Don't Starve Together -- Multiplayer Alpha Officially Coming Summer 2014

[_Q_]

I don't see it working atm, what players will do?

Build walls and put different kind of floorings around?

 

Need more information about how it will look like.

[Well]

i'm just feeling this game will become easy ...

[OctoberWulf]

So freakin' excited right now. Yelled at my friends at Steam and now we're all excited. I can't wait.

[PopcornTattoo]

oHO NMYG DO I'M SOE XITED OK I'VE BEEN PRAYING I'VE BEEN HOPING FOR THIS TO HAPPEN PRAISE THE LORD JESUS

[JamesBrGamer]

What the hell? That was amazing! Clever, Klein.

[TexWiller]

Wow yeaaah

[OctoberWulf]

So freakin' excited right now. Yelled at my friends at Steam and now we're all excited. I can't wait.

Why are some of you so disappointed and upset?

 

I mean what is your reasoning, besides Klei's initial dislike of the concept? Are you guys just hopping on the multiplayer hating bandwagon because it was so cemented into your heads that Don't Starve multiplayer is bad?

 

If Klei is convinced that this will work, I'm convinced that this will work. Don't Starve turned out great. Reign of Giants turned out great. Some of you need to take a good long look at this, longer than you have, because you are acting as if this shatters everything good that Klei has done.

 

That's sad, guys. That actually makes me sad.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing what Klei does with it.

Honestly, I wish they added a bit more to the game before adding multiplayer, like the summer creatures we wanted so much, and some fixes and stuff, besides that i wish we had more of the characters backstory, but all of those things will probably take a darn long to get made if they focus on multiplayer before those. I (kind-ish) trust klei, so I'll wait before saying anything conclusive of what i think of all this.

[MycoLogical]

All right guys;and gals; be prepared for the 1000's of SEEE I TOLD YOU THEIR WUD BE MULTPLAYER !!!!1!!! threads.

[NotCrazyNotCrazyNotCrazy]

Pro tip: If you don't want to play multiplayer, don't play multiplayer.

[Delta/V]

I knew it was coming, just like I knew it was going to happen to Kerbal Space Program. Multiplayer makes everything (except SimCity) better.

[PopcornTattoo]

to all the people who say they're going to quit playing because of this:

 

good

[buttercup]

Yeah, its terrible! How dare they add something that many people would like! Is your game after all!

 

Seriously, what's the big deal with this? I personally won't use it frequently but there is so much you can add to the game before it gets overflow with useless things, this is the most logical step.

 

Ah, I'm sorry, that did seem pretty *******-ish in retrospect. Mostly I'm just sort of bummed because I was expecting something a lot cooler to come out of that puzzle. I don't much like multiplayer games as a rule, they bring out the worst in people. (Like me, right now.)

The issue with that is that it's not actually "multiplayer or new content". They brought in people to do this, if you read the announcement thread. They likely decided they were done adding specific content before thinking of multiplayer. If they didn't add something, it's not because of multiplayer, it's because they didn't see a need for it.

[OctoberWulf]

Oops accidentally posted twice since I was lagging but still I cannot contain my excitment.

 

I find it funny on the people hating on it. Is not gonna ruin the game and it freakin' free for god's sake.

 

 

[Kittiko]

I just woke up and accidentally clicked on facebook instead of checking the weather to find this announcement. I'm awake now! Thank you guys so much! This means I need to make the boyfriend go get DS >=3

[PocketChicken]

[PatchDotexe]

It was surprising picture, can't wait until next one. 

I'm an Android, if it Maxwell and Charlie. The same thing against other characters of the game. 

Am I an Android now? Well heck.

[TheKingofSquirrels]

This is a reality...=D

[porps]

wow i did not expect this... cant wait to see how it plays i really i have no clue how it's gonna work

[JYM]

I always know that if there is coming a multiplayer version, then it will be free and optional for us to play it. However, i disappointment, because it also means less Klei's work in developing and fixing bugs of single player.

[DirtyDan]

 

In all seriousness though I'm yelling at all my friends screaming how happy I am. I LOVE YOU KLEI!

[Lintu]

OMG :flipsthetable:

[Krasen]

a BIG Thank you from me !

 

 

 

 

I feel the same when I heard Demonoid was back

 

/* I have purchased the game, but I did pirate a early access version, and that grabbed me to get the real thing */

Although I come from a background of MMO's I prefer games like this single player, I play Minecraft, Starbound, D3 all single player, I will reserve judgement on multiplayer to see what it holds.  Most likely, unless I find a "good" group of multiplayer people, I would stick to single player.  The group makes all the difference.
