lemmethink Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Hello Klei, has development for Don't Starve shifted entirely over to DST? If so that would be disappointing; there are some of us who still spends significant time on the standalone and would like to see some of the new developments from DST officially migrate back into the standalone game... Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer ImDaMisterL Posted December 6, 2016 Developer Share Posted December 6, 2016 Lore-wise, nothing from DST should be ported to standalone, because DS is Maxwell's creations while DST is Charlie's. Some stuff might be, in the future, but don't get too hopeful. Plus, I'm pretty sure their main focus is on ANR, ONI and Hot Lava right now.

Daray Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Indeed, but things like some beefalo riding equipment, mushroom farms or whatever created by the player and not already existing in the world wouldn't brake the lore, like all that's not strictly related to multiplayer mechanics wouldn't brake the gameplay. Is rather sad seeing all the efforts converge into DST while, back in the days, the team's policy was to not consider a multiplayer developement at the expense of the single player experience. Don't Starve still remains a great and complete game, but the fact DST has content that would fit well in DS cannot be denied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosten Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 That said, at this point is there any reason for you to play standalone DS over DST? Other than the Shipwrecked DLC (Which wasn't the most popular expansion to begin with.) It seems to me like DST has everything DS has, and then some.

lemmethink Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 I was under the impression the new boss creatures were balanced for multiplayer instead of individuals. I do happen to like Shipwrecked as it has a different vibe from the victorian gloominess of the original. It would be nice to have officially have the mushrooms additions and gates and domestication in the original game instead of mods. Well, whatever will be, will be.

They are. Let's just think the Bearger and the Goose/Goose have the highest HP in DS, with a value of 3000 each. The Bee Queen has 22500. The Toadstool has 52500 (!!!). Plus...

In addition to several game mechanics, just think about the increased HP many mobs have and the overall resource abundance in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cptCalavera Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 They are still pushing updates in form of bug fixes. mainly concerning mechanics with world merging, seasons, daycount, volcano and ruins. And a few other things. I haven't heard anything official about more content. But personally I would love to see some of the mechanics and items from DST to end up in single player.

I'll admit my internet isn't great but I can play other games without too much lag issues. I also find issues with people picking up all the flint and taking all the twigs around the spawn entrance -- as a beginner in DST --- how can you possibly survive without being forced to rely on other players who may not want to share their resources to help? Maybe they need to divide servers b regions to make it better. Maybe they need to make the spawn entrance area only available to new players to pick flint/twigs (anyone over 1 day cannot re-enter to pick resources or something but that would affect respawns).

I still have feeling that DS is perfect for single playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentlemanFridge Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 When I booted up Steam today, Don't Starve started updating itself. No idea what's new though, haven't had the time to check it out. Probably just bug squishing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatBurger Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I just think focus is on DST because of how it's the most popular and most ludicrous. It's also driving the storyline more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madman666 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I am hoping too for a port of some quite interesting stuff from DST to DS RoG and SW, like tree petrification, grass gekkos and juicy bushes... And a lot more of mobs, items and etc. - that isn't really tied to multiplayer. But I am pretty sure by this point the only reason they keep bug fixing DS is for people to not kick up the whinestorm, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dronuspk Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Yeah it's lame how they left their claim to fame behind like that. DST is laggy as hell. Oh well, it is what it is. Maybe when their other projects don't do as well as DS did, they will return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohberall Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Yeah you get mad at DST because a 4 year old game isn't getting updated every day. I'd accept it if you said it about Shipwrecked, but the base game/RoG, they don't need anything else. DST is laggy because the host is laggy, if the host's pc is a potato obviously you will constantly get disconnected, but if the host has a beefy PC or is hosting a dedicated server, it won't do as bad. The max "lag" i get is the yellow warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroknot Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 There's hope, in the form of a YouTube comment Klei made about a month ago on a reupload of their DST trailer: Whether or not this is continued development on SW (which to me is the likely case), or something all new, is unknown.

b1b3r0n Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I hope we'll have a new dlc for DS like they did in SW. as they have separate the 2 games, I think they can have a team for DS and a team for DST. imo I see DST is lore and MP while DS is more "Wilson adventures in strange universes" I've wrote it once, but I think an "arctic dlc" would perfectly fit the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aigarsx Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 they could just make it when you play DST alone it automaticly scales down or something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
