So yeah. Old thread was last posted in August.
Terraria has been called 2D Minecraft, but with Castlevania/Metroid and RPG elements. You can build, explore, excavate, fight bosses, or anything really.
Since there kinda seems to be a renewed interest in Terraria, at least with DotS-Meido, I wanted to start the thread up again.

Apparently development is halting after another few bug fixes, but apparently another company is offering to take it up. Any thoughts? Any fun projects you've made? Any questions or cries for help?

The last last time I played terraria was when 1.1 got released. now I started playing again with a new character and it feels just fine, especially so because I'm playing with other people that also started fresh. Fun projects? Lava machines, of course!

On another note, I had a meteor land squarely in a chasm in my world

I hope it will be either taken over, or the source code will be released so the modders can keep the game alive.

I'd like to see development continue as well. I'm not sure if there's really anything else that can be added to the game, aside from new bosses and enemies. Some more depth to the wiring mechanics would be really nice.

Things I'd like:
Weather, like earthquake, rain, tornadoes, tsunamis
Randomly generated dwarf towns underground that give quests, maybe?
More furniture items
Volcanoes and mountain biomes
Different continents with unique biomes: build a house near the ocean and a ship master npc appears that can take you to random lands about two size smaller than your original; crystal land, snow land, savannah land?
Different types of trees
Yeah, some wire reworking and more stuff to do with wires.
Some sort of NPC programming thing that lets you hire, say, guards for your castle and plan out patrol routes, or program a smith NPC to take materials from X slot in Y chest and make Z bars, then put them back.
Stealth mechanics? Probably not.
Crouching
Ledge grabbing.
More types of invasions, maybe a diplomacy option. Like necromancer army or legion of mummies.
