"Midsummer Carnivals" are a thing in real life, which this event is very very likely based on, where the only thing summer-related about them is that they take place during June.

Maybe the event will be sort of a mix of Easter and Summer kind of like how Winter's Feast seems like a mix of Christmas and Thanksgiving. At least to me. I was truly hoping for something that rather resembled slavic midsommar traditions than easter but oh well. It would fit the theme of the game really well, too. Flower crown skins, searching to find the magic fern blossom at midnight, big bonfires, fortune telling...Ahhh. To mix american easter and midsummer almost feels blasphemous 7 2 2 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/130370-klei-fest-introduction-and-news/page/4/#findComment-1464649 Share on other sites More sharing options...

marebear Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Nice to see a new event. I'm unsure as to why Restobtw is on the list of streamers though because he is a known DST griefer and harbors an extremely toxic and offensive Twitch community...which he has received a ban for in the past. 2 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/130370-klei-fest-introduction-and-news/page/4/#findComment-1464652 Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the promo image it doesn't look at all similar to easter to me. Easter has bright pastel eggs that you hide around and have kids hunt for, not to mention all the bunny stuff. While this looks like a collection of egg-themed carnival games, which each seem really distinct from one another, hosted by crows. The only similarity we can see at the moment is that they both have decorated eggs, which is pretty surface level. 2 1 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/130370-klei-fest-introduction-and-news/page/4/#findComment-1464654 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going forward we are also going to focus on making this time a sort of Celebration of Klei Games. During this two week period we will have a burst of content, items, events, sales and interesting things happening. As an introduction things will be a little less formal this year as we kick things off with a bit of a test run. All Games: We will begin our Klei Publisher sale next week on June 3rd. Hot Lava: June 3rd, Players will Race against Lord Sludge in a special course - secure yourself a win an get a special reward. This challenge and reward are only available during Klei Fest! Griftlands: Griftlands full campaign officially launches as we leave Early Access June 1st on PC and June 4th on PS4, Xbox and Switch. Don't Starve Together: We will be celebrating Klei Fest with a new Yearly Limited time event called "Midsummer Cawnival!". Our survivors will be greeted by the enigmatic Corvus Goodfeather, who needs a bit of help preparing the festivities for his crow compatriots. Decorate, try your luck at the Cawnival games, and maybe even win some prizes! New Twitch Drop Campaign: We will begin a new twitch Drop Campaign for the Leviathan Chest starting June 3rd. Streamers that will have drops available can be found in the spoiler below. Note that this will be the last campaign of this type, further campaigns will be done through our advocates program. See below. Wonderful news!! It's hard to contain the excitement, both for Don't Starve Together and Griftlands! :DD The only bummer pertains Hot Lava; I still haven't played the game, since no GNU/Linux port is available yet and now you announce that there will be a time-limited event with exclusive rewards. This is bad practice, and I am happy that you have made all your previous games available for all major platforms before any event-limited rewards took place, so that everybody had a chance to get them. Other than that.. Two more days to go!

I was stating my personal opinion. Didn't know it'd bring on a shitstorm. And midsommar isn't a typo Just because you're not familiar with something doesn't make me wrong. Why do I """bring ethnicity"" into this? Because if I said Baltic Region Traditions noone would know what I'm talking about, so I said slavic, which is a term that also encompasses it. I don't know why people are being so offended by my statement, lol. I'm just very into this specific holiday and would love to see it in my favourite game. By the way, since I'm guessing you're croatian, bonfires are still a big part of the way your region celebrates it. The celebration varies in different regions but it's usually all about the sun and fire, and that shows all across Europe.
