We don't know about you, but between the decorations, costumes, parties and more, it is just such a fun time of year. We hope that each of you gets a bit of time to indulge your spookier side and to maybe enjoy a handful of tricks or treats. Speaking of, we have a full candy pail of both to hand out for this month's State of the Game... so step right up, ring the doorbell, and let's see what horrific surprises await Terrarians everywhere!

Our good friends at Klei Entertainment have been hard at work in parallel with the team at Re-Logic in order to make both sides of this crossover worthy of the fanbases - and authentic to the gameplay - of each of these amazing titles. As you can tell from the above gifs, we are swapping terrifying foes. What else might be making the journey to DST and vice versa? Well... you will have to wait just a bit longer to find out. Stay vigilant, Terrarians, for life in The Constant can be quite harsh indeed!

[img]https://i.imgur.com/CicmbR2.png[/img] [h2][b]WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?[/b][/h2] We have a few Game Jams that are a bit on hold while we wrap up the collaboration with Don't Starve Together and the Steam Deck optimizations. The team is quite excited to delve back into these experiments soon! So, for now, we will have to just continue to ask for your patience and trust in our process as we continue our own journey towards whatever lies ahead.

The work with and on the tModLoader 1.4 Alpha on Steam continues (thanks for all your feedback and help thus far!) - you can click the link below to find out more. Again, please keep in mind that this Alpha is primarily intended for developers as an audience - so play around with it at your own risk! https://steamcommunity.com/app/1281930/discussions/0/3051733836205288319/ As always, you can keep track the current progress and such more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.) Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch.

Last time we checked in, we were just about to release Journey's End for Xbox and PlayStation. What a month it has been since then! Let's take a moment to check in on progress made on your feedback and bug reports - as well as a glimpse into what lies ahead! [h3][b]CONSOLE JOURNEY'S END FIXES & FEEDBACK[/b][/h3] [b]HOTFIX #1 - OCTOBER 1, 2021- Release v1.4.0.5.4.2[/b] [list] [*] [i]Fixed Syncing Files Bug[/i] [/list] [img]https://i.imgur.com/CicmbR2.png[/img] [b]HOTFIX #2 - OCTOBER 7, 2021 - Release v1.4.0.5.4.3, Build 759[/b] [list] [*] [i]Fixed autosave bug [*] Fixed the black screen sync bug [*] Fixed a crash when fighting Empress of Light [*] Fixed a crash after long play times [*] Fixed a crash in very old world saves [*] Fixed hotbar navigation affecting player movement [*] Fixed housing query controller bindings (Players will have to go into settings and rechoose from Classic, Advanced or Simplified again or bind the Housing Query setting) [*] Fixed research not consuming the held item stack [*] Fixed mouse conflicting in split screen pause menu [*] Fixed PS4 offscreen mouse cursor [*] Fixed PS4 trophy for Empress of Light [*] Added shoulder combo hint on screen [*] Added more controller bindings on screen [*] Added safe region settings in game [*] Added support for PS4 touchpad button[/i] [/list] [img]https://i.imgur.com/CicmbR2.png[/img] [b] HOTFIX #2 - OCTOBER 19, 2021 - Release v1.4.0.5.4.4, Build 765[/b] [list] [*] [i]"Classic" scheme has been changed to be the closest match Red's Pick from the Console 1.3 Era (though it retains the ability to remap/add all of the new functions available with 1.4) [*] D-Pad Cursor Snap feature from RL/PW can be achieved by binding dpad to Grid Snap [*] D-Pad Hotbar feature from RL/PW can be achieved by binding the four dpad directions to Dynamic Hotbar 1-4 [*] Grapple is now bound to B again, along with Interact- Interact may be bound to whatever button players have assigned for Secondary Fire or Grapple, but not any others in order to avoid numerous conflicts and edge case issues. [*] Fixed an issue where the system was wrongly capping the maximum number of worlds at 10, but the UI was not recognizing this cap. The world/map cap is now 30 as originally intended, and the UI will enforce this (no New button if you have 30 or more worlds) [*] Fixed an issue with not being able to add more offline players to splitscreen on PS4 [*] Fixed the mouse scroll wheel issues on PS4 and Xbox [*] Fixed lag spikes caused by the growth of Pumpkins [*] Fixed Player 2+ in split screen not being able to see the Traveling Merchant's wares [*] Fixed Thunderstorms in splitscreen causing blocks to become invisible [*] Fixed time being frozen in non-journey worlds when joining a MP session from the tutorial [*] Fixed the Angler's quests not being updated for Clients in a MP session [*] Fixed treasure bags only being dropped for one person in MP or Split screen [*] Fixed Dungeon Casters and other Projectile weapons' VFX not showing in the left hand side of the world [*] Fixed Geodes not being able to be thrown on the ground to open them[/i] [/list] Check out the evolved Dpad Hotbar and Dpad Snap on Consoles via the video below! [previewyoutube=JOeXQ_-qcvg;full][/previewyoutube] The team is feeling pretty good about the state of things after the patch from last week, but we know a handful of bugs and issues are still wandering out there in the wild. We have most of these documented (again, the best way to make sure your issue is seen is to file a Bug Report in the TCF Bug Section by pressing the button below!) [url='https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?forums/console-bug-reports.138/'][img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//3949769/2d95d3e789645a46f7b1e3ebe229bb627c154cf1.png[/img][/url] [img]https://i.imgur.com/CicmbR2.png[/img] [b][h2]NINTENDO SWITCH[/h2][/b] In parallel, the team at DR is hard at work on the nuances required to get Terraria: Journey's End out on Nintendo Switch. The good news behind the scenes is that all of the fixes we just implemented for Xbox and PlayStation will be there on day one for Switch players - definitely a win-win there for everyone! Of course, we are sure you want to take a glimpse at what might be going on right? Well... here's a few snaps from recent testing - Moon Lord dying, his Bestiary Entry, and a bit of touch mining. (Before anyone asks, I like to play with as much space as possible, so I shunk/zoomed my UI pretty small - but this is all adjustable) [img]https://i.imgur.com/JAxaVJo.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/8ZOqfbb.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/ZlAID8E.png[/img] In terms of timing, we are starting to hone in on what things will look like. We are confident in that the game will be submitted to Nintendo this year. When or not we see a launch to players will really come down to the results of that submission process - amidst the complications of the impending Holidays. We want to be sure to get it out as quickly as possible to players, but also in a timeline that allows us to be able to quickly respond to any launch issues, as we did with Xbox and PlayStation. We expect to be able to share more detail on this very soon - but as always, we want to be 100% certain of things before giving dates. Stay tuned!

Mobile Terrarians, we are growing ever-closer to a return to development - this time, alongside our Console friends! The team is eagerly anticipating jumping headlong into bringing content parity to all platforms in the new year, we just need to get Switch out and stable first. Not much longer now! We have also been made aware of some issues impacting some players in regards to Android 11. The team will be looking into this shortly, and we will get any needed fixes out just as soon as possible!

To be clear, this is a very high-end piece that is intended for the hardcore Terraria fan - and may not be for everyone. That said, our good friends at AGS have done what they can to enhance the affordability via an array of interest-free payment plans that spread out the cost over time.
