can y’all maybe add old mobile controls back?

Just recreate them yourself via the Control Editor - Stick Jump swipe - Autoswing on - Turn off ALL buttons and just leave the two sticks - Use and Aim On

Done.

Long Answer - the pre-1.3 controls were far to simplified and full of conflicts and overlaps as a result when you compare with what is needed for 1.3+.

Sorry but heres another question.

What were you guys planning for the Swamp, Hell and Candy biomes? I read in the wiki that they were supposed to be alternatives to the Jungle, Underworld and Hallow biomes respectively, but does that meant only one would exist on world creation? ex: If you get a Swamp biome, the Jungle biome wouldn't exist at all in that world.

The Swamp was intended to be an alternate to the Jungle. The initial design was done prior to us adding a lot of new content to the Jungle and it ended up being too large of an alternate to do. The Candy Biome was going to be the alternative to the Hallowed. Had this happened it would be similar to how the Crimson and Corruption work where you would only get one.

In the Otherworld OST, Otherworldy Plantera is titled "Rage of Tarunnk"

...so, who was this Tarunnk supposed to be?

I mean, Tarunnk was meant to be Tarunnk.

This is to red if he sees it, how did you come up with the idea for the game and do you think it lives up to your original vision in its current state? Also not a question but thanks to you and the rest of the team for such a great game

I wanted a game that I could play with friends. I took elements from many other games that I enjoyed playing like Castlevania, Minecraft, Metroid, Zelda, Dwarf Fortress and Liero. The game has gone above and beyond all expectations.

I have a few questions for Re-Logic in general

  1. What does it take to join Re-logic as an intern or an employee?
  2. When will Terraria 2 be announced?
  3. Will there be any new secret seeds? (such as Oops! all ocean! which has an alt name of Angler's Paradise.)
  1. Almost all of our folks have been sourced from the community after proving they had what it takes to fill a need on the team.

  2. Whenever we felt the time was right?

  3. Never say never.

any updates on console 1.4

It is in development - conservatively, it will come out Q3 this year. We'll announce any progress or changes as it gets closer to launch. Hit up that monthly State of the Game :)

Definitely Redigit. It is a toss up between Stuff Cannon, Land Mines, Dungeon Gaudian and blowing Yorai up with dynamite.

Won't likely just add back the "old" controls - but they mobile team has added loads of options and customizations that make it very easy to accommodate different play styles

What was the hardest choice during development?

Whether or not to add loot boxes.

Which we did.

In the form of fishing crates.

Hey, I saw your thing about biome torches, and I think they're really cool! However, I think it would be even better implemented if the idea were extended even further, into furniture!

You wouldn't mind making biome specific lighting sources and building pieces, like sandstone fireplace and chimney, and a sandstone fireplace, and the option to have one lit up with biome specific torches that would contribute to torch luck, right? A mudstone brick fireplace sounds pretty nice!

Are you willing to add in "the sling" as a weapon, one that would fire sling stones or even specifically crafted "sling bullets" to fire at enemies? I think it'd be a really useful application of granite.

Speaking of granite, you wouldn't mind adding sphlarelite as a material that has a chance of dropping from Granite enemies, that can be combined with 9 copper ore to create 3 bars of brass? Which could be used to make meteorite swords and bows?

Are you going to make Thorn's Pot...

Are you suggesting the Furniture God?

Are you mad?!?!

Weird question but: do you guys have some kind of headquarters or do you just work from home? I never really understood how indie companies worked on games.

I work from my top secret brewery hidden away inside of a secret, non-descript bunker.

We all get together every now and again. For pizza.... with pepperoni and pineapple. and games... lots of games.

Why were the platform exclusives removed instead or ported to other platforms?

Those were not added by us and never really fit the vision for the game. So, we had to make that call - and we did.

Not saying they were bad or wrong, just done at a very different time and phase of the game... and they don't really have a place anymore.
