This definately looks interesting. The main focus seems to be combat & exploration (there are huge boss monsters like in Castlevania) but you can still build your own 2D castles and collect resources if you want. There's also multiplayer support so you can do stuff together with at least 4 other guys.

Cirruss · Apr 25, 2011

Saw the trailer for this yesterday, it looks fantastic imo.

I especially love that it actually has decent water physics. Also love that there just seems to be so much stuff in the game already, looks like there are loads of different items to find and make, a variety of different enemies and boss fights aswell.

Azriell · Apr 25, 2011

I really like that art style, and bosses and such would be good. However, I have to imagine that, after playing Minecraft for so many hours, that building 2D structures wouldn't be nearly as rewarding or interesting as what's offered in Minecraft.

The Mana Legend · Apr 25, 2011

I like it! Doubt I'll play it though.

Mikey Jr. · Apr 25, 2011

That black fog flickering looks fucking annoying as hell. Holy shit.

Ranger X · Apr 25, 2011

I will totally play this if there's a full fledged single player mode.

Stumpokapow · Apr 25, 2011

If this works, it'll be my GOTY.

strata8 · Apr 25, 2011

That looked amazing. The most impressive part for me was the player-created town with the NPCs.

Quixzlizx · Apr 25, 2011

The boss fights look pretty awesome. I hope it turns out well.

Nemo · Apr 25, 2011

Very interested in this!

strata8 · Apr 25, 2011

Wait, never mind.

How long has Terraria been in development?
Development started for Terraria in January, 2011

WTFFFFFFFFFFF

maniac-kun · Apr 25, 2011

Looks great but the only thing that looks out of place is that sword attack / mining animation.

Ahoi-Brause · Apr 25, 2011

Do want.
Needs more destructible enviroment though... the fight scenes at the end have the terrain unaffected from battle damage.

joelseph · Apr 25, 2011

Looks very interesting, would be so baller on iOS. The swinging animation is weird for me.

sixteen-bit · Apr 25, 2011

looks neat

That's one of my favorite parts. It gives the game a certain charm to it.. Although all the other particle effects from other weapons and attacks get a bit too distracting.

TheExecutive · Apr 25, 2011

Huh... consider me interested.

mclaren777 · Apr 25, 2011

That looks far more compelling than Minecraft. Thanks for sharing!

Caesar III · Apr 25, 2011

Looks a lot like Clonk. I'm not sure if I like the new features though.

Brazil · Apr 25, 2011

This could be good.

Noogy · Apr 25, 2011

I think that looks absolutely beautiful.

ShaneB · Apr 25, 2011

Wow this looks incredible, thanks for posting this. Definitely will check this out.

IndieJones · Apr 25, 2011

Yes! I feel more a Clonk vibe than Minecraft.

Also, don't forget this is by the same guy who made Super Mario Bros. X.

Davidion · Apr 25, 2011

Would enjoy, imo

BetterThanNothing · Apr 25, 2011

Pretty awesome. I was waiting for someone to create a 2d minecraft. There was that 2d version of dwarf fortress, but this game definitely seems to be taking a much different direction.

Anyone else notice how the player models are basically a certain Nintendo FF character?(I honestly can't pin which one, just reminds me of that style).

Pinko Marx · Apr 25, 2011

This looks better than Minecraft, IMO. Larger variety of enemies, NPCs without the use of mods, more weapons, bosses.
Will be even more awesome if the mod community grabs ahold of it.

The main character in this game basically looks like Halloween Harry with a yellow hat instead of blue.

aronnov reborn · Apr 25, 2011

has me very interested.

YYZ · Apr 25, 2011

*Looking for the like button*

Awakened · Apr 25, 2011

A LP of the alpha with the developer is being released part by part on this youtube channel if you want more gameplay footage. Watching those, I really wish Minecraft would add the feature of holding a torch to light the area around you.

They're edited fighter sprites, I think.

Ive been doing that on neogaf as of late. =[

Mejilan · Apr 25, 2011

Looks insane, chaotic, and amazing.

Trurl · Apr 25, 2011

Everything looks amazing but the black fog. My attitude might change once I've played it, but I think the terrain should be fully lit with a sharply contrasting black void for areas not yet explored.

A "fog of war" could be ok if it were handled like in Civilization. As it is the levels of visibility are too many and shift too quickly.

Otherwise it looks amazing. All the more reason I want the lighting to not be ugly.

Vinci · Apr 25, 2011

Getting it. That trailer was awesome.

WanderingWind · Apr 25, 2011

Looks nifty. I'm a bit burned out on Minecraft right now anyway.

Adnor · Apr 25, 2011

Looks amazing!

But is that... Bartz sprite from Final Fantasy V??

Haha, yes. Many sprite traces in the art.

you should indeed check out clonk:

Vandiger · Apr 25, 2011

Minecraft in 2D, already sold.

out0v0rder · Apr 25, 2011

this looks much more interesting that stupid minecraft game and has better graphics and sound and no achievema-trophies.

Atomski · Apr 25, 2011

Muy interesante!

Looks cool.. could be have some better animations but I will surely be checking it out. Its so strange no one has thought of this before.

genjiZERO · Apr 25, 2011

looks pretty ill. Not sure about the arching attack mechanism, but I'd give it a try. Love the chip tune

MThanded · Apr 25, 2011

woah looks cool. I dont even like or care about minecraft but I could get into this.

Freyjadour · Apr 25, 2011

Looks neat. I'm more interested in the Metroidvania aspect than the Minecraft aspect.

Doesn't look like it will be out for a long while anyhow, judging from the development start date. Lot of work done in a short amount of time though.

Wow, looks like Minecraft and Metroid had a baby. Looks great. I love the hectic-ness of the battles in that trailer.

The multiplayer looks great but I'd more more interested in this game for single player. What he said:

Yeah, I got a FF vibe from the characters as well. The sword swinging animation looks like something I've seen back in the SNES/NES days as well. (Not hating on it or anything)

g.r.e. · Apr 25, 2011

The main character's sprite reminds me of the ones from the older Final Fantasies.
http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/it/images/b/bc/Finalfantasy5_jobs_mastered.png

Still very interested in the project, though.

Bossman · Apr 26, 2011

They released a new Let's Play video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijDQ7in4Sz4

This one shows some digging action.

I was wondering why they used the very same sprite actually...on closer inspection it's actually the animation that throw me off...

Grinchy · Apr 26, 2011

I have to give this guy more money? Can't wait!

The gameplay video looks pretty cool.

ArtistDude88 · Apr 26, 2011

Looks very entertaining! Though I'm getting burnt out on the whole "lolol indie game retro-8bit-nostalgic" graphic style.
