MoonQuest is a new procedurally-generated adventure game from developer Wizard Mode, one that looks a little like Terraria and it's coming to Linux.
About the game:
MoonQuest is a procedurally-generated adventure game with roguelike and minecraftian gameplay. Seek out the lost forest, delve into the spider caves, storm the castle of the Silver King, discover vast seams of gold ore, and craft a hat of such splendour that the cosmos will be jealous.
Have a looksie at the trailer:

Curious about it, I went searching. It turns out, that the developer actually replied to a post on the Steam forum about there already being a Linux download. This was an outdated version, but they do hope to have a proper version out later this year! They have it running, but they say it "just needs some more work!".
Game features:
- A new world to explore every game, with frozen forests, hollow mountains, dangerous dungeons and populated towns
- Strange alien creatures, wandering merchants, and relentless enemies
- A rich environment with destructible tiles, ambient wildlife, and weather effects
- Strange moons that influence the game in unique ways (e.g., the Giant moon spawns giant versions of animals and enemies)
- Hundreds of items including weapons, tools, hats, armour, shields, blocks, toolbenches, and so on
- Several playable characters, each have something unique about them
One to follow for sure, hopefully it won't be too long before the Linux version is out. If you would buy it and play it on Linux, might be worth letting them know in this linked forum topic.
You can find it on itch.io and Steam.

...and it's coming to Linux.It bloody well better be, after they promised a Linux version during the Kickstarter (and so I backed it). xD

Well, it used to be called "Moonman" back then. :P
Please Note: The game has just been released on Early Access for Windows only. The OSX and Linux builds will hopefully be out later this year. The game is still in development, but this is the first public release, and I'm super excited (and exhausted)!
If you have any questions, please contact me via the kickstarter messaging system, or directly at twitter. We also have a website where you can read more about the game: https://playmoonquest.com.
Thanks for joining me on this journey and I'll be back with news of the OSX and Linux builds and the future direction of the game.

Not sure how all those elements blend together but will see.
Sounds like a Hardcore Terraria tbh , at first glance.
Thanks for the interest everyone. For this thread: If you're interested in testing a Linux build, jot down your name and I'll come back in a few months and message you.Source: https://steamcommunity.com/app/511540/discussions/0/2572002906847294166/?tscn=1531811348#c2572002906859264200
