Szczuku Posted June 20, 2024 Share Posted June 20, 2024 Tbh the inclusion of Shipwrecked, Hamlet, Forge and Gorge feels more insulting than it does nostalgic. I mean, not only this isn't a whole decade of don't starve being a thing, this isn't even the right date, so the 'nostalgic trip down the memory lane' just doesn't work Also that just doesn't seem sincere, more like a management's decision. I very much read that as 'Hey, look at all those ds/t things that we left to rot! Forge and Gorge? Nope, not getting anything. Hamlet and Shipwrecked? More like Final and Update (for singleplayer)' I'm very much hopping that I'll be taking those words back by the end of the year but... the big J above already shattered that hope Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/157355-new-skill-trees-and-staying-afloat-update-next-thursday/#findComment-1727359 Share on other sites More sharing options...

We said we were DONE with DS after Reign of Giants, then we grabbed a team to help us and put shipwrecked together - to make fans happy. We put together Hamlet afterwards utilizing the team that was born as a result of Shiprwrecked to make the team happy and then said we were done, again. We then put out the Home Sea Home update, again - to make fans happy and again, said we were done. Because we got a bunch of requests, we hired a mod creator who made a ton of fixes for the game to join the team to get out a couple MASSIVE updates, including QOL additions from DST. We didn't leave it to rot. By no stretch of the imagination. You could argue that you would like us to have done more - fine. But we did more. A significant amount more. DS was "done" a long, LONG time ago. You could argue that you can expect more because we have said we were done a bunch of times, sure. But - to treat this like we're being jerks is just silly at this point. As far as Forge/Gorge - We knew people were gonna get in a huff about it. And frankly, we're not going to be scared to talk about our own stuff because people are gonna be cranky at us. As we have said before, maybe we will revisit it. Right now, we have other stuff to do. 1 minute ago, Squidyfoo said: Why is Walter on the picture for this pack, when he is not an unlockable character and, according to the description, has no costumes or anything in the pack itself. Walter was originally designed to be a DLC character and then we decided to add him to the game as a gift to fans. So when the bundle was setup, he got added in. We're correcting it.

Squidyfoo Posted June 20, 2024 Share Posted June 20, 2024 This is a really cool video that, in my opinion, DOES show how much the creators care about Don't Starve. I really love this game, community, and dev interaction that assures me they truly do care. Not just about the game but also what the community thinks of the game, and their opinions and ideas. I don't know why I wrote this, but it was something I wanted to say, and hey better late than never.

marshyds Posted June 20, 2024 Share Posted June 20, 2024 Does the rift watch emitting sparks mean something (besides being an electrical hazzard) or is it just for style points? Other than that, fun animation! It's nice seeing Wanda present in animations after her own and the newhome style switch was really cool looking!
