Pedrolar27 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Since I’ve been part of this community, I’ve always been happy to see new Don’t Starve content. Yesterday, something was announced that surprised a lot of people (aside from those of us involved in the ARG): a new game in the franchise. And of course, as a fan, I feel very proud and excited for what’s coming. But I still feel a bit sad, because we might be seeing the last major content updates for DST. Maybe it’s too early to say. We don’t know what kind of game DSE will be or if it will actually take over as the main title (like what happened years ago when DST took the spotlight over the original Don’t Starve), but what’s clear is that those few minutes of gameplay shown in the trailer already show a lot of ambition from Klei. I don’t want this to be a melancholic post saying that the end of DST is near. Instead, I thought it would be nice if you shared your thoughts, memories, or screenshots of random moments in the game. Feel free to share… And thanks Klei, for DST. If this means the end… 7 1 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/170691-if-this-means-the-end%E2%80%A6/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowDuelist Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 It’s not ending anytime soon, so there’s no need to be dramatic yet. First, they still have a lot of updates to complete. Second, the new game doesn’t even have an estimated early access release date, so that could take a while (probably a year or more). And last but not least, they’ve already confirmed that DST will continue receiving updates, and they will most likely keep both games active for a while. Eventually, once DST sales are no longer worth maintaining, they’ll probably shift all their resources to DSE. So the final update for DST is, at the earliest, two years or more from now. Realistically it could take much longer. I’m basing this on what happened with DS after DST was released. 4 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/170691-if-this-means-the-end%E2%80%A6/#findComment-1860822 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah maybe, but from my point of view DSTs updates take FOREVER to add anything of meaning into the game (if Klei doesn’t just abandon it) Moon Glass crafts, Wonkey Curse & Pirate Raids, even the entire Ocean content itself, just feels like ideas they started, clearly did not finish…. And moved on to do something else (like lunar & shadow rifts & whatever comes after that..) At least with DSE from what little bit we have seen of it, water looks more believable with animations, waves, puddles splashing, things to see & interact with etc.. Instead of being an ocean they added into the game through an update, DSE was designed from the beginning with it already in mind.

I hope 1% of this ETERNITY will be transferred to DS at least for the 100th anniversary of the game.

Frosty_Mentos Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I hope Klei clarifies with bold letters at this point that the game won't stop updating before this gets out of hand. 1 Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/170691-if-this-means-the-end%E2%80%A6/#findComment-1861027 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is that DSE has already shown significant improvements over DST, mainly how characters, items, mobs and attention to detail is given to just how interact with Water. Even if DST continues to get updates after DSE launches I highly doubt that Klei is going to update DSTs ocean to be on par with DSE’s Quality. I can wish for it all day long, but the reality of it is this new game can not come out soon enough, I need to play this game before I die.
