Terrarum 0.3.1

Release Version 0.3.1 introduces the most recent version of JVM and hopefully fixes some bugs.

New Stuffs

  • Upgrade to Java 17
  • Support for AArch64 Linux and Mac (ARM Mac version is regrettably broken)

Fixes

  • Bad OpenGL version was specified for the game file of the previous version; this version of the game should run on OpenGL Version 3.2 or higher.
  • Minimising the game window may not crash the game anymore but I'm not too sure about that.

Savegame Incompatibility

Java 17 brings security patches that makes savegame from previous version partially incompatible. To continue play your old savegame, you must take following actions:

  1. Launch the game version 0.3.0
  2. Load your save file and remove every single Tiki Torches placed on the world. You can pick them up by clicking on them barehandedly, or simply mine them using a pickaxe.
  3. As long as the torches are stored in the inventory and not placed on the world, you're now ready to update the game. Save your world and perform the update.

Installation

  • Unzip the zip file to wherever you want to install the game. That's all!
  • The Assets directory also must be updated. Simply overwrite it while unzipping.

Launching the Game

  • Run (or double-click) start_game_your-operation-system; e.g., start_game_windows for Windows.
  • If your system has ARM processor, launch the file that ends with _aarch64; for Intel and AMD processors, launch _x86_64. Windows players need not worry about this.

Terrarum 0.3.0

After exactly 9 years of development and 2 complete rewrites of the codebase, I humbly announce the first public release of my game.

Right now the game does work: you can move around exploring mountains or spelunking the caves, building something with a limited set of blocks and save your progress, but that's pretty much all the fun you can get for now.

First Time Installation

Common

  • Make sure your system is capable of running OpenGL 4.3 or higher. For macOS running system, you need to have mesa installed; see below for instructions.

Installing Mesa on macOS

  1. Locate the Launchpad icon on the Dock and click it.
  2. Type terminal on the search bar and launch it.
  3. On the terminal, copy-paste the following command and hit Return; this installs the Homebrew package manager:
    /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
  4. After the Homebrew installation, type and run the following command again; this installs the Mesa:
    brew install mesa

Actually Installing the Game

  • Unzip the zip file to wherever you want to install the game. That's all!

Launching the Game

  • Run (or double-click) start_game_your-operation-system; e.g., start_game_windows for Windows.

System Requirements

  • CPU: A lot
  • RAM: Just a few gigs
  • Disk Space: Less than a gig for installation
  • Graphics: OpenGL 4.3+
  • If you have an Xbox controller, unplug it: the game only has partial support for the game pad, and it may not work properly on this release

Known Bugs

  • On Windows 10 with nVidia Graphics, minimising the game window may crash the game.
