Game Mechanics 'Round' Worlds

[Azu]

Really... That's fine and dandy that you don't like this idea... but tell me, where have I ever said anything about doing down makes you come out of the top... *facepalm* I can't even

What? He is talking about horizontally. ..

 

[crashboom10]

I never said anything about that either. Don't put words in my mouth.

I know, I didn't mean to post that, due to my dyslexia, I have misread your comment, apologies.

I removed the comment

Oh it's ok. Sorry, i seem angry online for some reason.

I'm working on a support signature thingie right now, I will post it maybe tonight or tomorrow!!!

 

[crashboom10]

Okay! I got the signature, its under Crash's Boxes > My thread Supports


If you full blown like this idea, slap that picture on your supports! Thanks!!!

 

[Bryce's Games]

Wow, I really do like this, I never liked that the world just... ended. Full support. Red should really read more threads...

 

[RoboCop]

All the same , I think it would be pretty cool to have Mario Galaxy-esque round worlds with a center of gravity.

 

[crashboom10]

Okay... I made it easier to put the support picture! just copy the code and slap it on your signature

the code is under Crash's Boxes > My Supports

It is a very interesting idea but what would happen when you dig to the bottom of the world? I've always imagined terraria was cone shaped.

It's the same world, just when you walk right the world repeats, like... digging down you hit hell like normal... but the scrolling/'Round' world is only left and right

 

[Necrogue]

Seems legit. Yeah, that would be interesting. It would make it seem way smoother and not being cut off by nothingness would be great!

Its already in the console version of the game, why not the PC version? +Support

Umm... This isn't in the console... Haha

 

[Cyrman]

Hold up, do you mean like worlds that loop?

Just reread through stuff in this thread, you will understand

While I'd like to see this, several game mechanics make this impossible.

I just tested this out on the VITA, the world does loop around like starbound. It is in the console version.

So in your game, there aren't any walls at the far left/right side of the world, and the ocean on both sides is connected?

Like?

 

[Necrius]

Like?

People said already - Wall of Flesh, invasions. While latter is debatable, former is utilizing the edge of a world as time limit on boss fight. I don't say about compass issue, yet it is kinda silly for it to jump from 8000 blocks east to 8000 blocks west in the middle of the ocean.
This whole thing is a crapton of work, it's not just new mechanic, but an overhaul of core world generation. So Terraria 1 is highly unlikely to ever have this. Maybe Terraria Otherworld or Terraria 2 will, but current engine isn't suited for that.
