I grew another smaller farm deeper down, this time without a brick wall background, and the giant mushroom did grow.

Also, I am up again for Saturday afternoon. Do whatever you like (except ruin other peoples' stuff, of course). Mi casa es su casa.

Also, for anybody interested in trying this game out for the first time, the game is currently half off, thus only $5 on Steam until Thursday morning, I believe. If you've never used Steam before, that itself is a free download.

So, anyway, MAJOR update recently.

TRAP MECHANICS!

Check it out. So excited! It's what I've always wanted for Terraria!


Lastly, ... ... is it just me, or does this new track make you feel very, very happy and serene?

WARNING: NEW BIOME SPOILER (Albeit just the music)

Spoiler

Because, really, I swear, I would never want to leave that Biome if the music is any indication of the sort of content it may harbor.

[Koh]

Awesome, all of that stuff looks amazing . That music makes it sound like we're setting off on a Journey for the first time in an MMO; you know, a tutorial theme :3. It's so peaceful, yet I bet those Unicorns will rape you in the ass if you aren't careful.

[Nathaniel]

Looks awesome. I look forward to the December 1st release. In fact, I wouldn't mind starting a new world around then to experience some of it together. Too bad that is on a Thursday though, assuming it happens on schedule. Until then, I still want to make the most out of the world we created. I will be around tomorrow afternoon and a special Tuesday off on Election Day (a day that is any other time a hectic busy one for me).

Just got this, and I'm starting to get used to the controls. Built a house so far, and I had to save my Guide from getting owned by Demon Eyes once!

[ShadowTiger]

Oh, don't even worry about your Guide. He resurrects quite often. I locked him in a house in the sky.

Aww shoot, I missed the hosting :C. I've been busy over the weekend, and then I started Minecrafting XD. Any plans to host sometime this weekend Nat?

Nate is usually nice enough to host it Saturday Afternoons. The more the merrier.

When 1.1 comes out, we'll likely restart the world and start a new one. I'm going to totally haunt the Hallow. I'll likely keep saying that, too.

[Nathaniel]

Every Saturday until the end of time. Well, not really the end of time, but no need to discuss when it eventually ends.

[ShadowTiger]

Or until we lose our wristwatches and clocks.


Anyway, this is a spoiler-ridden post. It involves the latest Terraria Update, visible on the Dev Blog forum on the Terraria Forum. If you've been there, you've already seen what I'm about to post.

Spoiler

(I just noticed that the image name is "unicron"...

This here is (very likely) a picture of the new "Holy" Biome, The Hallow. It's said to be the opposite of the Corruption. Literally, the "Anti-Corruption Biome."

Yet, here we see the main player using a flamethrower on a unicorn.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't Unicorns good? Keeping in mind that there is a dramatic difference between holy and good. They are two mutually exclusive terms. They really, honestly are. Not kidding at all. So if we're fighting a unicorn, does this mean that they start off hostile? Or did we somehow anger a unicorn and now have to fight it? We can't fight bunnies, right? But we can fight unicorns!

So does this mean that The Hallow is going to be a hostile landscape? Do we have to plant a seed to raise up The Hallow biome, or will it be the equivalent of the Corruption and Jungle, starting above ground and going deep underground. I think the latter is far more likely. I personally feel like it's unfortunate, but I can't wait to see how the two Biomes will interact. Maybe we bring things from one Biome to negate the other.

By the way, if you haven't already heard the soundtrack for The Hallow, here they are.

... Yep.

[Koh]

When the update comes out, I'm totally going to make a new world and build a new base in the Hallow . Music is better than the Jungle >B). And the underground Hallow sounds like a mix between the Hallow and Underground. Which....makes perfect sense, actually.

[Nathaniel]

At this point, I am not going to actively pursue any further playing on the current world. If someone wishes to continue with it, they can personally request it out of me and we can arrange a time to run the server. I've kind of burned myself out with the game at least for now, and probably won't have that interest revived until the 1.1 update comes out in December.

In the meantime, if anybody has any requests for our new multiplayer world under version 1.1, we can discuss that. I'm pretty open about it. Things such as the name of the world (something other than "PureZC"), size (I'm assuming medium again), or any special rules. I'd like to start with new characters again, to regain the experience under 1.1, but if most wish otherwise, I can go with that.
etc etc etc

[Koh]

I was also planning to start with a new character . After getting a new feel for 1.1 and playing for a while with him, then I'll bring all my old crap over. But yes, the world size should remain medium. Also, we should end up landscaping it as well, so it's a smooth run, like before . As for the world name, we can use what I used for my own multiplayer world: "Herp-A-Derp Land" XD.
On all seriousness, we can use that, OR, we can call it On the Green, if you see what I did there .

In addition, it seems Females now have a female shaped body in 1.1.

[ShadowTiger]

Yep. A few overviews of the new 1.1:



And just in case you missed it the first time, (How dare you. ) here's an analysis of the preview video.



Excitement.

That action-specific cursor is going to be interesting. I really hope it's a hotkey. Also can't wait to see what they do with the flail/grapple. I really hope nothing was nerfed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

No sooner than I posted that, ...

This.

Amazing.

[Koh]

There's no doubt that we'll want to start a new character and world for this update now . NEW CONTENT, HERE WE COME! I cannot believe there are THAT many new items o.o. They increased the amount exponentially. Not to mention they'll have random attributes now .
