My concerns about DS : new home.


Recommended Posts

This is not a post about how the game looks terrible, In fact i think Introducing Don't starve to a region like china, Is pretty cool, infact, I believe some of the concepts we've seen for the game is pretty cool (I wont be surprised if people port features to dst), but i do worry about the people incharge of the game, Tencent is a Giant of a company in china, and China Doesn't have freedom of speech. I'm worried over how the chat will work, Will it all be Moderated? how will people for say, in the U.S do if they say anything ""offensive"" to a game ran by a Chinese tech giant, would they be restricted in any sort of way? to be honest it sounds like a disaster in the making if things are handled poorly, one thing im worried about how the servers will be ran, if the company incharge of it is located in china, This worries me over if the servers will be Laggy in people in other regions that are, for example, are in Europe, trying to play a Mobile game, that (hopefully not) Probably will be ran in china. being that its in the other side of the world. it could raise some problems. this isn't Supposed to be Fear mongering in any sort of way, all i ask is for klei to Be careful of what Tencent can or can't do, for what is, Probably Klei's biggest IPs. I very much hope that this game will succeed, but All i am doing is Voicing my Concerns. Thank you for reading all of this.

Actually, china plays DST a lot. They have a vast amount of VERY active servers... so i don't think DS newhome as a way to introduce it to them. Russia and Brasil are also, extremely active in the game (checked on twitch streams and in-game servers popularity)

If anything, the DS saga had only one platform left to be played in: Phones. And apparently Klei did not want to take part in such a compromising task (at least not 100%). I see this as an opportunity to bring phone players into PC or console, where the game has more lore,  an established community, etc.

Also, this allows Klei to keep working on the platforms we already use, wether its new content, characters, skins etc.

Their pompous introduction cracked me up. Let's hope that they are better at developing games than name-dropping IP's and being humble.

While the decision to have a mobile game be developed by a company that has had a rather sketchy history is disheartening (Feel free to check their WIkipedia page to see some of the controversial stuff that they have done), I'm willing to give the upcoming game a fair shake.

If I end up being one of the people who can join the beta and whose phone can run it, I'll make a thread detailing my experiences with the game. I'm rather intrigued of the idea of having a house that can persist and can be customized, but fingers crossed that the execution ends up being better than the idea on paper.

As a Brazilian, can confirm that DST is kind of a big thing around here.
