Intermission - Animated Short, Twitch Drops and More.

[-Kiyo-]

So Wagstaff's origin short without him becoming playable, basically... at least yet.
I like this a lot.

Community is getting called out. I appreciate this level of developer sass.

Oh, some ocean QoL next ? Are we seeing some Crab King improvements ? I hope so ! In such a way that players who already enjoy the fight like me become only more satisfied of doing it (AND REDOING IT. He needs better loots, this would also give a reason to practice him un-pearled !), more interactions and less bugs between all the seafaring features (yknow like useless bumpers, grass rafts grab reach, among others...). I hope other players who like it much less can finally get a good taste for it without the fight loosing its qualities. I understand anyone feelings about it because it is not quite intuitive, can be quite clamplicated and it has super little room for variety in fair-and-square strategies to fight it.

Codes with be sent by email. Now I haven't got two skins. It's just a mod that allows you to see all the skins that exist in the game.

By the way I do get two figures. Because I'm Chinese.

I’m a sucker for the small details so I think it’s kinda cool how the Wagstaff we see in above animation is driving the same car he gives Webbers dad the spider contraption in on Webbers short.

Now the only obvious question is which came before? Wagstaff sending Webber to the constant, or finding the Projector to project himself into it?

Also Since the next content update is indeed confirmed to be an Ocean QOL I have but one very small request, Please add the Lotus Flowers from Hamlet DLC into DST, those are very pretty.. and I’d appreciate occasionally seeing those as I stroll through otherwise empty ocean. 
It would be a great way to obtain flowers out at sea to refuel a Sisturn that was built on a boat, without having to return to dry land. Plus- THEY LOOK PRETTY!

I'm a bit confused, so he was a thief?

He's just on a grindset, money doesn't make itself!

[goatt]

Oh I watched the shorts again. Yes, he was.

He had patches on his pants, he was poor

1. he stole the necklace from the first lady

2. he stole the ring from the dad, you can see the ring disappearing in slow mo

3. he stole the pocket watch and the cane from the old gentleman

4. and of course, the projector from the guy who was about to die.

Completely changed my impression of Wagstaff. He's not steoretypical at all.

LORE!!

This clears up some of my confusion about Wagstaff in singleplayer! Now it's clear why he isn't afraid of anything, he can just step out of the projector's light and return home whenever he wants! It also explains the "film reel" effect on low hp: he's just moving a little closer to the edge!
What bugged me the most about Wagstaff's lore were the differences between DS and DST. In the first he can get hungry and injured like he's physically in it and has no unnatural powers, while in DST he's always glitchy, emits light, disappears into thin air and summons tools out of nowhere. I suppose the projector he found brings him more physically into the Constant while Maxwell's Door was rigged to hold him closer to home instead. 
Still gotta figure out what happened exactly when he got physically pulled into his portal in Winona's short and how he got back though.

Oh yea sure just qol and skill trees definitely no new boss and a bunch of new items I believe you klei... Hmm I wonder who is gonna get a skill tree, Webber perhaps? Or maybe Maxwell... Could even be wortox "imagine I actually get them all right"

[LinknAllie]

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[SapoLover]

I am excited, but that happens with every update. I just like DST very much.

I think that he also is a kleptomaniac, given by the amount of junk on his car/house.

[Dr.Webber]

Woooo new lore

[chirsg]

I honestly hope this is an indicator for things to come. It'll be disappointing for new players to see this and forever be expecting a cute little dog fox, just so it would never make it into the actual game.

At this point, Don't Starve is effectively a pretty dead game.

 

Idk. Are paid skins truly not worth making anymore?

[D_Good_Fellow]

Yes, yes, YES!!!!!

I loved the short! (and not just because it validates my anti-Wagstaff/pro-Charlie agenda)

Klei's animations always have amazing attention to detail and this one really makes the most of that. The shot composition and tight editing make the most of every frame. It makes the revelatory moments hit SO much harder, which I really think goes a long way with lore-heavy narratives like Don't Starve.

Well done! This is exactly the kind of content I was hoping for when I learned that Klei was separating narrative animations from game updates. Thank you so much!

Your youtoooz figure already arrived? Mine started shipping this week!  There's no way to get the skin codes online, right?

Any chance during these "Intermission" updates could give us more profile icons? New Vignettes were added and I think these sort of check-in's would be the perfect time to add a BUNCH of new profile icons. It's been so long since we got original ones, excluding the Twitch Drop icons and portraits.

[HowlVoid]

It's good to not see the team on a crunch

Take your time guys, we love a good update.

It looks more like he's just picking up trash that people leave outside, judging from most of the stuff in the trunk of his car

Edit: Nah nvm I just realized he pickpocketed everyone he helped

So Wagstaff is a very very bad evil man who steals from everyone, gives Webbers dad a spider contraption that turns his son half spider, kills his coworker and buries the body I. The floor of Wilson’s house to turn them into WX78 the robot, and above all else leaves a man to die to steal a fancy demon cursed projector?

Im starting to understand why he was so excited to try and make the world end sooner in the Hamlet dlc… lol.

I knew Charlie & Maxwell were the good guys all along! Well mainly just Charlie.. Wagstaff Evil though!
