That's essentially what kept happening with minecraft and notch except he did eventually sell.

You love to see that a community can make a developer keep loving their game.

I played Starbound before Terraria, and found it to be more interesting. Played it for several hours then moved on.

Years later, Starbound seems abandoned while Terraria is popular and healthy. Is that about right?

I "beat" the game in 2012, but it was an ungodly number of hours. Is it worth playing through again? New stuff? New mechanics? A small world might go faster?

[–] Jackdude01@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's absolutely worth playing again, tons of new content and quality of life improvements. Progression should be faster in a small world, but personally I feel like medium is ideal for a single player world.

Just cleared the game using few small worlds, they work really well for returning players looking to see the new stuff. Trying out one of the secret seeds like the constant could also spice up the experience.

I'd personally get Tmod and install Calamity Mod with a few other choice recommendations.

It's still such a great game with great modders.

Terraria is just the best

While I haven't delved too much into the last few content patches, it's definitely a game that has such an insane amount of things you can find and experience, and unless you do the exact same playstyle every playthrough it has a ton of replay value.

Having played on and off since 1.0 it's still a game I find worth picking up and doing a new run of.
