Don't Starve Together: Intermission - Animated Short, Login Reward and More.

[JoeW]

Hey everybody.

It's intermission time again. As we prepare for our next update, we'd like to take a moment to fill you in on a tasty bit of lore and also give you some cool stuff while you wait. 

As we approach the conclusion of the lunar arc, some plans begin to take on a life of their own. 

From Beyond - Lunar Machinations
The most innocent discoveries often spark the greatest advancements—but in the hands of the ruthlessly ambitious, they can unleash horrors beyond imagination. Steel yourself for the final phase of the lunar arc.

Now on Klei Rewards
More skins previously available as limited-time Twitch drops have been added to Klei Rewards. The "Nouveau Frigid Firepit", "Nouveau Tent", "Rosy Red Cane", "Rosy Red Amulet", "Rosy Eyebrella", "Rose Bushel", "Rosebloom Bearger Vest", "Polar Bloom Bin" and "Rose Thorn Trap" can all now be gained for free through Klei Points. 

Login Bonus!
Klei Publishing just launched Lab Rat. Lab Rat is a hand-crafted narrative puzzler masquerading as a machine-generated video game. This satirical adventure stars a metrics-obsessed AI who will monitor, profile, and guide you as you solve over a hundred unique spatial problems.

To celebrate, we have added the "Spectraflux Pack" backpack skin in Don't Starve Together. This shockingly attractive Backpack skin is now available as a login reward for a limited time. Simply log into Don't Starve Together and get yours before it's gone.

For more details about Lab Rat, you can check it out on Steam, Xbox, or Epic. 

That's it for now
We don't have an exact date for the next update just yet, but we're approximately halfway there, with the beta dropping a couple of weeks before that.

We know that some of you are feeling frustrated with the lack of information provided by a long-term roadmap. We understand and apologize for that, but we don't want to spoil upcoming plans before certain things happen in the game, and before we're far enough along with our post-arc development to communicate that to you. 

But rest assured that these plans are entirely based on your love of Don't Starve, the lore, and our desire to do the best that we can to return that passion and support. The game has a great future ahead of it, and we can't wait to share those details with you the moment that we can.

[SirToastyToes]

Oh that wacky Wagstaff, what crimes against nature will he think of next

[CyberSkink]

Klei, as long as you don’t cancel don’t starve, I’ll be happy with pretty much anything.

Try validating the game files to make sure the game is up to date if it is not up to date the game will not show the item anywhere.

The game needs to update first, try restarting your computer

i can do that but i think the error seems to be your side since the rewards page says something kinda weird as well;

[Kesia]

I’m glad I could help! Have an amazing day!

[deadtaco0]

i hope we are going in Large Iron Hulk direction

[DSTUser]

i knew this was gonna happen today!

[mkemal23]

If I had a nickel every time Wagstaff captured a Lunar gestalt and used it in his contraptions, I'd have two nickels.

Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

[Well-met]

inb4 dst's own iron hulk

[fabin]

just as i was messing around with wagstaff's leitmotifs, lol

 

 

[Szczuku]

Boy oh boy, am I excited for yet another boss as a highlight of an update

The animation was a very nice watch, props to the artists involved

[Dr. Safety]

Wagstaff content!

Awesome animation as always Klei

Edit: Also I didn't realize that the lunar arc was coming to an end. Does that suggest that shadows will win the war, or is this just gearing up for the full on civil war arc?

[IR1]

Animation looks clean, props to the Animators!

[Dragonboooorn]

I wonder if Wagstaff is finally testing a way to teleport things from Constant to real world. Peak concept, and fits "end of lunar arc" too, But my hopes are very low for Klei at this point. They are milking content and are adding forced out of place crossovers.

Why do you think they are milking content?

[Evelo]

Interesting to see Gestalts being capable of possessing mechanical things. Quite the implications.

This is very very nice to hear ^_^ 

Was worried in the wortox, Wendy, Walter skill tree post that the game was in trouble, very comforting to hear otherwise, sounds like big and cool things are coming. Excited <:

Might re-read this everytime I wake up to get excited for the future lol

Skill trees for example. Basicly character rework 2.0

This kind of update can be repeated forever at this point, considering how many things Klei add and change. So adjustments are always needed. Instead of making game content first and then updating characters, they do it in reverse.
