Terraria is dead!

Why are you relating games to drugs, this isn't that shady part of the neighborhood.
xD

 

Because if i say that KAG is addictive like horse fart on a pigs farm i think some of the people will not get it as they do when you say drugs...But killing,shooting,slicing and blowing up characters whit loads of blood and body parts is just fine,it is that shady part of neighborhood

 

From that link, the dev says this:

"My wife and I are due to have another boy soon, and I want to spend some time getting to know him."

No other reason is needed to stop work on a game. Family is the most important thing in life - hands down. I have much respect for this guy as he understands family always comes first, and in the end video games are well.. just video games.

 

Yeah what MacD said, from a developer's stand-point they want us to buy more, because it's all free if they just update the original game. Besides, they could also get a new engine for T2 etc.

 

I am not disagreeing with you, I think that is amazing! But it does say he is starting work on a new project already so, I think he just needs a break from Terraria.

 

Gear based? O.o its not a PVP centric game. No amount of skill will let you mine obsidian with a copper pick, gear is just a natural side effect of progression. If it was all about pvp they'd get rid of the star cannon !

 

Redigit was a pretty hard working guy, shame he provided everyone with false hopes.

What he should do now is basically pass terraria on to another development company, Gaslamp games are interested in taking over it.

 

That'd be great, I like Gaslamp.

 

This pisses off so many people because of all the fucking "promises" that were made, just checking out that one wiki article should be enough to make someone understand it. All that stuff was ultimately just advertising something that they wouldn't deliver.
Really feels like Notch 1.5.
Also, "normal" people don't just drop their WORK(which Terraria was for him, apparently at least until he got dat money flowing) even when they have family.

On another note, Starbound looks interesting.

♦Redigit, the developer of Terraria is taking a break from Terraria's developing to raise his soon-to-be-born child. But don't worry he may get back after a month, a year but he will come back.​

stop freaking out :p​

 

Yep kinda miss high horsing with my creations in that horrible community.

 

With a game like Terraria, I don't think its a dick move to create a new game. You should think about it from a business point of view. Now being greedy would be releasing DLC characters for games like Mortal Kombat and Marvel VS Capcom3 or even a whole new game MvC3 ultimate for another 60 bucks. If its another 10-15 bucks and the updates are free as is, I don't think its bad to pay for a new game especially if its been a year or more with free updates.

 

I agree with all except for D because D is just an opinion. I like terraria for the most part. If it had controls like kag though and the physics was like Kag it'd be alot more fun. I wouldn't really call terraria a game you can beat, unless you mean, you get the best gear in the game and kill all the bosses in the game. I like the artistic parts of it. Building your own house and what not, but it just feels so weird to play after playing kag.
