How can you get this big ass maps picture w/e?

look somewhere around page four or five, there's a link to the download

Hay guys.

Is this game any good? I loved Minecraft and I wanna check this out. Looks like Minecraft in 2D with Final Fantasy sprites and Castlevania enemies. I've always been an advocate for originality in vidya games, so I would appreciate input from you Terraria pros. If it is any good, I would gladly fork over money to this influential indie developer.

It's great, but it does kinda... run out of content. Thankfully they'll be updating it, though.

Can't find it :/. Ill look it more calmly when i get home tonight.

They did release the game early, but even for $10, it's totally worth it. And they're planning updates every 1-2 weeks with new stuff - I'm really excited for what the game will look like by the end of June/early July (when it was originally planned to be released).

TL;DR: It's an awesome game, especially since it's only $10. Buy it, Mark.

If anyone hasn't seen, someone's made an app to roughly map out your world: http://localhostr.com/download/ybRNne3/T...Mapper.zip

Just drag the .wld onto the .exe and you'll get the .png

I was tired of trying to find the floating islands and then waiting to get my butt kicked by Eye of Cthulhu because night came. When I used this, mfw: http://piclair.com/data/iz91u.jpg

RIGHT BESIDE THE TOP OF OUR TOWER. ;_;

For the guy above me (:

so i just beat skeletron (gold helmet, cobalt others, five feral claws, switching between starfury and blade of grass, 20~ big potions), and i'm going through the dungeon but... i feel like i kinda beat the game. lol ready for some content patches~

Challenge time, i'm not sure if you can but try to summon several bosses at once in a new world, fight skeletron and eater of worlds and eye of c'thulu at once? :'D

My problem is that the game is slow at first but when you get some good items it snowballs and you quickly finish up the rest, the progress should be the same speed all the time imo :l

You can. Somebody fought 2 EoW, Skeletron, and the Eye at once. And I don't feel like that at all - I still have issues with the Underworld (heck, I just lost my platinum coin down there. Protip: Die, and the money rounds down. Save your money in your piggy bank before you leave ._.). And even after getting the shadow set, it still took some time getting the others.


Losing the platinum coin did pay off though...kinda.

SO JELLY RIGHT NOW.

SO JELLY RIGHT NOW.

Lol, come on and I'll help you hunt for one. :p

Thx for the program made my life a little easier >.<



Now i don't know if i should keep digging my Tunnel till i reach underground or try my hand with the dungeon boss XD

Btw took a Hook and a book borrowed in the SP server hope you people don't mind.

Book as in Water Bolt or just book the decoration? And between us are plenty of hooks, so that shouldn't have been an issue.

A plain normal book. Thought i could make it a water bolt but so far no luck >.>

the water bolt books are completely different from the decorations

Yep. The only way to get them is to take books from the dungeon until you come across one.



As far as Skeletron, just go in with a bow and make a flat platform above the dungeon entrance - you shouldn't have too much trouble.

Sooooo a found a few things (Besides that water is strange in this game >.>):

-For example: if you fill a square room with water, and then fill that square with any block, the blocks absorb the water ergo the water is lost (I was trying to find if water would rise but no >.>)
-In the same square room full of water but with 5 blocks of depth bellow the square: It seems if you dig 4 squares deep the Water level will stay the same. (Only a theory have to test it fully in a real square room >.> (Doesn't)
-Doors can contain water if they are closed, Wood platforms DON'T contain the water.

Anddd nothing else still digging my way to the underworld, im on the Deep Underground right now.

Bump for epicness

Progression has been pretty slow over the last week. I've actually been in the middle of moving. I put an offer on a house before the first trailer went public, and got the keys to it the day before Terraria was released. (Great timing, huh?)

I just finally got my workspace set up at the new place, so I should be able to get back to the grind early next week. But enough about that, let's talk about the future of Terraria.

My immediate focus for the game will be patching up the remaining bugs, implementing Steam features, and of course working on multiplayer to make it more secure and accessible. Multiplayer is a bit of a mess right now, and a dedicated server with no graphics card requirements is very much needed. Content progression will be slow for the next few weeks until we get all of the necessities taken care of. Though, we will be adding a few new things here and there to keep you interested.

In the long term, we will not just be adding content, but new mechanics as well. Some of the ideas the we have been playing around with are:

• Pure PvP servers with team based objectives. Worlds will be generated before every match. Imagine a CTF server where towers are automatically created on either side of the map. Players can fight it out on the surface, or try to tunnel into the other tower.
  
• Adding sloped/inclined tiles to make the world smoother.
  
• New harder world types to continue game progression (Ex: Alien plants, alternate dimensions, evil worlds, etc.)
  
• Enemy factions that will move into your world, and build their own city. You can slaughter them while they are weak, or let them build up their strength to get better rewards.
  
• More events: Volcanoes, earthquakes, more/improved invasions, etc..
  
• Weather: Seasons, snow, floods, etc..
  
• Farming, and stamina system that gives a bonus to player stats.
  
• Mechanics for making traps and devices.

Terraria has endless possibilities, and there is still a lot more that we want to do with it. In the meantime, please be patient while we get the last few kinks worked out.

Excited.

One thing i'd like would be if monsters would spawn in areas you weren't at either in single player and if you could hire soldiers or something to protect your city.
Or something.

I would like monster spawners or something since im already end game and was planing to design a gauntlet or something to pass the time. But i guess if they implement those trap features...

Anyone buy this yet?

I never played on Steam before, wondering if getting Steam + Terraria is worth it?
