Starbound, an indie game being developed by Chucklefish is getting a lot of attention lately. The 2D sidescroller which is most commonly compared to Terraria has been in development for quite some time. Now it appears as though the team is gauging interest in a possible PlayStation port. Whether fans want to see it on the PS3, the PS Vita, or even the PS4 is up to them. They've made a thread on the European PlayStation forum, and simply want to know how many people are interested. If you'd like to see a PlayStation version of Starbound, make sure to leave a comment for them so that you'll be heard.
The latest episode of Dev Diary is a chat with Adam Riches from Chucklefish studios about his work on Wargroove, Starbound and more.
Terraria was a smash hit selling ten million units and still growing, and not only showing that Re-Logic was a force to be reckoned with but it also showed that Minecraft did not have to be the only building game. Rather than going for a straight clone of Minecraft, Terraria moved to a 2D adventure game, that had a wealth of combat, and bosses as well as a more meaningful progression than Minecraft. Overall, Terraria was an impressive game.

I really, really love Terraria. Can't wait for the Vita port! I hope Starbound turns out great, because I'd totally jump on that bandwagon.
@Majiebeast (for the report) - N4G does state that you can use forum/Twitter posts if it's by an industry professional. Meaning a developer I would assume? Since this is by the developer of the game, would it not qualify? (Just asking to be honest, I tend to avoid posting bits of news because I'm often confused as to what is allowed and what isn't.)
If it's not allowed, I'll go ahead and remove it. :]
Double post, sorry. Quick, everyone disagree with this comment! D:
Cool for gauging a crowd but I would hate them decide that PS is what they will do next before the PC version is done and take some people off from finishing the PC version to start porting to PS and delay the release even longer. (Not saying this will happen just would hate it if it did)
The one thing I love about Starbound and the team developing the game is they update people daily on what they have been making and its moving along at a very nice speed right now. They also have a roadmap so people can see what is left to do and what has been completed.
Cant wait for the PC release. I dont own or plan to own PS products but I think games should be made on as many platforms as possible/(profitable) so more people can play them.
Pretty much every vote in that thread votes for Vita. That makes me very happy :)
