Developer appreciation post


Recommended Posts

Just wanted to send a thank you towards the devs for all the work they've been doing as well as keeping an ear out for feedback.

You guys, gals and nb pals are honestly awesome and even though we may not always be the most thankful for all you do, you're still probably the nicest developers I know when it comes to how you approach your games and community. It's not easy providing as much as you have, much less on such a consistent basis, and that will never stop being crazy to me.

I'm wishing everyone on the devteam a nice rest of the day and hope you're all doing fine.

That's ok. Me neither. :wilsontea:

Don't worry, we didn't forget you. We love all our favorite developers equally :encouragement:

Out of all the games I've played, only developers at Klei made me think "wow, these people really do love their work". I hope they never lose their passion. And despite most of them being lurkers (you admitted that during streams yourselves, you know that!) I do feel that the community is being seen.

Including that like I got on my fanart. Thanks for that, it really made my day. 

i love zach, he's a Pretty reaL cool dEv! he's AweSomE, he fixeS bugs and otheEr such stuff, like workiNg on the game. probably my favorite Developer working for this game. I couldn't ask for a better person to be on the dev team working on my favorite game don't starve togetHer. hE's also reaLly great at mod support and has made life easier for a lot of modders such as myself and others, and has even written some nice tutorials/documentation for us. he's a good Pal to us : ).

:D:):grin::-D:smile::-):cool2::victorious::friendly_wink::black_eyed::congratulatory::applouse::encouragement:

Honestly, yeah, not enough people take the time to say it.

I cannot stress just how amazing the devs here are. Through think and thin they've always stuck with us, not to mention just how amazing it is to see them all keep their composure when this place gets a bit... rowdy at times. 

Love you guys, keep at it. Excited to see what else this year brings us!

After shaving a Beefalo for the first time and then seeing this... I shall  never shave another. : r/dontstarve

Here y'go.

Anyways, thanks to the devs for putting up with the forums! The forums. 

Really appreciate the work y'all put into the game and your community, glad to be a part of it and looking forward to new updates.

All of the devs for DS, DS Shipwrecked, DS Hamlet & DST are awesome, they have provided me countless hours of entertainment and joy with their fantasy world & wacky characters, and even though Klei has other non DS games on their lineup I’m pretty sure it’s safe to assume that the Dont starve franchise is their most well known one.

It amazes me how they continue to tweak this game, and even make changes to DS solo to include new features such as fences and Beefalo taming- for a game released way back in 2013!! That’s crazy, And Klei should’ve won that labor of love award years ago.

I’m looking forward to seeing what the devs have in store for the future of DST, we gotta get through the current roadmap first, but everything they’re doing now is to set the stage for what’s coming.. and that’s gonna have me in anticipated excitement for the remainder of this year, I also want to thank all the devs who have PM’d me personally to answer a question or clear something up- these guys don’t have to do that.. but they do anyway.. and it’s awesome.

The Annual Hallowed Nights costume event thing where everyone wins has been fun, shows the communities creativity for Klei and their games.

PLUS We got official SHOPCAT Lore here in this very dst forum, and that’s honestly really cool. :wilson_love:

Idk how much klei gets paid for dealing with the forums every day but it’s clearly not enough ngl
 
All funny forum deprecation aside, I do really enjoy the forums (most of the time), and I think that’s thanks to the thoroughly thoughtful people at klei. The amount of care klei has put into satisfying people’s DST-related desires is unparalleled in the game industry.

JoeW is my favorite because I see him as the "boots on the ground" since I see him engage with the forumites often he gives much insight whilst staying professional. 

Despite any attitude or topic I have here klei's devs still have my respect for how much they engage with their players.

Nome liked my meme one time, that was pretty cool of him! Due to the current hour I'm about to head to sleep but developers like these that make me constantly think of a game and anticipate news of the next update constantly cannot go without being appreciated for their dedication. I've enjoyed practically every update, from content, character refreshes, and QoL. Even the bugfixes are something to note for sure (the PS4/5 items past handslot fix was literally a lifesaver) :wilson_blush:
I'd have more to say on the matter but I can't let the Klei craze keep me up at night :wilson_laugh:

We're on Wolfgang rework take three. Winona and Woodie both needed some major tweaks. The first Wes Rework was underwhelming. Turn of Tides was in Beta for months. Changing crafting and farming overhauls spent plenty of time in Beta. With Steam, it's so easy to ship first and fix later, or ship and move on. And I'm so glad that you guys don't. 

Scott, Zark, and the team to the pit of Victory! Dilly Dilly!
