User blog:Wga05/The Tantalite Mod's origin.

Hey everyone! Just a warning: If you a developer on the mod you already know this and will get bored reading about it.

It all started with the Purity mod, a mod that I was coding (and spriting garbage for) after a little bit of development I started recruiting people to help me with the mod. The first recruit was the Lone miner (Spriter) who at the time, had no previous history of spriting. At all. He made a sprite for me, and I liked it, so he got on the team. The next to join was Kalciphoz. I had worked with him previously (I requested him to make a sprite for the Purity mod before this) and his sprites were amazing. So I let him join without requesting another example sprite. Plus, I found out he was a coder too!

Then Dexavior. I had also worked with him previously, but not for spriting. But since I knew him before, I let him join the team! Good thing, because his sprites are also top quality! He's also a coder for the team! And the final one to join was Coolwo (On the Terraria Forums John Egbert). Coolwo is just an awesome guy. Plus he's a good spriter.

So, the Purity journey began. Not long after we started, Dexavior suggested we should combine the Tactical Mod (A mod he was working on at the time) The Purity Mod, and the Prehistore mod (A mod the Lone Miner was working on) At first I didn't think It was a very good Idea, but the more I thought about it the more I thought It was a good idea. And so we did! And I suggested the name DEX THE LONE COOL CREEPER! (And Kalciphoz)...... Yeah we didn't we didn't use that name. Instead we went with Dex's suggestion, Tantalite.

And now you know how the Tantalite mod came to be. Hope you enjoyed it, and have a Great day!
