Expert at programming or not, I'm pretty sure creating new AI's is a time-consuming task.

That's why they got plenty of time ! (I'm pretty sure they nearly finished adding stuff to the game and now they pretty much do bug fixing.)

Which in turn may require increased cpu performance and requirements, as they want to avoid forcing the game to use more cpu demanding levels. Can't say that is the goal, but after all, the game is minor in its simplicity and yet, complex in its depravity (coding wise), I hear a lot of complaints about performances on machines that are highly leveled class. Though, you cannot blame the fault on Terraria itself, mainly its XNA / .Net that deserves 99% of the blame. It's just not utilizing 4-8 cores lol.
I do think they are working on tweaking performances though. If they added new AI mechanics or deeper ai thought, you can imagine it requires a bit more cpu just to process that thought.
PS.
NYAN CAT makes appearance in Terraria, the world and our stomachs are doomed!

.Net isn't all that bad. Terraria just needs a few optimizations and it should be able to handle much more.
Anywho, im loving the Spoilers you guys are throwing out! Loving the Nyan Cat stuff :O

Yeah. The reason large worlds are the max size isn't because of .Net

You have no evidence for that statement. The fact is, Redigit has a Santa overhaul he's already showed off. Knowing that, it makes sense to at least release around Christmas time, otherwise we don't see the overhaul for an entire year, and he wouldn't put effort into something like that knowing nobody would see it for a year.
Thusly, I predict an about-christmas release.

Not sure if that was sarcasm or not xD I've worked with .Net for about 2 years now, it really isn't all that bad. it's not great but it's not bad. lol

Not sarcasm at all, Terraria is limited by engine constraints due to poor coding originally.

Um... When was this?

ok yea, It's easy to fix though. at least for me xD At least they are working hard on it to fix all these issues though

It's not something they can fix because it would require rewriting most of the gameok yea, It's easy to fix though. at least for me xD At least they are working hard on it to fix all these issues though

well ofcourse lol, there's a lot to be rewritten, so it would take some time lol, but to me, it would actually be pretty fun rewriting it, optimizing everything i possibly couldIt's not something they can fix because it would require rewriting most of the game

Say that after decompiling terraria e_ewell ofcourse lol, there's a lot to be rewritten, so it would take some time lol, but to me, it would actually be pretty fun rewriting it, optimizing everything i possibly could

lol yea i've seen, it's a complete mess xd. it would be difficult redoing things but in the end, it would open up quite a lot of possibilities for better features("Endless" worlds, better lighting mechanics, etc.)

It would take basically a rewrite of the entire game, though, and the devs don't have that kind of time.

Hmm... that sounds very familiar... *cough cough* Terraria 2 *cough*

They said that because of the limitation of the game itself (problem with the code etc.), Terraria couldn't be as they really wanted it to be. They could but it would need to redo all the code of the game, so that's why they're planning to do Terraria 2.
EDIT : NINJA'D !
