The Full Story of Terraria's Development

Ойындар

Why did Relogic make Terraria? How'd they do it in less than 6 months? What did early development look like? Every question answered! I owe so many friendships to this game, and the fandom is still growing.

    One thing I want to add (2:23): While Microsoft XNA was abandoned, there are two main projects that continued to develop it, FNA and MonoGame. Terraria uses FNA, and Stardew Valley uses MonoGame. There's little difference between the three, and I've used MonoGame before, and would recommend it to C# devs who want to make games from the ground up (there's also MonoGame.Extended, which is super helpful in some situations).

    Hii! First off, the video is great! The editing, sound and picture quality are really good and it honestly inspires me to make videos myself about topics I'm interested in. That aside though, to answer your question about other indie games whose stories of development could be interesting, here's a few I would personally be very interested in, should you still want any other examples/idea's: Rain World Blasphemous Hollow knight (though you did mention that one yourself) Milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk Slay the spire Shattered pixel dungeon (great rogue like mobile game that's still in development) Carrion Neon white In any case, good luck with developing your own game and the channel, I hope I'll be seeing your channel in my feed with trending vids in the next couple of months/years :)

    As always great video! Love hearing about the coding side of things and getting that perspective on the games development as it's not something I often hear about in game origin stories (despite it being like...a kind of big part of making games).

    Your code example isn't optimization, optimization is all about making the code more performant. Your example is more like refactoring the code to more readable which is important for sure. For personal development I use google docs for tasks, its great for small teams. Trello is a nice mid team product, and jira is good for enterprise. Jira eats a lot of time to manage so you don't want to use it until you need it. Your videos are great btw
