Everything New in Terraria 1.4.4!

Greetings Terrarians! Terraria's State of the Game for August is up and it brings some great new about the "Labor of Love" update. First, what is it? Well, this came about when a few years ago Terraria won the "Labor of Love" award on Steam. This was a category in one of the "Game of the Year" polls they do. The "Labor of Love" category was for games that have been out for a while, but continue to receive new content. So, it was decided to give an update to version 1.4.4.

I know, right, we thought we saw the last content update for Terraria that gave us Journey mode. But we're always delightfully surprised (except with the cancellation of Terraria: Otherworld). So, ... Read All

Wow. Love that they keep updating this game. I bought it on sale for a few bucks and it’s been updated so much since then. ❤️

Azurephile Super Member Post Author wrote on 08/26/2022 at 08:30pm

Yeah! Cheerful Ghost introduced me to it and I've been in love w/ it! I'm loving the new stuff and can't wait to experience it! 💙

Travis Admin wrote on 08/28/2022 at 02:14pm

Kinda wondering if they’ll come back with a 1.5 later too. It seems like they truly love it as much as we do, and don’t want to leave it.

>Kinda wondering if they’ll come back with a 1.5 later too. It seems like they truly love it as much as we do, and don’t want to leave it.

I doubt it probably just because we thought that they last major update (Journey Mode) would be the last. But, clearly it isn't. Is LoL the last? LOL!? I dunno, maybe no one knows (certainly Redigit know more than anyone). From what I've read or heard it seems like they've pretty much reached the limits of the engine. I think Terraria 2 would be the next step. This is all speculation of course and it's really a good idea to explore. I'm sure there are still lots of suggested/requested content, adding content that fans suggest/request is something they've done very well, though. What do you all think?

I'm looking forward to getting my hands on this update. Speculating again, but I'm going to make a prediction and say that we'll get this update next month or Oct., Nov. at the latest. I'm sure we'll have it before the year ends.

I mean... yeah? I hope so.

I wonder if we'll ever get a Terraria 2 knowing that we basically got one already with the updates? I think they could do a better Starbound (personally).

Behold The Wonder of Terraria 1.4!

ChippyGaming has a fun new Terraria 1.4 gameplay video out showing some of the new game features and they look superb. The biggest standout are the updated graphics and polished UI improvements.

This has been shared in some comment threads but wanted to give it more visibility.

As Thanos said, this does bring a smile to my face.

This is easily the biggest update. Before this, the core game was still the same, but this changes things in such fundamental ways that it feels almost like a sequel.

Like just the NPC hotels we always made... those are now a very bad idea. But the pylons let us visit them wherever they are, and it makes sense to put them where they want to be. And that changes the game in enormous ways on its own.

Azurephile Super Member wrote on 05/19/2020 at 08:25pm

I started to wonder something and only did a little "Googling," but I'm not entirely sure I have my answer. What has my curiosity is why Re-Logic (and other devs) have (or continue to do) given us free content expansions/DLC. I read it could be kind of service to the community or fans. I think maybe new content would help increase sales, though I'm not sure by how much or for how long. I'm just not sure that it makes complete sense to me though. I'm certainly not complaining, but I'm sure devs want paid. Maybe they've made enough from sales to keep working on it. Perhaps each company (devs) has their own reason for this. What do you think? Again, I do think it's really nice and even great that devs continue to work on a game even after it's released and with such content. It certainly makes a game more playable (assuming the content is good).

Travis Admin wrote on 05/19/2020 at 08:42pm

They reached their highest concurrent player count on the release day of 1.4, so yeah I think the updates throughout the years have definitely helped their sales. I'm sure they would have made a fraction of their millions without the updates.

Travis Admin wrote on 05/25/2020 at 05:47pm

Jon, you wondered what other seeds might be available, there are two more. I think one is of particular interest to you ;)

Mostly awesome! I mean, they're right about the basic spawn "town" build. This system seems to fit. I remember at the start trying to meet the right criteria for getting NPCs to move in, but this just fills that in a bit more. Now, it's not just getting about them to move in and stay, but makes it a bit more interesting by edging us to create more bases in different places. This adds to the beauty and livelihood of Terraria worlds and makes them less static. I think this could get some people to build some really cool places! I think this is pretty cool, although I'm not much of a builder, I build the basic boxes, but this could get me to add those boxes to other places. It's also cool to be able to teleport to places, granted you could set up teleport points using TEdit. This update is packed, I'm really looking forward to playing it again, although sad that this is supposed to be "the last" update. I wonder what's in the future for the game and devs, hopefully Terraria 2.

Terraria Is Available On Switch!

Terraria, the game that we can’t get enough of on Cheerful Ghost, has achieved one more step toward their goal of being available on every system. This time, it’s the Nintendo Switch!

This isn’t the Journey’s End update, and in fact isn’t even up to date with the PC version, it’s the same as the other console versions which are still a couple updates behind, pending some work porting the new changes over.

If you haven’t picked this up, this might be a good time for it. One thing to note is that the price, $29.99, is a little steep compared to the PC version which is $9.99 normally, but is currently on sale for $4.99.

Terraria: Journey's End Update Will Release This Year

If you've been on this site much, you know we love Terraria, and that we've been waiting for the next update for quite some time. Well, we only have a little longer to wait, as Terraria will receive the Journey's End update this year. It will naturally be free, as all updates have been.

The name "Journey's End" certainly sounds final, and that's what Re Logic has in mind. This will be the last major update to the game, with only bug fixes, balancing, small things like that. What had been teased as 1.3.6 has become 1.4 because of the massive changes they've added.

Shortly after this was shown at E3, the official forums got the news in full, with all the changes coming, including:

Terraria: Journey’s End includes a full re-visit to all elements of Terraria. Over time, some things may have felt left behind or made obsolete by newer content. No more! Old things made new and new elements added to flesh out the overall experience – think you know all there is to know about Terraria? Think again!

Terraria: Journey’s End will include over 800 new items for players to find or craft!

Terraria: Journey’s End adds new foes to defeat and challenges to overcome as you seek fortune and glory.

Terraria: Journey’s End will see a full revamp of world generation – including overall improvements and a handful of new mini-biomes to explore.

Quality of Life improvements abound in Terraria: Journey’s End! From Block Swap to the Void Vault, these will ensure that the player spends more time doing what they enjoy most – and having more fun at the same time.

Terraria: Journey’s End will see the addition of an in-game Bestiary. As players defeat higher numbers of any given foe, they will learn more about them – from key statistics to even what each foe can drop as loot!

Terraria: Journey’s End will bring the hallowed game of Golf to Terraria. Golf? That’s right, Golf. Trust us, it is insanely fun – so get your golf skills up to par now!

Terraria: Journey’s End will add an all new difficulty mode. Beyond the existing Expert Mode, this is intended to be a true challenge for the most experienced and skilled Terrarians – a true gauntlet for the best of the best. Will your gaming skills and creativity be up to the task?

Terraria: Journey's End adds in all new and enhanced weather effects.

I cannot wait to get my hands on this. While I'm sad that this will be the last major update, at the same time it's cool to have this capstone to kinda tie things up. Even if we never get a Terraria 2, this has been a hell of a ride.

I'm absolutely sure that shortly after this drops, we'll have a new Cheerful Ghost server to play on, so stay tuned for that!

Trailer breakdown w/ Chippy Gaming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StRvxSf_sMw Watch this one if you're interested in him pointing out some new things you might not have noticed. Don't watch if you don't want any spoilers at all and want to discover everything new by yourself when it arrives. I don't believe every new thing was revealed even in the trailer. *Also don't continue reading as my comments "may" contain spoilers!*

"The last update?" w/ Chippy Gaming https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfe6amm4zTI Just some thoughts, commentary, and such.

I'm not sure how I feel about some things. They didn't mention the Razor Chroma support that my favorite spoiler contained (which is one of the main reasons I bought this awesome keyboard). Golf? I don't know, maybe after trying it out, I'll like it. Kites? I'm not sure what the point is. New stuff? Heck yeah bring it on! Master Mode? Well I think Expert Mode is hard enough, especially solo, so I'm not sure if I'll ever make it there. Maybe we'll do it on a Cheerful Ghost server. I like the void vault. Travis can tell you from experience, I usually keep a full inventory and often have to warp back home to drop some off, this should be really helpful. New music? Sounds good. Weather? That looks cool, too! I think it makes the game more "alive" or realistic. Otherwise, I'm not sure. Ducks and new summons I'm all for, too. I did read on the announcement page that it should arrive (or "drop" as you guys like to say) "prior to the end of the year." We'll see how that goes. I wouldn't be surprised if it gets delayed, although right now I'm ok with waiting (however I might grow impatient as time moves on and I run out of games I want to play lol).

It's been spoiled for over a year now, it seemed like it was never coming. However, it makes sense now knowing it's the fourth and (apparently or seemingly likely) last update for the game (aside from some minor updates like bug fixes. If it is the final one, I hope they move on to Terraria 2, I'm interested in seeing more Terraria in the future.

What do you guys think about this update? What do you think may lie in store for Terraria's future or is this the end of official (unmodded) Terraria content?

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 06/12/2019 at 01:27pm

Well, they have said as much. This is the end of their big updates, anything that comes after would be wrapping things up. That said, we heard the same thing about 1.1 back in the day and we definitely got more. Those were incredibly different circumstances, however.

Azurephile Super Member wrote on 11/23/2019 at 10:00pm

I think I've come to the realization that game release delays are actually good for the game overall. I guess I've gotten more patient with game releases. It's still nice that Re-Logic explained why it's getting delayed. It just makes sense, a delay gives developers more time to perfect the game, perhaps reducing bugs or issues and even adding extra content. So, overall, it's good for the game. I also think my disappointment in some games that I was eagerly awaiting too impatiently kind of gave me a bit of perspective. I don't want to get over hyped for something that might disappoint. Although, I'm sure Terraria's update won't disappoint, but I think it's still good to be patient. In the mean time, I can focus on other games while I wait.

> In the mean time, I can focus on other games while I wait.

Agreed. I think we're in a better place in regard to video game options right now. Frankly there are too many games to play and a game shifting a few months on the delivery date isn't as big of a deal as it was. I think most gamers are coming to think about things in similarly in regard to dates but there is a vocal minority that doesn't take date change very well.

The 1.2 update changed Terraria forever and cemented it in my heart as one of the best games of all time. Not only did it come with a ton of new NPC's, the Crimson and more but it also came with ... the Bee update.

There's apparently a lot going into it such as new backgrounds, music, a new NPC, and new furniture sets. It's been in development for over a year now, I wonder when it will finally release.

What Games Will You Keep Playing Forever?

As I race around the Internets I see interesting stuff and today I read a headline on Kotaku that I wanted to ask you all here. The article was just a question to the community about what games they'd be playing forever. I was thinking about those games for me and also was wondering what those games are for you? I have a bit of a non-subtle hint with this post. Yeah... i'm pretty sure i'll be playing Terraria off and on forever. I also think i'm going to keep playing retro games like Mario 2, 3, World, Link to the Past, Tetris, etc. But it's not all retro games as some newer games that I plan on revisiting are the Borderlands series, Hearthstone(as long as they keep...

Terraria tops my list. Also most Mario games, the Fallouts, the Elder Scrollseseses, Actraiser, 90's id games. Hmm... probably Borderlands 2 but I can't say for sure yet.

Honestly, probably Minecraft, depending on how you stretch the definition. I barely even play it but I come back to it semi-often. I never do much with it but I come back to it.

When I first popped in I accidentally stopped the page loading before the header image loaded and my first thought was Terraria, like without even a second of hesitation, and without any prompting. I can't exactly say it's my favorite game but in terms of play-it-foreverness it easily and handily tops all others.

Yeah, I think I understand that. Games are entertainment and there is so much out there to entertain. We're in the new golden age of TV where I'm not sure one person could watch all the good stuff. Drops movies in the mix and it's game over for time. For me games have to hit that sweet spot of just interesting enough but also be accessible. For many phone games hit that but not much else does because the barrier to entry is too high. I think Steam gets this which is why they want to put Steam everywhere but they have a bit of movement to go because the Switch could just come in and do that too. I guess that was a lot of blah, blah to say I hear that strongly. If your life changes to be busy, huge epic 2,000 hour games don't fit well into that. Tether that to a desk and it's less compelling.

That's why I've limited my purchase of new games this year. So much awesome stuff in my library.

For me games are very important, they're my primary source for entertainment. However, I do often get stuck on "what to play next" mode, which sucks. There's not much that I know of that I strongly want to play (except for the new Ark DLC, coming in November). I stopped my Amazon Prime membership and Netflix, so games are pretty much vital to my entertainment. Perhaps I should jump back on Netflix. But yeah, it really sucks being bored and not knowing what game to play next, as a serious gamer.

Whenever I see you playing something on Steam it's FTL. I believe you're probably far better at it than I am. I feel like I suck at it, so I don't play it much, which is probably also why I suck at it.

I don't think many people would say "No, I don't suck at FTL" :D

Lol, seriously, I still stuck at FTL :)
