Greetings Terrarians!
Things are certainly heating up everywhere we are located - and the same can be said for all of the goings-on in the Terraria world. From development news to the results of the huge Tenth Anniversary Contest, this month's State of the Game is jam-packed with fun tidbits for everyone. The second half of 2021 is setting up to be even bigger than the first half... and its been a pretty darn first six months already! Hang on tight, Terrarians - 2021 is nearly half over, but the fun is just beginning!

Just a really cool concept done very well - enough said!
WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?
We know that everyone is starving for more information on what the Re-Logic team has been working on together. We cannot really get into too many details, other than to say that the artists and programmers have been hard at work on internal game jams, where we can rapidly iterate and evolve on game concepts as we continue to craft the vision for whatever our future projects might be.
Maybe at some point we will be able to share some of that work with you... as well as more details on what is to come... but that all will depend on when the time is right and the work is ready.
As always, keep your bug reports coming via the handy bug report button below!
Thanks again, Terrarians - we are as always blown away by your support!

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM
Hello everyone!
Another month, another month of progress on the road to TML 1.4! The team feels like things are getting closer and closer to what they would consider an Alpha build, which is an exciting milestone!
You can see all of the current progress and such at
tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.)
An official pre-launch playable alpha/beta version remains very likely - more on that as we have more to share. After we're done with that testing and any related fixes, release will be very close! At this time, however, we still can't give anyone an ETA for the full release.
Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the
tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See
tModLoader/tModLoader)
TMODLOADER ISSUES/BUGS
The Re-Logic team does not directly develop TML, so bugs with TML are best reported via the links below.

PlayStation 4, XBOX ONE, Nintendo Switch - DR STUDIOS
XBOX & PLAYSTATION
Greetings, Terrarians from the sunny and quite warm UK! Never fear, however, as we have not let the heat impede our progress one bit! The team is continuing to bang away at the remaining checklist, and we can once again report that we are completely in-line with our previously-revealed launch window. Want more details? Of course you do!
Well, we are happy to reveal that as of this writing, the Xbox and PlayStation versions of Terraria: Journey's End are officially in Beta! That's right, we have checked off all of our "A" list items - so all that remains is testing, fixing, optimization, and adding in smaller bits like some localization stuff and a handful of tweaks to already-in systems. The 505/DR-Re-Logic QA teams are currently giving everything a once (and twice!) over via full playthroughs to see how everything feels and to be sure that we find, log, and fix as many bugs as we can before launch! In the meantime, we are focusing hardcore on Splitscreen and Multiplayer to get those just right as well.
Want more? Have some more!

The customization continues with the choice of two player splitscreen (Horizontal or Vertical) being up to you! Of course when you have three or four, it will be a bit different, but we hope that this will be a nice look at some Console Splitscreen Journey's End!
STORIES FROM TESTVILLE

This isn't suspicious at all... and of course, this had to be opened in the name of science!

Wait a second, this isn't the Mushroom Biome! I must have taken a wrong turn at that last boulder trap....
Oh, and Loki wants everyone to know that the Torch God is very real on Consoles... and that he has earned his Favor.
NINTENDO SWITCH
Repeating what we shared above, we expect to have Journey's End for Switch out later this year, just a bit behind Xbox and PlayStation.

MOBILE - DR STUDIOS
Hello everyone!
Hang in there, our Mobile friends - your time in the spotlight will come again soon enough. As you will see above, we are getting ever-closer to that console release, after which we will be entering the era of "Parity" where we are going to be pushing for a world where all Terrarians are on the same version. Those will be exciting times, and we are thrilled to have you along for the ride with us!
Thanks as always for the honor and trust you give us each month to work on Terraria - it is not a responsibility that we take lightly, and we look forward to bringing more amazing things to you all as we move forward.
