• NEW FORUM NPC EMOTES •
:steampunkercool: POST YOUR EMOTES DOWN BELOW IN THIS THREAD:merchantcool:
  • Over the years, we've wanted to add to our bank of NPC emotes that are available on the forum, and have heard from many members that they'd like that as well - more than just having the Guide :guidesmile:, Dryad :dryadsmile:, Merchant :merchantsmile:, Nurse :nursesmile:, Pirate :piratesmile:, and Steampunker :steampunkersmile:.
  • Now is the time to submit any emotes that you may have made in the past, or want to make now.
    • Not all emotes will be used, but we will consider all the sprites given. They must fit the current style, and there won't be a guarantee they will be added (we are going to be very selective).
    • Current emotes are between 18 and 23 pixels, just to give you a ballpark frame.
  • Ideally, it would be wonderful if there was a smiling emote of every town NPC.
  • If other Terraria-related emotes are presented, those will also be considered.
  • There won't be a deadline for these. At a certain point the momentum will slow though, so take advantage while the hype train is focused on these.

NEW EMOTES HAVE BEEN ADDED
Thanks to @Russ Guss Doodles and @CerealSunny

• HIDDEN SPOILER •
1725569795511.png
CAN ANYONE FIND IT?
1725569795511.png


That's right. Somewhere on the forums is an exclusive new spoiler.
Who is the first that can find it?

UPDATE: @Russ Guss Doodles was the first to find it. Can others find it?
UPDATE: @Orchamut and @Kel! have now found it.
UPDATE: Lots of members have now found the spoiler!

In case you still want to try to find it...
Hint #1: Loki has always been so welcoming, even from the very beginning.
Hint #2: The spoiler is in an old thread from 2014
Hint #3: The hidden spoiler is in this thread: Welcome to Terraria Community Forums

And, if you just want to see the spoiler without looking for it (or are done with looking for it)....

We hope that you'll join us in celebrating TCF's 10th anniversary and enter one of the fun mini-events above, or even all of them! There are plenty of opportunities to reminisce and connect. Over the past decade, we’ve shared incredible moments together, and we couldn’t have done it without your support. As we mark this special occasion, we want to honor the journey we've taken and the community that has made it all possible. :guidesmile:

Do any of the paintings get into the game?
 
I know some of the forum staff has already seen it but here's my custom NPC Emotes thread

(hopefully the celebration one isn't too tall)

Now it's time to start looking for that hidden spoiler!
 
Two possible guesses for hidden spoilers:

There are 6 things numbered 1-6, where number 6 may be a reference to @:Michaelsoftman who helps us with the TML code in need

OR...
We will get in Terraria peanuts that have the tooltip "This product contains peanuts", maybe even a boulder version of peanuts.
I can confirm that those are... not the hidden spoiler. Sorry. :)

In this image, only the Nerdy Slime is facing right.

In this image, the left 5 presents are facing left, and the right 4 presents are facing right.

Is this a hint?

Nope, sorry, not a hint.
 
Maybe the hidden spoiler is the awesome memories we've made over 10 whole years of tcf?
 
I’ve found the hidden spoiler and verified it with Unit One.

However, I want to give ya'll a chance to find it on your own which is why I'm NOT going to share the full spoiler here. Good luck to anyone who wants to try and find it!:dryadsmile:

About the painting contest- I hope this question isn't too weird
I know they won't be getting added to the game, but could we still add some info in the entries like names and how they would be obtained in-game?
Just for fun at least

I can confirm that Russ Guss did find the spoiler, and I so appreciate his spirit of community in letting others have fun trying to find it as well. `:) Good luck everyone, it's out there.

Sure, I don't see why not.
 
I do not think it has to do with the release date, because the devs need to polish out the update.
(edit to prevent post spam): @:Unit One is the reincarnation Watson because @:Russ Guss Doodles is the reincarnation of Sherlock Holmes.

Happy birthday TCF!!! 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉
I’m really looking forwards to the new emotes that I’m sure will be made; especially Zoologist ones!
 
I have been looking for that spoiler all over, it's certainly quite challenging.
Tried Russ Guss Doodles' previous strategy but it seems this time the challenge is a tad harder.

I can confirm the image ID strategy doesn’t work for this one (I also initially tried it lol).

I just joined the forums to find the hidden spoiler and I'm stumped
 
Crap now I wish I was good at pixel art
 
Quote on Unit One, post #6 > I can confirm that those are... not the hidden spoiler. Sorry. :)
However that did not ruin the day as that sparked the idea to suggest peanuts with that joke label in the game, so don't worry that I was sad there.
 
If needed, there can be a hint for the hidden spoiler in the next couple days.
