I was thinking about Porting Terraria For the Xperia Play. If I proceeded to do this, How many of you would play it/donate for it?

If you do decide to port it, I would consider doing it through the Playstation Suite SDK, that way you have a single app that works across not just the Play, but the PSVita too. Heck, it could be a killer app for the Playstation suite if you did do it!
I say ... yes. It's a great game.

PSVita, and Playstation Suite
Yeah don't own a Vita, nor will I ever. However I might consider doing that, after I take the source code for the Java application (seeing as its coded in C# I have to Decompile it in something like MonoGame and rebuild as a APK) I might put it into Playstation Suite. Definitely something to consider. However right now i'm focusing more on just making it an APK.

I am absolutely for this idea! It would be great to play terraria on our Plays ;-)

The PS Suite SDK uses C# as the language of choice. If the game has the source code in that language it should be easier to bring it to the Suite and use the tools that it provides to create the APK.

Really now? I had no idea! Gonna look into it. Really the only problems would be GUIs and other controls. Any Suggestions?
Unless you're the original dev of Terraria, I highly doubt you have the rights to perform such a port.
The Devs of Terraria stopped all work on it. There will be no upcoming updates, no thoughts of dlc, nothing. People have made Mac wrappers and Linux Wrappers for it, Why not make an apk.

If i'm in the wrong here and someone doesn't want me to even try. I won't do it.
Another thing: I will somehow make it so you have to use the EXE to play the game, meaning you need to buy it to play it.

The touchscreen is part of the Xperia Play controls too, don't forget. People don't mind using it for menus and the like, even though they complain about them on gameplay. The touchscreen may enhance game play as well, and that's up to the Wii U to prove. Keeping touchscreen compatibility in mind would make your port expandable to other platforms as well (non-Suite Android devices, iOS). Just like Minecraft, you could have the game being Suite-exclusive for a while and then expand it to other places.

It's definitely very reliant on .net, however mono does very well with this and so far with the work I've done with PSSuite, XNA and .net based things wont be too big of a struggle.
