The creator of Terraria says the worst part of making one of the biggest indie games ever is that their wife likes Stardew Valley more

The developer of Terraria has revealed the worst part of creating one of the biggest indie games ever - and it's related to Stardew Valley.
Andrew 'Redigit' Spinks may have created open-world survival game Terraria - which is one of the most successful indie games ever - but that doesn't stop their wife from enjoying some of the other games on offer, and then telling them about it.
On December 3, the developer took to Twitter to share one of the problems with being the creator of Terraria: "The worst part of being Redigit, the creator of Terraria, the 8th best-selling video game of all time, is listening to your wife fangirl over Stardew Valley," the developer revealed.

To be fair to Redigit's wife, Stardew Valley is also incredibly popular with the indie gaming community. It's also an exciting time for fans of the farming sim because the Stardew Valley 1.6 update is right around the corner. In fact, its creator (Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone) recently gave fans an update on the upcoming new content, telling them that he's in "extreme crunch mode" for Stardew Valley 1.6.
Back to Terraria (sorry, Redigit), despite releasing in 2011 the sandbox game is still getting updates. Last week, it was revealed that Terraria's fish are now visible after 12 years - making fishing much easier. Similar to the Stardew Valley dev, who recently revealed it's players' enthusiasm for the game that keeps them motivated to continue developing it, earlier this year we found out that Terraria "still sells like hotcakes," and that's why its devs can't move on.
All jokes aside, both Terraria and Stardew Valley are worth trying out if you've somehow managed to miss them over the last few years - especially since there's still content regularly being added to them. Both titles are also available on a variety of platforms, including PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices.
You'll also find a bunch of other exciting upcoming indie games on our list.

Tekken 8 Could Be One of the Best Tekken Games Ever | Push Square
We were lucky enough to spend close to an entire day with Tekken 8 at a recent Bandai Namco press event — and we walked away from the experience thoroughly impressed. We've had high hopes for the long-running series' latest instalment for quite some time — especially since we're such big fans of Tekken 7 — but going hands-on with a near-final build of Tekken 8 really solidified our belief that this bone-crunching fighter could be something very special.

A Pokemon Fan Has Scientifically Determined The Worst Gym Leader In The Series
Pokémon has had a lot of tough trainers to overcome throughout its long history, and while we all remember the likes of Cynthia, Miltank-wielding Whitney, and Scarlet & Violet's Larry, they can't all be fantastic. Gym Leaders vary greatly in terms of quality and power throughout each game, but we've never been able to nail down which one is categorically the worst in the series.

The creators of Othercide, the grimmest TRPG ever made, are making a superhero dating sim
Othercide from French developer Lightbulb Crew is one of my favourite recent tactics RPGs. It's an atmospheric and rewardingly meticulous experience that typically pits you against overwhelming numbers, where victory comes about by carefully exploiting reaction abilities, positioning your troop of weary warriors just-so, and manipulating the initiative bar. At times, for me, it's up there with Into The Breach.
