what about Terraria?

makes you think.
/thread
They're saying it won't be exclusive to Epic. There are games that release on both Epic, Steam and GOG (like Vampire 2).
how many boatloads of cash would you have to give to Re-Logic to go exclusive anyway? Terraria sold like 30 million copies, they aren't hurting for money.
>Terraria devs
>What games are they even making
Uuuuh, Terraria?
>all the desperate indie devs come out of the woodwork and bitch at re-logic
>B-BUT YOU'RE ALREADY SUCCESSFUL
My fucking sides.
Pretty based honestly. The more shit devs get rightfully shit on the better.
>Literal repost thread
Just die
The only creatures pushing the narrative that epic store was good were in fact trannies, who got BTFO when Epic said they don't want their indie turds shitting up their store. So basically the trannies have no more outlets to run to except itch.io which nobody even uses
They have one game to sell, and clearly tried to sell it to literally any platform for anyone to play
Epic Game store would be a hard-lock against them being able to do this
who doesnt have terraria on steam at this point
>They have one game to sell
due to incompetence they most likely wasted millions of dollars paying for the retards working on the terraria successor that got shelved.
why not just release the source code for this?
Neither is 2k but here we are
Why would they do that?
They have point, re logic sound like cunts. They big famous indie gaming, have option not go on epic and being fined. Poor small gaming not have choice because steam fffuck gaming market.
Fuck steam glad epic is compete with monopoly.
>fffuck
>boards.fireden.net
What did he mean by this Yea Forums?
>wasted countless money on a shit game that was fundamentally broken
>gave up on trying to rewrite the entire game because the money was already gone
why not give it to people who actually care and have to skills
Yeah but that's an AAA publisher with way more expenses to cover. Re-Logic are 13 people
Are you 12? It doesn't make any business sense to release an unfinished concept, especially given that there are undoubtedly countless features and things we don't know about which will likely be recycled for Terraria 2.
Nah, they don't. Taking exclusivity deals is in fact selling out, no matter the circumstances
Steam didn't fuck the indie market.
The thousands of idiots all making their shovelware indie games while all feeling they deserve to be special fucked it over, ironically without Steam they wouldn't even have a place that would be willing to sell their shit.
The good games still make it.
This is painful to read. You sound like a kid who's throwing a tantrum.
They fixed the indie market.
Now every indie dev is forced to go through a trial by fire, culling the weak.
>Poor small gaming not have choice because steam fffuck gaming market
Small indie developers have plenty of choices, EGS ironically isn't one of them. Epic is claiming to be a champion for big publishers and only the top-tier indies who could be successful anywhere. They don't want and even openly mock small time indie dev "shovelware."
>Re-logic simply says they won't partake in exclusivity deals, and they want everyone to enjoy their games
>hack devs: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
tienamen square massacre btw
The only problem with what they said is that whenever they end up releasing Terraria 2, this tweet will inevitably be compared against whatever success it has or doesn't have.
>Terraria 2
yea keep dreaming retard
I doubt Epic would let it on their store after this
So when is 1.6 update dropping? Never?
Epic will have gone back to just being a Fortnite launcher by the time Terraria 2 comes out
You're retarded if you think they're not making a sequel to a massively successful game.
Gamedev doesn't work that way anymore. Everyone can download unity and recreate what otherworld had and then improve upon it or just make a better game from the start.
>Let's just freely release our IP in an undoubtedly broken and severely incomplete state which is guaranteed to damage our reputation because some user on Yea Forums is convinced we'll never make a sequel
Spotted the 3rd world bugman
next update when?
true, here's a dragon quest builder clone
store.steampowered.com
FREE TIBET FREE TIBET FREE TIBET
If anyone had the initiative to do that, they could just make their own clone or even modify the base Terraria to include the features we knew Otherworld was going to have.
>The time and effort in creating a game with an engine is trivial
Dumb thotposter
Reminder that re-logic is confirmed to appear this year's e3. They've got to have something significant to show for it.
Nobody cares about source code releases anymore other than linux autists making source ports. In the times of game maker, visual scripting plugins and store bought game templates, code is worthless. Get with the times, gramps.
>We are millionares, of course we won´t be hurting for cash
Wow, just wow
They're millionaires because they dared to compete against MINECRAFT in a blooming indie market. I dare you to find any indie game that had the balls to do something like that.
This is such a bullshit argument.
What poor little scrappy indie dev has been saved by Epic? Name fucking one
Just proves the point that Epic store is cancer if they wont.
I remember that epic support half hour comment or whatever. This guy's literally just coming to anti-epic threads and shilling for epic
The replies to that tweet are amazing. Re-logic might be lazy fucks who're still stuck with Terraria but the amount of SEETHING caused to mediocre indie devs only makes them based.
on the PC gaming show?
but that is hosted by Epic
oh no
Terraria had nothing going on for them, hell, even most of Yea Forums dismissed it as 2D Minecraft clone for so long, and the others dismissed it as some game that will be abandoned after a few months.
They didn't shit on piratefags with DRM, they didn't even ask for more money for DLCs.
Even now, they're still updating the game, which would probably be their 'training' for Terraria 2 development.
They're a based dev, and you can't take that away from them. No platform was there to hand them their money, they worked hard to get where they are today.
Compare them to other indie whining devs.
Someone post a screenshot of some of the replies. I don't use twitter.
Is this a joke? The only game they have to sell is old as fuck, who gives a shit if they're on the epic store or not? Everyone already has Terraria anyway. This is like some dried up old hooker "retiring" after she hits a ripe old age. No, bitch, you're just fucking done.
twitter.com
Just scroll down and laugh.
mhm they tried, and failed
If re-logic is anti-epic, then they're pro-valve, which makes them anti-consumer and anti-videogames. Fuck them. I curse them to die a slow and painful death just like how I curse Valve to die a slow and painful death.
>being against a company that have been consistently anti-consumer means you must be anti-consumer
Brilliant logic
Gonna feel real good when epic crushes steam completely then turns off the free money flow and hikes up their own cut on epic store. Fucking hilarious
tranny logic
>it's all just ass kissing
makes me seethe
>tfw someone tried this in the comment section, and Cenx literally said "I want our game on all platforms, so everyone can enjoy it."
BTFO
lmao what a cheapo heroism
chinks will beat the shit out of you fucking stupid amerimutts
lmao terraria is fucking everywhere mate not just steam
Man, that's lot of butthurt.
this, their marketing strategy has been way too aggro
say aggressive you fucking faggot
If Epic tries anything to sabotage their show, it'll only show them to be extremely petty.
China isn't even trying anymore.
I love how unapologetic Cenx is in the comments. I wish every women in the gaming industry would be like her.
i still didn't touch that fuckawful pixelshit but i hope more devs think like this in the future.
most obvious shill posting in awhile
step it up
That faggot with pepe avatar. What a fag.
>steam fffuck
Almost like, and bare with me for a second, steam reached it's position by being the consistently best choice...
Funny how the indies that made good games are succesful and never say anything bad about valve and even praise them sometimes while the faggots that make shitty limbo clones write whole novels on how valve is digital hitler.
>Wont play a game because it's pixels
>epic shills cry about how Re-Logic is being too mean in the comments
>forgetting the phoenix point dev who called all of his backers a bunch of retarded walking wallets and that he'd still be making bank even if all of them refunded
I remember some article saying that Valve becomes less of an unreachable entity and actually approaches more successful devs on steam.
>a bunch of people buying the game and posting it there
Fucking based.
ching chong nip nong
>Terraria sold like 30 million copies, they aren't hurting for money.
Kek, spoken by someone who has never worked in indie development before
>30% gone to Valve
>15 to 25% gone to publisher (505 Games)
>30% gone to tax
Why do you think they are still a tiny team? You cant break out as an indie in video games anymore, all your money gets sucked away by the vacuum of Valve and publishers.
>muh it's so easy for them to say because they're already rich and successful muh
These delusional retards don't even get it that Epic flat out don't want you if you're not successful.
>wow Re-Logic you are successful stop saying this, think of the poor indie devs like us
They made one of the best indie games of all time, and without China money. What have these no name hacks made?
And yet they shit talked Epic instead.
Really gets those neurons joggin'.
>"Valve is the bad guy, how dare they take 30%"
>says nothing about how this is the same on every single storefront
Infact, that's the funny thing. There's nothing stopping you from selling your game everywhere, so you can sell it on a market that doesn't take 30%. Exclusivity does nothing to improve that.
Fuck this shit who cares, where is the Switch version?
I've been meaning to give Terraria a try but I thought I should wait for a Switch version for maximum portable comfyness. But I've been waiting for 2 years now so what the fuck is going on?
isnt it funny that while this entire EGS sale disaster was going on none of these so called Bloggers and ''journalist'' reported on it
>publisher bad
>storefront bad
user it's part of business, you cannot always operate at 100% profits all to yourself.
Supposedly it's in 4 months, which is the time they gave for the next update.
based terraria devs
I'll buy another copy now
>15 to 25% gone to publisher (505 Games)
No.
Maybe for the ports, but otherwise no.
A fool of themselves.
Third party publishers are bad for everyone when they take a cut of sales no matter what it is.
Indie developers get scared that no one will buy or play their games if they dont get help from Valve/Epic/Insert faggot distributor here and publishers, they dont realize that these two things will fucking slaughter their sales in the long run. Imagine if your income was simply reduced by 50% before you actually paid tax, that's what modern video game design is like and why indie companies no longer make a breakout from indie to medium to large developers.
It's pretty clear what their narrative is at this point by doing that.
to 25% gone to publisher (505 Games)
check again R-tard
Terraria is self published
ReLogic is so fucking great. Terraria is literally the only game I've bought, enjoyed for a couple hundred hours, then bought again just to give to friends
Especially when publishers like 2K and Deep Silver will gladly screw the devs for a little more money to themselves.
No its a part of modern game design, all through the early years of the first vidya there was not this structure and we had a golden age of booming companies starting out small and growing over time.
That has ENTIRELY stopped, the only market where that has actually happened is mobile games where people can publish with minimal costs. PC gaming is 100% dead for anything that isnt either dead in the water indie or AAA.
That is the standard publisher take so yes
Winnie the Pooh.
>and why indie companies no longer make a breakout from indie to medium to large developers.
They don't make a breakout because the market is just oversaturated. Every random asshole with a keyboard and their dog is into indie development now, not everyone can be the next Braid.
lol fuck off shill
Don't forget how the 100 hour Fortnite work weeks were ignored.
That's why you need to actually work at selling your game. You can't just put it out there and expect it to sell itself.
For example, if you want your game to reach a wide audience, you should be attempting to sell it everywhere. The switch is a hotspot right now since it's basically a wild west with very few competitors on the eshop, so that's easy money right there. This stunt has pretty much guaranteed PC sales for Terraria on steam AND GOG. It's all the power of marketing with none of the exhorbitant costs.
How much you wanna bet they're gonna make another easy billion dollars once the Switch version comes out?
>Terraria is self published
Wrong, they took loans to start development from 505 Games. Also most sales are on consoles which also take huge cuts and PC stats are overinflated by free weekends and sales.
>So yes
No
also this
Rockstar got shit for it for a some time while with Epic you did not hear a peep
After the future takeover, partaking in threads like this will lower your social score
yeah that small indie game metro that already had a ton of steam preorders would have surely died if not for epic
I can't imagine how soul-crushing it would be to work 100+ hours a week on fucking Fortnite
505 Games PAID re-logic a large upfront sum for the rights to publish Terraria on other platforms. Their cut of the sales of the game is SIGNIFICANTLY lower than typical publisher deals.

>Also most sales are on consoles which also take huge cuts
consoles take the same cut as Steam
>PC stats are overinflated by free weekends and sales.
>it dont count because....
Not consistently best, just consistently decent.
Epic can't even manage consistency period.
>user I need those animations done by the end of today stat, and make sure they're lit senpai #yeet
Oh, and by the way

No
>implementing the latest meme dance in fortnite for 100 hours a week
Those poor, dumb bastards.
>Also most sales are on consoles which also take huge cuts
You mean the industry standard across everything, 30%
>b-b-but epic's 12%
Epic's 12% cut is funded by Fortnite money and overcharging foreign countries
>Also most sales are on consoles
Delusional.
Imagine having joined Epic around 2013 expecting to work on titles like Gears Of War and now you just making le meme dances
Not him but I don't doubt it. I think most of minecraft sales are on console as well. You can't underestimate the amount kids who buy the most accessible version.
And just when I thought they couldn't get more perfect. Re-logic is the single reason why I want to become a game developer.
Retard, the sales cut varies depending on how much it was sold.
Forget Gears of War.
Imagine seeing first hand how Epic slowly forgot about UT.
>Also most sales are on consoles
kek, how the fuck can you be ignorant about everything? The game sold 10 million units before it had even reached consoles.
The fact that Terraria is on the Vita and not on the Epic store speaks volumes
No. We know the game hit 10M+ sales before it was ever ported to consoles. There is no way most of the sales are from consoles.
>They big famous indie gaming, have option not go on epic and being fined
Nigga did you just have a stroke?
you mean the only
>P-P-PLEASE BUY OUR GAME
>W-WE DON'T LIKE EPIC TOO! SEE?
Pathetic, glad the game was gifted to me.
forums.terraria.org
The actually talked about sales recently and they said 27 million sold in total with 12 million on pc alone. So I am pretty sure it sold more than any individual console and maybe all the consoels combined.
>which makes them anti-consumer and anti-videogames
Where the fuck do retards like you come from? No I'm legitimately curious, I haven't seen these levels of retardation ever since barry shiting up KH3 threads.
>Phoenix Point dev gives backers the finger for Epic money
>re-logic thanks its fans and argues against exclusivity
Epic isn't gonna help you become successful anyway. They'll give you a bit of quick money at the start for being exclusive but no one is gonna actually see your game if it's on a platform no one wants to use. No one fucking goes "Man I'm a bit bored today I'll browse the epic games store."
They don't really need to shill their game, since everyone and their dog already owns it
If you can't tank his vocab, you oughta kite.
Have sex.
Is that one faggot working for Coffee Stain Studios or why is he bringing that up every fucking time. He is completely anally annihilated, holy shit.
this is almost as good as the console wars
but with more Stockholm Syndrome and butt frustration
Except instead of a retarded cluster fuck now it's "I actually understand the meaning of the word competition" vs "CHINA NUMBAH ONE"
I don't know why anyone thinks they demand so much respect anyway. What the fuck have they done, some mediocre tower defense games, a deliberately broken meme game that poisoned the industry for years and factorio but not as good.
>people actually fell for this shit
Yea Forums is the most underage board second only to Yea Forums
>people refund Phoenix Poin
>people buy Terraria and send the devs a picture of their purchase
TIM'S GONNA FREAK
Hey hey hey, Sanctum is legit fun. I know the dev is a douchebag, but I've had countless hours of fun playing that game.
they're only sponsoring it, trying to block devs would backfire hilariously hard
Sanctum 1 was surprisingly decent. I don't remember liking 2 much though, it felt too much like a generic shooter.
>money bad
go beat up some more garbage bins in the street you seething faggot
Epic will fuck up somehow. They managed to fuck up a sale and they don't even have that many games.
Otherworld was never meant to be terraria 2, but merely a spin-off. The devs of the original are no longer working on terraria so it can be assumed theyre working on a sequel
kek that's true
>Even Lovecraftian horrors from other dimensions would be food for Chinks.
What type of souless creatures are these people?
WHAT THE HELL IS IN THAT GLASS
I'm of the belief that whatever god exists out there has no more souls to give the chink race. It's the curse of having more than a billion people shitting up the world.
Hot booze or something

Fucking nuke them already.
poopoopeepee. It's quite a delacy.
Burgers nuked Japan and LOOK how much weirder they got. Do you really wanna gamble like that?
I don't get the outrage. You probably eat meat from cows, chicken and whatever else is getting their throats cut or entire bodies grinded and it is no different. Insects and your food gets killed in a brutal and dishonest way which you don't have to see anymore.
505 only manages their port release you fucking mong they are self published
This is why nobody wants to buy from your store
I'd rather nuke the USA
I believe Japan is the good kind of weird for most things. Chinks are the bad kind of weird and they haven't been nuked yet. A nuke seems like a worthwhile risk.
The USA as a whole isn't the problem. Nuke places like California or Florida and the problem goes away.
i do agree chinks are insects but the retards replying to this shit are all sissies and sheltered faggots
>bugs are the same as actual food for actual humans
Shut the fuck up, faggot. You have to go back.

Hey man, Florida didn't do nothing wrong
Jesus this is even more horrifying
You sound mildly retarded, please refrain from posting.
I'm not Chinese. And your booty blasted replies just show how disconnected consumers are from the actual process of food production.
We should still nuke it before Florida Man's influence spreads further
Bugs are not food bugman.

Isn't Terraria still generating revenue like a motherfucker? Those dudes made one game and they're ballers.
But Epic is seething because they want them and their money.
The only creatures I've seen constantly crying about trannies are closet homos like you who probably want to chop their dicks off.
>That one retard mentioning Coffee Stain Studios and how Terraria had to monetary opportunities to not have to sell out
>Coffee Stain Studios made fucking Goat Simulator which sold absurd amounts
Who are these idiots?
Because you don’t have to eat it just feed it to a better creature and eat that.
Fucking bugman we learned that millenia ago jesus.
How come tranny haters are closet trannies, but nazi haters aren't closet nazis? At least be consistent with meme accusations.

>Characteristics of ... Supremacy: Objectivity
Just fucking lmao. What better way to completely remove credibility in whatever you are trying to convey by saying you let your biases get in the way of everything.
What gave it out?
Not entirely sure. I think the fact that when a Chinkman gets attacked on this kind of stuff, they are quick to justify it in a myriad of ways. There were only a couple here and they felt like random statements thrown out rather than the true soulless shit they believe in.
Well no shit they have to justify it to themselves especially the ones doing it.
