Was Terraria developed back in 2008?

[SamiSha]

Seems Terraria has the release date of 2011, but some people say it is 2008, I say it is a lie, I searched everywhere, and no results about being developed in 2008.

Link that proves it, thx.

[^w^]

Wikipedia says January 2011, only source I could find.

I have no clue when it started development but its full release was May 16, 2011. It's 5th birthday recently happened!

"Development startet in January 2011"
http://terraria.wikia.com/wiki/Version_History
"1.0.0 on May 16, 2011"

So the two options are:
1. Developed to 1.0.0 in 5 months
2. Developed over 3 Years to 1.0.0

Possible solution:
1. compare the time 1.0.0 probably took to develop
2. look up the developers (how many)
3. question: could the developers develop the game to 1.0.0 in 5 months or not?
4. answer = was it developed since 2011?

As there are no sources for since 2008 it is more likely to be 2011.

I think the 2008 excuse was by fans who were salty over Minecraft development started in may 17 2009.

Alright, thx for the proof that is likely, in 2011

excuse me, what?
"fans" of terraria salty over minecraft beginning development first.
if terraria did not exist in 2009, how were there "fans" and how were they getting "salty"?

Just for fun I can clearly remember playing this game in 2008-9 on a version lower than 1.0.0 (i think it was 0.3.6 orso)

Re-Logic didn't exist until 2011, and the first pre-alpha leaked was early 2011
Here you have a video of what this version ~looked like.

I think i played versions below 1.0 but i am not sure. It was definitely a playable version with the bosses.

btw. nice necro

[davidb11]

Yeah. THis isn't a cool time to necro, Zugzug.
Doesn't make any sense.

Yeah I never know why back in 2011-14 people called Terraria a ripoff of Minecraft I feel like its because maybe kids didn't know what "Inspired games" were back in 2011.

Both were pretty on fire when it comes to similarties despite being absolutely apples vs orange, both only had one similar gimmick and a small minor art style.

Today, at least 3 years ago, both communities are pretty chill between each other.
