Terraria News

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...





[h2]TERRARIA - WHITTLING DOWN THE FINAL LISTS[/h2]

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!

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

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







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.



[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)





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!

[h2]TERRARIA MERCHANDISE UPDATES​[/h2]
[h3]
TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME UPDATE[/h3]


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 month’s designer diary, I’ll be sharing development news, playmat and Developer Set art, videos of our latest Boss miniature prototypes and a look at how we’ve 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, don’t worry! Late pledges are now available by clicking the link below...

TERRARIA: THE BOARD GAME CAMPAIGN LATE PLEDGES

---

Let’s jump in!

PLAYMAT ART
In my last design diary, I shared George’s 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 game’s playmat. He’s been hard at work bringing that scene to life and we’re very excited to reveal the full-colour art below!



Here’s the process from first sketch to final art:



We’ve 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 you’ll be building your world on this side of the mat, we’ve opted to keep it relatively simple, so it doesn't detract from important gameplay information:



We can’t 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 you’re 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 isn’t 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 won’t 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][/previewyoutube]

---

GAME DEVELOPMENT (AND LASERS!)
Here are some of the game’s features we’ve 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. It’s a game-changer!

Playmat Sketches
One of the add-ons available with Terraria: The Board Game is the giant world playmat. One side features the game’s 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 George’s black + white work-in progress sketches of the showdown art. We can’t 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! We’d 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, we’ll be showing Terraria: The Board Game at Essen Spiel in Germany; the world’s largest tabletop game convention. If you’re coming to the show, we’d love to meet you; please stop by Hall 4, booth 4C430 to check out the latest version of the game (we’re 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:

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!





[h2]TERRARIA - WEATHERING THE STORM[/h2]

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][/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!

Whittling down the list of remaining items, discussing what - if anything - should be added to said list.







Hello everyone!

The tModLoader team and our amazing community of contributors continues to improve tModLoader. On September 1st the monthly update release of tModLoader will go live. This month's release contains many improvements to the user experience, some gameplay bug fixes, as well as new features with examples and documentation for mod makers.

One new feature we want to showcase in particular is in-game workshop tag filtering. This has been a highly requested feature and we hope this new filter will help users find the mods they want more easily in-game. We expect this feature to especially help users find mods that support their native language.



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

This month, the DR team spent a good amount of time on some polish and QOL projects specific to Console and Mobile that we have had on the list for a good while. While we are keeping pace well with the development pipeline for Terraria 1.4.5 on PC, we were pleased that we had some available time to go ahead and tackle these rather than having to wait for a future update. More on that at a later time. That said, let's check out a quick Terraria spoiler, shall we?
[h2]
IF YOU LOVE YOUR CRITTERS SET THEM FREE![/h2]

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!

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


Hello Terrarians! Chris here, lead developer at Paper Fort Games. This month, we’ve 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, don’t worry! Late pledges are now available by clicking the link below...

TERRARIA: THE BOARD GAME CAMPAIGN LATE PLEDGES

---

Game Development
Over the past month, we’ve been fine-tuning some of the game’s mechanisms and rules based on feedback received from backers and playtesters. Here are some of the features we’ve 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.
  

We’ve 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 we’ve been adding as many of them as we can to the game’s 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 you’ll have fun discovering your favourite critters amongst the tiles!



---

Modular Miniatures
We’ve been working closely with our manufacturing partners on the boss miniatures to make sure that they’re easy to put together and take apart; below are examples of the ‘key’ system we’re working on. We’ve 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 isn’t 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. We’ll 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 game’s 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 George’s black + white work-in progress sketches of the showdown art. We can’t 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 campaign’s 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:

[h3]TERRARIA DISCORD & PENGUIN GAMES PARKOUR COLLABORATION[/h3]

For our next Terraria Discord event, we have partnered with Penguin Games to create a parkour speedrun event! This speedrun event will have two separate brackets to ensure everyone has a chance at getting a place no matter their skill level.

The beginners bracket will play the course: Empyrean. The experienced bracket will play the course: Sans.

Because the experienced bracket will be running on a more advanced course, the prizes for placing high on the leaderboard will be more grand. While you can only submit active times for ONE BRACKET, you are free to switch for any reason. When switching brackets, the event team will remove any times you had from the leaderboard from the bracket you're switching from. Because of this though, we will not be doing a public leaderboard until the event is over.

Join the official Terraria Discord and visit our #server-announcement channel for all parkour event details.




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

Greetings Terrarians!

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!





[h2]TERRARIA - WHIPPING UP SOME 1.4.5 SPOILERS[/h2]

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.

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

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

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





The team at DR Studios 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. The sooner we can get to the unanswered questions there, the better, right? Again, no promises, but we are happy with the progress thus far. That said, shall we dive into some 1.4.5 spoiler action?


CHANGE YOUR VOICE, FOOL YOUR FRIENDS, FUN AT PARTIES!

Why be stuck with the same old human voice effects when you can embrace your inner zombie... or turkey?

Terraria 1.4.5 introduces all new accessories that will allow players to change the way they sound.

TERRARIA - THE BOARD GAME UPDATE[/h3]


Hello Terrarians! Chris here, lead developer at Paper Fort Games. The Kickstarter campaign for Terraria: The Board Game might be over, but the work continues at Paper Fort HQ! I’ll be carrying on with my designer diary over the next few months, providing a behind-the-scenes peek at the ongoing development and manufacturing process, but this month I’m going to recap our favorite bits of the campaign.

If you missed the campaign but would still like to get your hands on the game, don’t worry! Late pledges are now available at the link below:

TERRARIA: THE BOARD GAME KICKSTARTER RECAP

Over 15,000 Terrarians supported the campaign, raising over 2 million dollars; what an incredible total! It’s not all about the final number, of course; we had a fantastic time getting there too. Here are some of our campaign highlights:

- We unlocked over 50 stretch goals to maximise the content and quality of the game, including a transparent King Slime boss miniature, promo packs, deluxe dice, developer vanity sets and a foiled, uniquely numbered, limited edition Pwnhammer card for every backer!



- We were able to support conservation charities via our social goals; we've adopted an orca, penguins, a beehive and a vulture on behalf of the Terraria community, as well as planting 100 trees!



- We held an AMA over on the official Terraria Discord and answered loads of great questions from fans; about the game, about working with the Re-Logic team and even about our favourite snacks… You can read all of the questions and our answers here: PAPER FORT GAMES AMA RECAP.


Thanks again to the amazing Discord mod team for hosting the AMA and for the community for making us feel so welcome!

- We hosted an in-game build contest, featuring some incredible entries!



Thank you again to every single one of you who supported the campaign in any way; we really, really appreciate it and we’re very excited to show you more over the coming months!



Again. if you missed the campaign but would still like to get your hands on the game, don’t worry! Late pledges are now available at the link below:

[h3]TERRARIA GRAPHIC NOVEL SERIES - SHIPPING COSTS UPDATE & MORE[/h3]


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 [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) 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, Booksamillion…you 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.
