Greetings Terrarians! Anybody feeling especially lucky this month? We sure hope so, because we have some fun stuff to share this month - and we are one month closer to getting this update into your hands. It is crazy to see that the first three months of 2025 have already flown by. We promise that there is a pretty cool update sitting in the pot of gold at the end of this very long rainbow. One upside is that the extended update timeline has given DR Studios the chance to dive into even more polish and improvements on things specific to Console and Mobile. We hope that love and care will come through to everyone when the time comes. With that said, let's see what is in store for this month's State of the Game!

TERRARIA - THE TIES THAT BIND

In an earlier playthrough last year, renowned Terraria Enthusiast ChippyGaming and the creator of Terraria, Redigit, discussed having a special playthrough in 2025 where no secrets would be kept and any spoilers that showed up were fair game. The catch? They would be tethered together and playing on hardcore. Any death from either player would end the run. What new spoilers appeared? What development insights did Redigit reveal? What sorts of crazy shenanigans did they get up to? Most importantly - how did it end!?! [previewyoutube=O8jRotUB8UM;full][/previewyoutube]Terraria - still bringing players closer together than ever before after all of these years! So, we hope that everyone enjoys that fun little journey into the world of Terraria 1.4.5 - we wish there could have been more, but sadly two seasoned Terraria pros got taken out by... a waterfall. That said, we thought we might share just a little bit more in the realm of spoilers this month:
Something seems off about those gunslingers...

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM

Hello everyone! This last month tModLoader hit an exciting new player count record. We had 56,000 players playing at the same time! We look forward to even more users enjoying playing tModLoader as new mods continue to come out and existing mods continue to update! On April 1st the monthly update release of tModLoader will go live. One notable change for this month's release is the AddSpecialDraw changes for tile rendering, which can be used to address some animation frame rate and rendering issues. We hope mod makers read the pull request description and apply the fixes to their own tiles if relevant. We'd also encourage mod makers to check out the new features available in the preview release and provide feedback if anything is lacking. Some features in preview include biome conversion support and streamlined ModTileEntity examples and helper methods. For mod makers, features of note currently in preview for next month include expanded tree shaking hooks and expanded shimmer recipe decrafting control. 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.

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

Hello Terrarians! This month, we have once again been beavering away at Quality of Life changes. In particular, one spot weve been addressing is the use of primary vs. secondary item actions. Currently you perform left click actions with the Fire button, and right click actions with the Interact button. Since your Interact button is usually on the same side as your movement stick, however, this can get cumbersome when trying to attack with most weapons. This new (work in progress) feature should hopefully address that, and make these actions easier to use while moving!
To give a brief overview:

• We have added a toggle button between an items primary / secondary actions.
• This changes all buttons, as well as aim stick + screen tap, to perform the secondary action.
• Given these secondary actions could not previously be used on the aim stick, nor when tapping the screen, opening these up as options should make these actions much more comfortable than before.
• At the moment, this button can be unbound to revert to current 1.4.4.9 behaviour. We are iterating back and forth, however, so there might be changes on the horizon to how this is implemented.

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

TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME UPDATE

Hello Terrarians! Chris here, lead developer at Paper Fort Games. In this months Terraria: The Board Game designer diary, weve got an update on our timeline, new art and loads of sample images including the wooden character pack, full-art card sleeves and dice! 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 --- Grab your pickaxes and lets dig in! UPDATED TIMELINE TL;DR: Were updating our estimated shipping date to August 2025. At Paper Fort HQ, were regularly evaluating our internal deadlines and estimated timeline. Over the past month, weve made improvements to the game that require some extra testing time and that necessitate updates to the games print files. Finalizing the games tray design (a hugely important part of the game) and getting samples of some game components have also taken longer than we had hoped. These are critical milestones in the development process, and they directly impact the quality of the final game, so we need to give them the time they deserve. You can view the update timeline below:
This means that the game is going to take longer to get to backers than we had anticipated; were updating our estimated shipping date to August 2025. As backers of many projects ourselves, we understand that this can be frustrating, so we wanted to let everyone know sooner rather than later and reiterate our promise to keep you in the loop throughout the whole process. This doesnt mean anything has slowed down in our day-to-day work on the game; there are still lots of things happening in parallel, such as the finalizing of art assets, the rulebook overhaul and loads of playtesting. Our monthly updates will continue, with all the behind-the-curtain details of the games development and as many exciting pictures as we can fit in! Speaking of exciting pictures, lets take a look at whats been happening this month --- WOODEN CHARACTER PACK This week, we received a full sample of the games wooden character pieces. During the campaign, we planned to include 4 character pieces in the base game, but as mentioned previously weve decided to increase this to 8 as a thank you for your support. Therefore, the core game will come with 8 character pieces (2 in each player colour), and Hellstone backers will receive an additional 32 characters (8 in each player colour). As you might remember from previous updates, weve been testing lots of different printing methods and are very happy that weve found a technique that not only allows a wider range of colours but also permits more detailed artwork; quite a challenge on a wooden piece smaller than a penny! Below is the full set; the 2 leftmost pieces in each colour are the base game pieces; the others are included in the Hellstone pack.
--- PLASTIC ORGANIZER SAMPLES Until now, weve been testing 3D-printed version of the games organizer trays; this is a great initial check of dimensions and component fit, but this week we progressed to the next step - our plastic samples finally arrived! The trays are vacuum formed. For those of you who are interested in how this process works, you can watch this short video (5 minutes). Its not specific to board game inserts, but the process is very similar, and it shows the various stages involved in the process. [previewyoutube=LYfzl8eciG8;full][MEDIA=youtube]LYfzl8eciG8[/MEDIA][/previewyoutube] Were happy to report that the plastic trays are sturdy, hold all of the components well, have secure snap-close lids and fit nicely in the box:
Eagle-eyed viewers may notice a few things in the GIF above:

• The plastic trays are all black: This is just for sampling purposes. The trays will be coloured, with the enemy tray purple to match the enemy dice, the boss trays colour-matched to the boss miniatures and the remaining trays Terraria green, colour-matched to the character dice. Their lids will all be transparent. Coloured trays are on their way to us; in the meantime heres a digital mockup:

• Theres a mysterious white box at the top left: This area will contain a foam block in the core version of the game (so things dont rattle around); Hellstone backers can replace this foam block with their box of extra wooden character pieces.
• The card and biome tile boxes are grey: These are still our 3D printed versions of these boxes. These will be made from full-art, double-walled cardboard in the final game; we are currently waiting on the cardboard samples.
• The card box is full of sleeved cards! Thats right; read on for a sleeve-related update

--- CARD SLEEVES & SLEEVED CARD CAPACITY Hot of the press, we have the physical samples of the full-art action card sleeves included with the Hellstone pledge! They look *amazing*, are fantastic quality (100-micron thickness) and fit the cards beautifully. We have subjected them to 30 solid minutes of the most brutal smash-shuffling that we could muster, and were happy to report they arent showing any signs of wear, splitting or peeling.
--- CHARACTER ART & UPDATED PLAYER BOARDS George has just finished up a complete overhaul of our 8 character cards; weve worked closely with the Re-Logic team to create an interesting and diverse cast of characters to choose from.
Of course, as you progress through the game, youll be overlaying your character with various armor and vanity sets!
It has been a very fun technical challenge to make characters, armor and vanities that are completely interchangeable; were excited to see them in action! Updated Player Boards In our last update, we mentioned that weve updated the player boards to include designated consumable and discard pile areas; we just received the samples and its looking great! It definitely helps to have these extra reminders!
--- TERRARIAN & ENEMY DICE And finally; some dice! We have just approved the samples for the Terrarian and enemy dice, with their new, easier to read inlay colours. The marbling looks great, and its very satisfying to roll a handful of them in combat!

--- GAME DEVELOPMENT NEWS Heres what weve been focusing on this month:

• The major rulebook overhaul continues; its currently with playtesters for initial comments and well publish it for backers to read as soon as its ready.
• Blind playtesting is ongoing; the game is currently with playtesting groups who will play the game based solely on the rulebook.
• Removal of half blocks for the game to simplify rules; a square is now simply full, or empty.
• Addition of an objective focus token to increase interactivity and planning between players at the start of each turn.
• Alternate objectives are currently being tested; these can be swapped in to increase game-to-game variability.
• Simplification of enemy retaliation rules; less dice rolling!

--- Back in April I'll be back next month with more art, development news, and factory samples to show you! Its really lovely to see everything come together; thank you all so much for your support. 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!

[ 2025-03-27 20:14:02 CET ] [ Original post ]

Greetings Terrarians! Ah February, the month of love, or something like that? Well, we certainly love and appreciate each and every Terrarian out there, so let's go with it! Anyway, the team is whittling away at the remaining tickets in the system and making great headway down that road. We also have some fun new spoilers to showcase this month that we hope everyone will enjoy. Beyond that, we are really just hoping to be able to finally give a release window with some certainty sometime soon. We know that this update has taken a very long time and we appreciate your patience more than we can say. Please just hang in there with us a bit longer. With that said, let's get right to it!

PC - RE-LOGIC

TERRARIA - BRINGING BACKGROUNDS TO THE FOREGROUND

One of the long-running aspects of the upcoming Terraria update has been the development of a whole new suite of biome backgrounds. Hand-crafted by Luna (also known as RunicPixels), these deceptively detailed works of art really set the mood and keep things fresh as you explore each Terraria world. We are showing just a few examples below, but we have several others already completed and ready for prime time. Make sure that you take the time to look closely and take each of these all in....
Fairy Circles, Ancient Bones, Frozen Rivers, and Gnarled Corrupt Trees, oh my! Again, there are several more where these come from (more than 10 as of today!) - and we cannot wait to see what you think of them all when 1.4.5 releases!

For mod makers, features of note currently in preview for next month include expanded tree shaking hooks and expanded shimmer recipe decrafting control.

PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS

Happy February, Terrarians! We hope the first few months of 2025 have been enjoyable ones. Alongside bringing 1.4.5s content over to the mobile / console versions, one overarching task weve focused on this past year is Quality of Life - in other words, polishing certain actions / menus to make them easier to use.We wanted to take the time this month to showcase some changes to our virtual controls editor. Weve drastically overhauled the way its used, as well as given it some new features, in an effort to make it more accessible to beginners and experts alike. Without further ado, heres some footage! [previewyoutube=Dmz-Bcb31lo;full][/previewyoutube] To list a few of these changes:

• Placing a button down in a scheme has been dramatically altered. Rather than choosing from a giant list of actions and modifying their size, you now choose a control type and determine its action / size from a dedicated popup. You can also delete controls with it!
• You can now copy / paste configurations across loadouts. Great for people who like using multiple schemes with all the same button placements!
• Since the ways people play can vary quite drastically, weve added in some new default presets that you can choose from! Previously, there was only one default option for your controls.
• There are a few new features that weve hidden as easter eggs in the video. See if you can spot them!

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

TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME UPDATE

Hello Terrarians! Chris here, lead developer at Paper Fort Games. In this months Terraria: The Board Game designer diary, weve got a card sleeve art reveal, an update on the games organiser, lots of samples from the manufacturer and the latest development news from Paper Fort HQ. 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! CARD SLEEVE ART The Terraria: The Board Game Hellstone pledge level includes full-art card sleeves for the games action cards. Our original plan for these was to use the pre-existing King Slime boss art, but after seeing the Terrarian vs. Boss playmat art that George created, we knew that instead, we had to have another bespoke battle scene on the sleeves! With Re-Logic, we decided to feature Eye of Cthulhu on the card sleeve; another iconic Terraria Boss. To contrast with the playmat arts Underworld setting, we chose the Snow biome as the location, with a moonlit palette adding to the eerie atmosphere. As you can see from the sketch below, the Terrarian was originally going to be decked out in iron armor, instead they were upgraded to sturdier silver armor and armed with the Ice Blade, as well as a silver bow slung across their back. We are so thrilled with how the piece came out; its currently with the manufacturer being used to make sample card sleeves.
"You feel an evil presence watching you..." The EoC vs Terrarian card sleeves art from sketch (left) to final art piece (right). The final sleeves will not feature the Terraria watermark. --- GAMETRAYZ ORGANIZER After lots of back and forth we are now happy with the games organiser; you can see a basic schematic of how the storage will fit together below.
The Card and Biome Tile boxes will be double-walled, full-art cardstock boxes with lids and all of the trays will be plastic with transparent lids. It takes quite a while for the manufacturer to create the tools for making these inserts, so while they get to grips with that weve ordered one final 3D printed version of everything. We want to be extra sure that everything fits the way it should, and theres only so much you can check on a computer screen! --- TRANSPARENT CARD SAMPLES Last week, samples of the games transparent cards (used for armor, vanity and minions) arrived at the office. We are really happy with the print quality and the clarity of the cards when stacked. Heres Chris testing a couple of the cards upon arrival; very satisfying!

--- LATEST BOSS MINIATURES We received our latest batch of Boss miniature samples this week, and were happy to report that the keys are correct, the fit is good and the colours look great!
These are still 3D printed and airbrush painted samples (hence why the inside parts on some are white); we didnt want to move on to creating molds for the plastic versions before we were 100% happy with them. --- INVENTORY DICE SAMPLES In our last update, we mentioned that the inventory dice samples were on their way. The marbled acrylic looks fantastic in blue, red, white and yellow, but the gold infill on the blue and red dice was very difficult to read. In light of this, weve switched over to a white infill on those dice instead and it is much clearer.
--- COIN DIAL MODIFICATIONS The games coin dials have been altered slightly for useability; they are bigger, the numbers are clearer and weve added a little cutout to make turning the dial easier. These might all seem like small changes but they make a big difference overall.
--- HIGH-FRICTION BIOME TILES Early on in the design of the game, we knew that tokens would need to be placed into the world; as enemies and to track various states. With this in mind, weve been working with the team at Gameland to find a coating for the biome tiles and tokens that decreases the chances of tokens moving easily if knocked. Of course, we cant eliminate this completely, but we wanted to do something to help if we could. Weve tried a few different options, and have finally found a matte finish that increases friction between the biome tiles and tokens placed onto them, without adversely affecting the colours or sharpness of detail. Happily, it also has another bonus; significantly reducing glare and improving readability of the tiles, even with a bright light directly overhead.
--- GAME DEVELOPMENT Here are some of the games features weve been focusing on this month:

• The major rulebook overhaul continues; well publish it as soon as its ready.
• Blind playtesting is ongoing; the game is currently with playtesting groups who will play the game based solely on the rulebook.
• Simplification of chopping and digging rules; now quicker, easier and less fiddly!
• Removal of time tokens from the game; passage of time is now baked into the threat tracker which means less things to check per turn.
• Significant upgrades across all cards; culling of boring cards, introduction of more interesting and diverse cards to improve the overall deckbuilding aspect of the game experience.
• Objective chain updates, including testing of variable objectives allowing for more variety between games.
• Various graphic design improvements, including a player board upgrade to include designated consumable and discard pile area.

--- Back in March I'll be back next month with more art, development news, and factory samples to show you! Its really lovely to see everything come together; thank you all so much for your support. 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! 2025 is here and we are here for it! Things are setting up for this to be quite the year for Terraria and Terrarians everywhere, and we hope that everyone is as excited as we are for what is to come. From the long-awaited update to (hopefully!) the release of crossplay to the release of Terraria: the Board Game and more - there will be lots to do and enjoy. Team Terraria is - as always - beyond appreciative of each of you that choose to continue along with us on our journey. So, let's settle in and learn a bit more about what this year has in store! On with the show...

PC - RE-LOGIC

TERRARIA - WE'VE FOUND FOOD IN LOW PLACES...

Welcome back, Terrarians - and happy 2025! The team is already hard at work with adding a few new bits, tweaking and balancing what we have, and fixing the usual bugs that crop up. We still plan to have an ideation session to be sure there is nothing that we have left on the side that shouldn't be there - and that meeting should lock in what there is left to do. There is a long and exciting road ahead, and to help keep our energy up whilst down deep in the caves and tunnels of development, we have found the most delicious new snack hiding within the world of Terraria...

TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME UPDATE

Hello Terrarians! Chris here, lead developer at Paper Fort Games; welcome to the first update of 2025. In this months Terraria: The Board Game designer diary, I'll be sharing more art, information about the games custom Gametrayz organiser, samples from the factory and an improved bee ally miniature. 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! ARMOR SET ART As always, George has been hard at work on art assets for the game. His recent focus has been on more armor sets; youll find them below:
From left to right; top row: Shadow, Crimson, Ebonwood and Shadewood Armor. Bottom row: Jungle, Mining, Necro, Copper and Silver Armor. As you might remember, armor sets are printed onto transparent cards that are placed on top of your character card, dressing your character and buffing their stats. George is currently working on a unique art piece for the action card sleeve pack (included with the Hellstone pledge); even at the early sketch stage, were excited! --- MANUFACTURER SAMPLES Wooden Pieces We recently received samples of the games printed wooden components; character pieces, tombstone tokens, mana/health trackers and the day/night token. These were all upgraded with printed art during the campaign. Weve experimented with various printing techniques over the past couple of months and were really pleased with how well the art has come out on such tiny pieces. The colours really pop! TERRARIA: THE BOARD GAME WOODEN PIECE PREVIEW You can watch a quick flyover of these components here Custom Inventory Dice Creating custom dice is quite an involved process; one of the biggest challenges is ensuring that the material textures, colours and infills all work well together. This week, the manufacturer sent us this picture of the games inventory dice, used to track your resources. During the KS, these were upgraded via stretch goals from plain to marbled plastic, and then from standard to customised dice, allowing us to incorporate the Andy font and include the Terraria tree on the 0 face.
The games custom inventory dice. Dont they look delicious? Dont eat them. Creating custom dice also allows us to play with the positioning of the faces. On a normal 6-sided die, the values of opposite faces add up to 7. This is fine if youre rolling the dice, but if youre using them to track something, it can be fiddly to count up or count down as the faces for sequential numbers arent necessarily next to each other. Weve positioned the faces in such a way that counting up and counting down should be significantly easier. These samples are currently on their way to us and were looking forward to getting our hands on them. The polyhedral character and enemy dice are also on their way. Chinese New Year has now started; during this national holiday factories close down completely. We worked closely with the manufacturer to get as many samples sent as possible before the holiday began, so well have plenty to work on while theyre away. --- GAMETRAYZ ORGANIZER From the outset, we knew that this game would benefit from a custom box insert. Not just to help with organisation, but also to streamline setup, gameplay and put-away. It has taken lots of time, spreadsheets, prototypes and alterations to achieve this goal, but were really, really close! Last week, we ordered high-quality 3D prints of the latest tray designs and I spent 2 days going through them all, checking that every component has a place, that each of the slots was the correct size and that all of the trays fitted together as expected inside the box. There are some changes to be made by Gametrayz after this review, but were almost there.
Deep into the review of the Gametrayz inserts! These prototype trays are 3D printed in a grey material, but the final plastic trays will be coloured. The stackable trays (the setup, crafting/resource and enemy trays) will have transparent lids, as will the 6 boss trays. The biome tile and card boxes will be made of thick, full-art, double-walled cardboard and will have lids. The dice you see in the setup tray are just placeholders of the correct size that were using while we wait for the actual dice samples. Similarly, white sample (i.e. unprinted) cardboard components are being used to check each components dimensions. Not pictured here is the enemy tray; see below.
The enemy tray. Icons will be printed/embossed onto the tray; quick paper mock-ups used here so we can get a feel for readable size. A new area for wound tokens has been added top left; as these are only ever used with enemies, its more sensible to have them stored here than in another tray. Like the other stable trays, this will have a transparent lid. --- BEE ALLY TOKEN RESCULPT
As part of the ongoing review process, we recently revisited the games Ally tokens (the enemies spawned by Bosses during boss battles). We werent happy with the bee Ally; compared to our other Allies and boss miniatures it felt flat and of lower quality. In light of this, it has been remodelled; were much happier with the new ally!
New bee Ally with hand for scale. It might look cute, but when Queen Bee is sending them after you, you might change your mind! --- GAME DEVELOPMENT Here are some of the games features weve been focusing on this month:

• A major rulebook overhaul, taking into account feedback from the community and incorporating the latest rule modifications. Thank you to everybody who took the time to read the previous versions and share their feedback with us! This updated version of the rulebook is currently with external editors and will be improved further based on their comments. Were aiming to publish the latest version online for backers to peruse within the next couple of months.
• Blind playtesting; the game is currently with playtesting groups who will play the game based solely on the rulebook.
• Detailed review of the Gametrayz organiser system as detailed above.
• Review of manufacturers component samples, including wooden pieces and high-friction biome tile/ token coating.
• Various small UI/ graphic design improvements across the games components.

--- SOMETHING FROM THE ARCHIVES I recently found one of my earliest prototypes in Tabletop Simulator. In this version, the world was built from square cards (rather than rectangular tiles), which threw up all sorts of problems with mis-orientation and cards sliding under one another. Its certainly different, but recognisable as an early version of todays game and a great reminder of how far weve come!
--- DICE TOWER TOP 10 MOST ANTICIPATED GAMES OF 2025 When we returned to the office earlier this month, we were very excited to discover that Tom Vasel from the Dice Tower has voted Terraria as one of his top 10 most anticipated games of 2025. Were honoured to be on the list among such fantastic company!
--- Back in February! I'll be back next month with more art, development news, and factory samples to show you! Its really lovely to see everything come together; thank you all so much for your support. 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 x MADRINAS - KING SLIME BLUEBERRY LEMONADE FRUIT TEA

[ 2025-01-09 14:32:10 CET ] [ Original post ]

Greetings Terrarians! A Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to each and every one of you from Team Terraria! We hope that everyone has found ample time to spend with family and friends during this time. That has been the focus of our team over the past couple of weeks - a good chance to rest and recharge for the push into what is to come in 2025. That said, we did take a few days away from the holiday celebrations for a quick playthrough on the new Skyblock seed. As with all of our playthroughs, shenanigans quickly followed: dev duels, Chippy vs Red for the CEO crown, even what has come to be known as "debug command battles" commenced over the course of the adventure. These are always not only a lot of fun, but also beyond useful in assisting with bug fixing and balance. We can't wait to see what you make of this seed when the update drops! Let's see what is under the Terraria tree this year, shall we?

PC - RE-LOGIC

TERRARIA - FLOORS? WHERE WE'RE GOING WE WON'T NEED FLOORS...

As we mentioned in the introduction to this month's State of the Game, most of the team has been on Holiday break, spending time with family, getting some home projects done, things like that. Of course, then there is the madness that has been the Skyblock playthrough. Our goal with the Skyblock seed is to take a game format that is somewhat notorious for being grindy and for experts only and to make it at least a bit more approachable/accessible to a broader audience of players. As such, a lot of our time on this session was focused around balance (and bugs, of course). Skyblock is sort of its own set of rules and such, so a lot of care has to be taken to make sure it feels right. That said, we had our usual share of trolling and craziness. The CEO crown changed hands more times than we can count via a variety of 1:1 duels between devs, testers, and more. We had more fun and insightful chats than we could recall in a long time - both trips down memory lane and gazing into the future. That said, we thought we might share a screen or two from our playthrough world just for your viewing pleasure.

TERRARIA MERCHANDISE UPDATES

TERRARIA PC CASES, WALL ART, AND MORE FROM STARFORGE!

On behalf of the entire Terraria team, we are beyond excited to share that we have partnered with epic PC builders, Starforge Systems, to create a one-of-a-kind PC case (and some amazing wall and desk mat artwork) that should appeal to Terrarians everywhere. I don't know about you, but personally, I am glad that I am in the market for a PC update! [previewyoutube=lMkidbWb330;full][/previewyoutube]
Check out the details for the Terraria PC case and more via the link below or by clicking the image above! TERRARIA x STARFORGE PC CASE

TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME UPDATE

Hello Terrarians! Chris here, lead developer at Paper Fort Games. In this months Terraria: The Board Game designer diary, weve got a PAXU recap, new enemy and Crimson art, and a Christmas promo pack showcase. 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! PAX UNPLUGGED RECAP From 6th to 8th December, we were demoing Terraria: The Board Game at PAX Unplugged in Philadelphia, PA. Thank you to everyone who visited the booth to play the game, check out the playmat and pick up a Town Slime balloon (as always, it was fun to see them bobbing about in the convention hall!) It was lovely to meet backers in person, and to share the game with Terraria fans who weren't aware of the tabletop adaptation. We were very conveniently positioned just across from Contention Games, who recently published the Slay the Spire board game; lots of videogame fans visiting their booth also came to say hello to us!
Above; the booth set up and ready for the show. We managed to fit most of it in our hand and checked baggage, but had to sacrifice some clothes; thankfully Philly wasn't too cold! When youre busy at the booth all day, its easy to forget to take photos! A huge thank you to Lana (@navigatorlana on IG) who took the fantastic in-play shots of the demo and components below and gave us permission to share them.
Highlights of the convention included chatting with backers, a group of attendees who played the game on Friday and were kind enough to come back on Sunday to tell us that Terraria was their favourite demo of the convention, and playing the demo with a group of real-life Mermaids! Did you play? Let us know in the comments! --- ENEMIES AHEAD! George recently finished up the art for all of the non-boss enemies in the game, which are featured on the games enemy tokens. As always, hes done a fantastic job and we love his interpretation of the games sprites; here are some of our favourites!
From top left to bottom right: Tomb Crawler, Hell Bat, Vulture, Skeleton, Eater of Souls, Frozen Zombie, Crimera, Devourer, Antlion Swarmer, Fire Imp, Ice Bat. --- COMPONENT SPOTLIGHT: CHRISTMAS PROMO PACK As this is our December Update, it seems appropriate to show you some more of the Christmas Promo Pack, unlocked as a stretch goal during the Kickstarter campaign and included with all pledges.
Ugly Sweater: Ugly is subjective, right? We think this knitted number is rather fetching, and it will look lovely overlaying your character card. It doesnt do anything, but it does look cosy! Candy Cane Sword: This sweet sword deals decent damage, as well as preventing enemy retaliation. Great for defeating mobs, or for cutting yourself a nice slice of Christmas cake delicious! Gingerbread Cookie: Not the gumdrop buttons! Discarding this tasty consumable will grant +1 mana, +1 defence, +1 action point and +1 damage; the perfect festive pick-me-up! These Christmas items will be available in your games via the Present, an optional card that you can add to the base game chest cards. --- MANUFACTURER UPDATE: INTRODUCING GAMELAND
Were very happy to announce that well be working with Gameland as our manufacturer for Terraria: The Board Game. Gameland have 16 years of experience in tabletop game manufacturing, and are well known for the quality of their products, including Too Many Bones and Cloudspire from Chip Theory Games and Mind MGMT from Off The Page Games. They have been wonderfully communicative and very helpful in the prototyping of unusual components (such as our modular boss miniatures); the Gameland team are currently working on a wide variety of component samples for us and were looking forward to sharing them in a future update! As well as component testing, were working closely with the Gameland team on pre-packaging options to ensure that games get to backers in pristine condition --- CRIMSON BIOME DISCOVERED! At the start of Terraria: The Board Game, as in the videogame, youll choose an evil biome; Corruption or Crimson (or randomly select one). So far, weve shared the art for Corruption, but George has recently been working on the Crimson biome tiles too; you can find a selection of the WIP art below!
Weve added new critters too; which ones can you find on this selection of tiles? --- Thank you to Re-Logic and the Terraria community for the support and enthusiasm in 2024; we couldnt do it without you and were excited to share more about Terraria: The Board Game in 2025! Happy Holidays to those who celebrate; we hope you get to spend time with your families and loved ones over the festive season. 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! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! The Terraria team is certainly thankful for each and every one of you and your support for us over the years. We hope that as we enter the holiday season, you will have some time to rest, relax, and reconnect with family and friends. We are looking to get things all wrapped up for 2024 ourselves - it has certainly been a productive and unpredictable year. This month's State of the Game is a good one - with spoilers, updates on the future, some new product releases and more. You will definitely want to dive in and check it out. With that said, let's get to it shall we?

PC - RE-LOGIC

TERRARIA - MAKING IT RAIN... ACORNS?

The work on the final lists from each dev team member is nearing its conclusion, which is a great measure of progress. That said, we are pretty certain that there is no way that we will see Terraria 1.4.5 release this year. To make a long story short, end-of-year releases (especially if you are trying to sync launch across PC-Mobile-Console AND do so globally at the same time) are fraught with peril due to review cycles, people leaving early for the holidays, etc. The hope was that we would be able to get things in ahead of that end of year mess, but that isn't looking to be the case. We are also not going to force anyone on our team or anyone else's team to crunch for what would be an arbitrary deadline. So, that said, the next Terraria update is moving along into 2025. We are sure that will not be welcome news for many - but we remain committed to being a quality-first studio, so we will take the time necessary for each update to feel "just right"... and we think that once the update is out, everyone will appreciate that time and care. Apologies for this one taking so long for sure, but it will be well worth it. That bit of news out of the way, let's check in on one of our resident arborists as he is doing a bit of "reforestation"...
Having to place acorns by hand is SO 2011... Oh yeah, and before we forget, we will just leave this here for viewing pleasure and wanton speculation...

TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME UPDATE

Hello Terrarians! Chris here, lead developer at Paper Fort Games. In this months Terraria: The Board Game designer diary, weve got a character pieces showcase, more fantastic equipment art from George, the latest King Slime miniature prototype and details of our stand at PAX Unplugged at the start of December. 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! CHARACTER PIECE SHOWCASE One of the biggest artistic challenges in Terraria: The Board Game has been the design of its character pieces (sometimes called meeples). Wooden player pieces can be found in hundreds of games, but we wanted ours to be unique and faithful to the feel of Terraria. Weve been through many stages of experimentation and iteration with these pieces; unlocking the screen-printing of these components via stretch goals provided more design options, but also made locking in the style of the pieces more challenging. After lots of discussion with the Re-Logic team, liaison with manufacturers about printing methods and many sketches by George, the character pieces have been redesigned to be more dynamic and playful while also addressing the limitations of printing onto a piece of wood smaller than a penny!
During the campaign, we planned to include 4 character pieces in the base game; weve decided to increase this to 8 as a thank you for your support! So, Gold pledge backers will receive 8 basic character pieces (shown above) in their game; backers at the Hellstone pledge level will be receiving an additional 32 advanced character pieces as part of the character piece pack, including the Yoyo, Big Sword, Summoner, Wizard, and more! Here's a selection of the pieces included in that Hellstone pack:
We're still finalising the designs, so colours (including which character is printed onto which colour of wood) and small details may change, but we wanted to show you how far we've come from the pieces in our campaign video!
--- UPDATED KING SLIME MINIATURE We recently received the latest sample of the King Slime modular miniature; this is a 3D printed prototype, but it does give us a feel for what the transparent plastic might look like in the final casting.
--- EVEN MORE EQUIPMENT! George has now finished all of the art for equipment in the game; we are *so* happy with what hes come up with! Its a huge challenge to reinterpret sprites and we think hes done a wonderful job; here are a few of our favourites from the latest batch!
From left to right: Ruby Hook, Demon Scythe, Imp Staff, The Bees Knees, Cascade, Blowpipe and Enchanted Boomerang! --- GAME DEVELOPMENT

• Here are some of the games features weve been focusing on this month:
• A change to the games starting decks to incorporate an attack-boosting card; Charge
• Further Boss balancing, including simplification of Boss behaviours
• Multiple small equipment effect alterations
• Consistency updates to terminology across cards
• Rulebook update/ overhaul (in progress)

Weve also reviewed a white sample of the games components; this is a blank copy of the games components that allows us to check sizes, quality and quantity of all of the games components. Well share more about this in next months update! --- PLAY TERRARIA: THE BOARD GAME AT PAX UNPLUGGED! From 6th to 8th December, well be at PAX Unplugged in Philadelphia. Visit us at booth 4334 to play the game, check out the playmat and pick up a Town Slime balloon! We cant wait to see you there!
Ill be back next month with another designer diary; we'll have Crimson biome art, new enemies, and a spotlight on the Christmas Promo Pack. --- 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!

[ 2024-11-28 18:23:36 CET ] [ Original post ]

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. The scientists in the Terraria food labs have taken some steps to fix this problem. Let's check in with our resident food expert to find out more... [previewyoutube=hMqmZRmZ0g0;full][/previewyoutube] Check out the Console/Mobile section for a sneak peak of Jungle Juice in action! Oh, and in case you missed it, we had a sneaky little hidden spoiler posted on TCF during the TCF 10th Anniversary Festivities:
Avoid that nasty "one click too many" - and giving the Tinkerer even more of you hard-earned coins...

STEAM WORKSHOP NEWS - DEVELOPER'S CHOICE

Click the banner above to check out the Terraria Workshop! Countless Terraria texture packs and worlds await you 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. Speaking of amazing creations, we had one that caught our eye this month that we just had to add to the Terraria Workshop Developer's Choice List:

SLIME PLAYER

by Cookie Ever wondered what it would be like if a slime had that main character energy... wonder no further!

WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?

Working the list, preparing to discuss those "possible extra additions"...

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM

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.

PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS

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!
Jungle Juice has what you need when battling nefarious foes... or jumping into a hole that was deeper than you remember! --- Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME UPDATE

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. Weve got an Essen recap for you, as well as a spotlight on the Halloween promo pack unlocked during the campaign. 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! 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
Thanks to @Yakos on BGG for uploading this picture of a game in progress at Essen! If you live in the US, well be at PAX Unplugged in December; well be sharing more details in Novembers SOTG so keep an eye out! --- COMPONENT SPOTLIGHT: HALLOWEEN PROMO PACK As this is our October update and Halloween is almost upon us, it seemed appropriate to show you some more of the Halloween Promo Pack, unlocked as a stretch goal during the Kickstarter campaign and included with every pledge!
Pumpkin Armor: Gourd-ness me; dont you look fetching! Now we know that technically, this armor isnt a Halloween item in the videogame, but it seemed right to put it in this pack! This set provides a tasty boost to your base defence, but also grants the ability to re-roll your lowest value attack die once per turn; perfect for having a second go at a pesky enemy. Rotten Egg: Whats that smell? Thats right; its everyones favourite antisocial consumable! Discard this card to perform a free medium-range attack (or maybe that should be a free-range medium attack?), rolling 2 four-sided dice. Bladed Glove: Is that you, Freddy? This short-range weapon is cheap and speedy; just a single action point to roll 3 four-sided dice. 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. These Halloween items will be available in your games via the Goodie Bag, an optional card that you can add to the base game chest cards. --- NEW ART: EQUIPMENT AND HOUSES George has recently been working his way through the games equipment; here are some of our favourite pieces!
From left to right: Gold Bow, War Axe of the Night, Blood Butcherer, Dark Lance, Slime Staff, Ice Blade and Tendon Bow Weve also been working with Re-Logic to perfect the games houses; youll build these (placing their tiles into your world) to unlock new crafting stations and powerup tokens throughout the game. We wanted the earliest houses to look basic and later ones to be more ornate, representing the way that players base building skills (and the items available to them) develop over the course of the game.
Whats your favourite detail in the houses? Let us know in the comments! --- GAME DEVELOPMENT Here are some of the games features weve been focusing on this month:

• Simplification of debuffs; these are now represented by tokens rather than cards and have an inbuilt 2-turn cooldown system.
• Adjustments to objectives to preserve early game momentum
• Boss behaviour alterations
• Further quality of life changes to the character boards, Bestiary/ crafting menu and minimap console.

Heres a photo from a recent in-house playtest with Luke from fellow Nottingham-based design studio Iconiq Games (creators of the official Saw board game; very Halloween-appropriate!). A timely yoyo strike on a weakened King Slime, a mad dash to the ocean and a perfectly-placed pylon secured a victory!
Ill be back next month with another designer diary. 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!

[ 2024-10-31 17:54:44 CET ] [ Original post ]

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!

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM

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.

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

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!

TERRARIA MERCHANDISE UPDATES

TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME UPDATE

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:

• Addition of a threat track to speed up the game, incentivise Boss engagement and pave the way for threat level-dependent behaviour/ events in future expansions.
• Enhancements to the player board layout and shape.
• Implementation of an enemy retaliation mechanism.
• Addition of low-level consumables cards available to buy from the merchant NPC.
• Simplification of NPC spawning criteria.
• Improvement of the deluxe bestiary/ crafting menu layout for quicker, easier lookup.

Most of the changes above are mechanism-based, but some (like changes to the player board and the bestiary/ crafting menu) are physical. Previously we relied on manufacturers sending updated punchboard components, but Chris has recently been learning how to use an industrial laser cutter to make our own prototype punchboard components. No more cutting things out by hand or waiting for updated components to be shipped to us; we can now make a change, try it out and adjust as necessary within a very short timeframe. Its a game-changer! [previewyoutube=RSAVZcWjslo;full][/previewyoutube] --- 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.
--- 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!

[ 2024-09-26 19:57:27 CET ] [ Original post ]

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!

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.

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.

Weve also been working on physical aspects of the game, making some quality-of-life improvements to the player boards and enemy wound tracking. --- Biome Tiles: Now with Fan-Chosen Critters! A few months ago, and during the campaign, we asked for fans favourite critters, and weve been adding as many of them as we can to the games biome tiles (alongside ambient objects!). Below are just a few examples (there are many, many more!); which critters can you spot? Adding these new features has really brought the tiles to life and made each feel even more unique. Though these are just aesthetic additions, we hope youll have fun discovering your favourite critters amongst the tiles!
--- 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 DISCORD & PENGUIN GAMES PARKOUR COLLABORATION

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!

[ 2024-08-29 18:41:39 CET ] [ Original post ]

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!

PC - RE-LOGIC

TERRARIA - WHIPPING UP SOME 1.4.5 SPOILERS

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! We haven't really taken a close look at a lot of these, but we thought we might do so with a never-before-seen whip. One imbued with the very power of the Queen of the Terrarian Jungle...
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.

The team at DR Studios has been able to spend a bit of time on the side diving into Terraria crossplay in an attempt to make some progress on that in parallel to the ongoing work on Terraria 1.4.5.

TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES - SHIPPING COSTS UPDATE & MORE

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.

[ 2024-07-25 19:58:24 CET ] [ Original post ]

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

TERRARIA - OVER 58 MILLION STRONG... AND GROWING!

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...

MAKING A WISH COME TRUE IN TERRARIA

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!

TERRARIA TESTING PLAYTHROUGHS - WHAT'S IT LIKE?

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. [previewyoutube=5qqo2iJ103E;full][/previewyoutube]Could YOU pass the Terraria Quiz?

STEAM WORKSHOP NEWS

Click the banner above to check out the Terraria Workshop! Nearly 110,000 packs/worlds await you 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?

A recent in-person meeting between a few members of the team has unearthed even more interesting ideas to explore...

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM

PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS

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?

MORE CONTROL MAPPING TWEAKS

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.

THESE AREN'T YOUR PARENTS' BOMBS ANYMORE!

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!

TERRARIA MERCHANDISE UPDATES

TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME UPDATE

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.

CHECK OUT THE LATEST MONTHLY T-SHIRT ON TERRARIA.SHOP!

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! 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. 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! 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!

PC - RE-LOGIC

TERRARIA 1.4.5 - THE RE-LOGIC FAMILY GROWS!

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

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

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.

UNLEASH YOUR INNER VERMIN VIA THE RAT TRANSFORMATION

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!

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM

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.

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

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!

BANNERS BANNERS EVERYWHERE!

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!

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. These could be broad personal reflections - or even just fun little happenings that occurred along the way over the years. Without further ado, let the storytelling commence! DARTHMORF Hey everyone, Im darthmorf or Sam some of you may know me as a moderator on the Terraria forums or may have used my Terraria Logo Maker tool. 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...

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?

PC - RE-LOGIC

TERRARIA 1.4.5 - VAMPIRES AND BUGS AND CONVEYORS, OH MY!

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!

PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS

More 1.4.5 work and a smattering of crossplay work in parallel has been the name of the game in April.

TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES - UPDATE ON NEW SHIPPING SYSTEM AND ISSUE 6!

Hello everyone! Big things are afoot at 50 Amp Productions! NEW SHIPPING PARTNER COMING ONLINE - SALES TEMPORARILY PAUSED You may have noticed upon visiting the 50 Amp site that the store is currently unavailable. This is so that we can take the time needed to fully onboard our new global shipping and distribution partner without risking any disruption or orders getting lost in that transition. In addition, 50 Amp closed sales during this time in order to ensure that every existing order has been honored and taken care of before accepting new ones. The store will reopen upon completion of EVERY shipment outstanding - we do not expect this to take long, but we wanted you to know. So, what will this new system mean long term? More reliable shipping, cheaper international (non-US) shipping rates, and quicker delivery times. At the time when we re-open the storefront, Issue 6 comic and collectibles will be available to order, as well as having all products from issues 1-5 in stock. This means no delays in shipping times for any Issue 1-5 orders and a smooth release of Issue 6 when all of those items arrive at the warehouse. ISSUE 6 IS COMING SOON - COVER REVEAL! 50 Amp is also excited to have the issue 6 cover reveal to share with you right here and right now.
This image is available for you to download and print or use as wallpaper on your computers or devices - you can also request any specific sizes you might want if what we have isn't working for you.

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 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.

[ 2024-04-25 20:37:32 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?

You can only imagine the sheer amount of time and effort it took to remove almost 500 enemies/critters, 21 bosses, 5100 items, 32 NPCs, 14 biomes (and all of the mini-biomes), 82 music tracks, 586 tilesets, and so on. A small price to pay for the awesomeness that is Terraria v1.06! Starting today, you can pick up Terraria Undeluxe Edition at your favorite Steam Store! We know you will join us in enthusiastically welcoming Terraria Undeluxe Edition to the Terraria family of games!

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!

PC - RE-LOGIC

TERRARIA 1.4.5 - SKATING IN TO REPORT ON A BANNER MONTH

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!

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM

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.

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 1.4.5 - THE ADVENTURE THUS FAR

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.

OFFICIAL TERRARIA WIKI UPCOMING FEATURES LIST

---
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 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!

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?

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!

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...

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! 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.

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.

[ 2023-12-31 21:38:01 CET ] [ Original post ]

Greetings Terrarians! Thanksgiving has come and gone, but our thankfulness for all of you - your support, passion for Terraria, and so much more - will never fade. As we look to close out yet another year of Terraria development, it is a great time for us to reflect on what has been a challenging, but productive 2023 thus far. With Crossplay and 1.4.5 on the horizon, 2024 is shaping up to be a big one - thanks for coming along with us on this amazing journey. Without further ado, let's jump right in to what you came here for!

PC - RE-LOGIC

TERRARIA 1.4.5 - FISHING UP THE PAST

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!

STEAM WORKSHOP NEWS

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.

WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?

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

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM

Hello everyone! The tModLoader team and our amazing community of contributors has been hard at work improving tModLoader. On December 1st our monthly update release of tModLoader will go live. This month's release mainly contains bug fixes and new capabilities for modders. As a reminder to modders, as of December 1st any modder added as a "Contributor" to a mod on the Steam workshop will be able to publish updates for the mod directly. We encourage mod owners to ensure that all contributors act responsibly with this new capability. We look forward to this feature enabling mods to more reliably update to fix bugs that arise. Modders and users should also keep an eye out for our monthly Steam announcement on the 1st where a complete listing of bug fixes and API changes for this month's release will be listed. A recently added news button on the main menu will direct you directly to the announcement once it is live. As always, if you are having issues of any sort, definitely don't hesitate to check out our FAQ on github or reach out to us at our Discord.

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

Wow, is it almost the end of 2023 already? Our team has been hard at work to close out the year in a strong way - and we are personally hoping that next year will be the year that Terraria Crossplay arrives at long last. In the meantime, we have been keeping pace with the PC team towards the development of Terraria 1.4.5. We have a particularly cool spoiler this month, one that we think everyone will appreciate... Speaking of which, shall we take a peek? [previewyoutube=eI2Ct6hm1kY;full][/previewyoutube] Know what sucks? Having to stare at your dead character, not even knowing how that epic boss fight is going. Now you can cheer on from the sidelines as you await your respawn with the new Spectate feature! No more updates on Crossplay timing just yet - other than to reiterate that we expect it will be a post-1.4.5 addition, assuming we are successful with first party reviews, etc. Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

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 next installment of the Terraria: The Board Game designer diary. This month, Im going to be discussing setup and rulebooks, the miniature design process, painted boss models and PAX Unplugged 2023. --- Its a Setup!
We realise that were asking you to play a board game when you have the digital game at your fingertips, so were working hard to make sure that setting up the board game is quick and easy. There will be an organiser in the box to hold all the game components, and youll be discovering the world as you go, to minimise the amount you have to do before playing. We want to get you into the fun stuff as soon as possible, so were writing the rulebook in a learn-as-you-play fashion, more akin to a videogame tutorial than a traditional board game rulebook. Youll be able to set up, open the rules and start playing right away; no need to read a huge tome beforehand! New Painted Bosses! Painter extraordinaire Max has been working his magic on our latest boss sculpts; here are Eye of Cthulhu (in both forms) and Queen Bee! These miniatures will be cast in coloured plastic in the game, and youll be able to play with them straight out of the box, give them a simple ink wash, or really go to town painting them; the choice is yours!

Maxs is currently painting Brain of Cthulhu; keep an eye on our Instagram and Twitter to see the finished thing! Well also be posting a timelapse of Max painting Queen Bee --- How Miniatures Get Made Getting from a 2D sprite to a painted 3D model is a multi-person job. I make a size guide sketch at the beginning of the process and oversee the steps, but credit for the final product goes to artist George, sculptor Francesco and painter Max, as well as the Re-Logic team for their feedback and guidance! Heres a peek at how Eye of Cthulhu and Queen Bee came to life:

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

[ 2023-11-20 20:21:08 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!

TERRARIA HALLOWED 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 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!

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!

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 - 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 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! 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.

Colors for Issue 5 are well underway, as is the lineart for Issue 6.

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.

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!

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM

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

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

These latest additions have made their way into tModLoader thanks to the efforts of our amazing community of modders who have been willing to contribute to tModLoader. We always encourage modders to continue contributing features to tModLoader, as there is no better way to ensure that TML continues to grow in ways that will best support future modding efforts. Changes like those listed above allow modders the ability to make things that were previously prohibitively complex to implement. We hope players look forward to mods incorporating these new features and encourage modders to take a moment to test their mods on the preview-v2023.08 Steam branch prior to October 1st to ensure a smooth transition. We look forward to seeing how mods make use of these new features. As always, if you are having issues of any sort, definitely don't hesitate to check out our FAQ on github or reach out to us at our Discord.

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!

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 - 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).

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!

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!

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?

TERRARIA 1.4.5 - TUNES, TIMING, AND NEW ADDITIONS

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.

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM

Hello everyone! This month has flown by - with the release of 1.4.4 tModLoader at the start of August came a whole batch of mod updates and hot fixes. We hope you've been enjoying the 1.4.4 era of tModLoader! We are quite happy with how well the transition went from 1.4.3 to 1.4.4 tModLoader - it was so smooth we could call it a success! That said, if you are having issues of any sort, definitely don't hesitate to check out our FAQ on github or reach out to us at our Discord. As August comes to an end, we feel we are finally nearing cruising altitude and a return to normal scheduled updates. We have some exciting changes coming in September - including a Mod Browser Revamp... and still more improvements we've been wanting to make on the horizon while we set ourselves up for the future. As always, we kindly request that we all respect modders' time and not hassle them about porting to 1.4.4. We are greatly impressed at seeing over 85% of all mods by subscriber count have ported to 1.4.4, but we continue to ask to please be respectful of those that have not. Thank you for your understanding.

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!

TERRARIA MERCHANDISE UPDATES

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! Limited Edition Collectors Boxes are still available, or you can pick up a single bag or a tub of your favorite in the link below! MADRINAS x TERRARIA COLLECTION

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! 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. 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!

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

From the lair of the iconic Pigron itself comes the new Madrinas x Terraria Maple Bacon Flavored Whole Bean Coffee! Its perfect combo of sweet and salty notes with a smoky smooth finish will help you keep your wits about you as you battle half-pig/half-dragons or whatever else might come your way! As always, we cannot thank everyone enough for their support, we hope that you will find these latest Terraria products as amazing as we do and pick some up for yourself! Be sure to check out the cool products we launched last Friday from Eighty Sixed as well!

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

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!

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

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM

Hello everyone! We are excited to announce that 1.4.4 tModLoader will be available starting August 1st as tModLoader's default experience! After a lot of testing and changes, we are ready to release this next big version of tModLoader. We have seen significant uptake within the modding community on our 1.4.4-preview Beta, and are looking forward to a smooth transition to the next big stage. A lot of hard work went into this, so a big thank you to everyone involved. Likewise, although 1.4.4 is released from our end, there will still be some mods not yet released on 1.4.4. This may include some popular mods. We anticipate several of these noteworthy mods to release within the few days to follow, and ask for your patience as modders publish their work. For more information on the Jump to 1.4.4 and all that's happening around it, you can read more in our big announcement from earlier this month: tModLoader 1.4.4 Transition Plan We are excited to see our modding community is already more than half way to our 60% porting effort target! As a reminder, we are waiting to changeover tModLoader to 1.4.4 as the default option until the majority of mods have posted a 1.4.4 version. Please note that 1.4.4 will NOT replace 1.4.3. 1.4.3 will continue to be available in full through Steam Beta options, just as 1.3 is today. As always, we kindly request that we all respect modders' time and not hassle them about porting to 1.4.4. Please be respectful as we all wrap up this big jump forward. Please stay tuned, and thank you for your patience. Once again, we are excited to bring tModLoader to 1.4.4 age! We hope you enjoy this next era of modding, and several improvements we've made during the journey.

Final preparations for the 1.4.4 release and the subsequent bugfixing and tweaking that will be needed is taking up all of our time for now! As always, you can keep track the current progress and much more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.) Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)

PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS

Over on the Console/Mobile front, we are adding content just as fast as the PC side can put it out! We thought we would put together this fun little collage/montage of a recent testing session where we were trying out the new Velociraptor transformation.
Of course, we are also still exploring the handful of issues that remain for some players from the previous technical update: KNOWN ISSUES WITH FIXES UNDERWAY

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

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

TERRARIA MERCHANDISE UPDATES

TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME UPDATES

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!

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! [previewyoutube=WWH9RetgLJA;full][/previewyoutube]

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!

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

PC - RE-LOGIC

TERRARIA 1.4.5 - ENTERING THE (HOPEFULLY) FINAL STRETCH

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.

WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?

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

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM

Hello everyone! 1.4.4 Preview continues to be live on Steam for modders to port with. We strongly encourage all modders to update their mods and post the updates to Steam in a timely fashion. For more information on accessing the Preview build, please check out tModLoader guide for players We are excited to see our modding community is already more than half way to our 60% porting effort target! As a reminder, we are waiting to changeover tModLoader to 1.4.4 as the default option until the majority of mods have posted a 1.4.4 version. Please note that 1.4.4 will NOT replace 1.4.3. 1.4.3 will continue to be available in full through Steam Beta options, just as 1.3 is today. As always, we kindly request that we all respect modders' time and not hassle them about porting to 1.4.4. Please be respectful as we all wrap up this big jump forward Please stay tuned, and thank you for your patience.

TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP

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!

WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?

Finally, we are deep in groundwork conversations and changes to support offering 1.4.4 broadly. We will announce some of these details in the coming weeks in our Discord and on Steam. You will want to stay tuned for that! As always, you can keep track the current progress and much more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.) Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)

PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS

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

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

Now, we haven't had a Mobile spoiler in a while - so let's rectify that now! First of all, the changes to Character Creation have made their way to Console and Mobile...
But wait, there's more! Last month, the PC side showed off the icon images of a few whips. Well, why don't we look at a couple of those in action? Introducing the Soulscourge and Vasculash!

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

TERRARIA MERCHANDISE UPDATES

TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME UPDATES

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

TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES

We finally have some timing around Book One and the rollout of the issues that will make up Book Two. We expect that Book One will be available sometime in early 2024 (long story short, we need to line up with retailers' desired timelines), while we will see the story continue with the release of Issue 5 and more later this year. Of course, that is all subject to production lead times and whatnot - but we are confident in the changes that we have made from the lessons learned during the initial rollout. We expect a much smoother and more predictable release this time around! Speaking of folks that encountered those issues, we have chased down every report that the team knows about as of this point. There are a handful in process, but everyone should be taken care of as of now (or very soon). However, if you have any outstanding issues with your order, we do not want to miss you - please reach out to help@50ampproductions.com immediately so that we can take care of this ASAP. Feel free to let us at Re-Logic know via business@re-logic.com (we have been able to help several folks) if you are having any issues as well, but the 50amp email above should be the best way to sort out any stragglers out there! The art team remains hard at work on Issue 5, and we expect to have our first draft soon! We have one last member of the Goblin Army to show off this month... and maybe we will be able to give a sneak peek at a former member of the Goblin Army next time. I wonder who that could be?
Goblin Sorcerers!

[ 2023-06-29 18:37:35 CET ] [ Original post ]

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!

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.

More of the same - getting TML 1.4.4 ready for prime time and then waiting to see what Terraria 1.4.5 will have in store and how we will need to adjust/account for any changes to bring TML up-to-date. As always, you can keep track the current progress and much more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.) Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)

PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS

The team at DR Studios is aware of a handful of bugs that players have encountered on Console since the release of Terraria 1.4.4.9.2. We are actively working to resolve these issues, and we wanted to give you an update on our progress. First off, we have a few things fixed already - and we are working to add in at least a few others before submission to first parties. Second, we wanted to share our full list of known issues so that everyone can know that their reports have been heard. Of course, we welcome any and all additional information that anyone can supply regarding these bugs - you never know what might be the key piece of evidence to break open the investigation! TERRARIA 1.4.4.9.3 Fixes Done

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

KNOWN ISSUES WITH FIXES UNDERWAY

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

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

TERRARIA MERCHANDISE UPDATES

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. 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!

TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME REVEALED!

Last week, we shared the amazing news that Terraria will be coming to the world of board games in the near future. The great folks over at Paper Fort Games are hard at work already, with early prototypes already coming into focus. This board game implementation will expand the universe of Terraria by faithfully adapting and combining the digital games biome exploration, character progression, base building and epic combat with tabletop mechanisms - alongside a fresh new art style - to create a co-operative adventure that will resonate with both long-time fans and novice Terrarians. To check out all of the details, be sure to take a minute to read our post about Terraria - The Board Game, which contains details about timing, how it will be sold, and more! TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME DETAILS

TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES

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!

[ 2023-06-05 20:06:02 CET ] [ Original post ]

Greetings Terrarians! We are very excited to at long last be able to reveal that we are working with our good friends at Paper Fort Games on the official Terraria Board Game! As you can imagine, this is a huge project - and not one that we take lightly. This board game adaptation will expand the universe of Terraria by faithfully combining the digital games biome exploration, character progression, base building and epic combat with tabletop mechanisms - alongside a fresh new art style - to create a co-operative adventure that will resonate with both long-time fans and novice Terrarians! "We are very excited to work with Re-Logic; as an indie design studio ourselves, we have deep respect for what such a small team have achieved, their commitment to making the best game possible and their dedication to the Terraria community. We cant wait to bring the world of Terraria to the tabletop!" - Paper Fort Games
Terraria: The board Game box art. Dig, fight, explore and build in this co-operative tabletop adventure for 1-4 intrepid Terrarians!

What fun details can YOU find in the new cover art?

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

TIMELINE

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!

PURCHASE & CROWDFUNDING

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.

WHAT'S NEXT AND HOW DO YOU KEEP INFORMED

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!

TERRARIA: THE BOARD GAME NEWS SIGN-UP LINK

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!

[ 2023-06-01 17:03:38 CET ] [ Original post ]

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

TERRARIA CHIBICHAN MINIFIGURES

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

TERRARIA CHIBICANS WAVE ONE PREORDERS LINK

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

PREORDERS & TIMELINES

We expect that these will ship out to customers sometime in September 2023. After that point, they will remain available on Terraria.shop moving forward. All pre-orders will receive a free Gold Bunny minifigure (one per order) - these will be exclusive to the pre-order period as a thank you to the fans that pre-order any minifigures.

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!

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.

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!

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

PC - RE-LOGIC

TERRARIA - 1.4.5 SEEING PROGRESS AGAIN

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!

WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?

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

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM

Hello everyone! We are very happy to share that 1.4.4 is ready for modders to start porting mods! To set expectations, the preview is in an early access state, there are still several bugs to fix, and mods may break periodically as we make necessary changes in response to modder feedback, but we encourage everyone out there to start the process of porting your mods over to 1.4.4 if you have not already.

tML 1.4.4 is not yet what we would consider player-ready, to be clear, but it is very ready for modders to begin their work!

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!

TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP

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!

WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?

Pushing closer and closer to a player-ready 1.4.4 version of tML... and then getting ready for whatever 1.4.5 has in store! As always, you can keep track the current progress and much more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.) Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)

PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS

The team at DR is also beyond saddened by the passing of Leinfors. He has been an integral part in the testing and improvements on Console and Mobile for years - since our taking over the project and long before that. His impact is greatly appreciated and will be sorely missed. While the Re-Logic folks remain hard at work with getting 1.4.5 up to the point where we can begin our porting work in earnest (don't worry, we will catch up quickly!), we have taken the opportunity to conduct some backend technical work in order to prepare for the future (and crossplay). Of course, this is not always the most exciting kind of stuff to talk about - but it is necessary to keep the game's foundations strong, and the timing was perfect given that we needed to wait a bit for 1.4.5 to progress before we could get fully involved. What is in this technical update?

1.4.4.9.2 Change Log

Changes and additions

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

Fixes

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

Our Console & Mobile friends will be seeing this update soon, as it is almost ready for submission to first parties. We are at work now on a similar technical-side update for Mobile, which we expect to wrap up in the next few weeks. At that point, we will turn our full attention towards getting 1.4.5 on to Console and Mobile with our goal as before being a simultaneous launch with PC. ...and then, we prepare to work on entering the crossplay dimension. We are so excited to see what this work will hold! Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

TERRARIA MERCHANDISE UPDATES

LOTS OF COOL NEW STUFF COMING YOUR WAY IN 2023!

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.

TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES

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.

THE TERRARIA COMMUNITY REMEMBERS LEINFORS

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.

LEINFORS MEMORIAL SERVER

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!

[ 2023-03-30 21:07:51 CET ] [ Original post ]

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.

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 MERCHANDISE UPDATES

LOTS OF COOL NEW STUFF COMING YOUR WAY IN 2023!

It has been a ton of fun to keep innovating and bringing out cool new Terraria merch for everyone to enjoy. We also love having it all over our respective offices, homes, etc. 2023 will be no exception, as we will at long last be able to roll out some amazing pieces that we have been working on for some time. The time is not QUITE right to share any of this... but stay tuned for what is to come. In the meantime, all Town Slime Plush and the Cultist Hoodie should be back in stock this week at Terraria.shop after the Holiday rush sold them out!

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

After some hiccups late in 2022 - which caused the shipments of Issues 3&4 (as well as Issues 1-4 bundles as a result) to be delayed into the distribution centers for 50 Amp - we are happy to share that all of these shipments are on their way. Be on the lookout for your package - some may arrive even before the tracking numbers do for you (long story short, they have to enter tracking numbers to send to you by hand, and they wanted to get the boxes out first and then worry about that after). Anyone with an active order should have received an email with this information over the past week or so.
So, if you ordered Issues of the Terraria Graphic Novel, keep an eye on your mailbox (unless you bundled Issues 1-4 together... in which case, you have to wait a bit longer)! If you would like to check on the status of your particular order - or ask any other questions - feel free to contact 50 Amp at help@50ampproductions.com.

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!

PC - RE-LOGIC

TERRARIA - LABOR OF LOVE FIXES COMPLETE

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!

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM

Hello everyone! We've just about caught up to vanilla Terraria, version-wise, and have tML running well in the 1.4.4 era. We are actively discussing with the modding community on when to make the swap over to this latest version as the default/live version of tML. In addition to the "coming soon" 1.4.4 compatibility, several contributors are actively working on ways to bring new features to modders, which we will delve into at a later date. As always, we are more than happy to have more hands on deck getting these features accessible - so don't be shy if you feel like you could contribute! As we look towards closing out our initial porting efforts for tML 1.4.4, our eyes are turning back to improving tML with some long overdue localization upgrades on the horizon. Stay tuned for more information on upcoming overhauls!

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, once we have successfully moved tML 1.4.4 over into the default/live space (along with any needed fixes), we will be turning our attention towards needed localization as well as some new potential features for modders. More to come on that once we get past the release of 1.4.4! As always, you can keep track the current progress and much more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.) Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)

PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS

The team at DR Studios was able to get Terraria 1.4.4.5 (along with some bonus fixes) out to everyone over the past month. We are also excited to reveal that we have submitted the second "wave" of Terraria fixes to first parties this morning. We expect this to roll out to players starting later today, as the various companies (Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, etc.) approve and release the update. This will bring Console and Mobile back in line with the PC version at v1.4.4.9! What a great way to end the year! Mobile Dedicated Server users - you will need to update to the 1.4.4.9 Dedicated Server >HERE Crossplay planning is also in full swing, and we feel pretty good and confident with where we have netted out in those discussions. Of course, having a great plan is only one part of a much larger and longer effort to try and make Terraria Crossplay happen. Once we are able to get a better sense for if our plan will be acceptable on the Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo/Apple/Google side of things, we will try to share as much about our approach as possible - and maybe even tease you with a spoiler or two. Oh, and a lot depends on what goes into 1.4.5 and when it arrives as well - we can't have Crossplay without everyone being on the same version, after all! Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES - SHIPMENTS ARE GOING OUT!

In case you missed it, shipments for Issues 1 & 2 have been going out over the past few weeks - and we have to say, we are really blown away by the quality now that we have had our own chance to see it in person. Here is a quick photo from one of our team members to show you just what we mean: [url=https://www.50ampproductions.com/collections]
So, if you ordered Issues of the Terraria Graphic Novel, keep an eye on your mailbox (unless you bundled Issues 1-4 together... in which case, you have to wait a bit longer)! The order windows for the initial shipments of Issues 1-4 may have passed, but you can still order your package of choice for delivery in the second shipment - likely in early 2023.

TERRARIA LABOR OF HALLOW'S EVE CONTEST FINALISTS AND COMMUNITY VOTING

All of the entries are in for the Labor of Hallow's Eve contest... and holy crap, you all blew us away with the sheer number and quality of the entries.

As a reminder, the winner of each category wins some fabulous prizes - and becomes a Finalist for the Grand Prize: a real-life Meowmere Sword!

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!

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

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!

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

PC - RE-LOGIC

TERRARIA - LABOR OF LOVE GETS FIXES (BOI)

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!

TCF BUG REPORTING FOR TERRARIA

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

STEAM WORKSHOP NEWS

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.

WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?

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

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM

Hello everyone! Bug fixing continues unabated, with a focus on some resolution issues as well as making some improvements on game starting as well as server hosting. We expect this work to continue for some time as we work to make the TML experience as fantastic as possible. Other members of the team have been able to take a good amount of time to focus on bringing TML up to the 1.4.4/Labor of Love era. This work is going very well, though we really cannot give any sort of solid timeline for this release - in large part because Re-Logic is still putting out hotfixes! We have been doing all that we can to work closely with Modders as well in order to ensure a reasonable and smooth transition to 1.4.4, and not just breaking every mod day one. More on timing when we can provide an accurate estimate!

TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP

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!

WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?

Getting TML to 1.4.4 and making that launch as smooth as we can is the core focus of the team for the next little while. The team has some ideas beyond that, but we really want to focus on the short term needs for now. As always, you can keep track the current progress and such more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.) Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)

PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS

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

TERRARIA MOBILE AND CONSOLE 1.4.4.5 CHANGELOG

TERRARIA MOBILE DEDICATED SERVER 1.4.4.5

- Amazon and Google "Trial" versions are trailing behind a bit. Amazon should submit tomorrow. "Trial" will be delayed further due to an additional requirement requested by Google during submission. - Console versions of 1.4.4.5 are expected to be submitted to first parties within the next couple of days at worst. Beyond that update, we will be looking to continue with fixes until we reach the same final version as PC (whatever that turns out to be haha), and we feel like we are in a good place with fixes on Console and Mobile. On top of this, we are already in the planning stages for our attempts at Crossplay. The team has a good sense for where we currently stand as well as the potential issues that lie ahead. We will share more details of our plan once we have it a bit more fleshed out. Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

COMMUNITY

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

TERRARIA: LABOR OF LOVE UPDATE NOTES

QUALITY OF LIFE

GEAR LOADOUTS

[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.

EVOLVED VOID BAG

For those of you who aren't already familiar with the current version of the Void Bag, it is a portable personal storage container similar to the Money Trough. Uniquely, it also has the ability to automatically pick up any extra items whenever your inventory is full. However, we have added expanded functionality to the Void Bag to further enhance its role as a supplementary inventory.
For starters, the Void Bag can now be opened or closed with Right Click. When in the Closed state, it will deactivate its ability to pick up extra items, and act just like second Money Trough. When in the Opened state, however, a variety of new functionality becomes available!
Any crafting materials kept within the Void Bag will be available for any crafting recipes! You will not have to directly access the storage, or summon the portal, to be able to immediately craft with anything inside of the Void Bag!
Healing, Mana, and Buff Potions stored in the Void Bag can be used directly via their respective Quick Hotkeys. You can store all of your favorite buff potions in the Void Bag and simply refresh at any time! Mana Flower auto-potion functionality will work with the Void Bag as well! Enterprising players might keep some core buff potions in their regular inventory, with a secondary set of specialized buff potions in the bag. Depending on which mode the Void Bag is in, this will allow players to effectively hold two different potion "loadouts" at a time!
You can now Favorite items stored within the Void Bag. This has been added because you can ALSO Quick Stack to Nearby Chests anything inside of your Opened Void Bag. Favorite the things you want to keep, and then use Quick Stack for faster chest sorting!
Using Loot All on a chest with a full or nearly full inventory will deposit any overflow directly into the Void Bag There are a number of other items which will function automatically when placed in a Open Void Bag, as they would when in the player's inventory, including:

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

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!

[ 2022-09-28 14:08:15 CET ] [ Original post ]

Greetings, Terrarians! We are back again - this time with the juicy details around the release of Issue 3 of the Terraria Graphic Novel Series! Issue 3 is all about the journey and getting to know some of our party of heroes a bit better - just as our friends are doing the same as they enjoy a quick meal while camped out at an oasis. In case you missed our earlier announcement about the series as a whole, you can check out those details HERE, and you can still get your orders in for the initial shipment of Issue Two for a little bit longer (details below - but don't fret if you miss the first shipment or if you missed out on Issue One, see the note below). Our team is once again thrilled with the packages that 50 Amp Productions has put together in support of the Graphic Novel rollout - and we hope you will feel the same way! [url=https://www.50ampproductions.com/collections/comic-03]

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&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:

TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL ISSUES 1-4 ORDER WINDOWS

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

EXPECTED SHIPPING TIMING FOR ORDERS

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.

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). 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.

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.

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!

TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL: ISSUE 2 ORDERS STILL OPEN

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

TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL: ISSUE 3 PACKAGES

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

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 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.

TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL: ISSUE 1 ORDERS STILL OPEN

We are still taking orders for the first issue of the Terraria Graphic Novel. In case you missed the news or you just decided after seeing Issue Two's cover that you are all in, we have you covered. Check out the details around Issue One by clicking the banner below!

TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL: ISSUE 2 PACKAGES

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

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! 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. 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

STEAM WORKSHOP NEWS

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.

WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?

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

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM

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

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

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

TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP

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!

TMODLOADER 1.3 STILL AVAILABLE

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

How do I switch to back to 1.3 tModLoader?

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!

WHAT'S NEXT FOR TML?

More fixes, more behind the scenes work on the improvements we mentioned above - more details to come as we know more and get further down the road! As always, you can keep track the current progress and such more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.) Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)

PlayStation, XBOX, Nintendo Switch, Mobile - DR STUDIOS

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

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.

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.
