After reading the announcement about the delayed release window, I wanted to share a suggestion that might help both you and the community.
Since Terramity already has a lot of exciting content completed or close to completion, maybe Terramity 1.0 could be released in smaller, phased updates instead of one large release.
This could allow players to experience new bosses and systems earlier, while also making it easier to catch bugs, balance issues, or unexpected problems before everything is released at once. If any major issues appear, they can be addressed without risking a negative impact on the full 1.0 launch.
From a development perspective, smaller releases might also reduce pressure and burnout, especially as a solo developer balancing university and real-life responsibilities. It could give you more flexibility and personal time, instead of having the entire community waiting for a single, massive update.
Terramity already has a lot of hype behind it, and staggered releases could help maintain that excitement over time rather than putting all expectations on one release window.
Of course, this is just a suggestion. I really appreciate the work you’re putting into the mod, and I’m excited for Terramity regardless of how it’s released.
