[GetNerfedOn]

Next on my list of questions, What do you think of Don't Starve Newhome? Yay or nay?

As always, do answer of your own free will and discuss in the comments!

I'm worried the game will not add to the main lore of the game since this is a separate writing team. So we'll never see official dev art of the cast interacting with the game creatures. We might as well consider this non-canon.

I think we'll get some neat designs from it, but other than that I don't expect much.

I'm not going to judge it before it's released, but it's a mobile game published by Tencent with a trailer that didn't look nearly as quality as Klei's, so I won't be surprised if it's not very good.

More logs to the fire...

Me seeing this poll... 

Spoiler

Anyways, the second and third questions have the "I voted "No strong feelings."" option, but the first one has no "No strong feelings.". You might want to add that?

Also, just for the sake of correctness: the game is published, not made by Tencent, the devs are Shengqu Games. But I suppose that doesn't matter much regarding this poll.

tencent has a (deservedly) very poor record with carving up games for monetization. i don't feel that they'd recut their sails on this one and expect to see some scandal over it 6 months down the line if it does get released.

Thanks for clarifying

A lot of these responses can't be picked until the game actually comes out. We still don't really know anything about it and everything else is just speculation.

Really liked the new clockworks designs, nothing to add besides that since the game didn't even release yet.

[TemporarySolutn]

When it comes to game development? Yes. When it comes to boarding a plane or getting your favorite food at a restaurant? No. Absolutely never.

I'd like to say that the latter two never happens, but unfortunately we don't live in a world where crab cakes are a top priority to chefs; and that my friends is the sad truth.

That "Research subject" line still gives me Sword Art Online/Apeture Science vibes.

All I care about is whether there will be skins brought to DST (like with DS DLC) as I'm not actually interested in New Home at all, and it doesn't look like there will be any reward skins so...

My only worry is that Tencent has their grubby hands on it. Crappy customer care aside, they are obligated to give any and all information they gather from you to the Chinese government (as they are based in China). Granted, the US Government does similar things under the radar.

Fun fact, Tencent are the guys behind TikTok. TikTok was busted for gathering a LOT of personal information they had no right to gather, along with doing really shady stuff like having TikTok download and unzip .zip folders onto your device, which is a planet-sized red flag for a mobile app.

My point is Tencent absolutely shouldn't be trusted, and because they're involved in the project I have to be VERY worried and careful about said project.
