Terraria News

Terrarians!

We have been hard at work filling all outstanding orders and preparing things for a couple big announcements. Let's not waste any time and get right to it!

We will be reopening our web store on Wednesday June 26! Thanks for your patience while we took the time needed to fully integrate our brand new logistics and fulfillment system. We are confident that you will have a better experience moving forward. Lower international shipping costs and more reliable and timely delivery should be the expectation with our new logistics partners.

Check out all of the Terraria Graphic Novel Issues over at 50ampproductions.com!

As of now, every item we make from Issues 1 - 6 is ready to go, and all orders will ship within 5-7 days of you placing your order! If you have been holding out to avoid the wait that comes with preordering, this is your time. Catch up with Vale and his friends from your favorite video game!







Speaking of Issue 6, we are proud to reveal that it will be available for order when the webstore opens this Wednesday - along with some new collectibles we created to go along with it. They will be available on www.50ampproductions.com, same as with previous issues, but to reiterate that this time around, we are NOT doing preorders. We have issue 6 materials in stock TODAY and all orders will ship within 5-7 days of you placing your order!

Terraria Issue 6 - Platinum Package

As usual, you will be able to pick up Issue 6 by itself - or you can upgrade to the Gold/Platinum packages that come with an assortment of collectible goodies, including:

• Bonus Vinyl Sticker Pack - Featuring Helen the Nurse, Gallius the Traveling Merchant, Goblin Tinkerer, and our hero Vale
  8x10 high quality poster depicting a battle between Vale and Helen the Nurse vs the all-powerful and slimy, King Slime in Chibi style
  The sixth trading card in the ENEMIES series – KING SLIME
  The sixth trading card in the HEROES series – GALLIUS, THE TRAVELING MERCHANT
  Metal variants of both the King Slime and Gallius Trading Cards
  Challenge Coin celebrating the defeat of KING SLIME
  Terraria magnets – create your own Terraria scene on your refrigerator

You won't want to miss out on where the journey is taking Vale and crew next in the World of Terraria! Here's just a little teaser of what lies ahead...







The paperback collected edition of volume 1 of our story (issues 1-4) will be released on October 15. You can preorder your copy on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or your local comic shop to ensure that you have your copy the day it releases. We have included a few links below - but you can also check your favorite shop to find out more!

Each Book release is planned to include some extra goodies that will only be available within each Book. For now, we will reveal one of our favorites - we are planning to add "Terraria Short Stories" - special side stories that take place outside of Vale's main journey. What are those NPCs doing when you are out of town? What other crazy adventures and happenings occur in Terraria? We hope these Terraria Short Stories will be a fun treat for everyone as we seek to explore parts of Terraria that are a bit off of the beaten path!

As we are able to confirm additional content available for each Book, we will let you know!

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...

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!



[h3]ABOUT MAKE-A-WISH® NEW JERSEY[/h3]


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 child’s 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 world’s leading children’s charities, with 57 chapters serving children in every community in the United States and its territories, and nearly 40 international affiliates.

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!





[h2]TERRARIA 1.4.5 - THE RE-LOGIC FAMILY GROWS![/h2]

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!

[h3]KAZZYMODUS[/h3]
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!

[h3]JOPOJELLY[/h3]

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.



[h3]UNLEASH YOUR INNER VERMIN VIA THE RAT TRANSFORMATION[/h3]

[h2]STEAM WORKSHOP NEWS[/h2]


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.



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

Lots of bug fixing, some balance work, and a few fun inventory management QoL ideas that we hope work out...







Hello everyone!

The tModLoader team and our amazing community of contributors continues to improve tModLoader. On June 1st the monthly update release of tModLoader will go live. This month's release contains several UI fixes and stability fixes.

This month we've fixed a few UI issues: some fixes for the ModPacks feature, some UI fixes for multiplayer connections, and a UI fix for Mod Browser / downloading mods.

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

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



[h2]TMODLOADER STEAM WORKSHOP[/h2]

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



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

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

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

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





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!


[h3]
BANNERS BANNERS EVERYWHERE![/h3]

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, we’ve 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!

[h3]TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES - UPDATE ON NEW SHIPPING SYSTEM AND ISSUE 6[/h3]

Hello everyone!

We tried to have an update on the new international shipping system integration and the re-opening of orders ready in time for today's State of the Game, but we ran into some last minute technical issues that we want to iron out first. Most important is ensuring the best possible customer experience when we open up the gates. When we reopen, we will unveil the issue 6 materials and this time, they will be in stock as we begin taking orders, so we will be able to ship new orders without delay.

Won't be much longer - we figure it will be sometime next week, barring any more last minute problems.

Stay tuned!!!
