A Progress Update on the Road to 1.3! Pre-Alpha Gameplay Inside!

[Fearlessmuffen]

Okay, I am really annoyed about getting the update news about the 1.3 especially news about what's going on mobile.

why are you annoyed, mobile is getting it also.

hes triggered because the mobile update comes later.

I am not annoyed about getting the update, I'm annoyed there is no news about mobile development.

What news are you seeking? Timing? I have not heard of any changes from the previous timing they gave. As for "what it will look like on mobile", I assume we will start seeing that once Console is out of the door and into the hands of those players.

Not the timing Loki, the news about what going on in mobile development. They can release a gameplay teaser like that. #haysst But as you said, after the console is released, then, I can start to see teasers for mobile. Long time to wait for mobile news. Darn it.

hes triggered because the mobile update comes later.

Again I'm not triggered about the mobile is coming after the console. What I am trying to say is news about mobile somewhat video teasers like that

This thread in particular is about Console, not Mobile, so it won't be released here.

Furthermore, it's PipeWorks' show now, and I don't know how big their team is, or if they have projects past Terraria, but it's fairly likely that they aren't working on Mobile very much, because they're busy with Console.

I don't think so. The video is particularly for console but the news is for both mobile and console. I am not angry btw.

They speak little of Mobile there, and this is under the Console section of the forums anyway, not Mobile, it's mostly for Console.

Also, This, from the OP.

Our plan is to utilize good portions of what we have built and learned with the console rebuild as we work to build a similar "One Terraria" experience on mobile devices.

They will finish Console before working on Mobile.

This thread covers both console and mobile - just to clear that up - and it is cross linked in both sections. So, the discussion is fair game.

Do you not remember 1.2.4? Mobile got it at the same time as console and they had to split the update up for console so any bias towards console isn't credible.

If they were to be working on console Wich is BOTH PS4 and Xbox one and mobile at the same time we wouldn't see it until possibly late NEXT YEAR

It IS credible because that was 505 and this is pipeworks

 

[ChibiXM]

Yay Console is getting some love! Its a miracle because me and my squad been waiting for this for like our entire lives high hopes on a soon release! ^_^

 

[WolfTheAlpha]

Can't wait for 1.3 I'm gonna need a lot of coffee cuz I'm gonna be up all Day and night for a few weeks or more trying to defeat moon lord And I can't even defeat duke fishron so how am I supposed defeat moon lord I'll probably die 50 times before I defeat him i might not even defeat him at all hope everyone else has a good time

 

[MBraderz]

Aren't 505 the publisher?

Pretty sure it was Engine Software who was the developer back then

 

[CrimsonRed1710]

They aren't showing any news for mobile because the changes are gonna be about the same (except expert turkor/leupus) and
if you saw they said that mobile would get updated a few months after console, and pipeworks can't do 50 things at once. They are currently working on TerrariaConsole, TerrariaMobile, and TerrariaOtherworld they have to focus on one job at a time

 

[A Tub of Butter]

Just a reminder this friday (4/21) is suppose to be a Terraria stream day with Pipeworks. (Unless they are on Holiday all week, I know they were still on Holiday yesterday.) This is a great chance to get to know Pipeworks and ask questions you want answered from the Staff they are permitted to answer. (Just an FYI they are under a NDA so they can only answer questions they are allowed.)

And Remember although we don't have a Date, all indications point to and Pipeworks themselves have said they are on schedule. So with that in mind Terraria 1.3 should be released for console somewhere in the next 73 days! (Excluding today. I got that number by simply adding the amount of days in May and June with the remainder of April's.)

Good day, Terrarians and a Happy 2017 from Pipeworks!

It has been a few months since we announced our taking over the work on Terraria for Console and Mobile; including a full rebuilding of the Console/Mobile codebase. We are happy today to be able to give you an update on progress - and to showcase some of what is coming your way on the road to 1.3 for Xbox One & PS4!

The video above contains a few snippets from our latest build - contrasted with the identical content from the PC version of Terraria so that you can see our end goal of "one Terraria experience" coming to fruition. We hope you join us in our excitement when you see this small taste of what we are building for each of you; including a new "friend" who is dying to meet you.

Keep in mind that this is a pre-alpha build so you may notice some bugs appear, however we couldn’t hold off any longer releasing some footage!

So, what about timing? Glad you asked:

Console

• Our work is progressing on-schedule, and we are really pleased with the progress thus far!
• We are quite close to moving to Alpha and beginning the rigorous testing/QA process in partnership with our friends at Re-Logic.
• Target Timing for release of Console 1.3 remains Q2 2017.

Mobile

• Our plan is to utilize good portions of what we have built and learned with the console rebuild as we work to build a similar "One Terraria" experience on mobile devices.
• Of course, there will still be a good bit of work needed on mobile-specific areas (UI, Controls, etc) beyond getting that core foundation solid.
• Target Timing for release of Mobile 1.3 remains a few months after Console, so you can expect this in the second half of 2017; hopefully sooner rather than later!

The Pipeworks team is quite pleased with the progress the team has made thus far and continues to make every day. We are even more thrilled to give you a sneak peek at some content that will be arriving soon!

So when it means clear or whatever, are we gonna lose all of our stuff we got in the game so far?

Here is more info from the announcement post that was linked.

Clarification on Reset
There has been significant confusion about the reset, so to clarify, the intentions of ReLogic and Pipeworks is to be able to seamlessly integrate old worlds and player files into the new codebase for Console Terraria. This is not expected to delete your old saves, its merely a rewrite of the game's code, so your progress should be safe!

 

[evoruise]

We are in Q2 of the year, hope to have news from Pipeworks regarding of progress.

Maybe they might intend to release 1.3.1 as Console 1.3. What do you guys think? or they may also stick with 1.3 as Console 1.3.?

Ps: it's just my opinion. It's not official

No but when the update comes Just make sure you don't have any modded items or it could corrupt characters,saves and worlds

The Console or Mobile versions are not supposed to be modded to begin with, so anyone who has done so is on their own when that indeed happens.
