Official Terraria for Mac & Linux In Development!

[Tunnel King]

In the screenshots, the game isn't fullscreen...

I'm sure that was intentional, to show that it was running on MacOS. If the screenshot was full-screen, then that would not have been clear.

Thanks for clearing that up for me, I got worried

I really hope they can realise it soon, i'm can't wait to be able to play again ( Bottling sucks, my map doesn't work)

Would either of those ports happen to be using the FNA Framework, which is a well maintained fork of the original MonoGame? It no longer uses the buggy OpenTK framework, and just uses SDL 2 pretty much everywhere. With that, it should definitely be possible to build once for all platforms, once a working XNA port has been ported over to FNA. Of course, that does not include any per-port specialization that may be necessary, such as save locations, or even UI additions.

At least it sure beats the old MonoGame, which had a separate source tree and thus separate frameworks for every platform.

Sadly, my school doesn't use Macs. We have a few giant Mac Screens, but can't use them. I wish we did, that way I don't get confused using their mouse.

Ah, blocky worlds and simple trees, makes me feel quite nostalgic.

If I buy terraria during the sale, will I still be able to re-download it through my Mac?

Once 1.3, the update that includes mac and linux (thats how I remember it, may've changed, I'll check the wiki in a min) then you should be able to download terraria for mac, assuming you've bought terraria.

That said, 1.3 isn't out yet nor is there a release date set.

As noted in the FAQ in this thread's OP, that is the plan.

 

[Freddy King]

YES!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!! I CANT WAIT =D =D =D =D =D =D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[admin_noah]

Any news on how this is going? Badly? Wonderfully? Slowly? Rapidly? Hungry for some news on either console or Mac development. Eager for new mechanics/features.

 

[Loki]

Nothing has changed in regards to plans here - availability around the time of 1.3.

We will update with more specifics at a later date.

So it's official that Mac and Linux will be getting Terraria?

It's been for a while now. We should be getting the equivalent of PC, and that means we'll (most likely) have 1.3 when the Mac/Linux version is released. Unless something goes wrong and we get stuck with 1.2.4.1.

@Loki ,please support Chinese Language in mac/linux when 1.3 version come out,the ios version already supported,but it have some font bug.
