@Loki how much will Terraria: Otherworld cost? I know it's going to be a much more bigger game, so I'm guessing around 15$? That's what I think.
No price points have been determined yet.
But they share pretty much the same style, which is probably because they were drawn by the same person, if I'm not mistaking? Anyway Starbound's sprites are just bigger...
There is zero overlap between anyone working on SB and anyone working on this project.
What? No. I'm "sighing" because the game isn't even out on PC yet and they're already selling out again. They could've at least outsourced the console versions like they did with Terraria. If they're working on all 3 versions, they aren't giving 100% to the PC version.
Plus I get the feeling the PC version is the one getting ported, not the console versions. If that's the case, welcome to the club Re-Logic.
If "selling out" is defined as making sure as many people as possible get to enjoy our games and their subsequent free updates (by way of reference, console Terrarians by themselves make up a rather large portion of the community), then guilty as charged, I suppose.
@Tunnel King addressed the other bits well. Whereas T1 was originally intended to be a PC-only title, with a third party coming later on to seek the ability to port the PC game over to other platforms, T: OW has been built with a more broad end in mind. That yields efficiency - in resources, in time, and so on. I'm not even sure "port" is the right terminology in this instance, to be honest. Its like the difference between making an existing car fly and designing a flying car from the ground up.
But, hey, in the end, our aim is to launch an awesome game that is available to as many people as possible/feasible. Once you play it, we are sure you guys will not be shy to let us know what you think.
Will Terraria: Other World run on Steam, or have its own launcher?
Yes, it will be on Steam.
We have not determined any other platforms at this time. Those decisions would be made based upon technical feasibility, smart use of available resources, and so on.
