Terraria got its latest patch today. According with the developers, there should be about 50 new items.

I patched my game around 8pm and played for about 3 hours. In those 3 hours, all I did was explore and get some of those new items. The game is really getting really large. Some things I noticed so far:

• The Guide is incredible useful now, not just for new players: A new option, “Crafting”, will allow you to drop an item and check what can be made with it.
• Corrupted bunnies are in the game.
• The desert biome is alive. It’s not just sand anymore, but new mobs and even cacti.
• The number of plants you can get is huge. I may finally have to do some farms.
• 3 hours playing and I didn’t go underground once. Too many new things around.
• Surface jungle? Not seen it yet.
• Glowing sticks. I can’t stop thinking about The Cheat.
• I’m kinda screwed with my Terraria crafting maps.
• The world generation is much more interesting now.
