Looks like an early birthday present is on its way to me, as the Terraria developers have officially stated Linux & Mac builds should be out in July.
This will come just after the 1.3 release which has a lovely trailer:

It looks bloody mental going by the trailer. I always wanted to give it a go, and even though Starbound filled a small gap in my heart, Terraria is a "finished" game and much more stable. Not only that, but Starbound is still limiting saved games to your installation, and Terraria is about to have Steam Cloud saving, that alone makes me want it more (I've lost many Starbound characters).
I find it hard to imagine anyone getting bored on Linux now. So, many, games!
QuoteWe do want to give our Mac and Linux Terrarians a quick update as well. Based upon current status and planning, the plan is that Mac/Linux will launch shortly after 1.3 - aiming for a launch within the month of July. This is being done to ensure the most stable Mac/Linux builds possible so that everyone has the best experience that we can provide.
