Terraria for PC may be seeing new content soon?
If you head over to the official Terraria forums, Redigit (a dev) asks a “hypothetical” question.

Okay, let me pose a hypothetical. Say I am considering doing an update for the PC version of Terraria… In the event that such a thing were to take place, what would be some things that you would be interested in seeing?

If you have anything you’d like to see, you should go join in on the conversations.

I guess I get to be “that guy?” Very well.
Start by implementing the features from the Xbox version.

- from Treasure Adventure World (Robit Studios & Chucklefish, Release & Platforms Unknown)


Now, Robit Studios has teamed up with Chucklefish (Starbound, Wanderlust: Rebirth) to reimagine the world of Treasure Adventure Game with enhanced graphics, a smoother engine, more treasures, new puzzles and more. The result is Treasure Adventure World, a labor of love that will delight fans of classic gaming, adventure games and platformers as well as those who appreciate beautiful hand-drawn 2D art, or a story filled with mysteries, ancient demons and parrots.

A Man’s Quest  (Drunkdevs, 2012 - Game Maker: Studio - Free)
A bit late to the ball with this one, but it’s really really pretty and I wanted to post it and these circumstances are all now yours for the coping.
A Man’s Quest follows the Metroidvania formula in structure but with a brisk pace uncommon to a category known for adhering to time-consuming game tropes for the sake of nostalgia. A noticeably sparse color palette and simple controls help articulate the 8-bit echo, perhaps more reverently than many of its similarly retro-styled peers.
A somewhat smudgy-looking HTML5 version of A Man’s Quest can be played in-browser from the DrunkDevs website (recommended for Firefox;) a crisper version can be had as a downloadable.
