Terraria se met à jour

Terraria vient de passer en 1.0.6 et comme d'habitude même si l'incrémentation semble mineure dans le chiffre le patch apporte sa dose massive d'ajouts, corrections et équilibrage. Steam en profite pour casser le prix du jeu, seul ou en 4-pack, à 50% jusqu'à 19h.

Le changelog se conclut par : "So completes the Balancing and Polish patch. And now work begins on the first true major content patch. 1.1 here we come!" Quand on voit le contenu des patches mineurs, on ose à peine imaginer celui d'un patch majeur !
