Shouldn't we know already what's next ?

[ADM]

So what is coming next ? At least in the big lines ? Or in an image ?
I'm content with the new rate of updates if that means they come with more work and consideration on them, at least supposedly, and it's nothing new that we won't all find full satisfaction in the content (had a taste of that already with Staying Afloat, still I'm happy with the biggest half of it).

But... we were suggested that there would be posts / streams / teasers to come while we wait. I don't believe those should be obligations especially if the agenda doesn't allow it and everyone's cooking, and I'm fine about waiting those extra months before the things are within our hands ! Although, I have the feeling we are still in the same very dense fog of complete unawareness from the past few years in terms of what is happening with DST. Shouldn't we be made aware of something already ?

 

Edit : Oh well, at least we know it's a cave update !

It would be quite fun if they gave the community something to fiddle with again. Those lore riddle websites. Apart from that I actually kind of assume those major things won't really appear again as long as Klei is focusing on skill tree stuff. I just like getting surprised in that case, without feeling a need for hints. [Unless it would be for non-character only focused stuff like where that shadow vs lunar thing is going ultimately.]

The end update is probally next for don't starve craft

[luvu2bits]

You are kinda right, they've been pretty quiet in between updates... they were giving more teasers when they threw in a silhouette at the end of each post back when we were getting monthlies
I guess they're just cooking?

I was really hoping that in between updates we could finish some skin sets, even if very small like Wanda's Victorian.

The intermission shorts are cool too and I hope they answer some questions we still have about some characters. With the reworks being done it's harder to get more background on a character so this seems like a good way, but doing puzzles could also be a great way to get more lore on the characters. We still don't really know what the  "One More To Go" is and I've been on the edge of my seat for that.

More Tales From the Constant shorts could be cool too, just to see characters interacting. And you can't forget about the Survival short they did for Wormwood, Woodie, and Wolfgang!

Obviously this is a lot of stuff on the art side and for the animation team, and it's not like I expect all of this to happen, just cool little thoughts! I do think more streams could be cool, even if it's just showing art concepts or something while we get some sneak peaks at what's to come.

I understand they not sharing silhouettes or anything that can fuel crazy theories about future content. If their next update is adding a mob but, because the silhouette, people start talking about entire biomes, new shards or whatever overhyped thing people used to comment about these sneak peaks, that can create a feeling of disappointment

Would be nice to know something,  other companies make dev logs like the ones behind project zomboid or v rising. They said they will communicate more but, considering there is more time between updates, they are being more silent

Didn’t we literally just get the otter update? It’s way too soon to be getting a teaser for something that’s still 2-3 months away.

Klei said we would get 4 substantial updates this year that each contained new content, QoL, and skill tree stuff.

So in my opinion Year of the Dragonboat does not and should not, count as one of those 4 major updates.

That means there’s two more updates they got to squeeze in before the end of this years roadmap.

If I’m doing my maths correctly, that gives us one update in September or October, and the 4th update in December or January before the new Roadmap.

I rather have seldom updates but updates that actually make very noticeable changes (which QoL, new content and skill tree is PLENTY of changes already so this counts more then enough)

I can be patient. I wouldn't want any updates or lore things being rushed. Seriously they can take their time :3 Too many hints could "spoil" the fun, when people may expect something bigger then what the update gets you.

It took a good while before we got teased about the Staying Afloat update. We'll probably get a teaser somewhat soon I think. I'm hoping for a cave related update. The Host of Horrors update made surface rifts more interesting and I hope cave rifts get something similar. There aren't many bosses to really mutate for cave rifts so I think if bosses are added to the cave rifts, these would need to be completely new. Although Ancient Herald could honestly be ported from Hamlet to be a rift boss.

Just in general I want rifts to be expanded on, as a big Terraria fan these rifts remind me of hardmode which I loved. I really like the idea of permanently making the world more dangerous but also more rewarding.

Well uh, speaking of which, lol. We now know it'll be a cave related update and shadow themed so likely has to do with the cave rifts. Nice.
