Jeez, you’re going to take 151 days to explain how Terraria was made?
It’s gonna be a long and hard endeavor, but we can get through this together!
I’m down for a 151 day crash course on terraria history
cant believe its gonna take that long!

As one of those twenty lucky beta testers, this was a great trip down memory lane. Thanks, Chippy!
A few little things I recall from those days include suggesting a section of the trailer where the player uses the Ivy Whip to travel up a corruption chasm. I thought it would be a super cool scene to include.
Speaking of Grappling Hook stuff, have you ever hooked to a door and opened it and shot forward? Early on, doing that would send you astronomically far. I think it might have even crashed your game, though I'm not sure on that detail.
I remember Redigit showing off the Rocket Boots for the first time... except our games weren't updated so it looked super glitchy, lol.
I also recall Redigit asking me if I had any name ideas for the "eye boss". I couldn't think of anything though, so I'm not sure when Cthulhu came into the picture.
Also, shoutouts to Red Yoshi, who was a sprite artist early on who is a bit forgotten, I feel. He was responsible for enemy designs such as Skeletron.
To this day, I still don't know who griefed my pirate ship on the beta server, lol. It would be cool if Redigit decided to release those worlds someday! There were about ten or so in total before release. We'd get a new one every time there was some significant world generation additions.
i think you're thinking of when your cursor is pixel perfect dead center to your character, shooting your grappling hook then would crash your game
wait, you can't do that grappling hook door trick anymore? I haven't done it in a while but I used to as a "boost"
Even if the version on release is almost nothing like what we have today it's still amazing Red got that much done in such a short time
I'm a programmer who has made a game by myself. no fuckin idea how red did that much in that short a span of time
ALLAY
Cocaine and bitches.@@Mugenri
This is literally why I love this game. Played it from the day it was released, to yesterday actually! And I never knew that the guide's name was the same name as the creator! 😂
fun fact, the shimmer variant of the guide (in 1.4.4) is meant to look like Andrew!
WHAAAAAAATTT??? I'm deeply astonished-!
He also drops a green hat when he's named Andrew. And when the Steampunker's named Whitney, (Red's wife,) she drops a guitar.
@@ChippyGamingdo you have the spiffs plush
@@ChippyGamingand if you don’t want it
I can't even imagine the stress that Red had to go through when somebody leaked the "shitty" version of terraria before it came out
that kind of thing can easily destroy your entire game because first impressions are incredibly important and a lot of people would have no idea that it was just a very early version of the game and not what was supposed to release
but rather than crumbling under the stress, the man overcame all obstacles and managed to release one of the best games ever made
huge props to him
That guy was a massive a hole
What’s your earliest memory of Terraria?
my first memory was on mobile in like 2012, and i remember trying to get the night's edge and it took me like a week irl lmao
I remember being in space so scared of harpies that I built myself in a box to avoid them lmao
First time I saw my mate playing it on his ipad I thought it was Mario but began to love it (2013 might have been earlier)
I could tell
I saw my high school best friend playing it on the tablet back in 2012-14 (not sure exactly) and I decided I had to get it myself. Bought it for PC, played it for about 17 hours straight, then decided it was too addicting for me to keep playing. Wasn't until 2018 that I finally tried it again, with the same result. All this time, I had never played it multiplayer. In 2019 my younger brother got into it and he got me to play multiplayer with him. I got way into it both multiplayer and single player and now of all of my steam games I've logged more hours in Terraria than any other by a factor of five.
I actually had no idea what Terraria was before I played it... then one day, my friend's brother, who I NEVER really talked to, just gifted me the game out of the blue. I was like, ok, what the heck, I tried it out. I don't think I even checked out the trailer or anything... I was just happy with a free game! And then I fell in love... this game has been with me through all these years. I've made so many memories and it's one of my ultimate comfort games. I played it with friends, I played it solo, I played it after a bad break up, I try to introduce it to friends constantly, and I just recently picked it up again!!! I will never get tired of the game and I love ReLogic so much for all the hard work and love they put into this gem.
It’s been 12 years. From 1.0 to 1.4.5, the actual final update this time. Terraria has so much content and replay ability. Thank you, Relogic!
You forgot to put quotes around the "final"
@@DarkWolf65865 I think it actually is the final update. besides some bug fixes
@@dailthegoat799 I dont lmao. They might stop for a bit again as they have done that before but I think they will eventually update it again.
@@dailthegoat799 the past like 10 updates have been terraria's "final update", I'm having doubts
They’ve emphasised on Twitter this time that they actually want to move on now. I believe that it’s genuinely the final one sadly.
It makes sense, the majority of all content in terraria was added after the first release.
Im so glad that this game is this far, and its not gonna stop anytime soon!
I wonder what more it could’ve been if the game didn’t leak early.
I believe not much would change
@@hellandrubysame
Would never have been released and we would get 1.4.5 as 1.0
i think i remember red saying that 1.0.4 was how the game was supposed to be on release
@@hellandruby probably the exact same
I never realized just how popular Terraria was, and still is. I always thought it was a niche game with a small fanbase, but after hearing Relogic sold half a million copies in the first couple of months of it being released, I now realize just how wrong I was.
Over 45 Million now too!
It is the 10th best selling game of all time currently. But even knowing that I still agree, it doesn't feel like it. Maybe it's because of how much love and passion the devs have compared to other large games.
I just can't believe how re-logic has almost became a big name amongst game companies, yet still they have just one game, just imagine what terraria 2 will bring to the table!
Pixel Piracy...
@@oicutleldeyovzecuhpwe Which then got ruined because someone in the studio behind the game itself (If I recall correctly, Relogic did help with publishing but not the main development) had given out a lot of Steam CD Key Codes for it which bankrupted the studio.
I love the terraria music so much, im so glad scott worked on it
blew my mind learning each track only took 2-3 days
The bit where you said "still getting worked on today" made this pop into my head.
"Never ask:
a woman her age,
a man his salary,
Relogic about the final Terraria Update"
I remember like 5 or 6 years ago I had terraria mobile 1.2 and I played it ALL THE TIME. I got the enchanted sword pretty early on and I distinctly remember using molten armour with a rain coat and wizard hat in the vanity slot. I was pretty young and didn't really understand progression, so even after getting into hardmode and getting a chlorophyte claymore and partisan (it was mobile, I got a drax from shadow chests) I still used the enchanted sword as my main weapon. Even after hours of playing and tens of worlds made, I was only able to get into hardmode on one world. The furthest I ever got was post mechs. Now I have 2k hours and have beaten the moon lord more times than I can count. Oh how times change xD
I remember the pre hardmode drax
Imagine being an entire company with the budget of spaceX making a game just to have moderate success just to be outperformed by a single man with passion. absolutely wild :D
Shows how passion is key, and how little of it there is in today's world
@@sidr8920 For every success you see there are a thousand failures you don't see. These big companies play it safe by making something they know will make at least a moderate amount of money. It's sustainable, but the end products lack soul. This is one of the reasons Nintendo is still doing fairly well, as they're willing to take a few more risks and have the capital to survive through a bad season.
But yes, I can imagine how much these AAA companies probably seethe over things like Terraria. What's funny is that they could probably fund so many indie projects instead that at least a few would succeed and be big hits.
even in a short time and crazy development its still a masterpiece of a game B)
Discovered Terraria through Stampy's playthrough of it, and that's when I immediately knew I MUST have this game.
I still remember when I first played Terraria. I first joined the community with the Xbox360 version of terraria. I gained such good memories, and Terraria forever became my favorite game ever. It holds a special place in my childhood
Terraria was the first game I bought on steam, My Friends and I had a Lan Party and we all played it together in the basement at my moms. lugging our CRT monitors and Towers down to my cramped bedroom to all enjoy the wonders of this game together. I just want to say Thanks to Re-Logic and the Team behind Terraria for all the years of love and support they have given this game, and giving us all a wonderful place to enjoy and create memories with friends over the many years since its release. Thank you.
This whole story is just wild
I wonder how Terraria 2's development will go. I hope smoothly and will be just as timeless as the first!
Dang, I didn't even know the release trailer came out on my birthday until now! Cool!
Of course, back in 2011, I was like 6 years old.
Terraria trailer receiving over half a million views in just less than 2 weeks was crazy for its date since it was 2011
I remember getting whiplash at how popular Terraria became in the span of like a week
Always great to here from you
Much appreciated
I remember the first time I was introduced to Terraria. My cousin was at my house and he had a PSVita and played Terraria on it. I loved the game so sometimes when he wasn't there I would kind of steal his PSVita and play Terraria. That was until I was finally able to get the game on the PS4. I played it a lot until I got a laptop and started playing Terraria there and now it's one of my favourite games of all time.
One of your best videos!!! Thanks for this
thank you!!
Its very bittersweet that your still around I have been watching you since 2017 keep up the work man
That is beyond impressive. This is a testament to the truth that is if you dedicate yourself to some, even for a short period of time, the payoff can be immense. This is as admirable and respectable as it is impressive.
Something* or some project
This is motivational and inspiring
I was only 6 when the game came out so I missed out on the early versions, I started playing in 1.3, I remember vividly how I got into the game which is crazy considering I think I was in 6th or 7th grade at the time. One of my friends named ben was talking about it at our lunch table and he said that he beat the WOF the day before, I was super curious so he showed me a bit of a youtube video from you, It got me so hooked on the game that its 5-6 years later and I cant stop playing this game, It is an absolute masterpiece and that is saying something given how now many retro style games can pull off a 10/10 rating, but it 100% deserves it and more! (I went back to your 5-6 year old video to see if I could find it and I DID!, it is the "Top 5 Hardmode Weapon Swords in Terraria" Video, I remember hearing "Sword projectiles", and then seeing the terrablade and the true nights edge and just being in awe). Thank you for being my introduction to this game from the bottom of my heart, it is my comfort game and It helps me through some really rough times
The fact I started when I was 4 (kinda early 1.2)
Lovely video, was like a perfectly balanced cake.
That ending has happened to too many people(including myself) many times, why is it that the first 7,900 health or majority of a bosses health can go just fine and the death at the end-no other feeling like it :).
I love everyone at relogic but as a audiophile I have my bias towards music composer, I LOVE YOUR WORK MAN! You completed Terraria in nailing my playthrough! And I love your mindset too! God bless ya soul.
I can’t believe I’ve been subbed to you for years and never knew your couch was in game lmao❤❤❤❤❤
Maybe the secret thing that you mentioned in ur new video about 1.4.5 was adding the ability to officially play older versions of the game. It would be so cool to play 1.0.1 again or even the beta versions
I had no idea Terraria was right behind Pokemon red/blue/green/yellow in sales... That's CRAZY.
It's genuinely one of the best games of all time imo, coming from such a humble team too, I'm incredibly proud and happy they got their recognition.
the only true terraria speedrun: terraria development%
thank you ofr giving me a relogic history lesson it was intresting
crazy how this was js posted 7 hours ago and my friend been telling me to get it for years now , so i started researching it all i searched was terraria and this popped up i knew of it but never played it
Incredible to think how quickly it was put together, and how much it has grown since then
Happy birthday terraria!
Jeremy, aka Blue! Really bring me back some memories when they were showcasing the game on youtube and I bought the game right then as soon as I had the money hahahaha
i havent been playing terraria for that long maybe like a year. yet it feels like ive been playing since forever
I think I started playing the game on 2011 since I have a recorded review on steam. I experienced all the improvements and cool releases. Recently got the game on ps5 😅 Playing it again. Also got the game on mobile! And I have my old worlds still on PC. Definitely a masterpiece I always come back to play this.
How chippy's channel was evolved over, like, 9 years.
damn the creators of terraria had some insane talent to basically make the game twice as big than the leaked version in 151 days, really showed that guy who leaked it who's boss
the old trailers are so nostalgic for me lol. go back to revisit them at least once a year
I'm back. I had to go and watch Redigits playthrough. Go on, Chippy.
Honestly as a beginner game dev this is super inspiring, I hope someday I can create games as cool as this
This is a certified chippy video
Hey Chippy, have you ever considered trying out master mode hard-core again? I know it can be really frustrating when you die, but it can really hone your terraria skills if you just start up a new run after dying. You can get back into the swing of things without having to dwell on your death, and if you feel like you're ramming your head against a wall, dying over and over again, just take a break and come back when you're ready.
I think it's time one of the greatest terraria youtubers beat hardcore
If this game was all developed as fast as 1.0 imagine how it would be now
i started when it launched on wii u, i knew about it for a while but couldn't play it until the wii u version. Played a full playthrough (up until golem) with my little sister, it was awesome! We eventually maxed out our characters including hacked items like red's wings (infinite flight at the time) and the SDMG. Great memories, have played a lot since then. I remember 1.3 console launch coming out and being so sad when it wasn't on wii u :')
Awesome video!
Love terraria, its one of the best games ever!
For some reason I was always a big minecraft kid. I played minecraft from 2010 or something. I saw Terraria pop up here and there on youtube in like 2012 and 2013 but I always felt weird about it. And I loved minecraft. I also had a somewhat bad computer so I played minecraft with like 20 fps haha. Fast foreward 10 years later. I am bored, I looked up Terraria and I thought you know what I am going to buy it. (I am also now a lot older and I have really good computer) I loved it from the start and I kinda wishes I picked up this game in like 2013 or 2014 because its great... I think my love for minecraft has made it where I never got around to playing Terraria. I think I have over 10k hours in minecraft (no joke, I played a LOT of servers and I have on a server (wynncraft) already like 5k hours total, you can see your total login time on the forums)
Cutrently I am sort of bured out from minecraft for the past couple of years Terraria is a really good change of pace because it plays very different (even tho I played a of minecraft servers and rarely vanilla)
Its amazing what coding knowledge and a bit of dedication can make
7:30 did skeletron used to not have arms add to the defense?
Its so crazy! Like, how do you come up with this, terraria? How do they think of a boss that would be like the Eye of Cuthulu. It's so insane to think about. I hope we could get to fight cuthulu.
redigit posted this on underground pirated gaming forum to promoted this game. since then that thread grow massively, and everyone wants to pay for it to make it on steam. thats how it started. still remember beating skeleton and give feedback to him directly.
do you have a link to thta? would love to learn more aha
Good job in the terraria battl royal, just watched siphos video
Great video
I've enjoyed every minute of my 3056 hours in Terraria.
I hope doing well chippy !
that final scene with queen bee made me have a ptsd flashback
Damn the devs are speed
I remember getting a hold of an alpha copy after coming across a youtube let's play, god does the time fly fast
I had no idea they made smbx before Terraria. As a massive Mario fan and Terraria fan that makes me happy.
paperbat pg was my childhood dude, my childhooood
My first memory of the game was seeing my friend play it on his phone, and i immediately fell in love with it. 😀
Its amazing what could be done with a solid foundation.
Once that basic 2D foundation was made, they could just quickly add everything in and refine it.
What a time it’s been
Just out of sheer curiosity, did you kill the queen bee at the end?
I went back for revenge
On the first day, Redigit created a hardcore character on Master Mode.
On the second day, Redigit beat many bosses.
And on the third day, Redigit got hit by a boulder.
I remember when Skeletron was the biggest baddie I had to contend with and a good ol' water bolt was my best friend.
I wish they’d add a bit of dialogue to the merchant where he just says “WELCOOMEEE!” to reference everyone’s favourite obscure merchant…other than terraria’s merchant
Still being worked on ? That's a little overstatement.
is there a place where you can find more information about the past and the making of terraria?
I would've played this game a lot sooner, but I could hardly underatand english at the time. I remember I would see people post about it in knuckles96's forums (I think that was the name) while I only played SMBX.
Pbat is the reason I found out about Terraira.
Oh my god paper bat!I miss that dude
I actually started playing terraria mobile before pre 1.3 mobile I didn't even get into hardmode. Until 1.3
Shame it was the leak that forced the plan change like that. I still have it downloaded, still loads up to the old classic menu, but nothing else.
Time certainly flies....
I first played Terraria in 2013 on xbox 360... lol. So long ago
very interesting..
That’s the same number of Kanto Pokemon I’m gonna have to stretch
Then there’s me has been working on a game for two years and haven’t even started coding.
Your telling me It took 151 days to get to 1.4.4 damn thats fast how did that happen
Huh, I always figured the Redigits nickname, Red, came from Andrew, since the middle 3 letters made up that word, but I never knew there was a Blue...
I wonder if there will be ever be a sequel or spin off
*151 gotta catch em all?*
Você é um dos criadores
my goal of collecting every single item in this game is still going :sob:
Going to the ocean and killing a bunch of sharks and orcas with the spear you get from ice queen
We've come a long way from those early days to now, with the final update almost here. Definitely no more of them coming in the future!
TERRARIA IS THE 10TH BEST SELLING GAME??????? WHAT??????
EXACTLY, I THOUGHT IT WAS UNDERRATED ALL MY LIFE
Yep! Over 45 Million copies sold now
I keep seeing that number everywhere
last year when my friend had no friends to play terraria so he bought me terraria out of no where and got me to play with him,
I bought eleven copies myself. One on GOG, not knowing, what is it really. With my wife, we realized, that we can play both on one copy and had a blast. Then we bought steam copy, one each. And then we bought eight copies to get our friends to play with us. No one really did, but well, it was worth it. Love the game.
the fact that someone seriously had to leak an early version of terraria though, like cmon, it's a small team! I guess in the very least they made red release it sooner?
I didn't know that minecraft and terraria technically respected each other from the start
What's insane is when you look at the list of the best selling games of all time and realize that a good number of them had 3-5 month dev cycles (granted some of the newer short dev cycle games changed a lot over later patches, so it's almost cheating). Though honestly the long (3 to 5 yr average, 10 for longer/delayed games) dev cycles are a fairly recent thing, I remember when the original half-life was in dev for 2 years and we all called it stuck in development hell for that! Some indie games like terraria were just scoped well and were in a releasable state on what would have been a fairly normal dev cycle in the past!. Shows solid vision and good planning.
