The developers of Terraria have recently commented on a reddit post, and they mentioned Linux is still planned for the game.
It’s exciting news, as it’s a game I’ve always wanted to properly try, and now I should get the chance. We already knew they were planning it, but they went quiet about it until now.
QuoteJust to add to this, and reiterate what /u/Shadow1591 said, it is very much something we're planning for, or shortly after the release of 1.3. We definitely take both Mac and Linux gamers seriously. :)

I already have too many games!

Apples & Oranges.
My girl and me have over 1,000 hours in Terraria and we tried Starbound and wanted to puke. Each game is very different, one is about collecting and stealing things and the other is about building.
I've been watching my RSS feed for Terraria news on Linux all year. So nice to see this on GOL - Terraria 1.3 is going to be amazing :) (No More Wine + SSH Tunnel to play with .NET + XNA - it was such a nightmare)
Finally after gifting people 8 copies of this game I'll be able to play since Windows has RIP 1+ year and we're rocking Arch.

I really hope it comes out this summer, with a Linux server too! Playing MP under Wine is annoying, and trying to run a server has been impossible for me (though some claim they can do it).

I've actually held off on buying this when it kept being on sale because of the promise it would be coming to The Penguin.

Terraria has been in my collection since 2011 so a couple more months waiting isn't going to be any great hardship.

Uh huh.
And yet the developers were previously saying it would be made available with the 1.3 update... They even showed a video of Terraria running on Ubuntu and as I recall, they claimed that "just about everything" worked (paraphrasing there).
I'll believe it when it happens... Until then, my money will stay in my bank account.

Just to be clear, he did say it was planned for, or shortly after the 1.3 update. So it may still be with 1.3.

:'( I bought the game a couple of years ago, in my dual-boot days. I could buy it again, but... 
Of course, when games I had bought for Windows showed up in my library, I didn't repurchase them, I went, "Ahhh! Total War:Empires is here!" and downloaded the sucker. I did pay for the complete CIV V on release day last June, but it was $16.99, and that was huge discount for the game and every DLC .
I, being retired, have a small gaming budget (especially since I have had to reassemble (and reassemble and reassemble :><: ) a working low-budget PC (AMD 8320E, MSI 970 Gaming motherboard, GeForce 750ti), and I have frame-rates in the 40-60 fps range, which is nowhere near the frame-rate that others, with a bigger budget, keep chasing. I had had two dead ASUS boards, one replaced from Newegg, and one I had to repurchase because it was outside of Newegg's 30-day return window. It was still under ASUS' warranty. I sent the board back for return, and they wanted $50 more than the board cost to "repair" it. Now, that's customer service! The replacement Gigabyte board booted; about half the time, and it would not go online, neither my Atheros wireless PCI-E card nor Ethernet :O. I sent it i and received a refund for Amazon
, which I used to buy the MSI. The first one I got was a lemon, and I went on MSI's forums to figure out was going on. I received rapid response from an MSI employee who suggested, after I had told him I had tried a different power supply and video card, that I place the mobo on a non conductive surface. When that didn't work, either, he gave me the direct link to get an RMA, which came up ready for printing on the same website, on the spot. Finally got a working system.
What I have is more than satisfactory as a PC. I know that if I'd paid oh, $120 more, I could have gone the Intel way, but I am suspicious of a different socket with every new chip. I have always bought AMD, always trying to build a good machine on the cheap. Works so far.
When it works... :'(
