Top-Down Survival Sandbox RPG Inspired Heavily By Terraria! – Tinkerlands Prologue

Top-Down Survival Sandbox RPG Inspired Heavily By Terraria! – Tinkerlands Prologue

Hey everyone wot here and welcome to the Tinker lands prologue I’m not entirely sure what the version I’ve got is I’m pretty sure it’s either the prolog or something a little bit more uh but the prologue is going to be out on April 12th and I’ve got Early Access so we’re

Going to dive in not sure when this video is going out exactly but it is a top down survival sandbox game I’d say kind of in the same vein as like um ooh corke keeper maybe so looks like it’s a little bit more uh Islander which is

Kind of fun you’re awake where am I how are you feeling can you move with wsd do you think there’s anything left from the ship well there seems to be a lot of rocks and lumber and oh we got a box here box has got some stuff loot all so we’ve got

Pickaxe axe sure can I I don’t think I can pick the box back up again at least not currently ah there we go okay well this seems kind of charming right off the bat I’m a big sucker for top down survival sandbox games more than anything else you know what

Time to do the usual wait can I not huh there’s people there e space I have to have an empty hand to talk to people Yep looks like we’re stranded here and the captain is missing could you please explore the island and find the captain okay now I can press some things

Uh we’re going to save an exit go back out to the main menu for a hot second uh a lot of these are probably going to change however the sound effects are just a little too Punchy for me so I’m going to turn them down by 40% and we’ll

Just see if that’s too quiet or not uh I don’t know I got sensitive ears I always have and oh she’s moved that’s fine yeah it’s better I just like listening to music over Dunk Dunk Dunk Dunk and that’s just always been my I don’t know mod operandus modus operandi there we

Go uh let’s see low tool tier so I can’t I can’t break the big anchor yeah we’re just going to harvest a little bit of everything looks like all the monsters have moved in I might have actually skipped parts of the tutorial by quitting out and coming back in but I

Think that’s fine I can figure it out I this is always kind of like a weird uh weird thing that not everybody agrees with me on but from my perspective I absolutely adore learning how to play games um I don’t like being told how to play them and I know some people like

Vehemently disagree with that me on that one is that oh wrong one um but how do you describe it I don’t I don’t learn too many new things now I do I can but you know I’ve been doing this for 10 years I’ve been playing games pretty

Much my entire life I’m not in school anymore and I don’t need to go back anytime soon for any particular reason unless like YouTube collapses and I need to figure out how to become like I don’t know a subsistence farmer and even then I’d probably just uh not go to college

For that or anything of the sort um let’s see so what are we doing now what can we do so we got a Community member the guide house requirement oh so it is very Terraria all right so what can I craft so we can make rope but we

Don’t have enough torch Arrow working table but I need to make string string needs leaves so we’ve got to actually cut down these trees I was going to leave them cuz they look nice but it looks like we’re going to need them if I want to

Progress uh let’s see is this just not a good enough tool I’m going to assume that’s the case uh but effectively I’m not put into a whole lot of situations where I have much cause to learn much and so as silly as it sounds it’s very satisfying

Figuring out how to G how a game works especially if it’s intuitive if it’s not then it’s a struggle and that’s a problem sometimes people get mad at me for that kind of thing and we need to figure out how to get some more here okay big question is okay cool I

Can actually go through the water here it’s very slow but I can’t even make a crafting table yet until we get some more stuff oh that’s fine okay anything from here looks like you can mine a starfish for its legs some part of me feels weird about

That but so for me I don’t know I I think there’s a certain level of like enjoyment to figuring out exactly how a game works and plays and whatnot uh so I guess kind of within this vein I’ve been playing a lot of board games on the side

Off camera and it’s been very kind of gratifying to crack One open and be like okay how did these mechanics work today Euro games are both a terror and a delight of like oh gosh how do we sort through these like gazillion systems to have a good uh to actually be able to

Like learn and understand this game some my brain just shuts down I’m like I literally can’t process this right now other times I’m like yeah this makes perfect sense I I was playing like astronuts yesterday which was fun I think it needed a little bit more than

It had but uh that was a very um self-explanatory game and similar mechanically to a lot of other games I’ve played before so it’s just like yeah this works I understand this I know what I’m doing and then other times it’s like oh it’s a good example uh

We picked up Gaia projects and I haven’t looked at it too deeply but it was just like I I just turned around to look at my uh oh yeah we are full up I turned to look at my board game collection it’s like yeah guia project that game looks

Terrifying I’m looking forward to playing it at some point uh let’s see okay we’ve created our working table move it up here oh the music’s even very Terraria Terraria I don’t mind that so we’ve got wood pickaxe wood axe so we should probably upgrade to those looks like we’re going to need

Arrows if I want to go archery so let’s just go for a basic wooden sword um and roll the basic wooden stuff actually a wooden staff that might be fun to play around with so there’s also Leaf gun bone sword bone weapon let’s get a sawmill furnace I’m going to need

Some more rock iron anvil I’m going to need Brock cauldron Tinker table leather boots but I’m going to need other things warm scarf bunch of fancy things and an iron grappling hook okay actually you know the other thing I should probably make let’s just get some torches just so

I can see what I’m doing I’ll put the saw table down uh torch oh torches we actually have a couple let’s see how many tiles between do I want to have not too much and I think I can walk on I can walk on torches so that’s worth keeping in mind

Let’s just put that down for the time being as well and how do we equip these right click oh The Twig is lucky stick ooh they have a lot of different stats I wonder if they um I wonder if they’re randomly generated I might actually want to make a second one at some

Point uh just to see if they randomly generate all stats on each of these weapons cuz if that’s the case that’s actually kind of oh they absolutely do yeah legendary Stone axe slow stone pickaxe so let’s go back here make another stone pickaxe see if this one’s better while it’s

Average and I might hold on to them for the time being uh yeah you know what I’m going to keep this just in case just in case I can sell those okay so now that we’ve made a little bit of progress oh this feels good already I I’ve played a couple of

Top down Terraria likes I think corke keeper is probably closest to uh what makes the genre good oh there’s an Angy Goblin boy oh and he knows where I live and is now dead that’s what you get oh I have like limited Mana that’s a

Problem ow now can I like Dodge roll or anything no so very much Health Management interesting the crabs the crabs just run away from you they look angry enough that I was expecting them to want to do me harm but I guess I was wrong okay I’m like I said I’m digging

This is already doing a lot of things that I like I like the randomized stats sometimes that can be kind of a bore or even frustrating in these games but uh it still gives you some level of like Variety in terms of like oh yeah this is

A like uh legendary weapon and it feels kind of good it gives you a little bit of a reason to make multiple uh which I guess is a bit of a resourcing but boy you get one of those and it uh makes a difference okay I guess what I need more

Than anything else is Stone also there’s a treasure chest there cool I’m just going to get a lot of my Basics going and then we’ll look into uh we’ll look into actually doing some exploration in a bit must mean that there’s also just like pure gear-based progression here

Then cuz I’m not seeing a character level system at all I it’ll probably it’ll probably happen inevitably I would adore playing one of these games at some point with a full like Path of Exile style talent tree I know there’s mods for uh Terraria that specifically add that like oh it would

Be so good to have uh some more kind of in that vein like top down style and some other things okay so we want to get a furnace we want to get an anvil uh I can’t do a cauldron need Wasteland wood for a Tino’s

Table I think this is pretty much all I can do with what I’ve currently got let’s let’s put these down briefly just to see if I get any more so what can we do out of this uh so we can get a wooden chest betting but I’m going to need some more

Leather Igloo walls Minecart tracks fences Stone floor I think we probably just want a bunch of wooden uh wooden floors okay good oh there’s something shooting at me itabo okay so the the fairies don’t home in as well as I’d like them to but at least now I can make that

Bed okay that’s kind of a satisfying popping noise as these go down let’s just make a couple more cuz ideally what we’re going to have to what we’re going to want to do is probably house an amount of these NPCs let’s see uh first and foremost what can

We do here so we can make coal glass iron but I need iron ore copper ore okay can’t do anything with those and Anvil requires all of those looks like we can go up to spider Ingot what the hell that’s that’s disconcerting I was not expecting that

Exactly but hey all right let’s just pop a bed down and I’ll get a treasure Treasure Chest put at the base uh jeez what do we do do we just go on an adventure go looking around for a bit well we did have that treasure chest

I’m going to have to go find some iron and copper and some other things before I can do anything truly Fun this music is so Terraria okay leather boot accessory increases Max Speed ah hey let’s pick up as many of these chest as we can cuz we’re going to need caring capacity anyway o what is this legendary Trident how much damage it do 18 versus 12 okay so it’s not actually as amazing

As I was kind of hoping it would be it’s always fun to pick up like a really rare weapon early let’s see I think we’re already I mean we already have a sawmill so we don’t need more the one immediate problem I’m going to run into is uh

Literally I’m going to be running into things left and right uh it’s a little hard to figure out exactly where the path is and so it’s going to be kind of easy to get stuck on the terrain as I go through which isn’t that bad like I guess the same thing happens

In Terraria as well but it feels worse I think in a top down game than a platformer cuz I think a platformer you’re kind of expecting to get stuck on stuff in this it’s like I think it’s because things are layering on top of each other it’s a little bit

More ambiguous on whether or not I can pass through like oh yeah there is another Tree in here what I’ll probably have to do at some point is actually just make literally make some roads through denser pieces of like forest and whatnot oh this still going to leave a stump though oh well

Let’s see I’m not actually even sure where I’m going I guess the the one thing that would be oh it’s a rock I think that’s the problem I I don’t know what I’m running into so I have to just kind of guess and hope yeah once we get the later tool

Types I one bit of feedback is I would very much like to be able to um swap tools quicker uh so I’ll be like swinging at something then I’ll press one it won’t let me swap tools flower so if I’m like mining this with a pickaxe and then I press okay I

Guess that worked weird okay yeah if I’m currently SW switching I cannot press two to uh swap to a different weapon and I kind of wish I I could actually press it even mid swing to swap to something else so I don’t have to let off

Ever oh we’re going into the Ice Zone really well Ione does seem to have iron so I guess I’ll take it I haven’t found much for copper so oh shoot yeah exactly my problem I was having trouble swapping weapons there uh well at least I don’t lose anything for

That yeah I haven’t found any copper yet which is a problem cuz I need it what is it telling me to do create a house for the guide find The Bard in the woods that’s probably it that’s see it I guess I’ll just look around I guess we can grab some Coral

Over we’re here I don’t know if Coral is particularly important I guess the one thing I should do is probably swap the Trident cuz I’d switched I’d switched to the staff and I was trying to switch to the Trident while also fighting and I was stuck to the to the staff I

Think I don’t know it’s a little difficult to tell In the Heat of things cuz you know you’re getting attacked you’re getting killed uh do you have time to think about how you’re doing things correctly slime voodoo doll summons the Slime King oh this is very on the nose there we

Go unfortunately it’s the balloons and stuff I need copper unfortunately it might actually be too dark and I should probably just head home Oh blacksmith and the merchant that’s the other thing we might want to specifically prioritize getting the resources required to recruit some of these NPCs I’m on the other side cuz even if I can’t specifically um find Copper yet I might be able to buy it from one of them

So yeah let’s let’s just get a ton of wood especially while it’s dark and I can’t see what I’m doing anyway and let’s just make kind of a big housing complex it’ll probably just be my usual weird tenement housing system rather than anything actually meaningful but is what it is so it looks

Like uh the stone ax doesn’t leave stumps no it leaves stumps it’s just the smaller trees don’t leave stumps feel like something is coming from afar well that’s concerning okay what else do we have materials okay I’m just going to live here I think I’m probably killed too many slimes is the issue

Ow I think that must be the merchant right there okay does feel like this maybe could use a Dodge roll and also maybe a slight like hey there’s going to be a projectile here oh getting stuck in the water is bad for me okay looks like we’ve got possibly a potion cool down

There it goes boss fight music is pretty good I like the fact that his mustache exploded off of off of his face while those things can jump okay so what can we do with this increases where’s lock sure so we could also summon another one of those if we

Want to which we kind of do where’ the Merchant go I did he die he might have died he was here I think my big problem is what I need the most stack to nearby chest oh Blessed Be oh but it takes tools I don’t like that as

Much if I do drop all it pulls from my quick bar not a fan of that it’s not that big of a deal but it’s one of those where I think your quick bar should maybe maybe the answer is I think tools should not ever be affected by quick

Stack like if I could do like um if I could lock a slot no that doesn’t do it yeah if I could lock a slot so it’s protected from being quick stacked I think that’ be the easiest solution I I’m going to be dropping some amount of

Feedback as I go by here um if you’re if you don’t watch me often or you you don’t know like I often will will drop feedback for games that I actually think are kind of cool uh cuz I want to see them improve and get better and so like

This is doing a lot of things that I actually really like right off the bat it just needs more I guess I should go back and destroy those skele uh skulls shouldn’t I maybe seeing something kind of deserty there it is this is what I’m looking for okay so my character I

Think isn’t going to have the best time in the desert but that doesn’t matter hey there’s the merchant let’s see what he’s got welcome okay so we can buy a fireball spell to expensive portable candle uh that’s not a bad idea sharp arrow gold spear tridon which we already have

So Fireball spells tempting but way too expensive I’m just going to buy the lantern for the time being I like the fact that we have six accessory slots ow O everything hurts let’s grab everything looks like we’ve got some kind of deserty Shack here really okay I’m just going to hang out

Here for a bit ow Really ow everything sucks but at least we found copper oh you know what I should go back to the bed at least we got some copper ore that I can work with for the time being what else do we get what is this thing Heavenly amulet increases range

Damage by 15% unfortunately not really doing range damage okay big one is oh good we don’t have to wait for things to process that is a blessing I get two copper ingots oh that’s rough and we need Wasteland wood yep once again I was trying to swap

The tools and my character wasn’t doing it and wasn’t immediately clear okay so I think what I’m going to just do is carve like a slowly carve a path downwards we know where the desert is I could pick up my entire base and move it there’s no

Reason why I need to stay where I was apart from that’s kind of where I spawn but that’s really not a big deal yeah let’s let’s go pack up every everything that I can that looks like I can carry most of everything I guess it’s this that I want to bring back with

Me cuz those are just slightly hard harder for me to carry there it is and there’s a gabin that wants to shoot me there he goes I guess it is just late enough yeah so let’s let’s just go down let’s put our base kind of on the edge

Not like too too close so we’re not being beset by mummies just for existing but you know close enough that I can respawn and get back to um get back to the desert without too much effort ideally I think if two of these trees are next to each other I oh hey it’s The Bard can protect you from the desert but you got to make me a house First I almost kind of wish this game had like a shield where you could actively block oh baseball mitt what increases weapon knock back we’re getting a lot of accessories here which actually is huge one of my favorite Parts about Terraria is the sheer number of accessories that you can slap onto a

Character okay uh let’s see we probably have enough uh oh looks like we might have a some kind of weird flower there we’ll get to that in a second there we go Uh I might be in some degree of trouble I wish shift crafting uh shift clicking would get me more currently it it doesn’t do anything but shift click should give you like a stack of five Automatically there we Go so what does The Bard need nine tiles light source surrounded by walls needs to physically be in a house I guess let’s just cut down a number of these real quick this area is not going to be beset by stumps unlike the other base that I was starting to set up

In let’s see what else do we what else do we do at the moment I mean yeah really it’s just needs nine tiles wait only nine tiles so these guys can have like tiny little bedrooms it took me a little bit to like process how small that is well works for

Me okay that’s floor let’s just do a bunch of walls and just move it up oh here we go cuz a three by three oh beans pickaxe pickaxe Picks Them Up awkwardly I don’t think I need to put a uh a floor underneath there we go let’s try this

Again really yeah it’s pickaxe for both strange set that up uh H yeah do I want to have just kind of like a basic door for now yeah let’s just let’s just do something like this very small just serviceable enough needs more wood though there we go other small thing is

I almost kind of wish the uh the mining and the ax swinging wasn’t tile based that you just kind of swing in an arc in front of you and chop multiple things maybe maybe it would certainly make getting access to some or or clearing certain things out

Easier cuz yeah if I’m stuck in the woods I kind of want to just do like a Clean Sweep not have to think too deeply about it okay needs a light source okay the B is joined the community protection from the desert am I just protected oh he just

Gave me desert protection it’s a buff radio then I’ll just have this kind of be the store room area let’s just Chuck a bunch of junk small one would actually be I kind of wish I could click and drag when depositing a bunch of things just do a a quick

Sweep I’ll organize these later now hopefully those armor or something later on that makes it so I’m even more uh resistant to Desert and don’t have to worry about uh going back to the B every time but yeah I’ll be fine maybe axe axe lets me break Cactus there we

Go it’s we need a lot of this we also need to go chop down that tree up there other otherwise I’m not going to be able to make anything of Merit oh that’s fine and we know where iron is next after this I don’t know if

We’re going to get that far but we might I guess I should be collecting bone here too cuz I know we’re going to need that as well if I eat the bread I wish I knew what the bread specifically did like it gives me an extra 50 health

I can tell that much it doesn’t seem to give me heck is this thing sand oh I didn’t put the bed down okay before I go back out in the desert again like an absolute fool it is very much time that we got to get that bed down

You know what this game almost would benefit from Tower Defense elements I’m not even joking I think it would actually improve this kind of dramatically uh just by having like some basic towers that you can put down to defend your base just shoot the occasional Goblin that gets too close I

Heck go further uh make it kind of like OG fortnite save the world give you that level of like you’re building up a base and I mean maybe it’s one of those where even your towns folk have to like man the turrets and stuff or they might even go out and like do

Some things for you I I don’t know I I think there’s a lot of room room uh where this game can actually become something new as opposed to just top down Terraria cuz I think it’s got the good basis for top down Terraria I’m just not entirely sure if it should just

Be 100% that or if it should go further in my opinion I always like it when Gam kind of take a base you know something that is very clearly inspired by something else and then say like okay but how can we mix this with something else to make it spicy and interesting

And so like yeah having this have a little bit more of a like you know honestly a creature collection Vibe would be one of the other options is like straight up you could have like a monster that follows you around and does stuff uh or multiple monsters that have like specific perks

You can get them to do things um like you know if you could actually uh find goblins that don’t hate your guts and recruit them I just want Digimon World one again man I don’t know I I don’t think these necessarily need to be implemented in

The game to make it good but my big fear to some degree is that like the top down elements of it give the game a lot more potential space uh especially if we ever get get to the point where some verticality is included as well uh so

Like for example if you could go upstairs and go into like higher tiers of a tower or a a dungeon building or deeper into caves and you can just use like ladders or uh staircase blocks that are like yeah this this is what brings you up but uh even beyond

That uh what how would I describe it Terraria is already such a massive and content Rich game that it’s difficult to make something that is in inescapably similar without doing something extra fancy uh or completely different to really stand out uh so for example corke keeper is entirely underground which is actually pretty

Compelling just from the perspective of like you have to kind of dig your environment out for yourself to live and work in um and Starbound had uh well I mean more of a Sci-Fi flare but also kind of a greater degree of like storytelling let’s

See and it feels like this could use a little bit of some kind of spice Beyond just like top down Terraria to really make it sing I like the idea of of having to defend your base more than anything else uh so you have to put down like some some Towers or

Something I’m just going to make kind of a central room that is the house uh let’s just do pickaxes on this one I’ll have to pick the other ones up but at least that one I can move around uh but yeah so if I could have like the blacksmith in like a

Cannon just hanging out here and he just takes pot shots at things that go by uh just so I don’t have to worry about every once in a while evicting the goblins from my immediate vicinity maybe I wonder if this does AOE crafting time to find out

Okay uh we’re just going to loot all of this move it over I think this is just going to be kind of a a nothing room but if I can put something El someone else in it then I will gladly do so uh let’s have it go one more tile

Over oh yeah it ain’t working there we go okay let’s make one more door one more door El I don’t need that and where are my torches probably in one of these oh here they are okay what does the blacksmith need what oh move in we’ve got them both okay

So we now have the blacksmith kind of living in the main room uh let’s see hous is inhabited so I’ll have to move some of these things around maybe what we do is we actually do make this a bit smaller interesting blacksmith immediately just is like well

Bye there we go okay so blacksmith once again surrounded by walls minimum nine tiles light source same deal okay it’s screw it let’s just make a bunch of small Shacks I was going to make a bigger one but in the interest of expediency today let’s just have everybody live in small houses

Okay item guide isn’t probably isn’t that important oh what I’ll probably do is just make a um I don’t know let’s make a couple of doors here’s the question they’re probably going to disappear on me again yep instantly gone eh Okay blacksmith move in merchant yeah we don’t have the merchant yet going to put these here I think what I’m going to do is just have a bunch of small little pods have my people live in the pods then I’ll have my own house in a moment where I can actually really do

Things oops that wasn’t empty yet oh Well blacksmith has been evicted from the community bars in should be good yeah so I’m just going to remember that every single one of these needs to have three doors oh they need a treasure chest can I make another one of those uh

Probably I just need a bit more wood cuz my logic is I don’t think the guide is particularly useful oh I killed the [ __ ] out of a butterfly and it gave me a piece of gold that that feels weird okay let’s go back over here yeah it was just a treasure chest

Oh no we already had one what did I need in here then nothing the merchant hello Merchant shop okay so I can buy Rusty armor frog leg expensive grants a dash though actually useful let’s go buy all of my old equipment though actually first I need to go kill a

Goblin okay so the staff I can get rid of and most of this stuff I want to keep I think I’ll get rid of the amulet I’m not planning on on casting anything soon so big question oh we can also just sell things here too okay go back to the merchant so they

Also sell teleport potions which are good hot drink resists low temperatures pable gandle we already know about Max HP by 50 Max Speed I think it’s the frog leg is the only thing I actually care about grabbing and it’s a material so I can always I can potentially get more

But yeah Dash is going to be pivotal okay I’m just going to kind of wall off parts of the compound I’ll probably set up myself out in one of these though I think for now I’m just going to plunk a bed down in in with a Bard and sleep there where’s the where

Is the bed there it is spawn point set okay cool so if I die I don’t have to worry about it let’s go back up to this one is there AOE crafting there is not that is something that I I do think every single survival sandbox Base building whatever game

Needs is specifically the ability to um oh we have tons of coal uh is specifically the ability to have uh let’s see let’s just do quick stack to nearby chest oh No um the ability to craft with whatever chests are nearby rather than um having to have it in your your inventory at the moment it’s not that bad but it’s one of those where it’s like it’s just slightly inconvenient having to figure out like okay where’s

My stuff and move it around and whatnot ooh they do sell an iron pickax oh that’s pricey though might be worth saving up for but maybe not I’m just going to make a stupid amount of rope get rid of some of these leaves okay so what else do we have so we got

Two characters that we don’t know about yet uh it’s an M Quest so discover the cave find and save the captain and protection from snow so I guess main deal is we’ve got to go back out in the desert a couple of times we don’t have the buff at the

Moment guess first let’s get rid of this rock so it’s not in my Way there we go and that comes off cool down pretty quickly I think also resources respawn somewhat actively but I don’t know how active there we go I think I’ve already gotten that one okay I also do notice the enemies tend to be pretty aggro here have like no natural

Healing at least to my knowledge hopefully there’s a ring of regeneration but it would be kind of nice if like your character eats anything and gets a little bit of regen just so they’re not getting completely they blasted by everything in the vicinity oh no we do

Have a smidge it’s just very limited oh actually we heal very fast I just have to not get hit for a while let’s eat the bread then God damn it the Scorpions have a special attack of sorts that’s strange okay I don’t know what we just looted

Okay got it this is part of the reason uh the amount of enemies that are currently just spawning and trying to kill me it’s part of the reason why I actually was hoping this would have RPG elements at least a little bit of it I know the equipment system is probably

Good enough but some amount to me is just like yeah but some amount of me as like yeah but if I was leveling just like a little bit here a lot of these enemies being so numerous and so aggressive wouldn’t be so bad but I think that might just be a me

Thing I don’t know I I like I like RPG leveling systems as kind of soft difficulty curve if you’re doing well you can kind of spec hard into one specific build and use that to your your benefit and if you’re not doing well you can kind of use it to cover your

Deficiencies be it’s you know lack of DPS uh lack of survivability generally stuff like that okay cannot Dash through enemy attacks it’s mostly for just getting around and avoiding which is fine I was just hoping I could Dash through it okay so let’s see if we can find a

Couple more of those like big copper rocks how much are we sitting on 13 gosh I swear I had like way more than I currently do well this has a little bit more unless I have a full oh no I have a full stack I’ve got like 40 something that’s regular

Wood what is this down here oh it’s Wasteland versus desert I think we don’t actually get the um copper nodes in the Wasteland but it is where I get the wood okay going to notice me anyway ooh Rose no idea that for a hot second I don’t want to get hit by his

His mummy attack cuz then he uh then he surrounds me and whales on me or surrounds me just gets up in my face and beats me to death so this guy is’s just a Wandering Merchant and he’s always wandering iron staff and O yeah I like the Trident I am having a

Little bit of trouble with it some of the enemies start just jumping straight over it ow the fact that those H in is annoying that’s fine at least it’s just a free teleport home 10 damage when hit being hit by contact eh that’s probably stuff I’m just going to sell it’s worth

A lot too Heart of Stone interesting get rid of the ship wreckage Flint normal arrows into fire arrows interesting is oh it’s an accessory I see let’s get rid of my wood staff CU we have an overpowered wood staff okay so what else what can I make with this well the

Idea is an amount of com copper ingots okay so the big one is copper tools yeah I’ll just go for the copper armor it’s actually quite a lot of money I buy anything useful I should have maybe thought about that uh let’s see tool tier pickaxe damage

Aha we have so much rope why not right see anything else I can sell no let’s let’s go get just a smidge more copper actually we have to go talk to the Bard yeah I can just buy the iron stuff at least the uh at least the tools so now we can go into the icelands or even outside of the icelands if we want to and I might want to I want to I might want to specifically actually

Get that bow I wasn’t directly planning on it per se uh however now that we have that Flint which transforms regular fire regular arrows into fire arrows especially if we’re going into the icelands it might make sense to just have like a stupid stack of ice Arrows I think the other thing I would love to see in this is oh that’s not fun oh was really hoping hiding behind a Rock would block some shots alas it does not uh I’d like to see some more interesting locations uh maybe like you go into the desert I know there’s like the little shacks and stuff but it would be kind of interesting if they were like sprawling cities like

Maybe even to the point where going out and Mining you’re not inundated with enemies but there there’s like a a sprawling desert complex that’s kind of mysterious you don’t know what’s in there and that’s where all the enemies really are Packed do a couple more okay so boots and bow see Iron there’s the sword there’s the spear I spider the final tier I have no idea a man all right yeah deadly copper bow are any of these bad vaguely I’ll just sell that for the time

Being and sadly there doesn’t seem to be a set bonus for the weapons it’s not that big of a deal but be nice uh let’s see Leaf gun six damage compared to 17 not even a question nine damage okay so we have wooden ammo sharp arrow and fire ammo I need

Rope let’s just grab a couple of These how many arrows 555 that should be pretty good all right so now I’ve got fire arrows yeah I should be good all right I guess the other thing I should do while we’re here is grab one of these I’m just going to make a second

Bed cuz I don’t know what I’m doing with like half of these resources they’re not particularly amazing um they’re not amazingly useful for me at the moment let I’ll just put the base building materials over there sort of guess this some of the Slime King again

Seeing as I’ve got the crown let’s just fight him a second time around see if we can get a cool perk amount there we go slap them all to death and we just get another lucky mustache which might actually be good let’s take a look at these what could I get rid of

Ah you can’t double up well that’s fine I bet they sell for a ton let’s see lucky mustache it sells for 200 it’s not that good but it’s not that terrible either and now that I’m kind of in this position I could get oh tic quick heal that is

Useful oh see shift click lets you buy as many of those as you want I guess I’ll grab some Bread yeah do we do anything else no I could probably sell some things oh let’s grab the the potions oh warm scarf so that’s how I can survive the ice area oh Ed to combine combine accessories we need Wasteland wood rope and regular wood going to get a little

Bit distracted for a moment just in case some of these are actually really good and combining accessories is like big number one thing that I absolutely adore from Terraria like like I said earlier this has got a lot of the bones it just needs a little bit more I I

Think the other thing I was going to say is um modern Terraria has had a lot of time to develop and become something interesting early Terraria was a little boring but the one thing it did really well was it always felt like you were kind of finding something interesting

And new uh partly because of caves normally you’re just mining through like endless Rock but every once when you run across like a cave system that would be doing something that would do something slightly different and so there was kind of that feeling of like you know whoa I

A that would have been nice three Magic fairies would have been nice oh well I got to keep in mind get a lot of money and specifically he will uh he will actually pay out quite well uh occasionally kind of randomly so what can we do glow desert mask resist

Desert storms and emits light around the player so that’s pretty good feather coat bird feather and warm scarf resist low low temperatures and no merman boots or lucky frog leg let’s see piercing rounds Iron Maiden spores when receiving damage and that and then Trinity bloody Fang Heavenly amulet and magic

Sword pretty basic stuff the desert goggles are the one thing that I could do glass well can I make it had some sand I don’t think I can actually make this one I need a little bit more six sand so let’s let’s go snag that real quick well that’s quite a

Lot I think the problem with these mummies is that their range is stupidly long like I get it that’s the only way they’re going to be threatening but it’s just like from halfway across the screen it’s a mummy shot and now you’re stuck good luck it’s not the end of the

World um but yeah so terraria’s had so much time time to develop and make interesting things kind of at the same vein is like Starbound uh both uh both terrari and Starbound it feels like you’re exploring cuz there’s actually stuff to do and find this is a

Little bit too early in that regard and so the map feels big and empty and kind of lifeless you know sure it’s filled with tons of monsters but there’s that feeling of like yeah but none of these monsters are really like well none of these areas are particularly interesting

Like yeah there’s tons of monsters but they’re just there they’re not doing anything I don’t they’re not doing anything in in Terraria either but it maybe feels weirder in this one cuz it takes about like 10 seconds for them to start showing up then there’s then you’re buried in mummies it’s

Weird Okay desert goggles and then we pull this out and we’ve got the glow desert mask cool so now I resist sandstorms and now I have light let’s go back and put everything else away cuz I don’t think we need it too bad and so having either like more unique areas I would

Still say is kind of like uh roads or something that you could actually build in Mass kind of quickly wouldn’t be a bad idea weirdly enough I’d actually say kind of like a a Civ style Tech Tree wouldn’t be a terrible idea I to get it you know something where it’s like

Yeah I’m going to research roads and you can actually just start putting down like large swaths of road on the cheap I it would probably just like delete a lot of res resources in the area oh I guess that’s the point of the mine carts isn’t it now that I’m

Thinking about it I don’t Know at least it’s easy enough to get to the icelands what am I what am I stuck on is the one problem you don’t see the rock behind the thing I think maybe it should kind of fade into existence the closer you get to it

Okay let’s back off of that for a hot second because I forgot I need a hot Drink okay Penguins don’t give much of anything but that wasn’t really an expectation okay deons mucus ice yeah I’m just going to very kind of sneaky hide in here at some point I’m going to get mobbed by Enemies a little bit of auto aim would not be remiss here considering a number of these enemies have kind of like a a natural like waiver to their movement but it might also just be that my accuracy is super terrible and I just need to accept my deficiencies who knows ow

Okay have you burned maybe I should have actually had that accessory accessory with the knockback on it maybe music is very once again Terraria but also kind of Christmas right now oh there’s some Iron okay 13 problem is I need like way more than 13 that fire is not reliable I wonder if my problem with the aim is because it actually has kind of an arc to it and so it doesn’t it doesn’t fly quite straight maybe I don’t Know okay how long have I been going for probably long enough y Let hoping to get enough stuff that I can get that winter scarf I just can’t hit for be I’m trying there we go much more are we at 40 something that’s pretty good oh you do not want to take that hit let’s grab some ice flowers in case we need them There we go okay don’t remember if these suckers yeah there is an arc that’s what’s messing with me so I’ll be aiming at an enemy and it goes right over them because of the natural like curvature of how you fire okay and yeah we want fluff Just want to buy from the merchant man There we go okay does he have anything interesting never mind doesn’t matter now it matters okay how much do I have not nearly enough I was hoping to grab like the gold spear uh yeah I can’t sell the voodoo doll so yeah I guess we’re we’re just out of luck

Okay let’s just grab a little bit more iron I’ll probably just be taking the uh oneway trip home since you don’t lose anything on death I’m might as well just stick around here until I get absolutely beasted by something I’d like to find a couple more of the Big Iron rocks

Though there’s a couple of them there’s also the thing about like finding the um finding the cave I kind of wish that was actually something that you would mine down into you build like a ladder or you mine a certain block and it creates like an opening ooh that’d be

Kind of cool it creates an Opening um then you can like jump down into but you can build like a a structure that gives you a a more permanent like way up and down and then eventually you can build like a better elevator and stuff I don’t know I Kepler is probably a good example of this kind

Of where you start with just staircases but eventually it’s pretty Substantial I have a lot of things why am I still using my pickaxe Okay let’s just go in here what does this have for me well it’s got the magic sword just going to live in here for a moment cuz we can get my HP back though I should probably just end this video so I guess while we’re here here and don’t

Have to worry about too much let’s actually put ourselves in danger while trying to do an outro that’s always a good recipe for uh being able to string sentences together anyway uh so the Tinker lands demos demo prologue is going to be available on April 12th I’m

Not entirely sure when this video is going up uh but you can pick it up and play it then this looks kind of cavish nope it’s a puddle beans uh anyway it’s fairly solid so far it definitely has like a little bit it has more it needs more time in

The oven I think it just needs more stuff is the answer more meaningful stuff like the the world’s kind of fun to explore but it’s fun to explore for a little bit and then eventually it’s just like yeah I’ve kind of seen a lot of this Already also I don’t know I’m still going to stand by I would love some RPG leveling you know just some basic stuff something like extra healing or uh o consumes Mana regenerate 50% of dam damage received I mean that’s that’s pretty good um but like it doesn’t need RPG leveling

I just think I’d like it from the perspective of like making life easier for me I don’t know do we want to try the S it doesn’t have any knockback oh that big though oh and I am quite dead I did start cooking that Yeti but uh yeah the slow plus

Other things is a little rough it’s fine I’ve got tons of iron let’s get out of here anyway so beyond that don’t know too much about what the plans are for this game out sometime Quarter Two I think this year so it’s going to be first half of the

Year I wouldn’t be surprised if it isn’t like May uh but I could be quite quite wrong on that one either way it’s got good bones and I’m looking forward to seeing where it goes also hopefully multiplayer becomes um uh a feature I think currently I didn’t see anything about multiplayer

And currently it say is single player but being able to play this with like a handful of friends would have actually been a ton of fun but for now at least if you like this video in anyway shap perform leave me a like helps more than

You know and if you want to see more rad new games every single day then hit subscribe because I got tons to check out and show off but with that thanks for watching I’ll see you next time oh yeah last thing this game needs is a

Summon build I want to be able to summon some friends both real and Monster
