quick links to each of these spooky products on the Merch Hub - these are some real treats that any Terrarian will want to pick up, no tricks!
[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.
Click the image above to check out the details and to preorder the Forest Biome Resin Statue!
In case you missed our earlier announcement, we have a couple of Halloween Contests going on where you can show your spooky side as well as your love for Terraria all at once!

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.

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!

Something Wicked This Way Comes...
[ 2021-10-21 17:04:08 CET ] [ Original post ]
Good Afternoon, Terrarians!
Just wanted to share a quick update on stuff the team has been doing. As we mentioned before, we are doing some Steam Deck optimization-focused stuff, and that work is going quite well...
...beyond that, you know how we always say that we are done adding content to Terraria? Well, about that... oh, wait, sorry, wrong game! Carry on, nothing to see here...
Terraria Halloween Contests Are Underway!
Attention Terrarians, skeletons, ghosts, and other creatures that lurk within this server! Halloween is quickly approaching and we are hosting some special spooky contests this month that could potentially give you a massive boost in Prize Points. What are Prize Points / Special Prize Points? Prize Points are used to purchase game codes, signed Terraria merchandise, and server roles from our Prize Merchant Bot! You can view the Prize Points shop in the bot-commands channel by using the shp!viewshop command. Special Prize Points only apply towards the @Zenith and @Ultra Instinct roles. Terraria Prize Shop The exclusive Terraria Prize Shop features many incredible prizes including signed t-shirts, hoodies, pins, Steam games, and much more. You can redeem prizes with the prize points earned from events. In addition to these Halloween events there are daily activities in our communities ranging from Trivia to art creation and you can earn prize points from all these activities. Come by the Discord server located at https://discord.gg/terraria to check out this incredible feature.
The first contest will be an in-real life pumpkin carving contest! This is a tradition in the community that has taken place many times over the years, since the first iteration in 2013. Think you got what it takes to enter that hall of fame? Check out the images below for examples of past winners!
How do you enter? Create a spooky piece of Terraria-related art on a pumpkin, put a candle in it, and photograph it in the dark for the best look! Please DM your photo submissions to @Submission Bot on our Discord to enter the contest. The first photo should be of the entry by itself, and then send a second photo which has your Discord username on a piece of paper in front of your entry, so we can verify that it is original. Entries without this second image for verification will not be accepted. The rewards for this contest are as follows: 1st Place: 25,000 Prize Points or 250,000 Special Prize Points 2nd Place: 15,000 Prize Points or 150,000 Special Prize Points 3rd Place: 10,000 Prize Points or 100,000 Special Prize Points 4th Place: 5,000 Prize Points or 50,000 Special Prize Points 5th Place: 5,000 Prize Points or 50,000 Special Prize Points Everyone who submits valid, original entries for this contest will receive 2,000 Prize Points!
The second contest will be an in-game Halloween Costume-themed Vanity contest so let your imagination and creativity go wild and create some real spooky costumes that would even scare the Moon Lord!

Greetings Terrarians, We are excited to announce several upcoming Halloween themed Terraria events where you can win prizes. Full details regarding the Halloween events and exclusive Terraria prize shop can be found in the official Terraria Discord server.

Halloween Contests
Attention Terrarians, skeletons, ghosts, and other creatures that lurk within this server! Halloween is quickly approaching and we are hosting some special spooky contests this month that could potentially give you a massive boost in Prize Points. What are Prize Points / Special Prize Points? Prize Points are used to purchase game codes, signed Terraria merchandise, and server roles from our Prize Merchant Bot! You can view the Prize Points shop in the bot-commands channel by using the shp!viewshop command. Special Prize Points only apply towards the @Zenith and @Ultra Instinct roles. Terraria Prize Shop The exclusive Terraria Prize Shop features many incredible prizes including signed t-shirts, hoodies, pins, Steam games, and much more. You can redeem prizes with the prize points earned from events. In addition to these Halloween events there are daily activities in our communities ranging from Trivia to art creation and you can earn prize points from all these activities. Come by the Discord server located at https://discord.gg/terraria to check out this incredible feature.
TERRARIA HALLOWEEN PUMPKIN CARVING CONTEST
The first contest will be an in-real life pumpkin carving contest! This is a tradition in the community that has taken place many times over the years, since the first iteration in 2013. Think you got what it takes to enter that hall of fame? Check out the images below for examples of past winners!
How do you enter? Create a spooky piece of Terraria-related art on a pumpkin, put a candle in it, and photograph it in the dark for the best look! Please DM your photo submissions to @Submission Bot on our Discord to enter the contest. The first photo should be of the entry by itself, and then send a second photo which has your Discord username on a piece of paper in front of your entry, so we can verify that it is original.

Terraria State of the Game - September 2021
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.
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?
As in the past, we are gathering up our possible selections that we will reveal in a future State of the Game!
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.
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)
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!
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!
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.
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!
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.
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!
The merchandise hub has a few new items added over the past month... and there are a lot more coming very soon! Big plans here for the 2021 Holiday season - so this is a place you will want to watch for all of your gift-giving (or rewarding yourself terraria ) needs!
Click the banner above to head to Terraria.org/store now! 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!
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. That said, what better time than the State of the Game to check in on news from our existing partners as well as to shine a light on some other things that are in the works?
[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.
Click the image above to check out the details and to preorder the Forest Biome Resin Statue!
The response to this Kickstarter-as-preorder campaign could not have been stronger! Terrarians everywhere have spoken loudly with their support here - blowing away the $10,000 campaign goal to the tune of over $250k in preorders! 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: SKYLAND ARTS TERRARIA FIGURES SERIES 1A PRODUCTION UPDATE Missed your chance? Not to worry, Skyland has left things open for a bit longer via a "Late Order" system that you can check out below! LATE PREORDER SKYLAND ARTS LIMITED EDITION TERRARIA FIGURES - SERIES 1A HERE!
Our fantastic partners over at Vidglo (Terraria.shop) have been hard at work on some new offerings for the Fall/Winter season. The first of those to roll out (available very soon!) will be the Terraria Halloween Collection - which you can see in the sneak peek above! We will update the Merch Hub the instant these are available, and you can keep an eye on Terraria.Shop as well so that you know the instant these are released!
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. We host daily events in the Terraria Discord server where you can win exclusive Terraria merchandise in our custom Terraria Prize Shop. Our official activities range from Terraria trivia to art events where the community votes for the winner! The Terraria Discord server is the central hub to chat live with your fellow Terrarians so please stop by and introduce yourself if you have not done so already.
Until next time, Terrarians - we hope you have an amazing month, and we look forward to bringing you the latest and greatest next time!

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!
Performance checking with Pumpkin Moon? Child's Play! Let's add in a Destroyer!
Ok, sure... but now do it in Splitscreen (seriously, do not try this at home kids!)
Work is officially underway on bringing the awesomeness of Journey's End to Nintendo Switch. We do not have an exact time to give you just yet, but here's a screenshot of Zenith doing its thing on Switch! Once we get a bit deeper in, we will have an update on timing for you. Stay tuned!

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!

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!
[previewyoutube=LeNK0CqY8WY;full][/previewyoutube] Prototype Painting is done and the run-up to preorders for this premium high-end collector's piece is about to begin! You will want to keep an eye on the page linked below for the latest and greatest on this limited edition set!

We are excited to announce that we are expanding the TCT to help many Discord communities and it will be referred to as "The Community Team" going forward.

Affiliated communities are required to promote the TCT to their servers as their community management recruitment and training platform. Our goal is to provide a platform where anyone can learn how to help communities and what opportunities are available. TCT will launch with the following Teams: 1) Art Team: Create art, emotes, memes, stickers, and gifs for communities that can be used for sharing, banners, social media, and events. 2) Development Team: Create and manage Discord bots and other development projects. 3) Event Team: Create and manage community events, create custom builds for sandbox games that can be used for parkour, pvp, and other community functions, suggest community events, and receive notification whenever there is an Affiliated community event. 4) Localization Team: Translate community content into multiple languages and help manage non-English social communities. 5) Moderator Team: Discuss community moderation, share moderation strategies, assist Affiliated communities with their server moderation. 6) Partnership Team: Recruit new Affiliated communities to join the TCT and evaluate communities looking to join the TCT. 7) Quality Assurance Team: Receive notification whenever their is a new game Beta application, report game bugs, and make game suggestions to community officials. 8) Stream & Video Team: Make video content for communities or stream for communities. 9) Trivia Team: Help make and review general Trivia questions that are used by communities in activities. 10) Writing Team: Create editorials for servers to share with their communities and the media. Registration is now open for partnered and verified servers to join the TCT as an Affiliated community! You must be at least a moderator or admin for a server to apply to have the server join the TCT as an Affiliated community. To apply to become an Affiliated community please message @TCT Mod Mail and include the perma server link, your role in the server, and a brief explanation why you would like the server to join the TCT as an Affiliated community. There will be an interview process for partnered and verified servers to become an Affiliated community. We look forward to helping many communities become as great as possible.
Until next time, Terrarians - we hope you have an amazing month, and we look forward to bringing you the latest and greatest next time!

WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?
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.
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
XBOX & PLAYSTATION
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!
STORIES FROM TESTVILLE
Performance checking with Pumpkin Moon? Child's Play! Let's add in a Destroyer!
Ok, sure... but now do it in Splitscreen (seriously, do not try this at home kids!)
NINTENDO SWITCH
Work is officially underway on bringing the awesomeness of Journey's End to Nintendo Switch. We do not have an exact time to give you just yet, but here's a screenshot of Zenith doing its thing on Switch! Once we get a bit deeper in, we will have an update on timing for you. Stay tuned!
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!
TERRARIA: JOURNEY'S END MOBILE BUG REPORTS
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!
TERRARIA MERCHANDISE STORE HUB
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. That said, what better time than the State of the Game to check in on news from our existing partners as well as to shine a light on some other things that are in the works?
SKYLAND ARTS LIMITED EDITION TERRARIA FIGURES - SERIES 1A PREORDERS UNDERWAY!
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!

TCT HELPING COMMUNITIES
We are excited to announce that we are expanding the TCT to help many Discord communities and it will be referred to as "The Community Team" going forward. The TCT will still function in the same capacity within the Terraria community, but now all partnered and verified servers will be allowed to apply to join the TCT as an Affiliated community. Affiliated communities are required to promote the TCT to their servers as their community management recruitment and training platform. Our goal is to provide a platform where anyone can learn how to help communities and what opportunities are available. TCT will launch with the following Teams: 1) Art Team: Create art, emotes, memes, stickers, and gifs for communities that can be used for sharing, banners, social media, and events. 2) Development Team: Create and manage Discord bots and other development projects. 3) Event Team: Create and manage community events, create custom builds for sandbox games that can be used for parkour, pvp, and other community functions, suggest community events, and receive notification whenever there is an Affiliated community event. 4) Localization Team: Translate community content into multiple languages and help manage non-English social communities. 5) Moderator Team: Discuss community moderation, share moderation strategies, assist Affiliated communities with their server moderation. 6) Partnership Team: Recruit new Affiliated communities to join the TCT and evaluate communities looking to join the TCT. 7) Quality Assurance Team: Receive notification whenever their is a new game Beta application, report game bugs, and make game suggestions to community officials. 8) Stream & Video Team: Make video content for communities or stream for communities. 9) Trivia Team: Help make and review general Trivia questions that are used by communities in activities. 10) Writing Team: Create editorials for servers to share with their communities and the media. Registration is now open for partnered and verified servers to join the TCT as an Affiliated community! You must be at least a moderator or admin for a server to apply to have the server join the TCT as an Affiliated community. To apply to become an Affiliated community please message @TCT Mod Mail and include the perma server link, your role in the server, and a brief explanation why you would like the server to join the TCT as an Affiliated community. There will be an interview process for partnered and verified servers to become an Affiliated community. We look forward to helping many communities become as great as possible.
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 is Turning 10 Years Old - Join the Celebration!
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.
(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!
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!
(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)
[ 2021-05-13 17:20:37 CET ] [ Original post ]
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....

(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!
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:
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!
[previewyoutube=QP2jOBq8rUA;full][/previewyoutube] Want to change things up with the in-game soundtrack? Import your custom tunes via this very cool-sounding feature.
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:
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?
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:
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.
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!
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!
This is what it sounds like - the landing page for the Terraria Steam Workshop. You will find a few sections of interest here:
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.

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.

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!
HOME PAGE
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
BROWSE PAGE
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.

WORKSHOP CONTENT PAGE
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.

Terraria: No Greater Labor of Love Nominee - Get Your Votes in Today!
[ 2020-12-22 18:08:36 CET ] [ Original post ]
You did it everyone! Terraria is officially a Nominee for the 2020 Labor of Love Steam Award! On behalf of the entire Re-Logic development team, a sincere thank you to each and every Terrarian out there for your support.
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!
2020 has brought a lot of insanity to all of us - but also one constant, and that is Terraria being in our gaming lives and releasing more amazing content.
10 years, from 250 items to over 5000. Never a microtransaction. Never a paid DLC. If any game defines the "Labor of Love", it is Terraria. This is it, friends, let's make it happen - Terraria = your Labor of Love winner for the 2020 Steam Awards.
Netting a win here would honestly mean a lot for the Re-Logic team and would be the perfect way to cap off what truly and fully has been our Labor of Love for nearly 10 years now. Terraria is not just a game to us, it is family.
So, once again, we earnestly ask for your support, 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!

Rounding Out the Journey: Terraria 1.4.1 is Here!
[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!
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.
How will you discover and unlock this regal companion? What does she do? You will have to explore and find out on your own!
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!
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.
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!
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:
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! :) TCF Terraria: Journey's End Balance Discussion Thread There are simply too many things to list here, so for the full list, please click the link below to check it out!
What update would be complete without a laundry list of Bug Fixes? There are far too many to list here - if you want to check out the full list, click on the link below:
Alongside Terraria 1.4.1, we have updated the Terraria Official Soundtrack with all of the Journey's End tracks - and some older favorites! There has never been a better time to pick up this collection of amazing tunes! The full OST is now updated on Steam, and all of the new tracks will be available on Spotify/iTunes/etc. in the very near future!
Of course, if you get or are addicted to the alternate tunes on the 05162020 World Seed, be sure to check out the Terraria: Otherworld Official Soundtrack as well!
That's Terraria 1.4.1 in a nutshell! To check out the full changelog and to participate in the discussion around the update, learn how best to report any bugs, etc. please check out our official Terraria 1.4.1 Launch Thread, linked below!

QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGES
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)
BALANCE CHANGES

Happy Launch Day, Terrarians... and welcome to Journey's End!
This update has been a labor of love, tirelessly worked on by our team over a good while, and we truly feel that it brings Terraria to the next level, to a place where the core game can finally be called "complete". From new ways to play the game to over 1000 new items to find and craft to new bosses to challenge and even a full-pass review of all content of the game for balance, graphic quality, and mechanics - truly, Journey's End has something for everyone. We cannot wait to see your reactions as you dive in to all that this update has to offer, and we hope that you thoroughly enjoy our gift to you. It has been an amazing journey indeed... but we truly feel that this end is really just a new beginning for the amazing world of Terraria.
So, what awaits you in Journey's End? In case you missed our advance Terraria: Journey's End Changelog post last Thursday, we have linked it below for your reading pleasure. Also located in today's post are where and how to report bugs as well as other important information that you may find interesting.

With Great Power Comes Great Accessibility - Introducing Journey Mode
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:
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!
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.
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! ---
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! ---
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. ----
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!

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)
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!
RESEARCH

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?

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.

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.
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!
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.

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!

- 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.

Terraria: Journey's End Vanity Contest
[ 2020-03-13 16:58:42 CET ] [ Original post ]
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
WHAT IS ALLOWED/NOT ALLOWED?
- 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
HOW DO I SUBMIT MY ENTRY?
- 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!
HOW WILL THE WINNERS BE SELECTED?
- 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.
HECK YEAH, I WON! NOW WHAT?
- 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:

Re-Logic Announces Terraria: Journey's End
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!

Good day Terrarians!

1.3.5 is Live!
[ 2017-04-19 15:34:13 CET ] [ Original post ]
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. Changelog: Features:

- German

1.3.4 is LIVE!
[ 2016-11-15 17:40:02 CET ] [ Original post ]
1.3.4, 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

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. 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! Dedicated Server Software: Click HERE Want to share your feedback about the 1.3 Update: OFFICIAL FEEDBACK THREAD Have a Terraria 1.3 Bug to Report (please give as much information as possible): TERRARIA PC BUG REPORT SECTION --- So, what now?
