Making a game like Terraria is no small feat! Start by learning a programming language like C# since it's widely used in game development, especially with the Unity game engine, which is perfect for 2D games. You'll also want to dive into pixel art for that classic Terraria look. Understand game design principles, maybe tinker with some mods for Terraria first to get a feel for it. Don't forget to plan out your world's biomes, creatures, and physics. Oh, and patience, lots of patience!

Just clone Terraria 4Head. But seriously, start simple. You can't just jump into making a 'Terraria but better' on your first try. Focus on getting the basics down: 2D world generation, basic player movement, and simple item crafting. Use game development forums and YouTube tutorials for help. Bit by bit, you'll get there!

As someone who's dabbled in game dev, you're looking at a long road ahead. Terraria combines exploration, crafting, and combat in a unique way that you'll have to carefully balance. Start with something simple, like creating a single biome and adding a few monsters and items. Game design is all about iteration. Remember, Terraria wasn't built in a day!

Just buy Terraria and enjoy it, making something similar is a massive undertaking. But if you're serious, learning game design and coding is where to start.
