Just smh if you don't float your towns up in the air over the original biome in a terrarium-like biome recreation. Desert town can't get corrupted if it's 200 feet up off the ground!

Oh hey, that looks cool. Might give it a try while I wait for other stuff to get ported. Is it something that should be played without any other mods?

Probably, it's a remake of one of the very first mods/adventure maps, pre-tmodloader.

Yeah one of the Red Cloud devs says on the page that it’s incredibly prone to crashing with any other mods enabled.

Red Cloud was an absolutely fascinating thing to play way back when. It was incredibly janky and buggy and borderline non-functional in many ways, and basically relied on the honor system of you not using digging mechanics to bypass a lot of the checks and balances, but it was one of the very first attempts to introduce custom assets to Terraria and is really neat because of it. I'll play the poo poo out of that once it's in a decently finished state.

The tmodloader devs, after finally pushing out tmodloader 1.4, see redigit talking about 1.5 and bury their heads in their hands.

However, sometimes I wish that he would put a bow on the PC version, start a new project and let the console versions catch up.

Yeah I'm not going to complain about the infinite reams of content Terraria has gotten completely free over the decade+ of its existence, but I actually wish they'd move on to making a Terraria 2 with stuff like ground-up mod support.

It's obvious that this game was originally a labour of love, which is rare in this age of cynical profiteering in every area of industry. Plus, I think that Redigit isn't beholden to a bunch of greedy, parasitic shareholders who want him to stop giving free content and move on to the hacked out, predictable sequel, but I also wish that he would start a new product.

Yeah there was that one they had licensed out, then I think fired the developer and hired another one, then fired them? I remember final word is it was scrapped for quality issues.

Honestly I think red's just aware that if he makes a new game there's a good chance it could be not great, but this one's already there so he just has to tack things on to it. It's low risk, and the effort it takes to double terraria is probably significantly less than the effort to build a whole new game that size. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a certain nervousness or fear with the idea of building something new as well.

Terraria is a difficult game to follow because there isn’t a simple way to iterate on the formula in ways that aren’t just adding more stuff and polishing the Ui and appearance (which is exactly what Redigit has done). Like the Spiderweb guy can keep on making games with new quests, settings and worlds based on the formula - i think a Terraria 2 with better graphics and a new setting wouldn’t be as interesting. IIRC the cancelled game’s gimmick was hopping between worlds. Which is a neat mechanic but it’s already been tried in Starbound and No Man’s Sky, the end result being that it lowers the stakes because the player can just up and move if their current world is too messed up or lacking in some resource. The one really unique thing Terraria has that other games don’t is that progression fundamentally alters the environment- whatever a sequel would be should double down on that.

yeah the best way to make a sequel to terraria would imo be to do it in the binding of isaac way and just remake the game with a better engine. but also at the same time at this point i wouldn’t be surprised if the engine doesn’t share a single line of code with 1.0

I've probably purchased this game a dozen times for various people and I've never felt bad or hesitated. I think I originally paid $4.99 for it on sale and have gotten a decade worth of playthroughs with an insane amount of free updates.

He kinda did do everyone a big favor by deciding on a business model of "yes, you will still get titanic content updates for this game I released over a decade ago and you probably bought for under $10" instead of pursuing a more aggressive monetization scheme or simply declining to develop and release more content. Stuff like 1.4 had enough meat to easily be a paid DLC by modern standards. There's also stuff that the dev team did not have to do but did, like making tmodloader official and working to help integrate it more smoothly. Dude is still making money, but he's doing it in about the most customer friendly way possible.

Infinitely looping worlds, left to right, where you get maybe 3 or 4 oceans between land masses that are the size of small or maybe medium worlds. Put 2 snow biomes at 33% and 66% to represent the poles. edit SlyFrog posted:My guess is that he is simply trying to point out that the tired canard of, "We have to support these developers (which often means paying out the rear end for DLC, etc.) or they'll starve!," is kind of exactly that, a canard. To be fair, Terraria has also sold more copies than almost any game ever. Part of that is the fact that it's consistently cheap and they've been adding on to it for over a decade at no additional cost, but still. Most developers can't get away with that because most developers haven't moved anywhere near that many games. Baron von Eevl fucked around with this message at 02:38 on Jul 4, 2022 |

There are various developers who have shown that you can make a good game, not have soulless, gouging practices, and still do very well for yourself. I think that is not necessarily completely fair to say just based on games like Terraria, thought, because it kind of cherry picks the most popular, surprise breakout games as the example - it would probably be far harder, for example, to provide Terraria like support for a game that is middling popular (and has the revenue that comes with that).

That was my point. Making something that sells like mad isn't a matter of work; it's luck and a ton of complicated factors. I'm not going to pat Reg on the back too hard for adding a bunch of free content because his work has been far, far kinder to him than most in terms of monetary reward proportional to effort. Plenty of devs have worked just as hard on games that had little to no success. If he had only sold 5,000 copies at $10 each then I can understand needing to get more $£€ for more content, but according to a quick search terraria has sold over 17 million copies on PC alone. I swear that some people don't understand the basic concept of marginal utility; the more money someone has the less they need and the less each additional bit of revenue means.
