This is perfect, seeing as the guys who yearned for multi-player can finally play with other people for the battle of the survival, and the guys who like singleplayer can keep their own opinions to themselves and play it in singleplayer... forever alone...

I hope survival is actually a thing.

This is truly amazing and very welcome news!

 

Don't Starve was a good single player game, but it suffers the same drawbacks as any open-world game does - lack of objectives and, after a certain point, a routine that a player falls into and has no way of breaking out of.

 

With multiplayer, a lot of new paths open up - the game will obviously have to become harder, being even more unforgiving to players who have no idea what they are doing, posing a new challenge to survive. You will need more food, wood, resources to keep going. You will either have to cooperate really well or double down to support you and your friends.

 

It would be amazing if sleeping would actually finally start being a liability. No time skipping = you have to keep the fire going, protect your knocked out buddy, keep him warm/cool! And if they added more frequent/agressive monsters to that...

 

Really can't wait for the early access! Hopefully by "Summer" they mean "soon"

I very much hope so. I kinda imagine sleeping as just a passive way to restore sanity and make you immune to darkness (and maybe immune to everything except hunger) as long as you're in it.

I thought of a new character named Woinka, she's a lot like webber but shes a female pig.

I think of a female pig with a flower in her hair with a leaf skirt

Special: Not very smart (needs help building (this is an example) fire pit or a torch)

Grows a little bit of fur (shaveable and is pig skin)

Starts with a friends house (pig shelter)

Has a beautiful flower in her hair (same effect as flower hat)

Can eat raw meat without losing sanity (like Webber)

Stats: Health:200/250

Hunger: 250/300

Sanity 50/75/100

Starting items: pig shelter

"I want my daddy" (her dad is the pig king)

She's a LITTLE bit smarter then other pigs. Please share I thought a long time about a new character

This is isn't a place to suggest your oc, you've all ready said about it in 3 different fourms.

they are new to the forums, give them a break, instead you could just link the person into a section where they could post it.

regardless.

Any news? dates? So far we only know it's gonna be out for late summer

Oh sweet lord I can't wait for this! I've always said the only thing this game lacks is the multiplayer aspect, without that it is just a really really really good game. I hope you implement different options for the co-op though, like shared map on/off, and shared location on/off. Quick question: If my friend dies, can I eat him? Anyways, let the hunger games begin!

I was just talking to my brother about this the other day when he asked me if there was a multiplayer version of DS. I was like "nawh man, they said NO WAY JOSE to any multiplayer games so don't even get your hopes up."

 

My best friend just texted me this morning telling me about it and of course I'm late and hop on over to the forums and here we are.

 

WELL DON'T I FEEL STUPID. T_T

 

(I actually can't freaking wait, but still.)

Heeh. I'm not sure why most of you guys are reacting badly to this, the bigger DS can get the better, I mean, the work they've done so far is great, well planned and well balanced. 

Think about it, if you think the multiplayer mode will be easy:

1. double/triple/quadruple ammount of food needed to actually survive together, the ressources still being limited.

2. If they think about it, they can add a multiplier (monster power + power x ammount of player)


And then, for those not wanting it, it is OPTIONNAL you don't have to play it if you love it as multiplayer, just think of it as a "everyone's happy with the result" thing.

Next, how much of you guys are judging without knowing? Maybe they are making extra stuff at the same time of the multiplayer, reign of giants was adding giants, but never did they talk about the overall hardcore boost, did they?

And that's quite all, I'm personnally happy with the result, solo was okay for me, but multiplayer just makes it even better in my opinion.
