Mods

Since we're a team of modders (hi, I'm Tomat, and this is Oli), we're developing mods. While we have many personal projects, our list of projects under the Team Catalyst name is modest.

Nitrate Icon

Nitrate

An aggressive optimization mod for Terraria that moves a lot of rendering to the GPU, parallelizes many operations, and (when possible) swaps out XNA numerics types for JIT instrinsic/SIMD-accelerated types/operations. Still in its infancy, Nitrate is being worked on constantly with a no-compromises mindset to speed the game up as much as feasibly possible while preserving the vanilla user experience.

The Great Pretender Icon

The Great Pretender

The Great Pretender provides an API for mods that want to replace APIs provided by other mods. It allows mods to register "pretend" mods which they intend to mimic, allowing them to hijack assembly references and Mod.Call invocations.
