Terrarian
Please constructive posts only. This is a suggestion for Terraria on PC. Please don't shrug it off and post a non-suggestion like "go play on console if you want that" or "just buy another PC" I only own one PC and will not be purchasing two additional PCs to cater to this request. I have already searched for solutions for Windows 10 that will support multi-desktop setups, as I would gladly buy 3 copies of Terraria if I could wire 3 monitors with 3 keyboard/mouse setup to my single computer, however I couldn't find anything...
That being said, I have two sons (ages 5 and 8) that want to play Terraria multiplayer with me. I read that the console version of Terraria supports this, so I am wondering if there might be a chance the PC version will support it in the future. My kids and I play all the local co-op PC games we can find (Awesomenauts, BattleBlock Theater, Castle Crashers, Rocket League, Spelunky, and the Trine series games (unfortunately they're not quite old enough for games like Gauntlet or Magicka). Yes, we have a Wii-U and play multiplayer games on there, but even that is limited when it comes to 3+ players...I noticed Terraria will be release on the Wii-U next year, but again it's a different developer/game altogether IMHO. All of the console graphic capabilities are super unimpressive, and (again) I can't use a controller to save my life. I'd much rather be able to enjoy a 120fps local co-op game on my PC.
If you plan on supporting it, I really enjoy the LEGO-style coop where IF you are all on the same screen, you share the screen, but if you walk too far away from each other, it splits the screen from there on. I'd be happy to be a part of any testing/feedback if you decide to go that route. They would probably be happy using controllers too if you want to include controller support (I did notice the lack of controller PC support)..
If anybody agrees that local co-op would be worth the effort, please post your approval, and suggestions.
AND to the Dev's. Thanks for an amazing game. I have friends that have played for years and I shrugged it off as an outdated game without ever trying it, until I bought it for my nVidia Shield Tablet for my 8 yr old son (to try and sway him away from playing Minecraft!!) and he ended up liking Terraria more!! But watching him play with the touch-screen controls (and the frustrating lack of controller support on tablet.....) forced me to buy it for him on PC. We now have over 100-hours of in-game play over the last month and are itching to play more!
