This game far exceeded my expectations so far. You can have guns, build towns and have people move in, fight bosses. It's like Dwarf Fortress and Minecraft put together.

I really can't tell you much except that it's a decent 2D game. PM and I can lead you in the right direction if you want to try it out ;o

I don't think a guide exists yet so I really have no clue on how you are supposed to meet requirments for starting a town or finding a gun or getting merchants to show up. The guide NPC helps in game sorta...

Didn't see a thread for it so I figured I would at least make this so we can get to playing. It has multiplayer too but I'm not really sure how that works but hopefully we can figure it out and get a SEN server going.

GIGGLE SQUEE



Here is me being awesome underground

You need XNA Frame work (Not XNA Game studio)

Seriously though...

This feels like it should have been easier to spot...

holy shit, npc's come join you

if you get 50 silver coins a merchant will visit you



I found a crystal heart but i don't have a hammer yet to smash it

The music reminds me of Zelda in a wierd way tense-fairytale-esque.

So here I am. Digging about what feels like 70 tiles down from my home. There were some caverns so I fell through them to get deeper into the earth to get some PHAT LOOT, which I died (arrows and coins). I'm just sniping jellys with my bow and arrow when out of no where I hear this buzzing sound. And it's getting louder and louder and then shit hit the fan. A giant earth worm lounged at me. What the fuck. It can swim through the dirt tiles like it's flying. It has no collision box or anything. It moves to damn fast and it moves into dirt tile before I can even manage to hit it.

I could just keep running down there and keep digging to make more open space so I can fight the worm on even terms or just gtfo and dig somewhere else.

Anyone found a crafting tree?

Er well you can make a furnace from like 20 stone, 5 torches and some other ingredient. Like some wood. you can smelt ores in the furnaces. I think with 10 Iron ore you can make an anvil which is needed to make a hammer. Also you can make glass fro mthe furnace from sand. The glass can be turned into bottles which I HEAR can be used for alchemy. I've seen screenshots of bottles filled with different color liquids but I'm not sure how to interact with bottles. Right clicking them makes them shatter. Maybe they need to be placed some where specific?

Also I hear you can make a depth gauge by smelting like 10 of every ore or something like that. And that you can make pocket watches at a regular table, although I don't know the actual recipe for such thing. I'm having trouble finding ore. It looks like stone ;_;.

Also any uses for clay besides red bricks? ;_;

edit: Fuck year, I figured out how to make a lesser healing potion. you need 1 bottle, 2 blue gels, and one mushroom. Lesser healing potion heals for 100 points. (1 mushroom only heals for 20)

Did you get any NPCs yet? I've seen a merchant and a nurse.

Terraria? more like MapleDwarfCraft

It's fun, but I'm gonna restrain myself from playing till monday's release :3

Quote from Directions for multiplayer

You go to the multiplayer and click Start Game and theirfor you will need a world to select and then thats it,when its done loading the word and sais Waiting for clients or whatever,you'll need to launch another Terraria.exe after that you'll need to port forward,look on youtube for tutorials,the game port is 31337,and make sure its on UDP,once thats set up,download hamachi or use this ip here at ipchicken.com Hope it helped!

Quote from some guy on /v/

do humanity a favor and dont play on the same pc that ure hosting from (unless u got some 2000$ rig), Terraria is a real cpu strain with 8 players!

Err why are some of the icons the same as the ones used in Minecraft? Same producer?

Shurikens are the way to go. Ninja mining action Booya

I was playing in fullscreen because I iz pro like that. And the screenshots of the region I was in didn't come out properly.. I drowned fighting off 8 hornets and 2 'Man-Eaters' which are basically gigantic Venus Fly Traps but man-sized.

They are stealing everything. Even the sound you make when you dig is the same exact sound from when you dig in minecraft. It's hilarious.

edit: Fuck yea. You need hammers to get rid of background walls. Very useful in making my house hotel prettier :3

10 Iron bars > Anvil > Copper hammer = like 10 copper bars and 3 wood. Maybe it's 8 copper bars. w/e
