"just 1 more ore vein, then i'll go to bed. . .honest" as for the updates . i thought they were done, with 1.3. i hadn't touched the game in 5 years. i suspect 1.4 actually is "the journey's end" though , because the devs consider moon lord to be "The Final Boss"
Why is no one talking about Scott Shelly? He made all this amazing music and managed to set such a good atmospheric feeling just by basing the song on a word like 'night' That takes some skill!
What I love most about the music is that somehow it sounds the same as the way the game looks. Terraria has a retro pixelated look, and yet manages to be beautiful and distinct. You know exactly what each environment and item is. The music is the same, it has that 8-bit digital sound and is still charming, haunting, nostalgic etc. as the situation demands. Both the visuals and the music impose deliberate limitations on themselves, and manage to work within those limitations to create something that works better than it could have done *without* the limitations. Genius.
Best game music of all time. Its prob my all time favorite game, i appreciate it so much and really cherrish it. Back in the SNES days, i dreamed of a game like this. I am so thankful for Terraria and the Devs hard work to this day.

@@kereminde I had the same issue, and trust me, it sucks. Unfortunately I do not have a strict guide but your best bet is to fiddle around in settings until the resolution works. It sucks, but its either that or bad Terraria.
You missed the part of the story where Finn ripped sprites straight off of Final Fantasy and nearly got Re-Logic sued not long before leaving to make Chucklefish.
This guy is one of the worst scumbags in the gaming industry. Back then I funded Starbound with 500$ because I thought it would be evern bettern than Terraria way back then, I have learnd better later. The hat that I have created for that backer level was not even put as I wanted it to be into the final game.
I feel like Andrew is way too comfortable to leaving his comfort zone. I was listening to this video while working and the only thing I heard "So Andrew decided to move on." "And Andrew felt its finished" "Andrew felt it complete"
Honestly, after seeing some changes made in Journey's End, i was glad that he decided to stop working on it. He let Terraria's fame get to his head, if he continued to to work on it, it would probably hurt the game.
@@ewg5511 Yeah, with how butthurt he got over the backlash by the community for adding a negative penalty to what was essentially a mere vanity choice (the whole torch luck debacle) without telling anybody he added it in the first place showed how petty he could be with his own game.

One of the things I always loved about Terraria is the fact that the default difficulty makes you only lose money, not items upon death. I always disliked dying and losing everything in Minecraft, along with creatures destroying your base. I disliked it so much that until the update that let you use cheats to prevent losing items on death and stop monsters from destroying blocks, I didn't play outside of peaceful difficulty.
tbf losing items in terraria would be a much bigger pain in the ass than in minecraft because the items in terraria are much harder to obtain, like finding them randomly in chests or having to defeat bosses, in minecraft if you lose your endgame armour you just have to go mine more diamonds
@@maskettaman1488 Yes, that's understandable because he wanted to give the family attention. Imagine if he just ignored them because he is working on Terraria everyday.

And 16th best selling game, selling more copies then every cod game, every csgo game, most pokemon games and Everything below that. Also the 2 biggest indie game, (1 is minecraft) pretty crazy.
@@MrGloriousBastard It's been Portal 2 for a very long time. Factorio was number 2 for a long time, but Hades has dropped it to number 2. Also people giving negative joke reviews like "This game ruined my life because I can't stop playing it".
It's so nostalgic to hear all this. TotallyTerra, if you're out there, it's BlueBoy, or BlueBoy2001, or whatever it was. I hope you're doing well. Back before Terraria I played the crap out of Super Mario Bros X, Red's game before Terraria. I used my custom level builds for a 4th grade art project. Glad to see you mention it.
Andrew 2 years after 1.4.2: “Ok guys, we promise that 1.4.3 WILL be the last update” Another year later: “Seriously, the 1.4.4 is defiantly gonna be the final update” Yet another year later with 1.5: “whoops”
@@lordofallspoons4190 I doubt it. They have probably moved on. You don't make an update called journey's end then continue updating. Now I am just hoping terraria 2 or any of their future projects will be as fun.
I am wondering if Finn, since he founded chucklefish, came up with Starbound to somehow work personally on "his" ideal version of Terraria, since it has many of the features Andrew wanted to include in his second Terraria game at the time. I would love to see a video about it since when I played for the first it felt very forgotten (maybe it's my fault since I never get much involved with communities), and it shocked me to see so much content in it. Truly another wonderful game that is both very similar and very different from Terraria.
I'll be honest, Starbound went downhill for the most part. It had its peak back in beta, but most fans including me were disappointed after the release and the updates. The game used to be good, but nowadays, it's just a shell of it's former self. The mods are awesome though, as they're pretty much the only thing that is keeping the community alive. It's pretty sad to see a game that's only good when modded.
The game was a disappointment. Additionally, a lot of its crowd funding backers got screwed out of their money. It's not a game worthy of praise, and I definitely wouldn't call it "wonderful".
Another great one! Thank you for explaining the story in such a linear way, as i struggled very much with understanding everything that was happening during the development of this game.
Amazing video , it's always fun to see the thought process and hard work indie developers put into their games It's really nice and motivate to see how 1 guy can create something that millions of people can enjoy
Hey Glen, you should consider covering No Man's Sky. It's a bit different from the indie games you've covered on this channel, but there's definitely a lot of interesting history behind the development of that game.
I considered doing a video about it, but when Internet Historian released his video about No Man’s Sky’s development, I don’t think there’s much I can contribute to the topic anymore.
Yeah! I like how they lied to everyone and falsely advertised their game. Make a video about how people forgot about how much he lied and praise the game.
@@DeathMetalMilitia305 No one has forgotten about the initial disaster. But also maybe people shouldn't let themself be hyped to a degree where they send bomb threats for a lack of butterflies.
@@DeathMetalMilitia305 I won't damn the lying since it wasn't malice but incompetence that made it occur. There's a reason PR teams make fucking millions, talking with press is a nightmare and saying the wrong shit about a product can ruin you. If they had taken the money and run instead of sticking around and adding the shit they promised then I'd run on that hate train too. But sticking around tells me that they did feel bad about it and wanted to apologize, which means that they're worthy of being forgiven. That doesn't mean turn off your defences though. Always wait for reviews, watch games you want to buy before you make the commitment, be wary, and pre-ordering is like taping a "kick me" sign to your own back so don't be an idiot.
Years n years ago, a mate said that Terraria is just like 2D Minecraft, so I didn't pick it up. A few years after that I got it on Steam for cheap, and found it's actually so so much more than that! A true masterpiece, that stands on it's own, with alot of clones, some that are actually quite good, like Starbound. Great vid as always mate! Keep em coming
Hahah he is easy! Prioritize movement over damage. Then just dodge everything, and it doesn't matter how long the fight takes, cause you rarely if ever take damage.
There are no words to describe how much I love Terraria, it has been engrained in my memory as one of the best games I've ever had the pleasure to play, and I will keep playing it for as long as I can breathe
Nice Video! Seems fairly accurate from my perspective for all of the 2011 stuff, and Good job pronouncing my last name, some people really butcher it. :p Although a small note, I didn't make 'Major Design Decisions'. On the game itself, I only really wrote a few NPC dialogues and made some suggestions for possible items, but mostly my work was behind the scenes (Beta Testing, bug tracking, reading and answering emails, patch-note tracking) and of course the community management stuff. Terraria has grown so much since I left the team and I am glad to raise a glass to it's 10 year anniversary. - Jeremy 'Blue'
Holy cow, wasn't expecting to see you in the comments! Haha I couldn't find any reference material for your last name, but I'm glad I got it right :D See, I knew you mostly did behind the scenes stuff and then there was an article or an interview with Andrew where I read you helped make some of the major design decisions, but those things can always be exaggerated or taken out of context of course so thank you for clearing that up. Also, thanks for leaving a comment! I never expect my videos to reach any of the people that worked on the game so it's awesome when they leave a comment and I'm glad to hear you liked the video. Cheers Jeremy!
Excellent concept combined with an excellent pricing model, especially the 4-pack value option - something not many games are designed to utilize - served them very well. They also had really good netplay, which has not always been the case with games of it's age.
Glad to hear you're enjoying the videos and thank you for subscribing! I'm not sure if I'll do one on Fez, since the Indie Game: The movie documentary told that story better than I ever could. I've got plenty of other videos in the works though!
Love these videos. I like how you dont choose games based on popularity, you always end up choosing some of the most interesting and fascinating game developement history.
Glad to hear you like them! Sometimes popularity is a factor, but yeah, if there’s no interesting story I wouldn’t cover it. Most of time there is an interesting story luckily :D
I remember 1.1, it felt like not many knew about Terraria, slowly though, in 1.2 I got a few friends into it and made a few friends that played Terraria, then suddenly 1.3 it felt like everyone knew Terraria, I feel like Terraria's rise was so gradual I just didn't notice it was so big when it was.
Awesome cover as always. You know, after watching this video, it just popped in my mind on what next cover you should do - The Binding Of Isaac. Very soon its last DLC will be released, which is even bigger and considered size of a "sequel" (meaning very big dlc). Since last DLC is just around the corner, it would be a good time doing a cover, especially when the creator of the game is also doing (and did) interviews before the release.
Thank you! Maybe people are more reluctant to subscribe because I have a limited number of videos on my channel. Takes me about a month to create video.
Terraria a year ago: yeah this is final update Terraria half a year ago: no more update after this bug fixes Terraria now: literally released a collaboration news with Don't Starve
Can you also make a video about Edmund Mcmillen? Hem made the super meat boy and binding of isaac series. I definitely want to know more about such a unique person!
The Noclip channel already made an amazing video about Edmund Mcmillen's career so I don't think there's much I could contribute to the topic. I might cover his individual games though.
Every major update to terraria just went and added good depth to the game, and sometimes put layers together for the players to just enjoy more and more. We can only hope that when they do finally decide it's time for a new creation upon to succeed terraria, they'll follow this into making something going just as amazing that grows more dynamically. They've already overcome a lot of terraria's old limitations along 1.3 and 1.4. But I can imagine how hard it could really be to come up with something that adds greater depth and options to a new game creation. Starbound already tried it, bringing a game with many worlds to build on and inhabit, but Pushed upon other harder limits to deal with and other issues. I could really imagine though that if they did come up with a true successor, they'd work together to make something outstanding too, after so many ups and down to experiment with. Maybe someday we'll see it, With a greater engine to power it, along with worlds that really seem to stretch out as far as the imagination.
This man could make a game where a man wearing 2 bunnies on his head can defeat an eldritch god with a blade made of rainbows and a cat head that shoots, well, rainbows and cat heads along with a blonde girl with a syringe sound so serious
So much content in a single game with a good progressive game play setting, I loved how I explored the world's and bosses for the first time and enjoyed getting almost every items in the game. I played with my little brother and sisters to help me with the bosses on consoles and they had a blast with the game as I played guiding them through the game. Definitely would own this game on any device but the PC version is one of the best experiences for it.
This was so well done as always! I really love the story behind this game. Terraria is an all time favorite of mine. Been playing it since it first came out and I would come back to it everytime a big update was released to replay the game from start. Not to mention all the awesome mods out! Great video Glen!!
6:40 You mentioned Fin Brice leaving, but no mention of Starbound? Starbound was announced by Fin in 2012 which seems to be around the same time he left. I thought Starbound was the sequel to Terraria for a long time.
I always thought of Terraria as the game I played with my friends in middle and high school, not many people I've known have even heard of the game, much less owned it. Re-Logic struck gold, and their continued development and decisions about the game launched it from an indie game that was forced to release early, to the 14th best-selling video game of ALL TIME. An indie studio releasing a game with 4 bosses and a pretty limited set of items earned 2 million dollars in the first week of it being on sale, all while they were hot-fixing the game from the beta stage it had to release in. Their continued support of their community is what sets them so far apart from the major studios, and they deserve all the success they've received, and more.

Terraria feels like it's been perpetually stuck in a world of "just one more update", and I for one am not complaining.
"Just one more game" 2 hours later: "Aight for real just one more game" 3 hours later: "Why do I hear birds outside?"
The “just 10 more minutes” of game developers.
"just 1 more ore vein, then i'll go to bed. . .honest"
as for the updates . i thought they were done, with 1.3. i hadn't touched the game in 5 years.

The "just one more turn" of Civ games
“I’m done with the game now”

What I love most about the music is that somehow it sounds the same as the way the game looks.
Terraria has a retro pixelated look, and yet manages to be beautiful and distinct. You know exactly what each environment and item is. The music is the same, it has that 8-bit digital sound and is still charming, haunting, nostalgic etc. as the situation demands.

@@gilly123_9 No, that is not how you are supposted to play the game.

I am wondering if Finn, since he founded chucklefish, came up with Starbound to somehow work personally on "his" ideal version of Terraria, since it has many of the features Andrew wanted to include in his second Terraria game at the time. I would love to see a video about it since when I played for the first it felt very forgotten (maybe it's my fault since I never get much involved with communities), and it shocked me to see so much content in it. Truly another wonderful game that is both very similar and very different from Terraria.
I'll be honest, Starbound went downhill for the most part. It had its peak back in beta, but most fans including me were disappointed after the release and the updates. The game used to be good, but nowadays, it's just a shell of it's former self. The mods are awesome though, as they're pretty much the only thing that is keeping the community alive. It's pretty sad to see a game that's only good when modded.
Considering Starbound's dev cycle chewed through 4 different dev teams before release, I'd say it's quite different.
@@Minnan1 didn't know about all of this, the game feels very incomplete and I see why now... I still like it tho
The game was a disappointment. Additionally, a lot of its crowd funding backers got screwed out of their money. It's not a game worthy of praise, and I definitely wouldn't call it "wonderful".
@@Drakonus_ Yeah. It's weird when the beta of the game had more content at one point than the official release did.
Another great one! Thank you for explaining the story in such a linear way, as i struggled very much with understanding everything that was happening during the development of this game.
My pleasure, glad to hear the video could help!
I don’t think I’ve ever been this entertained watching a UA-cam video
Glad to hear that!
This is because you never watched "Le fishe"
Just found your channel and the quality of this video is something else. More subs are owed to you. Glad to be here
Thank you very much and glad to have you!
Wow, fantastic video! You described the game's history pretty accurately and the editing is so clean.
Thank you, I put lots of time in the storytelling and editing so I'm glad to hear you enjoyed those aspects!
Amazing video , it's always fun to see the thought process and hard work indie developers put into their games
It's really nice and motivate to see how 1 guy can create something that millions of people can enjoy
Thank you, glad to hear you enjoyed it!
Hey Glen, you should consider covering No Man's Sky. It's a bit different from the indie games you've covered on this channel, but there's definitely a lot of interesting history behind the development of that game.
I considered doing a video about it, but when Internet Historian released his video about No Man’s Sky’s development, I don’t think there’s much I can contribute to the topic anymore.
Yeah! I like how they lied to everyone and falsely advertised their game. Make a video about how people forgot about how much he lied and praise the game.
@@DeathMetalMilitia305 No one has forgotten about the initial disaster.
But also maybe people shouldn't let themself be hyped to a degree where they send bomb threats for a lack of butterflies.
@@DeathMetalMilitia305 I won't damn the lying since it wasn't malice but incompetence that made it occur. There's a reason PR teams make fucking millions, talking with press is a nightmare and saying the wrong shit about a product can ruin you.
If they had taken the money and run instead of sticking around and adding the shit they promised then I'd run on that hate train too. But sticking around tells me that they did feel bad about it and wanted to apologize, which means that they're worthy of being forgiven.
That doesn't mean turn off your defences though. Always wait for reviews, watch games you want to buy before you make the commitment, be wary, and pre-ordering is like taping a "kick me" sign to your own back so don't be an idiot.
@@DeathMetalMilitia305 bullshit, the game is good now. The developers spent their savings on it and we're inexperienced but today it's a good game
Well this video aged well. Get ready for 1.4.5 guys!
Years n years ago, a mate said that Terraria is just like 2D Minecraft, so I didn't pick it up. A few years after that I got it on Steam for cheap, and found it's actually so so much more than that! A true masterpiece, that stands on it's own, with alot of clones, some that are actually quite good, like Starbound. Great vid as always mate! Keep em coming
"to create something simply fun to play"
me trying to kill duke fishron : ""fun""
Me on Expert Underground Desert at the beginning of the game
skill issue
first time I managed to kill fishron was with the piranha gun kiting him around the entire map with ninja gear lol. It's a tough fight for sure
you don't need to kill Duke Fishron.
Hahah he is easy! Prioritize movement over damage. Then just dodge everything, and it doesn't matter how long the fight takes, cause you rarely if ever take damage.
2 years later, and we are getting frequent updates again xD
Glad to see your still going with the high quality videos!
There are no words to describe how much I love Terraria, it has been engrained in my memory as one of the best games I've ever had the pleasure to play, and I will keep playing it for as long as I can breathe
My god these videos are not only put together with lots of effort but the editing is beautiful! You really deserve more subs. Good job! :)
Nice Video! Seems fairly accurate from my perspective for all of the 2011 stuff, and Good job pronouncing my last name, some people really butcher it. :p
Although a small note, I didn't make 'Major Design Decisions'. On the game itself, I only really wrote a few NPC dialogues and made some suggestions for possible items, but mostly my work was behind the scenes (Beta Testing, bug tracking, reading and answering emails, patch-note tracking) and of course the community management stuff.
Terraria has grown so much since I left the team and I am glad to raise a glass to it's 10 year anniversary.
- Jeremy 'Blue'
Holy cow, wasn't expecting to see you in the comments! Haha I couldn't find any reference material for your last name, but I'm glad I got it right :D
See, I knew you mostly did behind the scenes stuff and then there was an article or an interview with Andrew where I read you helped make some of the major design decisions, but those things can always be exaggerated or taken out of context of course so thank you for clearing that up.
Also, thanks for leaving a comment! I never expect my videos to reach any of the people that worked on the game so it's awesome when they leave a comment and I'm glad to hear you liked the video. Cheers Jeremy!
This video: no more updates
Terraria now: Final, final, FINAL update.. the sequal
I loved that every update is the "final" update
3 years of my life has lead me to this moment to see how it all began
This editing is so good, the 4d terraria background, the pixel art of the person talking, and the terraria text on the screen
Excellent concept combined with an excellent pricing model, especially the 4-pack value option - something not many games are designed to utilize - served them very well. They also had really good netplay, which has not always been the case with games of it's age.
Love these "how it was made" videos of yours. They're very entertaining and well produced. Keep up the great work!
bro u have very high quality videos, love your stuff!!!
Much appreciated, glad to hear you like the videos!
This is my favorite channel to watch while doing the dishes, makes it more bearable
14:54 lol who's that guy in the top right?
No idea, I completely missed all those arrows in the picture. Don't ask me how :P
@@ThatGuyGlen lmao
I've watched a few videos of yours now, and great stuff! Subscribed! Please continue content on indie developers. Maybe do a video on Phil Fish, Fez.
Glad to hear you're enjoying the videos and thank you for subscribing! I'm not sure if I'll do one on Fez, since the Indie Game: The movie documentary told that story better than I ever could. I've got plenty of other videos in the works though!
Love these videos. I like how you dont choose games based on popularity, you always end up choosing some of the most interesting and fascinating game developement history.
Glad to hear you like them! Sometimes popularity is a factor, but yeah, if there’s no interesting story I wouldn’t cover it. Most of time there is an interesting story luckily :D
I remember 1.1, it felt like not many knew about Terraria, slowly though, in 1.2 I got a few friends into it and made a few friends that played Terraria, then suddenly 1.3 it felt like everyone knew Terraria, I feel like Terraria's rise was so gradual I just didn't notice it was so big when it was.
Probably my favourite game of all time.
Damn this is a well made video especially considering how small this UA-camr is. Can’t wait to see your channel grow
Thank you!
Awesome cover as always. You know, after watching this video, it just popped in my mind on what next cover you should do - The Binding Of Isaac.
Very soon its last DLC will be released, which is even bigger and considered size of a "sequel" (meaning very big dlc). Since last DLC is just around the corner, it would be a good time doing a cover, especially when the creator of the game is also doing (and did) interviews before the release.
Thank you! And that’s a good suggestion, that might just be my next video ;)
@@ThatGuyGlen Glad to hear! Take your time and have nice day!
Thanks, you too!
Ahhh yes is out
01:20
wow. i remember playing Super Mario Bros X as a kid. i got stuck on a level (for about a month) and quit.
POG A NEW UPLOAD WITH THIS MANS AMAZING VOICE AND STORYTELLING
how the hell your channel is just 58k subs ??!
you deserve much more for this awesome quality !
Thank you! Maybe people are more reluctant to subscribe because I have a limited number of videos on my channel. Takes me about a month to create video.
Terraria a year ago: yeah this is final update
Terraria half a year ago: no more update after this bug fixes
Terraria now: literally released a collaboration news with Don't Starve
Amazing video. Thank you for making this. Your video is great even with just audio
My pleasure, thank you for taking the time to watch it!
A few years later:
Hey guys, we've decided that the last update wasn't enough so here we have Expedition's Conclusion.
Fantastic video as allways ^^ could you do this with Katana Zero too?
Thank you! Katana Zero is on my list ;)
Thank you for covering my favorite game and the attention to detail is magnificent. New sub
My pleasure, thank you for subscribing!
Terraria to Andrew is like Pringles
*Just one more update*
Bloody legend
this is the most underrated masterpiece of a video,making terraria history soooo easy to learn and digest,simply wonderfull
Glad to hear you enjoyed it :D
Being apart of the terraria community cmsince the beginning, i can say the terraria fandom is much stronger than others. Such a cool community
I'm surprised that your channel has "only" 57k subscribers. Incredible content, loved it!
Thank you very much, glad you like it!
Can you also make a video about Edmund Mcmillen? Hem made the super meat boy and binding of isaac series. I definitely want to know more about such a unique person!
The Noclip channel already made an amazing video about Edmund Mcmillen's career so I don't think there's much I could contribute to the topic. I might cover his individual games though.
@@ThatGuyGlen Interesting....
This game is one of my favorites it's so good!
Your videos have such good quality, I watch them when I need to get motivation for game dev :)
Great work my dude.
Thank you very much! I’m happy to hear my videos can serve as motivation :D
This is such a cool slice of Terraria history! Thank you for sharing this! It's well presented, and informational!
My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it!
Idk if it’s totally done with updates or not, but I’m 90% sure they’re gonna release some surprise thing for the 10 year anniversary of the game
They did, they added a secret seed. Sadly, it’s the last update... or is it?
@@ARandomSpace Hehehe
@@videogamermega HEHEHRHEHHRRGG
“Why development suddenly stopped”
Do you realize what game you’re talking about?
exactly! Andrew is still updating to this day I believe
i still miss Otherworld.
hope they're able to bring it back.
all i want to know, who is this at 14:59 :D
Every major update to terraria just went and added good depth to the game, and sometimes put layers together for the players to just enjoy more and more. We can only hope that when they do finally decide it's time for a new creation upon to succeed terraria, they'll follow this into making something going just as amazing that grows more dynamically. They've already overcome a lot of terraria's old limitations along 1.3 and 1.4. But I can imagine how hard it could really be to come up with something that adds greater depth and options to a new game creation. Starbound already tried it, bringing a game with many worlds to build on and inhabit, but Pushed upon other harder limits to deal with and other issues. I could really imagine though that if they did come up with a true successor, they'd work together to make something outstanding too, after so many ups and down to experiment with. Maybe someday we'll see it, With a greater engine to power it, along with worlds that really seem to stretch out as far as the imagination.
This man could make a game where a man wearing 2 bunnies on his head can defeat an eldritch god with a blade made of rainbows and a cat head that shoots, well, rainbows and cat heads along with a blonde girl with a syringe sound so serious
So much content in a single game with a good progressive game play setting, I loved how I explored the world's and bosses for the first time and enjoyed getting almost every items in the game. I played with my little brother and sisters to help me with the bosses on consoles and they had a blast with the game as I played guiding them through the game. Definitely would own this game on any device but the PC version is one of the best experiences for it.
Man, I can't wait for the Google Stadia version of my favorite game, Terraria! :)
how the heck do you only have 60k subs? with this quality you deserve much more
Red: im done with this game now
Everyone:LETS GOOOOO TERRARIA 1.5
This was so well done as always! I really love the story behind this game. Terraria is an all time favorite of mine. Been playing it since it first came out and I would come back to it everytime a big update was released to replay the game from start. Not to mention all the awesome mods out! Great video Glen!!
Thank you, glad to hear you enjoyed it!
Wonder if they ever found out who leaked the early version, shouldn’t be hard in such a small studio.
That's how Among Us got made: someone in the team was a traitor and they spent years of development figuring out whodunnit.
@@mabe4322 And then they made a whole game out of it
The leaker was probably one of the beta testers.
@@Drakonus_ sus
@@Drakonus_ This is correct. It was one of the beta testers.
A banger job as always man, continue with the great content :D
Much appreciated, and will do! ;)
Thanks for making my day a tad bit more interesting!
My pleasure!
@@ThatGuyGlen You make anything interesting
Amazing video as usual! It's always interesting learning about how games were made that I've played before.
Thank you, glad you liked it!
6:40 You mentioned Fin Brice leaving, but no mention of Starbound? Starbound was announced by Fin in 2012 which seems to be around the same time he left. I thought Starbound was the sequel to Terraria for a long time.
This is a very well constructed video, you've earned my like!
From one game, they earned of the 10 years. 350 million dollars for development.
fantastic video! love the no bullshit and straight to the info. Cool visuals also
Much appreciated!
Terraria is a true work of love
Awesome video... Thanks for this, mate ❤
My pleasure, glad you liked it!
I always thought of Terraria as the game I played with my friends in middle and high school, not many people I've known have even heard of the game, much less owned it.
Re-Logic struck gold, and their continued development and decisions about the game launched it from an indie game that was forced to release early, to the 14th best-selling video game of ALL TIME. An indie studio releasing a game with 4 bosses and a pretty limited set of items earned 2 million dollars in the first week of it being on sale, all while they were hot-fixing the game from the beta stage it had to release in. Their continued support of their community is what sets them so far apart from the major studios, and they deserve all the success they've received, and more.
Can you believe it's a top 20 game? That's more sales than games like cod, csgo, legend of zelda, and a bunch of pokemon games.
