I'd certainly be happy to donate some money (and possibly effort) to a good open source terraria-like game. But I certainly wouldn't do so for XNA. It'd have to be something fundamentally multiplatform such as SDL/OpenGL.
There's nothing particularly technically complex about Terraria that I can see to make a clone a difficult proposition, the procedural world generation is really quite crude and massive grid-based worlds are trivial to page.
As I understand it Terraria was never designed for community modding, which is where I see a game like this could really shine. A modular system that allows users to create new biome generation systems, enemy AI, etc. could really boost the richness of the game world.
The Clonk family is interesting but when I've tried the games now and then over the years they've always felt stiff and clunky and I've never been able to get into them from a quick try. Terraria's generic platformer gameplay lets you jump right into the game without any initial laborious learning period. Which is nice.
qubodup: It certainly could have done with a few extra tags, but limiting them to things that are actualy in the image would be a good idea. I trimmed off most of the nonsensical ones.
ceninan: No game, just for kicks.
bart: There is an "ega" tag buried somewhere in there.
It's pretty amazing that you managed to use an array in your game. I've all wanted to do that but never been able to figure out how. I hope you open source your game so that I may benefit from your wisdom.
I'm fine with interships. They are a mutually beneficial relationship. It's a parasitic relationship disguised as mutually beneficial that I consider a scam.
If you want to be taken seriously then provide some evidence that you are legit. eg. portfolio's of past or present interns, previous projects you interns have worked on, etc.
EDIT:

It appears very strongly that you are trying to take advantage of a poor desperate artist to be your slave worker. You do not appear to be able to give them anything in return for their labour, be that wages or professional growth.
You try to make yourself seem legit by making vague claims about some grand internship program, which I trust just about as much as your gallery page where you try to imply that all the assets were made for your projects by your artists and provide no necesary mention of the licensing of the assets nor a courtesy mention of OGA from which you clearly lifted all the assets.
The whole point of the GPL is to ensure that your right to change is preserved.
Blender game engine?

I'm not sure if you're joking, but please do your research before working with this person.

All the assets on OGA have licensing information. Follow the terms of the license and you already have permission.
Your camera is nowhere near isometric.
You've got the axes the wrong way around.
Try x of 60 degrees and z of 45 degrees.
