Title: Terraria development stops
Post by: idolminds on Tuesday, February 21, 2012, 02:52:44 PM: Moving on. (http://www.indiegamemag.com/andrew-redigit-spinks-says-goodbye-to-terraria-development-comes-to-a-halt/)

Some moved on to Starbound, and one of the others is just done with it/has real life things to do. So there will be another patch update and then the game is more or less "done".

I setup everything so I can start running the server again a week or two ago if anyone is still interested. We need to get all that god gear.

Eurogamer (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-09-11-terraria-heading-to-psn-and-xbla-early-next-year) has a little more info. Looks like another studio is handling the port so I wouldn't count on any new content making it back to the PC.

The controls are just fine on PC, but the jumping and moving around felt awkward to me with a keyboard. But on a controller there might be aiming issues. I'm assuming they'll use the right stick to aim you attacks/digging/building.

Post by: Ace_O_Spades on Friday, October 11, 2013, 06:45:43 AM: Yeah I just loaded up Terraria again. They added a lot. Mostly cosmetic stuff I've seen so far, like zombies wearing rain gear.
