I like the fifth one. It kind of suffers for being shown after two "skull and death robes" sets, so the goat-like helmet first makes it look derivative, but it's actually pretty distinct. Like some sort of sci-fi egyptian god aesthetic.

Just from the preview it looks like the standard item frame dupe. Which has been know for a while and used in speed runs.

I just learned this today, I don't look at much Terraria videos anymore except for the occasional fancy/grotesque-fancy structure build or bossfight arena build or "how to find/get all this random items you need to make the PDA". Never watched a speedrun.

I know that the next big patch is going to be the last content one, and there will of course be a few bugfix patches on its heels. That said, I have two questions:

1) Are they planning to update any and/or all of the console (read: non-PC) versions to match the PC original?

B) Have they stated what they have planned for their next project, if any?

A. Yes, at least the current gen consoles. (Switch, Xbone, PS4.) Probably mobile, too.
2. They've talked about Terraria 2 several times.3.

Thank you. I I cannot really imagine Terraria 2 given the incredible depth and scope of the original and the fact that T1 seems like an impossible act to follow, but if the Switch version ever becomes a "complete" version then I might take a punt on it.

It kind of is a hard act to follow and what they've said about terraria 2 so far doesn't sound like it's going to be revolutionary. Character progression and how you get loot will be different. Infinite biomes is kinda meh, you can already get enough out of large maps or making multiple maps. I don't think anyone's going to care about game lore, especially with the terraria team so used to adding literally whatever they want that looks cool.

I don't really know what I would want out of 2 that I don't get out of the first. More mod friendly at least? Like, maybe a mode where you can make a platformer/metroidvania by disabling building and focus on combat or puzzle solving.

Mostly I want more mod-friendly and it handling a lot of biomes in a small/medium world better. It's bad enough vanilla, bu when you start adding stuff with mods it can get very messy.

Oh, the ability to have alternate planes like minecraft's Nether would also be nice.

But more interesting than the Nether.

EDIT: Hell, even just a boring rear end plane full of fire would be fine if it's implemented in a mod-friendly way so modders can easily add their own alternate planes.

Infinity Gaia

a storm is coming...

Amusingly modders have managed to get alternate planes working. It only works in single player but it does work. So technically the Terraria engine is ALREADY capable of handling at least a couple of extra worlds.

If Terraria 2 was literally Terraria except with background upgrades like integrated mod support it would probably be good enough for most people.

With, of course. Terraria needs elevators. And pulleys. Let me construct minecart elevators that let me travel from the overworld into hell and back. Let me power them with geothermal energy aka a bucket of lava.

We may have finally found unobtainium but I will never find eywa.

Really the biggest thing that would get me excited about a Terraria 2 would be Terraria 1 but with more robust world gen, a load of new world and biome types, and an in game way for world to world traversal.
Exiting to the menu to go from my corruption world to my crimson world works fine but tell me that having like, a Fire Portal and being able to acquire or craft different Lava Gate Keys, each with different world generation/seed properties wouldn't light your brain up.

You could also have very strange worlds, since the basics of what you need would presumably be on your base world, and alternate ones could just be entirely obsidian for all terrain or trees drop crystals instead of wood, or whatever.

I’d like inter dimensional travel via some sort of gate (building or device or I don’t care what) that eats a material item. The gate takes you to a world that is your world’s seed + the material’s ID. Then it’s reproducible, but random worlds are accessible from each initial world generated by the game, and gathering materials from a second world could unlock others, and so on.

Or maybe incorporate the seed of the world you’re actually in into the gate destination so the only way to get to world C is from B which you got to from A, requiring a chained access path every time.

Along those lines, have corruption and crimson (and hallowed, why not) dimensions that are just your world but all that version of the biomes (desert vs corrupt desert vs hallowed desert, etc). You travel into those versions to fight certain bosses, and things you do in one dimension impact the world in all the other ones. Some puzzles can only be solved in one version, like breaking down a certain wall in maybe the crimson to access the dungeon in the other worlds. After a point equivalent to the WOF those dimensions start leaking into your main world and you have to repair or maybe just mitigate it.

Back when I was planning to make a mini Terraria knockoff, one of my planned gimmicks was a "mirror biome" -- a biome that you cannot actually enter (it's solid and impenetrable), but that you see your reflection in. Most of the world is reflected too, however some things are not quite right -- and if you spot them, you've found hidden treasure in the same spot in the non-mirror-world counterpart.

Or better yet, make it a continuing puzzle to access the treasure -- you might even have to affect the mirror world version of objects from the outside (via hook launched inside, pulling the treasure inside to a more convenient location -- or flooding the room from outside, etc) without actually being able to go in. Could make for some nice puzzles, though the idea doesn't go that far on its own. It'd be hard to randomize them without them being really broken, and if they're not random enough then the few pre-made ones would run their course pretty quickly.

e: I also really love the suggestion above to have overlapping dimensions. And to make sure that what structures overlap where has meaning (unlike in Minecraft, besides the Nether portals themselves) --- and have some of the progression locked behind puzzles that take place in multiple dimensions.

They could use the original seed, then run it through the world builder a bit more to make progressively more and more alien worlds.

More seriously z axis rooms would be great for terraria, it would help with a lot of things, and alternate dimensions also sounds great. Not to mention terraria 2 right from the start could probably do even larger worlds on its own instead of needing a 64 bit mod loader, a mod, and some custom world gen.
