Wait...I thought they haf finished updates some time ago. Impressive.
the thing about terraria is that the devs love to play as much as the players. so they love the game and are always interested in making the experience better. not just for the players but them too.
they're also not a massive corporate run, shareholder-pleasing company either. so they actually listen to suggestions from fans. it's the best.
They're also in the enviable position of having made a game with some of the highest profit per employee in history, so they're not under the pressure that most are.
Sixty million sales, good god. How much is that in pesos I wonder ?
About 60 million sales. The question I have is how much that is in euros.
They've been saying it's the final major update for the last like 4 major updates
They've been saying it since 1.1.2. In 2012. There have been 12 major patches since then if you count all the 1.2.X patches as one.
Me too. It's probably been 10 years since I've last played. I have a solid 64 hours played and no achievements completed. Maybe I should check it out when this update comes out. It'll probably feel like a brand new game at this point.
10 years ago was like back when hallowed armor was endgame and mech bosses were the last bit?
There's so much more content now that honestly makes the entire progression completely different
Theres also a wealth of mods now that acts functionally as a whole new game as well (calamity being the biggest one)
I love the game I just hate having to build the houses and manage the people. It's not creative it's just make these boxes in this certain way.
I am also not a fan of building stuff and making it look nice. Just follow the easy rules to make a liveable cube and call it a day. That said I think terraria is the only game where I would consider actually spending some time making it look a bit nicer since it is so easy to do. I remember last time after completing the game I looked at some other peoples builds and got inspired.
