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

[Wenderlly]

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

 

This is mainly why I don't like the idea of multiplaying, I don't see it working at all.

[codysgroup]

I'm sorry all the people I told multiplayer probably wouldn't happen to.

[balard]

YES! YES! YES! YES!

 

The moment I first played the game I wanted it, and I am not even much of a mp fan. I play mostly sp games, but DS will be AMAZING with more people!

[orro]

Everyones all like 'O noe pls noe multiplyr wul ruinn te gme' Then don't buy multiplayer. :3

just saying the multiplayer gonna be free:

"Alright… Now we’re talking! How much is it going to cost?

Don’t Starve Together will be a free expansion for all current owners of Steam / Standalone. Thank you for supporting us!

With the addition of multiplayer, the price of Don’t Starve will go up to $19.99 USD around the time Alpha becomes available."

 

So i guess all who crying now already own the game.

Well first and foremost, I would like to congratulate all you you guys at Klei for this announcement, considering you know how not everyone in the community is for a multiplayer mode in Don't Starve. It takes courage to come back on a decision made previously to dedicate all your efforts towards making this game the best single player game possible. In my opinion, you DID succeed at making Don't Starve (with Reign of Giants) the best single player survival game I had the chance to play, and I am sure you will succeed at making Don't Starve an incredible multiplayer game too. By doing so, you give the chance to other players (who would rather play with some friends) to join this community, without removing anything to the players who prefer to play alone.

 

I will thus remain actively part of this community. I'll do my best to provide you with some constructive feedback and any suggestions I might think of. I'll also be part of any developpement phase possible (alpha, beta, pre-release, etc). Once again, congratulations and good luck for the developpement of Don't Starve Together!

To the people who think there needs to be more content

 

1. multiplayer is new content

 

2. You do realize that the game is fully released? And that RoG was DLC? DLC is OPTIONAL content to the game.

 

As for back-story I'd love more of that too, but that isn't necessarily a coding department as it is a writing and art department.

 

"I want more content!"

 

Well here's new content

 

"NOOO I want different content!"

 

SMH you people sometimes...

[Skull]

[CaptainClam]

Well now. I can't not say I'm not unsurprised about this.

[dunadela]

OMFG I`ve been waiting for this since it came out and I played it on my friend pc at first but now I have got it to and i play it a lot I mean a LOT and i always wanted this feature in this awesome game and it finally came YESSSS Thank You Klei Your AwEsOmE

[toddwerefox]

Important question to developers!

 

Can players kill each other?

 

Your choice will decide who wants a good relationship with friends will buy it or not.

[Amkar]

i wasnt trying to be rude, i'm just serious like that 

 

My apologies, in that case. It just seemed like it at the time.

[dunadela]

This is the best Thing i always wanted to play with this my friend!!!

[GalloViking]

Now, everyone want to play DS with me. Thanks a lot Klei you ruined my life .

If you wanna know it, I'll keep playing solo. I don't want to play with you, or with anyone.

[Scrimbles]

Let the hunger... starving games begin!

[mxsmack]

This is really cool, been suporting Don't Starve because I believe in it but I have accepted the fact of "no multiplayer.

 

Nevertheless these are great news and it will really bring some new players to the family. I'm impressed with this team, you are amazing, thank you for this really fresh and ever evolving game!

 

THANK YOU.

So uh yeah. Was really hoping for more storyline or more adventures. The biggest part of the game was surviving the world by yourself, which everything was balanced around. This will definitely make everything easier. 

 

I think the most concerning thing for me, is the fact this actually happened. It was so concrete, makes me wonder what else is subject to change. Will multiplayer eventually get more perks then single player once people ask for it? Will summer lose its smoldering since people have complained about that? 

 

I went and played vanilla mode to test a adventure mode related bug, and it was so weird lacking the ROG content. It felt like I was playing the shell of the game. It wasn't, it was the core infact. However, multi-player will have the spotlight. Unless they get content only one or the other has, which is always a thing I hated in games because I didn't have the people/systems to do it with. For example: Trading in pokemon to get Gengar.

 

Edit: Oh and what about webber?

Thank you Joe for messing up my brain even more.

At first the pokemon 3rd gen remake thingy and now this.

Not as I wouldn't support DS Together, but for now I have mixed feelings about it

 

Well, i hope you guys from Klei will do quick steps at progressing for this new experience.

How will this make things easier? Now resources will have to be divided amongst four players instead of one. Also, who says everyone would be on the same team?
