The modders of one of the best games on Steam seem to have done a very good job. So good that the actual developer of the game has now even taken notice of them.
Which game is it about? Terraria is considered one of the best games on Steam. With over a million reviews, the game has 97% positive ratings. On steamdb.info, it ranks 8th among the highest-rated games.
Not only the game itself, but also mods for the game enjoy great popularity. Accordingly, the number of mods is also high. In addition to some small mods that do not change much in the actual game, there are also large mods that bring countless content into the game.
One of these large mods is Calamity. The mod brings new enemies and bosses, endgame content, more than 1,000 new items, and even more to Terraria.
The development team behind the mod seems to have done such a good job that even the studio behind Terraria has taken notice of them. And is now making them an offer.
Terraria Head Sends Offer
What did the Terraria team say? Andrew Spinks, who appears on X as Redigit
, is the head of Re-Logic, the studio behind Terraria. In a post on X, he has now linked the team behind the Calamity Mod and asked them if they would be interested in working for ReLogic.
Yo @CalamityModTeam who among you wants to work for @ReLogicGames and get paid for their work?

Send me your resumes
In response, Shayy_TV, one of the developers of the Calamity Mod, stated that he does not have a resume but manages the mod’s X account and knows how to make funny videos. Spinks subsequently points out that ChatGPT is very easy to use.
There is no information on whether and how many developers of the mod will take up the offer and work for ReLogic from now on. It is not even certain if Terraria will receive any further updates in the future or not.
Actually Finished for Years
Several years ago, the team behind Terraria announced that they would bring one last major update and then cease development on the game, which was released back in 2011.
Originally, development on Terraria was supposed to end in 2015. But that did not happen. Instead, the developers simply could not stop development and released an update in 2020 with the fitting name Journey’s End
, which was supposed to represent the conclusion.
This conclusion lasted 2 years, until 2022. Here, the developers released another update, Labour of Love
. Since then, no new update has been announced or released by ReLogic.
Whether they are, however, quietly working on a new update and whether the developers of the Calamity Mod will soon be involved in it, remains to be seen.
What is your opinion on Terraria? Are you a big fan of the game, or is it not for you? Have you played the Calamity Mod yourself? If so, what do you think of it? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments. In the past, the head of ReLogic had a feud with Google.
