EDIT: Is this made by the DS/DST team or outsourced to tencent? (I won't play it both ways, just need to know, if I need to feel bad about this content not getting into DST (if it's outsourced i don't care about it, it's better if it stays out of DST.))

Klei isn't involved in the development of Newhome to my understanding.

It's being developed by Shenqu games. It's only being published by Tencent.

I feel like so many people here act like it's being developed by Tencent themselves but it's not.

Well if it's not developed by Klei, I don't care about this new content it can have it's own stuff, I won't consider it a part of DS/DST thou. Nothing to be mad about .

But I still think that DST needs a bit update...

...but Tencent still gets paid for publishing the game, no? Klei is still letting Tencent use their IP to make a profit.

I personally most likely will when it comes out, I've since moved long past any concerns I may have about the game anyways; might even start a discord group for the don't starve community as well.

What do you guys think? Yay or Nay?

Of course I will, if it won't be an F2P game with paid content/skins/etc. (which is unlikely since it's a mobile game and the publisher is Tencent Games) and it will be (at least a bit) similar to DST.

Spoiler

jj i almost do not play mobile games except stardew valley, and even then once a month at best.

And what was a new reing and is being RoT?

[1v0]

ANR it's was a good update but too little (for me) Resource Variants is good but changes almost nothing, Diseases ok but I aways catch it in time = only 1 plant suffers from it. beefalo mounts, cool but something you can do without, stone trees was cool too but nothing major. Oh and ANR was like - 2016 or was it 2017. I think (personal opinion) they should have keep adding stuff like this small thing that change the game or keep adding stuff to ANR features.

ANR was the best update so far for me, Thou still too little to affect my survival. Again I want to point it out it was 2016 or 2017 not sure = 4-3 years ago.

Now about RoT, cool we got a sea it changes much no ?! Well... NOP... you can stay on land all the game without building a boat and nothing will change. There is no volcano (like in SW) to make you go there and deal with it, no floods to be wary if you build the base too close to the sea , nothing of that sort so overall for me it changes nothing. Unless you count building boats to use as short cuts between land masses or go there when you are bored. So yea this update was once again good but it didn't have anything to do with survival.

Now what i want is the (yes I will bring that up again) TtA (that gotreworked into ANR I know). - Major changes like alternative seasons (I might be wrong here it was too long ago 2015 I belive). or the ewecus that was a mob that you need to beat in 2 (2 players or 1 palyer + pig), also the poor slipster .

I want content like that, content that forces  you to play multiplayer, that forces you to go and do it as a team, if you don't do it as a team you can't beat it.Here ppl will say - think about the solo players, yea but this is DS-Together for a reason... and there is DS...
Ppl can say the same to me if you want to play SW/hamlet go play DS. I do play that but I want to play it with friends...
I want an expansion level content - like ROG was for DS or SW was for DS or even hamlet, Something that adds new features and mechanics to the survival. The last content like that (for me) was ANR (2016).then again those features didn't affect my survival really that much.
Oh before I forget, I don't want new world ((like caves)thou that will be good too) like in SW/hamlet. I prefer RoG - new biomes to the already existing world, RoT kinda did that but as said they don't affect the base survival...

Lastly with the characters becoming more and more powerful(wich I welcome) I exptected something added to the survival to balance it out, but nop the game is becoming more and more easy... (atleast for me).

The problem with comparing DS to DST is that any and all major updates to the game take place over here.

The plot, skins, character refreshes, etc. don't transfer over and the only major changes we get in solo DS are major DLC releases. (And are there even going to be any more after Hamlet?)

DST isn't just a mutliplayer mode, it's a sequel.

And something that really needs to get through a lot of player's heads is that it's not a competitive game, content can be just for the sake of it instead of solely existing to make the game harder. It's like people want the learning curve to be impassibly steep or something.

I get what you are saying, and this is for me i can't talk about what others think, Im here for the survival I admit it, the game can be made harder but also let the early steps stay the same - add the hardcore stuff like 2 years in the game (survival time not server time).

As a player that played DS (even before RoG) that played all of DS. This... this learning curve is far far far gone for me...I want the learning curve to continue with the endgame not just end and stay at that end (like it has for years now). so ppl(me) that have done it all don't get anything new to do,to survive in my case.

Don't you think that for all those years DST has been out, many players passed this learing curve by now? Maybe add a mode that is for the hardcore palyers and keep the normal like it is now, this way both new and veteran players will be happy. I dunno if it's even possible thou.

If this is still a survival game I want the survival part if not well then just make it clear that now it's a cosmetic social game with survival parts in it...  (no disrespect to the skins, I like them too but that is not the reason i play (played now i don't play) DST)
But anyway there is hope the next update could make me eat my words (hopefully )

But I will stop here before I derail this topic even more from it's title. Back to lurking and watching what next updates bring.

I think we already have a hardcore mode in game. Only you neet to set all enemy mobs to "lots" to have tentacles, merms, spiders everywhere, turn off lights... and set land branches to "lots" (idk if was option for even more), which should shatter world in a way which complicates good bases and dont forget to turn off bushes, carrots etc.

Yeah, Tencent brokered the deal and presumably gets a cut of the profits because they arranged it, but Tencent doesn't own Shenqu, nor does this licensing deal mean Tencent (or Shenqu) owns a stake in Klei or in the broader Don't Starve IP any more than the Funko Pop company does.

Not wanting to fund Tencent's bad business practices by buying Newhome content is legit and I don't want to cast aspersions on that part, but I'm not really worried about Tencent turning Newhome itself into spyware or using this deal to corrupt Klei.

[Brubs]

The game looks nice and all for a mobile phone. Personally i don't enjoy playing mobile games or games on the phone (I even play Among us on PC)

So I'm not very likely to play it. I will surely check the wiki to see what mobs/lore the game displays though as i love DST's story even if this is a spin off or whatever.

[Stonefruit]

Honestly, I'm willing to give it ONE shot. It may not be canon, but it might have some interesting concepts or even some insight into canon-lore (unlikely, but hey, maybe maybe maybe.) I don't expect much, though.

That being said, for as long as Tencent is involved (whether developing or publishing or anything else,) I'm not giving a single direct-cent to that app. I will happily throw my money at Klei, but not Tencent. --And if they start throwing paywalls and constant ads at me, that app goes bye-bye.

Oh boy, that is even worse. Allow me to explain. I once was an invested player in a game called "Dragon Nest" a popular MMORPG with millions of players back in the day. The servers had its ups and downs but it all went downhill when Shanda games (it's the same Shennqu games) took over for developing the EU region. They didn't put in a single work into managing servers, so things like freezes and displacing your charachter from the original spot was a common occurence. On top of this, imagine you play for a long time and one day two years of your playtime data is completely wiped out, like a hard reset. That isn't a joke.
