This is what I was referring to in regards leaving money on the table.
#RE LOGIC TERRARIA 2 UPDATE#
"To give a small example, we could have charged some very small amount for the massive 1.3 update - let's say a dollar or less - and would have likely made several million dollars without much community blowback. "We have had discussions around this topic in a variety of ways over the years," Andrew adds.
That's not to say that the Re-Logic team hasn't considered charging for updates. That would be our reputation and the unwavering good will that we have built with our amazing fans." Terraria costs $9.99 and nothing more Re-Logic president Andrew Spinks adds: "In all honesty, as successful as Terraria has been, it isn't even what we consider to be the most valuable asset that Re-Logic has. We support them by adding to the game that they love to play, and they support us by spreading the word, sometimes buying more than one copy, showcasing more amazing potential in the game with the content that they create, and just by being awesome." Perhaps it would be different if our fans weren't as supportive of us as they consistently are. "That said, we wouldn't have it any other way. It more than likely leaves money on the table, as many players would gladly pay, especially for larger updates. "Some updates produce more new players than others, and it is often hard to tell what will happen with any given update. "Giving those updates away was a bit risky without a doubt," admits Re-Logic VP Whitney Spinks Developer Re-Logic didn't charge anything for these updates. Six years of updates later, and Terraria now has 3,800 items, 25 NPCs, 350 enemies, 16 bosses, a new ending, new areas, an expert mode and a load more nice extras. Players could get all of that for the reasonable sum of $9.99. How cool would it be for there to be a craftable flail made of Hallowed Bars and Souls of Night + Might called The Megatron? It weould be inspried by the flail used by megatron in the Transformers (2007), would be able to go through walls to an extent (up to four or five blocks) and would have the tooltip: "Oh, so unwise.When sandbox game Terraria first launched in May 2011, it had 250 items, a handful of playable characters and bosses, and a few nice extras. Speaking of granite, you wouldn't mind adding sphlarelite as a material that has a chance of dropping from Granite enemies, that can be combined with 9 copper ore to create 3 bars of brass? Which could be used to make meteorite swords and bows?Īre you going to make Thorn's Potions craftable on Crimson Worlds? You wouldn't mind making biome specific lighting sources and building pieces, like sandstone fireplace and chimney, and a sandstone fireplace, and the option to have one lit up with biome specific torches that would contribute to torch luck, right? A mudstone brick fireplace sounds pretty nice!Īre you willing to add in "the sling" as a weapon, one that would fire sling stones or even specifically crafted "sling bullets" to fire at enemies? I think it'd be a really useful application of granite. Hey, I saw your thing about biome torches, and I think they're really cool! However, I think it would be even better implemented if the idea were extended even further, into furniture! That's it - now let the interrogation commence! External link → and feel like answering after the fact, we might pull a few into a future post (State of the Game and the like). If we miss anything due to running out of time, etc. Keep in mind that some topics (or the answers to some topics) might be sensitive/covered by NDAs/etc., so understand that we cannot promise that we can answer everything. We will attempt to answer all of the questions that we can get to in the time allotted. The team will answer questions for two hours, starting at 10am Pacific Time and ending at 12pm Pacific Time. The entire Re-Logic team will be here answering your questions, so please try to be clear if a question is for the team as a whole or for a specific person. Your passionate support over this last decade has fueled our creativity and allowed us to continue to do things our way.Īs we look towards the second decade of Terraria as well as the future of our studio, we figured what better time than now to let all of you ask the burning questions that you have on your minds?! Thanks for all of your very kind words sent in celebration of Terraria turning 10 years old! This is a very humbling experience for all of us at Re-Logic.
