Who is the next character?


Recommended Posts

Fun fact.

On the Don't Starve / Together discord, Joe revealed that the next DLC character will be a brand new character, ie not someone that's unimplemented.

Joe has also said that Woodie's rework is done for the most part, and they already started working on the next character. (I am expecting to see Woodie's rework reveal next Thursday.)

I can't wait to see what, or who they have in store for us!

which discord server is it ? O.O

Winona - March 7th

Wortox - March 28th

Willow - May 7th

Wormwood - June 6th

Warly - July 25th (im seeing a pattern)

Woodie - Early September (almost finish according to discord)

W?? - Early October

Wendy - Late November

Wicker - Early January

JoeW also mentioned in that string of Discord comments that the next character was being worked on before Woodie, but was moved back so Woodie could be handled first.
So it's probable that NextCharacter is still the next character. The timing matches up.

A few lines from Wortox's speech file.

 

        NEXTCHARACTER =
        {
            GENERIC = "Hyuyu, what are you up to %s?",
            ATTACKER = "Don't get my goat, little %s!",
            MURDERER = "Eep! Don't slaughter me!",
            REVIVER = "Thank-you, thank-you, little goat!",
            GHOST = "Don't worry, I'm not hungry.",
            FIRESTARTER = "Little goat! You played pranks without me!",
        },

I hope it's not another furry...or plantsona... :wilson_curious:

...honestly though, yea. I have a strong suspicion that the next new character will be William/Billiam/Goat Kid, but I hope that the last character is some sort of...person? With flaws and goals and a purpose for doing things and stuff?
If the new designs all turn out to be nothing but innocent furries who can do no wrong Imma be disappoint.

There's too much purity lately, we need some reverse pallet cleanser.

Just because the new character was hinted at to be a goat doesn't mean that they'll be Billy, or a chef. They could be another, brand-new goat. Maybe a human who got turned into a goat or something, to make them more interesting than "just a friendly goat."

But I'm still thinking that the fact that the "nextcharacter" quotes are in Wortox's files means that it's just a red herring, since Wortox is the prankster. And there will be no goat.

Part of the reason people suspect Billiam is the quote about the Goat slaughtering things.

I don't think Wortox took anyone's spot; rather, he's the one speaking to the NextCharacter, so I think that much was part of the plan. Woodie jumping forward a spot was the shakeup.

I agree and have summed up my ideas in this

(ignore the Warbucks parts please)

(except for the battle cry thing that is something I refuse to let go and has no reason to not exist)

If we get Billy as a new character, part of me wants him to have his exact same model from The Gorge rather than giving him the same body type as the other survivors. I think varying body types could be interesting.

"Interesting" but an insane amount of work, and continual upkeep. It's not feasible.

Klei has done some insane things, so you never know, but it's definitely a stretch.

Oh, yeah, definitely. I'm not expecting anything like that to happen at all. Of course it'd be easier to just reuse the same basic skeleton/model every other character uses. 

Sometimes it just niggles at me how everyone in the game has the exact same build, the same height and weight, despite the cast being from varying ages and health. It's jarring enough seeing NPC Maxwell go from a tall and lanky adult to a smol baby, I'd probably feel the same if big chubby Billy got chibified and lost half his weight because of it. 

That's all understandable, of course. The "chibi characters" work well within Don't Starve's artstyle because it's a simpler indie game that can't really afford to have the characters be tall or anything or else it'd break said artstyle and look odd in comparison to their surroundings.
