Quick question: I have two worlds, one before the 1.1 patch, one after. The first one has lots of chests in which I find nice treasure The second one has no chests whatsoever (although I can build my own chest to put things in) I assume this is normal - did the 1.1 patch remove chests for some reason?

Optilux posted:Quick question: Nope, not normal. My 1.1 world has plenty of chests. How are you determining that it doesn't have chests? By virtue of the fact that you're not finding them (which is admittedly strange, as it's pretty easy to stumble across chests in caves near the surface)? Or are you using a mapping program (which could be out-of-date and not working properly)?

I'm not finding them. As you say they are quite common normally. I've dug down past the lava layer to what looks like Hell so am surprised not to have seen anything. Lots of pots though!

misterdoo01 posted:Gaslamp Games taking over Terraria? I keep throwing money at my monitor but nothing is happening. Seriously, that would be incredible if Redigit handed it over to you guys. Yeah, if Gaslamp were to take over and create some sort of expansion DLC, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Terraria and DoD happen to be the two games I have logged the most playtime into.

Yeah, I put about 80 hours into the original Dungeons of Dredmor, and a good 200 something hours of playtime into Terraria, at least. Terraria with hopefully the humor of DoD would be incredible.

What would really be nice is some modding tools/support/whatever. If red is going to (understandably) quit support for the game then opening it up to the community to do branch it off and increase the lifespan that way would be a good idea if you ask me. I suppose Red's situation also kinda explains why the dev to community relations for this game have basically been nonexistent, maybe? \/  \/

I don't mean to break up the discussion once again, but I really think we need a Starbound thread. Especially with new information coming out. Devs said every Friday they're doing a more in-depth info dump, and on the days in between they might trickle out a few tidbits further. Today's update was the announcement that every single monster and NPC in the game is randomly generated visually as well as in terms of their stats and attacks/abilities.    Not just color randomization, but whole parts mixed and matched to provide variegation. Different species, different abilities, and maybe even different "rewards". Keep in mind that you can capture and tame every creature in the game. I foresee many hours spent combing the universe looking for the coolest possible pets.

Some people attached to the developers seem(!?) to lurk here; they would probably be best to start a new thread. I don't know a ton of information about the game so if I started one it would probably be mostly enthusiasm and grammatical errors.

A man makes a great game, sells it for dirt cheap, I get literally the best $/hr enjoyment out of the game as I have in any in the last 5 years or so, and the guy says "after giving out massive free updates and continual support for 9 months, I'm taking time off to help my wife bring a newborn baby into the world." I have nothing but respect for Redigit for Terraria and for his decision to take some time off and focus on his family.

Terraria was my GOTY for 2011, loved it and clocked in at least 200 hours of incredibly fun gameplay. Although I'll be sad to see development of it (temporarily?) shelved, that Starbound game looks to be the next generation of the type of game that Terraria has been for me: That is, procedurally generated awesome in a retro-style package. Making almost everything randomly generated is a step in the direction I'd like to see game-making in general. Not necessarily lazy, but a way of adding a ton of content without spending months to years of development time and money just to see a trickle of content. With this method, developers can instead focus on making the game feature-rich and provide players with that constant feeling of "ooh, shiny!" which is what I consider the 'magic moment' of gaming for me. That part where things are coming together and you say to yourself, "this is great, I'm loving it! I wonder what happens if I go a little further..." and then you encounter something new: a new area, a new monster, a treasure chest, a cave, it doesn't matter what it is but you find something new and interesting and it makes you excited. That is the part of gaming that is the most fun for me, and this game looks like it will be that moment over and over again. So yea, make a thread because that game already looks amazing and I wish I could have it right now.

Gandor posted:Making almost everything randomly generated is a step in the direction I'd like to see game-making in general. Imagine if a big game like say Skyrim had procedural generators that used some morph sliders and various add-ons to make generated armor and weapons, so there'd always be something new to find. When Spore came out, I was hoping it would serve as a sort of tech demo, seeding the idea of generative/imported content on a massive scale to games that had solid gameplay to back them up, but that whole thing sort of fell through when it didn't see the success people expected. It's a long tangent I'd get off on, so I'll just say that Starbound's handling of procedural generation is a drat big step in the right direction and there are very few open genres that couldn't benefit from it.

I'm surprised he's completely calling off development when terraria hasn't fallen outside of the steam's top 20 selling games since it's release. That's gotta be at least a couple hundred copies sold a day, right?

Haha I smiled in glee when I heard that Redigit had posted on the Terraria forums that he was quitting development of the game. This is why-quote:So thats it then, Terraria is dead. and all because of a BABY!! are you serious. a child is a life thing and how can you "get to know" a baby when they havn't even developed. here is a hint. babies cry, poo poo, piss vomit and sleep. yes it is a good thing to have a child but you have decades to be with your son. so use your time now to finish this child of yours. quote:Because fact of the matter is that he's a selfish, greedy excuse for a human being who only cares about money, and given that I generally don't have a high opinion on humanity, that's saying something. quote:Are you really going to let him use his kid as an excuse to abandon his commitment to us? How sad. ad infinitum. Looking forward to this Star-whatsit-majiggy. There's only so many level 20 Archers I can lose on Realm Of The Mad God before I need another 2D game to break up the repetetiveness.

Only on the internet can people spin the idea of taking time off work to raise a child 'selfish' and 'greedy'. Terraria is a great game, but holy poo poo does it have one of the worst communities I've ever seen in gaming. It's like they managed to skim all the worst crazies off the top of the Minecraft fanbase, and mix in a generation of easily-led dumb kids who fall in excitable lock-step with all the rambling lunatics. Hats off to Redigit for seeing that there's more to life than work and money.

To help bring this back on track, I've finished a little project on PuLSe's Crater: http://i.imgur.com/8NXcR.png http://i.imgur.com/PM8JI.png The dragon breathing fire is mine, the red bat and the blue dragon to the right were created by other builders at the Crater.  There are some minor tweaks to be made, but it's mostly finished. The large amount of ore used in it makes it great when viewed in game with a spelunker potion.

It was mostly inventory editing I'm afraid. Outside committments consume most of my time, and it would have taken a couple of months longer without inventory editing. The next project shall begin within the next few days.

They all started to complain that Redigit not replying was because of immaturity, greed and NOT CARING ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT GOT HIM HERE  . Maybe if you stopped threatening his child and being raging sociopathic fucktards towards him and his family then he would respect you enough to discuss things.Hope he doesn't return to those godforsaken forums.

I had lots of fun playing terraria, and I can't wait to see what else he comes up with in the future. Congrats on the kid and enjoy the time! Is that really so hard? Why don't they moderate their forums? Does anyone really care if the entitled 14 year old is offended by his ban and vows never to play terraria again?

Redigit added a part 2 to his post.quote:I posted this on the other thread, but I wanted repost it here to make sure everyone can see it. Looks like he's refusing Gaslamp Games's offer to be hired on to continue producing content for the game because... he can't be bothered to hire a lawyer to sort out the paperwork and thinks that Gaslamp Games or anyone else hired to produce content will screw him over somehow? I guess that's it for Terraria and we can look forward to Starbound. Speaking of which, something caught my eye: quote:After losing my spriter to a potentially competing game Looks like Tiy's quite a popular guy if people are getting outbid for his services. I can only hope he roams the internet from indie group to indie group, making beautiful game art wherever he goes.

No, he's refusing it because he doesn't loving want to do it. It's his goddamn prerogative. When people talk about how PC Gamers are the biggest group of entitled whiny shitheels, it's because of the people who complain about a guy stopping free updates after 9 months on a $10 game that everyone has put 50 hours into so he can focus on raising his newborn son and then start work on a new project. If there is any single loving person on the earth who spent $5-10 on Terraria and felt burned by the product as it current stands, there is no amount of post-release content that could possibly change that. He doesn't loving owe anyone anything beyond the product he's sold them, and he's provided a tremendous amount of post-release content for free.
