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.
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.
I bought Terraria years ago for like $3 while it was still beta testing/first launching. I have played over 900 hours and still get use out of it. Some of the best $3 I've ever spent
I was so excited for the game that I got ahold of a leaked alpha before the game released and played that. And then of course pre-ordered the game and played it immediately when it released.
I was just scrolling on Steam one day and saw it. Loved the music and the aesthetic and when it went on sale (back when the Steam sales were mindblowing and Newegg was also mindblowing), I got it. Love it so much but these days I use TEdit/a map editor to make pretty designs on my worlds. I have a lava swamp in hell, a drag stage/nightclub in hell, several glittering giant forests (snow, fairy, and halloween), an erupting volcano, an amusement park off a pier, lots of planets in space, and my mushroom surface biome is starry night themed.
Meanwhile my brother in law plays huge pvp campaigns with his friends on maps they mod together, and I had a friend who made those puzzle haunted house type maps. You can do so much in that game it's wild.
I tried to get into terraria so many times, but this 2d perspective is just not doing it for me. For the same reasons, I don't play metroidvanias and platformers. There are some platformer that I like, Gris, for example, but that's not exactly the same. I have no problems with Core keeper or Stardew valley, so the genre is not the problem.
I need to reconcile with it and accept that some games are just not for me.
