How Terraria Was Made and Why Development Suddenly Stopped

This Terraria documentary details the development of the indie game Terraria and goes behind the scenes of its creation. Discover more about how Andrew “Redigit” Spinks got the idea for the popular sandbox game and started his own indie studio Re-Logic, to begin development on Terraria. The documentary also explores all the design decisions that Andrew and his team made and how Terraria was inspired by some of Andrew’s favorite games.
It also takes a close look at all the hurdles Re-Logic had to go through during Terraria’s 9-year long development cycle. There were actually multiple moments during its development that could have caused a premature end to Terraria’s decade long journey. Furthermore, it delves into other Re-Logic projects like Terraria 2 and Terraria: Otherworld and what exactly happened to them over the years. Lastly, the documentary explores Terraria’s legacy and how Re-Logic handed the keys to the community after they released the last major update titled “Journey’s End”.

Terraria feels like it's been perpetually stuck in a world of "just one more update", and I for one am not complaining.

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!

Terraria and Re-Logic are the prime example on what makes a great game and a healthy community... They deserve all the love and respect :')

[@Minnan1]

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.

[@couragethecheems5877]

Ahhh yes the game that goes wholesome to satanic after 5 minutes of gameplay.
