Thanks for this whole year, happy holidays!

For Nome, I wish many a holy potato cups.

For Peter, I wish many a tasty red mushrooms in his food.

For Scott, I wish some new fancy glasses.

For my uncle Joe, I wish a new pipe and for his mustache to grow back.

For Jason, I wish, er, sorry I don't know you too well, maybe candy?

For JanH, I wish another year of being the not-so-new guy.

For Charles, I wish a year with a lot less bugs in the game 

For the D(Z)ark Lord, I wish another year of stuff working as intended.

And I wish a whole lot of prosperity to any staff members I missed, their families, and just everyone at Klei, especially the janitors. Don't be strangers!

 

Thanks for all of the tears, laughs, and joyous moments!

CHEERS!!!

Do you guys even sleep? A game jam sounds like a lot of fun, but make sure you're all getting rest and taking more than enough time for yourselves. 

lol the game jam can be a little fun and stressful. Some people on the team are known to cheat and spend extra time on it

Any news on the trade-inn winter-mode drops (chests)? Is it not happening this year?

Will we have a chance to get dst style mouse style in the future?

Probably not since it'd need a bunch of operating system specific code to make it work with the various operating systems we support. For instance, I believe we still support WindowsXP. Although technically our game uses DirectX on Windows, we interface with it through Angle and I don't believe it has support for setting the hardware cursor texture.

I know it's a little bit off topic, but what is this "sleeping" thing everyone talking about?

My daughter loves candy, so it won't go to waste. Thank you HowlVoid.

I do want to say that despite the ups and downs, I do think 2021 was a great year for DST. It wasn't perfect, but the Devs did a ton of cool and creative ideas, introduced one of the best designed characters, and took major risks with their concepts, and I think a lot of those succeeded.

Overall, I had a lot of fun playing DST this year. I hope all of the devs have a wonderful break and 2022 goes even better! <3

So kind of a "end of year" party for the company?

Yup, most likely, unless something critical comes up over the weekend. Next week most of the studio is on vacation and the rest of us are participating in our yearly game jam!

Are the new boss ornaments on console?

You should try, it's cool, especially in the morning, when you should to go to school/work

(It's 4:42 AM on my watch)

 

Anyway, Klei, thank you for your hard work!
