Hello world. J-bro here, and I come bearing news. A new game is in the works, it's not from one those big name companies. It's a game by a new Indie* company. The game, is called Terraria! It's in pre-Alpha, but the Lets Plays are loud and clear on details.

Part 1: Terraria and Minecraft

It's being called a 2D Minecraft. My opinion? They couldn't be farther apart. Sure, they're both survival. But there's a world of difference. In Terraria, there are other NPC's that can visit your town. On Minecraft, you're all alone. In Terraria, you've got a sort of mana system. And even later on, guns and jetpacks! Minecraft on the other hand, is pretty realistic. Etc, Etc, Etc.

Part 2: Gameplay Mechanics.

As soon as you start off, you've got an axe and pick made of wood. Good enough for survival, but not Terraria survival!** You cut trees for wood, make a workbench, upgrade with stuff you got from mining, etc, etc, etc. You start with 5 hearts. Or 100 health. You raise the maximum with crystals you find underground. You also can get a mana bar eventualy. For more advanced stuff later on. You can also combine certain items to make... BOSS SUMMONERS! It'll summon an epic boss, with even better rewards, for you to fight.

Part 3: FAQ about the game.
Q: When's it coming out?
A: In a few months hopefully, as it's pre-Alpha now.
Q: How much will it cost?
A: Not much as far as we can tell.
Q: CAN AI TEZT PLZZZZZZ
A: Next please.
Q: Hey, how do I test the game?
A: Well, it's closed testing right now. So for now, you probably can't.
Q: IT'S A RIP OFF OF MINECRAFT!
A: Why won't you people stay out of my FAQ? But to be fair Minecraft was based off of Infiminer and Dwarf Fortress.
And that's all for today folks! See ya round.
