Greetings Terrarians!

Things are certainly heating up everywhere we are located - and the same can be said for all of the goings-on in the Terraria world. From development news to the results of the huge Tenth Anniversary Contest, this month's State of the Game is jam-packed with fun tidbits for everyone. The second half of 2021 is setting up to be even bigger than the first half... and its been a pretty darn first six months already! Hang on tight, Terrarians - 2021 is nearly half over, but the fun is just beginning!

Just a really cool concept done very well - enough said!

WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?

We know that everyone is starving for more information on what the Re-Logic team has been working on together. We cannot really get into too many details, other than to say that the artists and programmers have been hard at work on internal game jams, where we can rapidly iterate and evolve on game concepts as we continue to craft the vision for whatever our future projects might be.

Maybe at some point we will be able to share some of that work with you... as well as more details on what is to come... but that all will depend on when the time is right and the work is ready.

As always, keep your bug reports coming via the handy bug report button below!

Thanks again, Terrarians - we are as always blown away by your support!

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM



Hello everyone!

Another month, another month of progress on the road to TML 1.4! The team feels like things are getting closer and closer to what they would consider an Alpha build, which is an exciting milestone!

You can see all of the current progress and such at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.)

An official pre-launch playable alpha/beta version remains very likely - more on that as we have more to share. After we're done with that testing and any related fixes, release will be very close! At this time, however, we still can't give anyone an ETA for the full release.

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

index.php


TMODLOADER ISSUES/BUGS

The Re-Logic team does not directly develop TML, so bugs with TML are best reported via the links below.

PlayStation 4, XBOX ONE, Nintendo Switch - DR STUDIOS

XBOX & PLAYSTATION

Greetings, Terrarians from the sunny and quite warm UK! Never fear, however, as we have not let the heat impede our progress one bit! The team is continuing to bang away at the remaining checklist, and we can once again report that we are completely in-line with our previously-revealed launch window. Want more details? Of course you do!

Well, we are happy to reveal that as of this writing, the Xbox and PlayStation versions of Terraria: Journey's End are officially in Beta! That's right, we have checked off all of our "A" list items - so all that remains is testing, fixing, optimization, and adding in smaller bits like some localization stuff and a handful of tweaks to already-in systems. The 505/DR-Re-Logic QA teams are currently giving everything a once (and twice!) over via full playthroughs to see how everything feels and to be sure that we find, log, and fix as many bugs as we can before launch! In the meantime, we are focusing hardcore on Splitscreen and Multiplayer to get those just right as well.

Want more? Have some more!

The customization continues with the choice of two player splitscreen (Horizontal or Vertical) being up to you! Of course when you have three or four, it will be a bit different, but we hope that this will be a nice look at some Console Splitscreen Journey's End!

This isn't suspicious at all... and of course, this had to be opened in the name of science!

Wait a second, this isn't the Mushroom Biome! I must have taken a wrong turn at that last boulder trap....


Oh, and Loki wants everyone to know that the Torch God is very real on Consoles... and that he has earned his Favor.

NINTENDO SWITCH


Repeating what we shared above, we expect to have Journey's End for Switch out later this year, just a bit behind Xbox and PlayStation.

MOBILE - DR STUDIOS

Hello everyone!

Hang in there, our Mobile friends - your time in the spotlight will come again soon enough. As you will see above, we are getting ever-closer to that console release, after which we will be entering the era of "Parity" where we are going to be pushing for a world where all Terrarians are on the same version. Those will be exciting times, and we are thrilled to have you along for the ride with us! :)



Thanks as always for the honor and trust you give us each month to work on Terraria - it is not a responsibility that we take lightly, and we look forward to bringing more amazing things to you all as we move forward.

Greetings Terrarians!

Here's the latest and greatest happenings on the Community side of things. Thanks as always for being the most engaged and awesome gaming Community ever!

We still have a handful of partnerships that remain under wraps, but that we will be revealing just as soon as the time is right.

Again, I didn't win. and there's nothing worse to me than wasting time for NOTHING at all. I'm really angry now and I'm not going to participate on any contest in the future because of that.
I saw my hard work and time I spent being thrown in the trash. I really, but really wanted to win, and I was thinking I had a chance, but I was wrong. It is easier to win in the lottery than here. I'm angry and frustrated, and nothing more in my life will make me happy again, thank you. :mad:🤬😤

At least you got to participate in the contest! And you had fun doing it, right?

It doesn't matter that you didn't win, because you cared enough to go for it, and thats really special.

Though, if you really do want people seeing your creations, you could post them on your profile, or somewhere else here on the forums!

Lol definitely gonna make an attempt to collect the Minifigures, and the figurine being painting is also awesome. Console in beta is so great and congrats to the contest winners as well!
 
At least you got to participate in the contest!
But that's not enough for me.
And you had fun doing it, right?
No. Really, I didn't have fun. It wasn't fun at all and I was just wanting to gain some prestige, and obviously, the prizes.
It doesn't matter that you didn't win,
Yes, it matters. And matters a lot for me. That's why I cared to complain here. At least I want the Devs to see how angry and sad I'm now.
because you cared enough to go for it, and thats really special.
Oh yes, special. Hunph. 😤
Though, if you really do want people seeing your creations, you could post them on your profile, or somewhere else here on the forums!
Not people in general, I want the Devs to say that Terrarian's build was the BEST OF ALL.
Please don't care about me, nothing can comfort me now. Stop wasting your time and go play Terraria.
 
things are still on track for console... i imagine that's about the extent of what we'll see for the next couple months or so.

i just hope that all the post-1.4 updates will be able to be done in a single update, without so much of a wait.

some advice, if you go into everything expecting to be the best of the best, you'll always disappoint yourself.

you also can't expect to be the best at something if losing makes you give up.

not to mention, if you don't genuinely enjoy doing something... it hardly makes it worth doing.

going out in such an inelegant way is not going to change anyone's mind, infact some people may take your work less seriously since you claim to not care about it.

best case scenario, someone takes pity on you... but is that what you want? to be handed a prize out of pity?

you might wanna rethink what you actually want out of life.

cause demanding to be treated like the best when you don't care about your work is not the most mature, or healthy, way to go about things.
 
I've got some personal things working in the background and I will personally vouch for the effectiveness of the game jam (which btw they mean "jamboree"). Anyone looking to just reach out and possibly expand their creative horizons, through development or otherwise, I encourage you all to experiment, even if things don't work at least you've given it a shot. This is the reason behind my Alchemystics Design mantra: "Creativity is chemistry". Where you learn in one spot, might help you with another. Be not afraid. :dryadsmile:
