Dear Reader:
Terraria devs share progress update on Switch version, say all that's left is "final polish and QA check"
After quite a long wait, it seems we might actually be nearing a release date for Terraria. The dev team has shared a new blog on the game's progress, and it seems the Switch version is close to wrapping. Check out the full post below.
Another month is in the books, and there’s been a lot of progress going on for the Nintendo Switch version behind-the-scenes.
As we stated in a previous update, the team is working directly with Redigit and the rest of the Re-Logic team on a feedback list they’ve provided, and work on that is nearly complete. We anticipate there will be a bit more back and forth and tweaks made as we near a final review by Re-Logic and our QA teams.
Part of this feedback encompasses touch support refinement. There’s a ton of work going on to make sure that there’s a nice blend between controller and mobile-style touch input. These changes should really improve both crafting and inventory sorting.
Now, let’s talk about the Switch submission process. We’ve completed an initial submission with Nintendo. This means that Nintendo has had the opportunity to poke and prod the build as well as provide feedback. Typically, this is referred to as a pre-check, prior to a final submission. The team is currently working through those outstanding bugs reported by Nintendo.
Without divulging too many details this went very well with a very low bug count. All that remains is the final polish, QA checks, and we’re off to the races.
