Happy New Year, Terrarians!

Hot off the heels of our previous coffee collabs with Madrinas, we’re thrilled to reveal the latest addition to the lineup—the Blueberry Lemonade King Slime Boba Fruit Tea!



We know we have long warned Terrarians of the dangers of ingesting gel from slimes, but maybe the time has come to give it a try. Inspired by King Slime, this sweet and zesty blend of blueberry and lemonade will have you feeling like a Boss with every energizing sip.

For a limited time, you can summon this thirst quencher with the exclusive Terraria Bundle and snag the all-new Shaker Cup!

TERRARIA x MADRINAS - KING SLIME BLUEBERRY LEMONADE FRUIT TEA

Greetings Terrarians!

A Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to each and every one of you from Team Terraria! We hope that everyone has found ample time to spend with family and friends during this time. That has been the focus of our team over the past couple of weeks - a good chance to rest and recharge for the push into what is to come in 2025. That said, we did take a few days away from the holiday celebrations for a quick playthrough on the new Skyblock seed. As with all of our playthroughs, shenanigans quickly followed: dev duels, Chippy vs Red for the CEO crown, even what has come to be known as "debug command battles" commenced over the course of the adventure. These are always not only a lot of fun, but also beyond useful in assisting with bug fixing and balance. We can't wait to see what you make of this seed when the update drops!

Let's see what is under the Terraria tree this year, shall we?






As we mentioned in the introduction to this month's State of the Game, most of the team has been on Holiday break, spending time with family, getting some home projects done, things like that. Of course, then there is the madness that has been the Skyblock playthrough. Our goal with the Skyblock seed is to take a game format that is somewhat notorious for being grindy and for experts only and to make it at least a bit more approachable/accessible to a broader audience of players. As such, a lot of our time on this session was focused around balance (and bugs, of course). Skyblock is sort of its own set of rules and such, so a lot of care has to be taken to make sure it feels right.

That said, we had our usual share of trolling and craziness. The CEO crown changed hands more times than we can count via a variety of 1:1 duels between devs, testers, and more. We had more fun and insightful chats than we could recall in a long time - both trips down memory lane and gazing into the future. That said, we thought we might share a screen or two from our playthrough world just for your viewing pleasure.

Gathering individual ideas and feedback for a planning session in January...






Hello everyone!

The tModLoader team has had a bit of a slower month, as we take time to take a breath and relax to close out the year. We will be back at it in 2025, ready to take TML to the next level!

We'd like to remind modders about the preview branch where we test new features before they arrive in stable the following month. Modders interested in these new features, listed both on our GitHub and in the #preview-update-log of our Discord, can join the preview branch to get early access to the new features and test them in their mods. We really appreciate the feedback from modders using the preview branch to try out the new features.

Major features currently in preview (starting December 1st) include greatly improved enemy banner support and support for custom data sets. Please give them a test and let us know if you run into any issues.

Modders and users should also keep an eye out for our monthly Steam announcement on the 1st where a complete listing of bug fixes and API changes for this month's release will be listed. The in-game news button on the main menu will direct you directly to the announcement once it is live.

As always, if you are having issues of any sort, definitely don't hesitate to check out our FAQ on github or reach out to us at our Discord.




The TML Steam Workshop has over 6000 mods for you to enjoy! Coupled with the in-game mod browser, the TML Steam Workshop is a great way to explore what modded Terraria has to offer - check it out today by clicking the banner above!




More features, continuing to evolve and grow what TML can do... and getting ready for 1.4.5.

As always, you can keep track the current progress and much more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.)

Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)




The DR Studio teams have also been winding down for the Holidays - though our resident QA tester extraordinaire, Nescre, got a chance to join in on the Skyblock testing festivities. The only difference being that he was playing from both PC and Mobile..





We cannot wait to leap headlong into what 2025 has in store - it is shaping up to be a truly special year in the world of Terraria!

Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

TERRARIA x STARFORGE PC CASE





Hello Terrarians!

Chris here, lead developer at Paper Fort Games. In this month’s Terraria: The Board Game designer diary, we’ve got a PAXU recap, new enemy and Crimson art, and a Christmas promo pack showcase.
If you missed the campaign but would like to get your hands on the game, don’t worry! Late pledges are now available by clicking the link below...

TERRARIA: THE BOARD GAME CAMPAIGN LATE PLEDGES

---

Let’s jump in!

PAX UNPLUGGED RECAP
From 6th to 8th December, we were demoing Terraria: The Board Game at PAX Unplugged in Philadelphia, PA. Thank you to everyone who visited the booth to play the game, check out the playmat and pick up a Town Slime balloon (as always, it was fun to see them bobbing about in the convention hall!)

It was lovely to meet backers in person, and to share the game with Terraria fans who weren't aware of the tabletop adaptation. We were very conveniently positioned just across from Contention Games, who recently published the Slay the Spire board game; lots of videogame fans visiting their booth also came to say hello to us!



Above; the booth set up and ready for the show. We managed to fit most of it in our hand and checked baggage, but had to sacrifice some clothes; thankfully Philly wasn't too cold!

When you’re busy at the booth all day, it’s easy to forget to take photos! A huge thank you to Lana (@navigatorlana on IG) who took the fantastic in-play shots of the demo and components below and gave us permission to share them.



Highlights of the convention included chatting with backers, a group of attendees who played the game on Friday and were kind enough to come back on Sunday to tell us that Terraria was their favourite demo of the convention, and playing the demo with a group of real-life Mermaids!

Did you play? Let us know in the comments!

---​

ENEMIES AHEAD!
George recently finished up the art for all of the non-boss enemies in the game, which are featured on the game’s enemy tokens. As always, he’s done a fantastic job and we love his interpretation of the game’s sprites; here are some of our favourites!



From top left to bottom right: Tomb Crawler, Hell Bat, Vulture, Skeleton, Eater of Souls, Frozen Zombie, Crimera, Devourer, Antlion Swarmer, Fire Imp, Ice Bat.

---​

COMPONENT SPOTLIGHT: CHRISTMAS PROMO PACK
As this is our December Update, it seems appropriate to show you some more of the Christmas Promo Pack, unlocked as a stretch goal during the Kickstarter campaign and included with all pledges.



Ugly Sweater: ‘Ugly’ is subjective, right? We think this knitted number is rather fetching, and it will look lovely overlaying your character card. It doesn’t do anything, but it does look cosy!
Candy Cane Sword: This sweet sword deals decent damage, as well as preventing enemy retaliation. Great for defeating mobs, or for cutting yourself a nice slice of Christmas cake… delicious!
Gingerbread Cookie: Not the gumdrop buttons! Discarding this tasty consumable will grant +1 mana, +1 defence, +1 action point and +1 damage; the perfect festive pick-me-up!​

These Christmas items will be available in your games via the Present, an optional card that you can add to the base game chest cards.

---​

MANUFACTURER UPDATE: INTRODUCING GAMELAND


We’re very happy to announce that we’ll be working with Gameland as our manufacturer for Terraria: The Board Game. Gameland have 16 years of experience in tabletop game manufacturing, and are well known for the quality of their products, including Too Many Bones and Cloudspire from Chip Theory Games and Mind MGMT from Off The Page Games.

They have been wonderfully communicative and very helpful in the prototyping of unusual components (such as our modular boss miniatures); the Gameland team are currently working on a wide variety of component samples for us and we’re looking forward to sharing them in a future update!

As well as component testing, we’re working closely with the Gameland team on pre-packaging options to ensure that games get to backers in pristine condition

---​

CRIMSON BIOME DISCOVERED!
At the start of Terraria: The Board Game, as in the videogame, you’ll choose an evil biome; Corruption or Crimson (or randomly select one). So far, we’ve shared the art for Corruption, but George has recently been working on the Crimson biome tiles too; you can find a selection of the WIP art below!



We’ve added new critters too; which ones can you find on this selection of tiles?

---

Thank you to Re-Logic and the Terraria community for the support and enthusiasm in 2024; we couldn’t do it without you and we’re excited to share more about Terraria: The Board Game in 2025! Happy Holidays to those who celebrate; we hope you get to spend time with your families and loved ones over the festive season.

Remember; if you missed the campaign but would still like to get your hands on the game, late pledges are now available via the link below:

Until next time, Terrarians - we hope you have an amazing month, and we look forward to bringing you the latest and greatest next time!

Greetings Terrarians!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! The Terraria team is certainly thankful for each and every one of you and your support for us over the years. We hope that as we enter the holiday season, you will have some time to rest, relax, and reconnect with family and friends. We are looking to get things all wrapped up for 2024 ourselves - it has certainly been a productive and unpredictable year. This month's State of the Game is a good one - with spoilers, updates on the future, some new product releases and more. You will definitely want to dive in and check it out.

With that said, let's get to it shall we?






The work on the final lists from each dev team member is nearing its conclusion, which is a great measure of progress. That said, we are pretty certain that there is no way that we will see Terraria 1.4.5 release this year. To make a long story short, end-of-year releases (especially if you are trying to sync launch across PC-Mobile-Console AND do so globally at the same time) are fraught with peril due to review cycles, people leaving early for the holidays, etc. The hope was that we would be able to get things in ahead of that end of year mess, but that isn't looking to be the case. We are also not going to force anyone on our team or anyone else's team to crunch for what would be an arbitrary deadline. So, that said, the next Terraria update is moving along into 2025.

We are sure that will not be welcome news for many - but we remain committed to being a quality-first studio, so we will take the time necessary for each update to feel "just right"... and we think that once the update is out, everyone will appreciate that time and care. Apologies for this one taking so long for sure, but it will be well worth it.

That bit of news out of the way, let's check in on one of our resident arborists as he is doing a bit of "reforestation"...

Having to place acorns by hand is SO 2011...

Oh yeah, and before we forget, we will just leave this here for viewing pleasure and wanton speculation...

Hello everyone!

The tModLoader team and our amazing community of contributors continues to improve tModLoader. On December 1st the monthly update release of tModLoader will go live.

This month's release contains support for modded clouds, tiles swaying in the wind, opening up a ModConfig menu directly, and many more changes. We look forward to mod updates using these new features. We've also updated the mod publishing process to ensure that every mod has a custom icon and an adequate description, which should make browsing the workshop a more pleasant experience.

We'd like to remind modders about the preview branch where we test new features before they arrive in stable the following month. Modders interested in these new features, listed both on our GitHub and in the #preview-update-log of our Discord, can join the preview branch to get early access to the new features and test them in their mods.

Console and Mobile continue their steady progress towards the next Terraria update! As with the Re-Logic team, we are certainly staring down the holidays and the end of the year - how is it the end of November already?!?! We are doing all that we can to ensure a smooth synchronized launch down the line once the update is full and complete. That said, we have a fun new spoiler to share this month...

We can make the trees taller... faster... better....

​Hello everyone!

Over at 50 Amp Productions, we have been hard at work on some exciting developments.

First off, we have decided to streamline how the graphic novel will be sold. We have a limited number of Terraria Volume 1 graphic novels in stock and are shipping them out to customers this December - in time to arrive as a Holiday gift. With our new delivery model, we have eliminated the wait times we previously saw, but this means that if you want a copy of the first printing, you should order yours right away as stock is limited.

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who ordered Volume 1 of the graphic novel through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Walmart, and other retailers. Unfortunately, those orders are being canceled as we transition to a new distributor due to some unforeseen issues with our prior distributor.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. However, if you’d still like to secure a copy in time for the holidays, you can order directly from our website via the link below:

TERRARIA: GRAPHIC NOVEL VOLUME ONE - ORDER HERE

Orders placed on our website will begin shipping the second week of December.

Hello Terrarians!

Chris here, lead developer at Paper Fort Games. In this month’s Terraria: The Board Game designer diary, we’ve got a character pieces showcase, more fantastic equipment art from George, the latest King Slime miniature prototype and details of our stand at PAX Unplugged at the start of December.

If you missed the campaign but would like to get your hands on the game, don’t worry! Late pledges are now available by clicking the link below...

TERRARIA: THE BOARD GAME CAMPAIGN LATE PLEDGES

---

Let’s jump in!

CHARACTER PIECE SHOWCASE
One of the biggest artistic challenges in Terraria: The Board Game has been the design of its character pieces (sometimes called ‘meeples’). Wooden player pieces can be found in hundreds of games, but we wanted ours to be unique and faithful to the feel of Terraria.

We’ve been through many stages of experimentation and iteration with these pieces; unlocking the screen-printing of these components via stretch goals provided more design options, but also made locking in the style of the pieces more challenging. After lots of discussion with the Re-Logic team, liaison with manufacturers about printing methods and many sketches by George, the character pieces have been redesigned to be more dynamic and playful while also addressing the limitations of printing onto a piece of wood smaller than a penny!



During the campaign, we planned to include 4 character pieces in the base game; we’ve decided to increase this to 8 as a thank you for your support! So, Gold pledge backers will receive 8 basic character pieces (shown above) in their game; backers at the Hellstone pledge level will be receiving an additional 32 ‘advanced’ character pieces as part of the character piece pack, including the Yoyo, Big Sword, Summoner, Wizard, and more! Here's a selection of the pieces included in that Hellstone pack:



We're still finalising the designs, so colours (including which character is printed onto which colour of wood) and small details may change, but we wanted to show you how far we've come from the pieces in our campaign video!



---​

UPDATED KING SLIME MINIATURE
We recently received the latest sample of the King Slime modular miniature; this is a 3D printed prototype, but it does give us a feel for what the transparent plastic might look like in the final casting.



---

EVEN MORE EQUIPMENT!
George has now finished all of the art for equipment in the game; we are *so* happy with what he’s come up with! It’s a huge challenge to reinterpret sprites and we think he’s done a wonderful job; here are a few of our favourites from the latest batch!


From left to right: Ruby Hook, Demon Scythe, Imp Staff, The Bee’s Knees, Cascade, Blowpipe and Enchanted Boomerang!

---

GAME DEVELOPMENT

• Here are some of the game’s features we’ve been focusing on this month:
  
• A change to the game’s starting decks to incorporate an attack-boosting card; ‘Charge’
  
• Further Boss balancing, including simplification of Boss behaviours
  
• Multiple small equipment effect alterations
  
• Consistency updates to terminology across cards
  
• Rulebook update/ overhaul (in progress)

We’ve also reviewed a ‘white sample’ of the game’s components; this is a ‘blank’ copy of the game’s components that allows us to check sizes, quality and quantity of all of the game’s components. We’ll share more about this in next month’s update!

---

PLAY TERRARIA: THE BOARD GAME AT PAX UNPLUGGED!
From 6th to 8th December, we’ll be at PAX Unplugged in Philadelphia. Visit us at booth 4334 to play the game, check out the playmat and pick up a Town Slime balloon! We can’t wait to see you there!



I’ll be back next month with another designer diary; we'll have Crimson biome art, new enemies, and a spotlight on the Christmas Promo Pack.

Until next time, Terrarians - we hope you have an amazing month, and we look forward to bringing you the latest and greatest next time!

Greetings Terrarians!

October is quite possibly our favorite month here on the Terraria team. We are big fans of the turn towards the Fall alongside all of the spooky happenings that come along with Halloween. Speaking of which, if you have any amazing Terraria-themed pumpkins, costumes, or anything similar that you put together for Halloween this year, we would love to see them - and maybe feature them in the community section next month! On the development side, the team is pushing hard towards the end of the year, checking off items on the team's collective list at a blistering pace. More on that later, but for now, let's see what treats the Terraria team has waiting for our amazing community this year!

All that said, let's see what's going on in the world of Terraria...






The team has been making some amazing progress on the "lists" we mentioned in September's State of the Game. There is still quite a bit to get done (and test and fix, etc), but we remain committed to never cutting any corners. Ultimately, updates will take the time they need to be done right - that mantra of "it's ready when it's ready" has served us, the game, and the community right for 13 years and counting after all! As for what that means for timing and whatnot, we cannot really say just yet. That said, we will be sure to keep everyone informed here in the SOTG as well as elsewhere when the time is right. Thank you for your patience and your support!


Life Fruit has always been a valuable commodity in Terraria - but really loses its usefulness once the player has reached full health. The scientists in the Terraria food labs have taken some steps to fix this problem. Let's check in with our resident food expert to find out more...

Hello everyone!

The tModLoader team and our amazing community of contributors continues to improve tModLoader. On November 1st the monthly update release of tModLoader will go live. Once again this month's release contains many improvements to the user experience, some gameplay bug fixes, as well as new features with examples and documentation for mod makers.

We'd like to remind modders about the preview branch where we test new features before they arrive in stable the following month. Modders interested in new these features, listed both on our GitHub and in the #preview-update-log of our Discord, can join the preview branch to get early access to the new features and test them in their mods. We really appreciate the feedback from modders using the preview branch to try out the new features.

One feature we are currently previewing is additional support for modded tiles that react to wind and player movement, as some vanilla tiles do. Modders on the preview branch can test it out and make sure it works correctly for chandeliers, banners, vines, and other similar tiles.

Modders and users should also keep an eye out for our monthly Steam announcement on the 1st where a complete listing of bug fixes and API changes for this month's release will be listed. The in-game news button on the main menu will direct you directly to the announcement once it is live.

As always, if you are having issues of any sort, definitely don't hesitate to check out our FAQ on github or reach out to us at our Discord.




The TML Steam Workshop has over 6000 mods for you to enjoy! Coupled with the in-game mod browser, the TML Steam Workshop is a great way to explore what modded Terraria has to offer - check it out today by clicking the banner above!




More features, continuing to evolve and grow what TML can do... and getting ready for 1.4.5.

As always, you can keep track the current progress and much more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.)

Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)




The Console/Mobile team has once again had a productive month. We have been adding the 1.4.5 update content in parallel with PC, further refining the control button changes we mentioned last time, and we put out a recent technical build on mobile that helps bring the backend up to speed with first party platforms - enabling future updates to go more smoothly. We stand ready to help make the next update as amazing as possible - we cannot wait for everyone to experience what it has to offer!


Jungle Juice has what you need when battling nefarious foes... or jumping into a hole that was deeper than you remember!

TERRARIA: THE BOARD GAME CAMPAIGN LATE PLEDGES

---

Let’s jump in!

ESSEN SPIEL RECAP
At the start of October, we were showing Terraria: The Board Game at Essen Spiel, the world’s largest tabletop game convention. Over 200,000 attendees visited the show; thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth to chat about the game, to play a demo and to see the playmat in person! It was a wonderful chance to meet backers of the Kickstarter, fans of the game and also board gamers who had never heard of Terraria.


The Paper Fort Games booth team at Essen Spiel 2024!​

Our demo table was full from open to close on all 4 days of the convention, and it was extremely rewarding to watch attendees explore the game. Here’s an excerpt from a review left by a player of the demo:

“…I played the demo at Essen this weekend- INCREDIBLY fun experience, even with 3 other strangers. The developer was clearly passionate about taking the spirit of Terraria and translating it into boardgame format … The best part of all, is no matter which choice you make you will still be progressing the game forward and generating value to the team … Many actions you make, including exploring can be highly rewarding. I don’t know if the path that my team took would have resulted in victory (honestly, I don't care) but subsequent games would force us to be a little more efficient with our actions to accomplish objectives and make progress toward a victory. Taking the first action was intimidating at first with all of the freedom of choice, but after you use the first or second action point it clicks…”


Thanks to @Yakos on BGG for uploading this picture of a game in progress at Essen!​

If you live in the US, we’ll be at PAX Unplugged in December; we’ll be sharing more details in November’s SOTG so keep an eye out!

COMPONENT SPOTLIGHT: HALLOWEEN PROMO PACK
As this is our October update and Halloween is almost upon us, it seemed appropriate to show you some more of the Halloween Promo Pack, unlocked as a stretch goal during the Kickstarter campaign and included with every pledge!



Pumpkin Armor: Gourd-ness me; don’t you look fetching! Now we know that technically, this armor isn’t a Halloween item in the videogame, but it seemed right to put it in this pack! This set provides a tasty boost to your base defence, but also grants the ability to re-roll your lowest value attack die once per turn; perfect for having a second go at a pesky enemy.

Rotten Egg: What’s that smell? That’s right; it’s everyone’s favourite antisocial consumable! Discard this card to perform a free medium-range attack (or maybe that should be a free-range medium attack?), rolling 2 four-sided dice.

Bladed Glove: Is that you, Freddy? This short-range weapon is cheap and speedy; just a single action point to roll 3 four-sided dice. Terrarian trivia buffs might know that despite its appearance, the Bladed Glove is classified as a sword in the videogame and as such will occupy that slot on your character board.

These Halloween items will be available in your games via the Goodie Bag, an optional card that you can add to the base game chest cards.

---

NEW ART: EQUIPMENT AND HOUSES
George has recently been working his way through the game’s equipment; here are some of our favourite pieces!



From left to right: Gold Bow, War Axe of the Night, Blood Butcherer, Dark Lance, Slime Staff, Ice Blade and Tendon Bow​

We’ve also been working with Re-Logic to perfect the game’s houses; you’ll build these (placing their tiles into your world) to unlock new crafting stations and powerup tokens throughout the game. We wanted the earliest houses to look basic and later ones to be more ornate, representing the way that players’ base building skills (and the items available to them) develop over the course of the game.



What’s your favourite detail in the houses? Let us know in the comments!

---

GAME DEVELOPMENT
Here are some of the game’s features we’ve been focusing on this month:

• Simplification of debuffs; these are now represented by tokens rather than cards and have an inbuilt 2-turn cooldown system.
  
• Adjustments to objectives to preserve early game momentum
  
• Boss behaviour alterations
  
• Further quality of life changes to the character boards, Bestiary/ crafting menu and minimap console.

Here’s a photo from a recent in-house playtest with Luke from fellow Nottingham-based design studio Iconiq Games (creators of the official Saw board game; very Halloween-appropriate!). A timely yoyo strike on a weakened King Slime, a mad dash to the ocean and a perfectly-placed pylon secured a victory!



I’ll be back next month with another designer diary. Remember; if you missed the campaign but would still like to get your hands on the game, late pledges are now available via the link below:

Until next time, Terrarians - we hope you have an amazing month, and we look forward to bringing you the latest and greatest next time!

Greetings Terrarians!

Fall is almost here, and we can't wait. For several members of the team, this is their favorite time of the year - Halloween decorations are already starting to go up! Speaking of, we hope everyone is already coming up with ideas for cool Terraria pumpkin carvings, costumes, and art because we always love to see them. In the meantime, the teams remain hard at work on adding/tweaking/fixing content for Terraria 1.4.5. The finish line is starting to take shape, though we admittedly do have a couple of decent-sized ideas we want to discuss internally and decide if we should take those on before we can say for certain. How's that for vague? All that said, we are pretty excited for what is in Terraria 1.4.5 already, what we know is still to be added, and what may or may not be yet to come. Just a little while longer...

All that said, let's see what's going on in the world of Terraria...






As we mentioned in the opening of the State of the Game, the team has the final list in-hand - as well as a few possible additional things that we might include, which we will decide in the next couple of weeks - and is hard at work with getting all of that content together. Terraria 1.4.5 has turned into quite an update, far exceeding our initial intent to "just do the Dead Cells content". We know the update process has been longer than usual (or anyone expected), but the end is in sight and we hope that it will not be too much longer before we can get and give a sense for timing.

We had a few spoilers in mind for this month, but none of them really felt right and/or are things we may not want to spoil at all before the update drops. So, that being the case, no spoilers from the PC side this month, I'm afraid. Of course, it is always a good time to look back on the tons of spoilers given for this update thus far - even we were floored by what all has been shared so far!

Oh, and if you haven't checked out Core Keeper yet, you should - the team at Pugstorm are good people and they have created a pretty fun game!

Hello everyone!

The tModLoader team and our amazing community of contributors continues to improve tModLoader. On October 1st the monthly update release of tModLoader will go live. Once again this month's release contains many improvements to the user experience, some gameplay bug fixes, as well as new features with examples and documentation for mod makers.

One major contribution we'd like to highlight this month is work by alueck that enables Max and Linux users to contribute directly to tModLoader. If you are a Mac or Linux user and have been wanting to contribute a new feature to tModLoader, it should now be possible and we are willing to help on Discord if you run into any roadblocks.

Modders and users should also keep an eye out for our monthly Steam announcement on the 1st where a complete listing of bug fixes and API changes for this month's release will be listed. The in-game news button on the main menu will direct you directly to the announcement once it is live.

As always, if you are having issues of any sort, definitely don't hesitate to check out our FAQ on github or reach out to us at our Discord.

Alongside keeping pace with the Re-Logic PC team in regards to adding all of the content and changes coming with Terraria 1.4.5, the DR Studios team has spent a considerable amount of time thinking of ways to evolve and improve the experience on console and mobile. One such area of focus has been around the issue of the screen feeling cluttered - especially on devices with smaller screens - due to the number of control buttons that are needed to enable a fully-operational control scheme for Terraria. We have brainstormed a lot of ways to tackle this issue, and we feel like we have landed on a pretty good new option for players - Radial Buttons!



These new radial buttons that let you combine up to 4 different actions into one button. Our main goal with them is to help cut down on clutter, as well as to better associate related actions in defaults (for example, combining potions + cursor options together in their own radial buttons). These support quick swipe gestures if you want to instantly use something, and are fully customizable by the player.


These will eventually be accompanied by a new default scheme, but there is a lot of discussion and iteration that needs to happen before we can show that to you.


We hope this will give players that find the screen to be a bit crowded on mobile a new way to play!

Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

Hello Terrarians! Chris here, lead developer at Paper Fort Games. The last month has flown by at Paper Fort Games HQ thanks to ongoing game development, playtesting, art production and convention preparation. In this month’s designer diary, I’ll be sharing development news, playmat and Developer Set art, videos of our latest Boss miniature prototypes and a look at how we’ve recently been using lasers as part of the design process.

If you missed the campaign but would like to get your hands on the game, don’t worry! Late pledges are now available by clicking the link below...

TERRARIA: THE BOARD GAME CAMPAIGN LATE PLEDGES

---

Let’s jump in!

PLAYMAT ART
In my last design diary, I shared George’s detailed black and white sketches of the Terrarian vs Wall of Flesh art piece that will be featured on the full-art side of the game’s playmat. He’s been hard at work bringing that scene to life and we’re very excited to reveal the full-colour art below!



Here’s the process from first sketch to final art:



We’ve also been updating the other side of the playmat; the one that helps you to set up the game. It features pre-printed starting biome tiles and spaces for NPCs, objectives and more. As you’ll be building your world on this side of the mat, we’ve opted to keep it relatively simple, so it doesn't detract from important gameplay information:



We can’t wait to see a physical version of this playmat; a sample is being produced right now and we're hoping to have it at our booth during Essen Spiel (more about that below), so swing by to see it if you’re there!

Want to get your hands on the playmat? You can get it as an add-on with any Terraria: The Board Game pledge!

---

BOSS MINIATURES
The latest prototypes of our boss miniatures recently arrived at the office; in the video below, you can see examples of the key system that allows boss parts to be removed/ swapped out during boss battles.

King Slime isn’t quite there yet; the transparent material looks pretty good but his key system needs further improvement. Also, the minis in this video are just spray painted; these won’t be their final colours as they will be cast in specific colour-matched plastics we have chosen for each boss.

The great thing about high-quality 3D printing is that we can try these models out, make changes and make sure they work before committing to making the final casting moulds.



---

GAME DEVELOPMENT (AND LASERS!)
Here are some of the game’s features we’ve been focusing on this month:

• Addition of a ‘threat’ track to speed up the game, incentivise Boss engagement and pave the way for threat level-dependent behaviour/ events in future expansions.
  
• Enhancements to the player board layout and shape.
  
• Implementation of an enemy retaliation mechanism.
  
• Addition of low-level consumables cards available to buy from the merchant NPC.
  
• Simplification of NPC spawning criteria.
  
• Improvement of the deluxe bestiary/ crafting menu layout for quicker, easier lookup.

Most of the changes above are mechanism-based, but some (like changes to the player board and the bestiary/ crafting menu) are physical. Previously we relied on manufacturers sending updated punchboard components, but Chris has recently been learning how to use an industrial laser cutter to make our own prototype punchboard components. No more cutting things out by hand or waiting for updated components to be shipped to us; we can now make a change, try it out and adjust as necessary within a very short timeframe. It’s a game-changer!



---

Playmat Sketches
One of the add-ons available with Terraria: The Board Game is the giant world playmat. One side features the game’s UI and provides a surface on which to build your world. The other will feature a full-art Terrarian vs. Wall of Flesh scene; below are George’s black + white work-in progress sketches of the showdown art. We can’t wait to share the full-colour art piece; the mat will be perfect as a desk mat or for playing other card games.



---

DEVELOPER SETS
George recently finished all of the Developer vanity sets for the game; here they are in all their painted glory! We’d like to say a huge thank you to the Re-Logic team for letting us include them, and for the developers’ feedback on their sets.



---

MEET US AT ESSEN SPIEL!
From October 3rd to 6th, we’ll be showing Terraria: The Board Game at Essen Spiel in Germany; the world’s largest tabletop game convention. If you’re coming to the show, we’d love to meet you; please stop by Hall 4, booth 4C430 to check out the latest version of the game (we’re between Hall 5 and the Galleria).

Greetings Terrarians!

Back to school already? That may have set the record for the fastest-feeling Summer of all time. We hope everyone at least got a chance to grab some fun times with friends and family over the past few months - before we all plunge headlong into what Fall has in store. On the Terraria front, we are full speed ahead in the second half of the year, with development of 1.4.5 still going quite well (we are nearing the 50th beta of this dev cycle!). Each month sees the addition of even more cool stuff - we are particularly excited for what was added this month, though we are only going to spoil one of the more "shocking" tidbits for now. We know everyone wants that juicy release date still, but we are patiently working through our list of "to do's", and we do not want to ever cut any corners... so it will still be a bit longer, I'm afraid.

With that out of the way... let's take a look at a particularly intriguing State of the Game!






While Terraria has had various weather effects for quite some time, they have mostly been cosmetic. Outside of wind - which can impact movement and projectiles - and possibly the visibility-limiting blizzard/sandstorms, weather has never really played a huge role in the Terraria adventure. Terraria 1.4.5 aims to change that up a bit by not only adding some new natural/weather phenomenons, but also making some weather elements more... interactive.

Remember, if you feel your hair standing on end, it may be time to seek shelter indoors! How shocking!

What other goodies have the team added this month? Well, be sure to check out the Console/Mobile section for at least one more spoiler... but as always, some things will remain a secret. Until next time folks!

Whittling down the list of remaining items, discussing what - if anything - should be added to said list.






Hello everyone!

The tModLoader team and our amazing community of contributors continues to improve tModLoader. On September 1st the monthly update release of tModLoader will go live. This month's release contains many improvements to the user experience, some gameplay bug fixes, as well as new features with examples and documentation for mod makers.

One new feature we want to showcase in particular is in-game workshop tag filtering. This has been a highly requested feature and we hope this new filter will help users find the mods they want more easily in-game. We expect this feature to especially help users find mods that support their native language.



Modders and users should also keep an eye out for our monthly Steam announcement on the 1st where a complete listing of bug fixes and API changes for this month's release will be listed. The in-game news button on the main menu will direct you directly to the announcement once it is live.

As always, if you are having issues of any sort, definitely don't hesitate to check out our FAQ on github or reach out to us at our Discord.




The TML Steam Workshop has over 6000 mods for you to enjoy! Coupled with the in-game mod browser, the TML Steam Workshop is a great way to explore what modded Terraria has to offer - check it out today by clicking the banner above!




More features, continuing to evolve and grow what TML can do... and getting ready for 1.4.5.

As always, you can keep track the current progress and much more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.)

Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)




This month, the DR team spent a good amount of time on some polish and QOL projects specific to Console and Mobile that we have had on the list for a good while. While we are keeping pace well with the development pipeline for Terraria 1.4.5 on PC, we were pleased that we had some available time to go ahead and tackle these rather than having to wait for a future update. More on that at a later time. That said, let's check out a quick Terraria spoiler, shall we?


Think outside the cage - free your captured critters from confinement while keeping them close by!

Terraria 1.4.5 will allow players to place captured critters out in the open via "leashing" them to a specific location. We hope this will help make your favorite Terraria world feel more lively than ever!

Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

Hello Terrarians! Chris here, lead developer at Paper Fort Games. This month, we’ve got development news, art to share, and an update on our adopted hive.

If you missed the campaign but would like to get your hands on the game, don’t worry! Late pledges are now available by clicking the link below...

TERRARIA: THE BOARD GAME CAMPAIGN LATE PLEDGES

---

Game Development
Over the past month, we’ve been fine-tuning some of the game’s mechanisms and rules based on feedback received from backers and playtesters. Here are some of the features we’ve been focusing on:

• Movement, digging and line-of-sight rules (these have been simplified and made more consistent)
  
• Weapon range adjustments to better reflect the digital game
  
• Hook-based movement; equip a hook to get around more easily!
  
• Difficulty scaling for 1/2 player vs 3/4 player games, including changes to objectives, bosses and available inventory slots based on player count.
  
• Small changes to resource/ equipment sharing rules to disincentivise inventory offloading pre-death
  
• Addition of pylons allowing long-distance mid to end-game travel.

We’ve also been working on physical aspects of the game, making some quality-of-life improvements to the player boards and enemy wound tracking.

---

Biome Tiles: Now with Fan-Chosen Critters!
A few months ago, and during the campaign, we asked for fans’ favourite critters, and we’ve been adding as many of them as we can to the game’s biome tiles (alongside ambient objects!). Below are just a few examples (there are many, many more!); which critters can you spot?

Adding these new features has really brought the tiles to life and made each feel even more unique. Though these are just aesthetic additions, we hope you’ll have fun discovering your favourite critters amongst the tiles!



---

Modular Miniatures
We’ve been working closely with our manufacturing partners on the boss miniatures to make sure that they’re easy to put together and take apart; below are examples of the ‘key’ system we’re working on. We’ve requested a couple of changes (for example, now that King Slime is transparent, we need to change the direction of the keys so that the sticky-out bit of the crown isn’t visible inside the miniature) but even so, we are hoping to receive physical samples for all of the miniatures in the next couple of weeks so we can test them out. We’ll share a video of the miniatures in action when they arrive!



---

Playmat Sketches
One of the add-ons available with Terraria: The Board Game is the giant world playmat. One side features the game’s UI and provides a surface on which to build your world. The other will feature a full-art Terrarian vs. Wall of Flesh scene; below are George’s black + white work-in progress sketches of the showdown art. We can’t wait to share the full-colour art piece; the mat will be perfect as a desk mat or for playing other card games.



---

The Underground Hive is Live!
The beehive that we adopted as part of the campaign’s social goals has now been chosen; the team down at Much Birch went above and beyond, taking the time to choose a hive worthy of the ‘Underground Jungle’ name! The sign reads 'The 'Underground Jungle' Hive; adopted by Paper Fort Games on behalf of the Terraria community'.

UNDERGROUND JUNGLE HIVE

We're looking forward to sharing even more next month. Remember; if you missed the campaign but would still like to get your hands on the game, late pledges are now available via the link below:

We will be back again next month with yet another fantastic Terraria T-Shirt design!




Over the years, we have certainly seen the collection of Terraria clothing expand - both in terms of designs and types of clothes. One thing that has always been missing, however, is some legit official Terraria headwear. That drought ended this week when Eighty Sixed launched the brand new Terraria Journey's End Hat!


Pick yours up today by clicking the image above!

Of course, the entire Terraria Collection over at Eighty Sixed is worth a look - they have some of the most unique and awesome Terraria merch designs around. You owe it to yourself to check it out!




The latest installment in the Terraria Graphic Novel journey is nearly upon us! When we last left our heroes, they were deep underground, and in quite a predicament! How will they get out of this one... and what else lies in store for Vale and crew? Fans won't have to wait much longer to find out, as Issue 7 will be available soon. Here's a sneak peek at the cover as well as some of the goodies that will be available alongside the Issue 7 release:



Issue 7 will be available just as soon as we have all of the various materials in-house and ready to ship! We will let everyone know once that moment arrives.

---

Of course, Issues 1-6 of the Graphic Novel Series are available for purchase - and preorders for the retail version of Book One (Issues 1-4, plus some fun bonus content) are still ongoing. We think you are really going to enjoy some of the "side stories" that we have planned... we just finished a fun one for Book One.

For our next Terraria Discord event, we have partnered with Penguin Games to create a parkour speedrun event! This speedrun event will have two separate brackets to ensure everyone has a chance at getting a place no matter their skill level.

The beginners bracket will play the course: Empyrean. The experienced bracket will play the course: Sans.

Because the experienced bracket will be running on a more advanced course, the prizes for placing high on the leaderboard will be more grand. While you can only submit active times for ONE BRACKET, you are free to switch for any reason. When switching brackets, the event team will remove any times you had from the leaderboard from the bracket you're switching from. Because of this though, we will not be doing a public leaderboard until the event is over.

Join the official Terraria Discord and visit our #server-announcement channel for all parkour event details.




Until next time, Terrarians - we hope you have an amazing month, and we look forward to bringing you the latest and greatest next time!

Greetings Terrarians!

What a ridiculously hot month July has been for pretty much everyone, and we are not just talking about the temperatures outside. Can you believe that it has been a year since the Great War of Axes & Trees? Of course, this year, it's been the the Terraria CEO Standoff - which way did you fall on how Terraria should be pronounced? What did you make of Temporary-CEO Chippy's ideas for the game? Anything there you'd like to see become a reality?

All that said, let's get into the latest and greatest of all things Terraria!






Observant Terrarians have likely noted several new whips that are coming your way in Terraria 1.4.5 - welcome additions for all of those summoner players out there! We haven't really taken a close look at a lot of these, but we thought we might do so with a never-before-seen whip. One imbued with the very power of the Queen of the Terrarian Jungle...


Unleash the volatile energies that permeate the Jungle on unwary foes - what a Vulgar Display of Flower indeed!

The team, of course, remains hard at work on both adding new things as well as tweaking and fixing things that we have already added. We know everyone wants a release date/window, but we are not ready to provide that just yet. Just be patient for us a bit longer... it will be worth it in the end.

The team at DR Studios has been able to spend a bit of time on the side diving into Terraria crossplay in an attempt to make some progress on that in parallel to the ongoing work on Terraria 1.4.5. The sooner we can get to the unanswered questions there, the better, right? Again, no promises, but we are happy with the progress thus far. That said, shall we dive into some 1.4.5 spoiler action?


CHANGE YOUR VOICE, FOOL YOUR FRIENDS, FUN AT PARTIES!


Why be stuck with the same old human voice effects when you can embrace your inner zombie... or turkey?

Terraria 1.4.5 introduces all new accessories that will allow players to change the way they sound.

Hello Terrarians! Chris here, lead developer at Paper Fort Games. The Kickstarter campaign for Terraria: The Board Game might be over, but the work continues at Paper Fort HQ! I’ll be carrying on with my designer diary over the next few months, providing a behind-the-scenes peek at the ongoing development and manufacturing process, but this month I’m going to recap our favorite bits of the campaign.

TERRARIA: THE BOARD GAME KICKSTARTER RECAP

Over 15,000 Terrarians supported the campaign, raising over 2 million dollars; what an incredible total! It’s not all about the final number, of course; we had a fantastic time getting there too. Here are some of our campaign highlights:

- We unlocked over 50 stretch goals to maximise the content and quality of the game, including a transparent King Slime boss miniature, promo packs, deluxe dice, developer vanity sets and a foiled, uniquely numbered, limited edition Pwnhammer card for every backer!



- We were able to support conservation charities via our social goals; we've adopted an orca, penguins, a beehive and a vulture on behalf of the Terraria community, as well as planting 100 trees!



- We held an AMA over on the official Terraria Discord and answered loads of great questions from fans; about the game, about working with the Re-Logic team and even about our favourite snacks… You can read all of the questions and our answers here: PAPER FORT GAMES AMA RECAP.


Thanks again to the amazing Discord mod team for hosting the AMA and for the community for making us feel so welcome!

- We hosted an in-game build contest, featuring some incredible entries!



Thank you again to every single one of you who supported the campaign in any way; we really, really appreciate it and we’re very excited to show you more over the coming months!

Our friends at 50 Amp Productions have some news and reminders that they would like to share - check it out!

• We heard a great deal of concern about the price of international shipping... and we agreed! International shipping rates are ridiculous. It took us more time than we hoped because the feat was greater than we had imagined. However, we are happy to share that our new shipping services have been integrated into our web store, and you should find that your shipping rates were slashed to a fraction of what they once were.
  
• Come by and check it out! And if you live in a country that has not yet seen the price change, email us at help@50ampproductions.com (mailto:help@50ampproductions.com) and tell us what country and we will look into it for you.
  
• For US fans, if you go to the site, you will see there are shipping savings for you as well. Spend $40 and we will pay your shipping for you. As a thank you for your continued support!

• The graphic novel collection is available for preorders on Barnes and Noble, Target.com, Amazon, Booksamillion…you name it! The release date is October 15 and you will be ordering direct from the retailer. We priced it at $10.99, essentially giving you over 20 pages for free. The book collects volume 1, issues 1-4 of the continuing comic book series and will get you ready to read volume 2! We are really proud of the book and hope you check it out.

• Lastly, we wanted to remind you that as you read this, all materials from issues 1-6 are in stock and shipping within days of order, barring mail holidays, of course! There is no preorder this time, so you can check it out, order it, and have it in your hands all within a tiny window of time.

Until next time, Terrarians - we hope you have an amazing month, and we look forward to bringing you the latest and greatest next time!

Greetings Terrarians!

June has been an exciting month, to be sure! Alongside the steady forward march of Terraria development, we saw the Terraria Board Game crowdfunding campaign go completely nuts and we also were able to finally reveal the special vanity set designed by a huge Terraria fan, Frank, via Make-A-Wish®. Suffice to say, it was an eventful month - and July looks to be just as hot. Speaking of heat, it seems to be ridiculously hot everywhere this summer - so no better time to keep cool, stay inside, and start that next Terraria playthrough!

Now, let's dive into some refreshing Terraria news...






It has been quite some time since we gave an update on just how massive the Terraria fanbase has grown. This was somewhat by design, as we had our sights set on doing so once we passed a somewhat-obscure game about a plumber and his brother trying to save a princess from this dragon-turtle thing...


Thanks to the support of Terrarians everywhere, we are very proud to share that Terraria has surpassed 58 million units sold - 58.7m to be more exact, with nearly 32m from PC alone!

Once again, we are beyond humbled and thankful for your continued support - it is the force that drives us every day to make even more awesome Terraria experiences. I wonder what might happen when we get to sixty million...





In case you missed it, the Re-Logic team recently had the distinct pleasure to work alongside a massive Terraria fan, Frank, as we crafted his very own Terraria vanity set! Frank is a 17-year-old teenager from Rockaway, New Jersey who is battling a critical illness. Frank declared to Make-A-Wish® New Jersey that his one true wish was to have his own Vanity Set in Terraria - and we were beyond thrilled to make that a reality!


You can check out Frank's vanity set - the Heroicis Set, complete with "Film Noir" shader - when Terraria 1.4.5 releases!




Ever wondered what those Re-Logic beta testing playthroughs are like? What sorts of bugs are found? What shenanigans take place? Well, Chippy recently put together a nice little video about his experiences as a beta tester on Terraria 1.4.5 around a year ago - a documentary for science, if you will.

Could YOU pass the Terraria Quiz?

The team at DR Studios remains hard at work on both Terraria 1.4.5 content as well as console and mobile specific tweaks and fixes. More details to come on all of that down the line, but suffice to say that we think that the Terraria experience will be the best that it has ever been on all platforms once 1.4.5 comes out! That said, let's dive into some spoilers shall we?


As we mentioned last month, we are undergoing a full review of all gamepad/control maps and making QOL changes that we think everyone will enjoy. Here's a taste of some changes from this past month's work on this project:




A buff icon was added in the top left corner, which only displays if the player has unused buff items.


The state display in the top right corner has been expanded on to include more things and their mappings. Health / mana potions also display here in appropriate circumstances, though whether they'll be moved up with buffs is still being discussed.



Bombs - not just for blasting random holes in the ground anymore!

June saw the completion of the Terraria Board Game Kickstarter - and wow, we are blown away!!!

Over 15,000 Terrarians - both old and new - pledged over two million dollars to make Terraria: The Board Game as amazing as it can possibly be. Every single stretch goal was met, the comments were amazing to read and respond to, and we cannot wait to get everything put together and in your hands!

The current expected delivery timing for Terraria: The Board Game is June 2025, but the team at Paper Fort Games will update us all as things move along. In the meantime, the Re-Logic team will continue to partner closely with PFG in order to ensure this latest Terraria experience is authentic and of the highest quality.

If you missed out on the Kickstarter, don't fret - we expect a version to hit retailers down the road as well. The gameplay will be the same, though perhaps with a bit fewer fancy doodads.


TERRARIA: THE BOARD GAME KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN




Hot on the heels of the recent CEO battle between Redigit and Chippy, this month's Terraria T-shirt drop on Terraria.shop dives deep into the age old question that has bothered humanity since the dawn of time: how exactly does one pronounce "Terraria"? There seems to be some disagreement - and it often seems to fall along country lines...

Of course, with it being close to Independence Day, we couldn't help but poke a little fun at this long-standing Terrarian debate:



Pick yours up today by clicking the image above - and be sure to check out the entire collection of amazing merch over at terraria.shop!

We will be back again next month with yet another fantastic Terraria T-Shirt design!




Hello everyone!

We are proud to share that as of this Wednesday (June 26), the 50 Amp Productions web store is back open for business! We have fully integrated our new shipping and logistics system, which should result in cheaper shipping costs as well as more timely and reliable delivery to customers. As always, if you are having any issues, let us know via email at help@50ampproductions.com.

But wait, there's much more!


Issue 6 of the Terraria Graphic Novel is available right now - along with some new collectibles that we know you will enjoy. Multiple packages are available on http://www.50ampproductions.com/, same as with previous issues. No preorders this time, however: we have issue 6 materials in stock TODAY and all orders will ship within 5-7 days of you placing your order!

---


We are also proud to share the release date of Book One of the Terraria Graphic Novel - October 15, 2024!

Book One will contain the story from Issues 1-4. Each Book release is planned to include some extra goodies that will only be available within each Book. For now, we will reveal one of our favorites - we are planning to add "Terraria Short Stories" - special side stories that take place outside of Vale's main journey. What are those NPCs doing when you are out of town? What other crazy adventures and happenings occur in Terraria? We hope these Terraria Short Stories will be a fun treat for everyone as we seek to explore parts of Terraria that are a bit off of the beaten path!

Preorders are open right now on Amazon and Barnes & Noble - check out the links below to ensure that you get your copy on release day!

We will be reopening our web store on Wednesday June 26! Thanks for your patience while we took the time needed to fully integrate our brand new logistics and fulfillment system.

You won't want to miss out on where the journey is taking Vale and crew next in the World of Terraria! Here's just a little teaser of what lies ahead...







The paperback collected edition of volume 1 of our story (issues 1-4) will be released on October 15. You can preorder your copy on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or your local comic shop to ensure that you have your copy the day it releases. We have included a few links below - but you can also check your favorite shop to find out more!

Each Book release is planned to include some extra goodies that will only be available within each Book. For now, we will reveal one of our favorites - we are planning to add "Terraria Short Stories" - special side stories that take place outside of Vale's main journey. What are those NPCs doing when you are out of town? What other crazy adventures and happenings occur in Terraria? We hope these Terraria Short Stories will be a fun treat for everyone as we seek to explore parts of Terraria that are a bit off of the beaten path!

As we are able to confirm additional content available for each Book, we will let you know!

Greetings Terrarians!

As you all know, we cannot say enough about how much we appreciate the members of our community. In addition, we have always tried our best to be a charity-minded company. With that as background, we are beyond thrilled to share that we are partnering with the Make-A-Wish® Foundation to make a young Terrarian's wish come true!

Make-A-Wish® New Jersey contacted us a few months ago to share that they had a huge Terraria fan whose biggest wish we could help make a reality. Of course, we jumped at the chance to make this happen and we were quickly introduced to Frank. Frank is a 17-year-old teenager from Rockaway, New Jersey who is battling a critical illness. Frank declared to Make-A-Wish® New Jersey that his one true wish was to have his own Vanity Set in Terraria.

Since then, we have been working closely with Frank to bring this Vanity Set to life - from initial concepts to various iterations to adding flavor text and more, it has been a real honor and pleasure to work hand-in-hand with Frank to make his dream a reality. He is certainly a Terrarian, through and through!

With all that said, we are pleased to be able to reveal Frank's Vanity set, which will be coming everyone's way with the Terraria 1.4.5 update...

We also included a brand new shader, inspired by the "film noir" style of Frank's design. We haven't fully sorted out how this will be toggled just yet, but we will in time.

As always, there may be further tweaks and such to this set and the shader before it goes live in Terraria 1.4.5, but we didn't want to wait any longer to share it with all of you!



We also sent Frank a little Terraria swag...



Huge thanks go out to Frank, Make-A-Wish® New Jersey, the entire Terraria dev team, and our very own Jaxrud🌳 who took on the monumental task of fulfilling this wish. We cannot wait to see Frank's reaction when he gets a chance to dive into Terraria with his very own Vanity Set later this year!

A wish helps kids look past their limitations, families overcome anxiety and entire communities experience joy. Most importantly, wishes can improve a child’s quality of life. We believe a single wish transforms lives.

With their national headquarters based in Phoenix, Arizona, Make-A-Wish® is one of the world’s leading children’s charities, with 57 chapters serving children in every community in the United States and its territories, and nearly 40 international affiliates.
