been in my head to try to bring Terraria at least to XBLA. That was one of the big reasons I went with C  and Microsoft XNA to write the Runeacape game in the first place,Buy Runescape Gold" Spink explains to Gamasutra.505 approached Re-Logic about bringing Terraria to consoles well before Mojang's Runeacape game released to XBLA, but the publisher is certainly encouraged by Minecraft's performance. "It's hard not to notice how well Minecraft XBLA has done, and for us it was definitely interesting to see the nuts and bolts of how they handled the jump from PC," says 505's global brand manager John Merchant.And it's not just the XBLA edition 505 is excited about. Merchant points out that this will be the first block-building type experience on PSN, so there's an opportunity there for companies to really tap into an audience that's been underserved so far.He adds that it's certainly an attractive genre to publishers when they look at some of the aforementioned successes, but Merchant doesn't think it's one that companies can effortlessly jump into with a slipshod clone or generic title: " It's not a particularly easy genre to deliver on when you consider that you are delivering an endless canvas of construction and adventure."Terraria for PCTerraria isn't a sandbox Runeacape game you would confuse with Minecraft's many clones, as its 2D world is made up of sprites that look like something out of a 16-bit RPG, instead of the 3D blocks that build Mojang's Runeacape game. Merchant compares the feel of the Runeacape game to Metroid and CastleVania, which he believes makes Terraria feel at home on a console.That diferent visual take and feel, along with Terraria's Runeacape player focus, Re-Logic's reputation for listening to its community and tweaking the Runeacape game accordingly, and the already dedicated fanbase for the title, convinced 505 that partnering with Re-Logic would be a better plan than trying to pick up just any Minecraft-type Runeacape game.Both Spink and 505 expect more publishers are starting to pay closer attention to these kinds of Runeacape games, and are searching for other similar titles from indies or Deadman Gold
