All About Mysterious Don't Starve PC CD/DVD version | Unshown Early Concept Arts, Assets, Designs and more!


Recommended Posts

Welcome to another episode of my "All About..." column, where I tell you in great detail about the unknown, secret or lost corners of the Don't Starve game series.

Today I will talk about one of the most interesting things about Don't Starve that I've found lately. This is its forgotten DVD edition for PC.

Yes, yes, the game was released in a physical edition not only for consoles, but also for PC! However, it was distributed only in Germany and was unavailable worldwide. And yes, this is an OFFICIAL version.

 

But firstly, I want to say a big thank you for @Third Porkus. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have this access to its disk content and other interesting info about this edition.

Chester Spawning
Just spawns a Chester with Eye Bone near the player when the world loads. It's a new entity tho, not an existing one.
This mod was featured in the video guide on the disc.

The most boring part, actually. Most of the images were copied from the game's Steam page. Some just taken from the internet

Oh gosh, that was A LOT, even more than I could have expected. It took literally two days to upload all the images here, but such content is definitely worth it.

I was surprised that no one had uploaded the content from the disk version publicly, before me. But now a lot of unprecedented content is available publicly.

Hooray!:juggling:

glad to see some of those mobs in Concept Arts be added later in SW and Hamlet
still, there is a lot of unused mob there and I would like they add them

or they could making a mod (mod by dev), I kinda miss the time when they did them

Maybe this year KLei could finally add a bit of new (old) something to Winter's Feast with the Snowman (hostile) mob (with some interesting loot to boost) for example (and certainly more such mobs would be appreciated, like that Yeti thing from arctic biome concept art):

Likewise for Year of the Dragon perhaps close to DF ponds the concept Lava Golem (spoiler below - obviously with updated graphics for current DST visuals) could be a thing in some capacity? One can dream.

I am an enormous fan of there being an official release that has these ridiculous mods built in along with a video tutorial series of some guy with the grainiest microphone ever made.

Also, @Deerclops Mika pointed out that among the Digital Graphics on the disk there was an alternative version of the Don't Starve Disney-like poster

You can compare it below:
