Happy new year Terrarians! “But what is this?” you may be asking.
Well, taking inspiration from Terraria’s own State of the Game posts, we at Penguin Games would like to introduce: Summary of the Server! While we won't post on a consistent monthly basis, consider this the space for everything Penguin Games, from server recaps to community happenings to even… new content? We'll have to see! 2021 was a huge year for Penguin Games, so why not just jump into it? :D

Server Recap

Like we said before, 2021 was a huuuuuuuuuuge year server-wise, seeing tons of updates, features, and more being made across the year. While we would love to go through every written detail, we feel that it’s better to give you the main highlights for 2021.

Mobile and Penguin Games - A Match Made Forever!​

45d69f66-b86f-421d-bd1c-6eb8db2b7684.png
That’s right! 2021 was the year mobile Terraria could join the Penguin Games server, through the magic of weird code malarkey. While some game modes are yet to see support for mobile, this update brought a new age of parity between PC and mobile users. Now if only console users could connect via IP!

If you’re interested in a demonstration of this new way to connect, check out ChippyGaming’s video all about it!

Giving Tools to the Community - MapEdit!​

E7U7YTcWEAQCN1r
Fun Fact: Nearly all of our maps, locations, and areas on the server are created by our lovely community builders. So a thought came along: Why not give the power for everyone to contribute in their own way?

Introducing… MapEdit! Through a simple application (it’s really simple) on our Discord server, you can start building maps for several game modes - Parkour, Who’s the Killer, Capture the Gem, you name it. The only limit is your imagination.

Unleash Your Creativity - Freebuild!​

E54nKRKVcAAV9yB
Despite every other server having its own version of Freebuild, Penguin Games was one of the latecomers. Regardless, this year saw the release of the titular game mode? Activity? Distraction? The classification is a mystery, but what isn’t is Freebuild. Unleash your creativity and build whatever you desire! And if you need some inspiration, check what the community has been cooking up.

Big thanks and much love especially to Anzhelika for all the hard work on this project, this was a big update for the server!

Blood Sacrifices - Who’s the Killer!​

wtktutorial.png
That’s right, we’re introducing blood sacrifices in Terraria. Just kidding, but what isn’t a joke is the amount of content added in Who’s the Killer, our whodunnit murder spree phenomenon. Most importantly, a plethora of maps, a tutorial, as well as two new classes - the Xenomorph and Dr. Man Fly - have been added in this blood drench game mode.

AND SO MUCH MORE!!!​

To list everything would be impossible, so you’ll just have to join the server to find out what exactly has been tinkered with.
If you need a refresher, the server IP is penguingames.fun and the port is 7777!​


Community Recap

2021 also saw a growth in the community side of things, with lots happening on our Discord server and externally!

A Transition Towards Something New - Pedguin’s Departure From the Server​

2021 saw a rebrand and disassociation from Pedguin’s Minigame Server to Penguin Games. The main reason was Pedguin’s desire to explore areas outside of Terraria and pave a new path forward. He is no longer affiliated with our server, but nonetheless, we still thank him for initially giving us a platform to create some pretty cool things. Alas, we are now pushing forwards as Penguin Games and Penguin Games only, always looking to create new creations in Terraria!

If you want to keep up to speed on the former owner, you can find Pedguin on Twitch!

Events Galore!​

Beginning late of last year, we’ve begun hosting monthly events, each with its own uniqueness to it - Maps, builds, art competitions, and so much more! If you ever take a look on the Discord server (cough discord.gg/penguingames cough), you’ll always find an event happening! Just check out what people have done in the past!

The Mysterious and Elusive Egg Hunt!​

38369952-confused-man-holding-question-mark-on-white-background.jpg
What is Egg Hunt? When is Egg Hunt? Why is Egg Hunt? How is Egg Hunt?

While the answers were more anomaly than concrete, the egg hunt did bring a following of investigators, pushing to find out the secrets of the Egg, featuring a mysterious collection of secrets & challenges spread across the lobby ranging from cryptography, an echo block maze, runes & many more daunting challenges!

Boring Statistics You Don’t Really Care About!​

It’s the best section of all, saved for last! Recapping 2021, we’ve…
  • Posted over 200 server announcements. So much new!
  • Posted over 150 community announcements. Keep it engaged!
  • Hosted over 1000 times! Have you been to all of them?
  • A lot of bans - like so much.


A Brief Touch on the Future

At Penguin Games, we're ALWAYS working on something. But the thing is, we want to keep it under wraps until we feel confident in revealing what comes. It also doesn't help that our track record for keeping promises is... not so great. That being said, what are we working on? Well, we can’t say for certain, BUT​

We’re working on lots of things. Some projects are developed while some are on the drafting board. That being said, stay VERY tuned for 2022 and beyond.
