Bring back the Purple Dusk!

I feel like the first person to address this..

 

 

Don't Starve used to have this beautiful purple tint at dusk, but after an update it changed to this:

 

Now it looks bland and boring. It literally hurts my eyes to see through the darkness.

 

So I'm requesting some changes to the visual aesthetics, I want the purple tint back! This small detail was able to convince me to buy the game, and it helped me to be fully immersed with the game's atmosphere. Even the artwork agrees with me!

 

 

Good suggestions:

We used to. None of the recent great suggestions have actually been implemented. On another note, I 100% want this, it was nice to have a differentiation for each phase. And Dusk strains my eyes too.

Maybe it could be seasonal? The warm tint it is now would work best for Summer/Fall, and the purple one for Winter/Spring? Then both parties are happy!

Wow, that's interesting!

I miss that tint

Bring it back!

It does look nice, but just like the giant sphere island it's not coming back. However it would be nice if there was an option for this.

I disagree, Kevin explicitly said that the giant sphere islands were removed because they were bad game design. Klei didn't say anything bad about the visual aesthetics of dusk.

 

I believe the community has influence over Klei's decisions, especially with the suggestions that aim to make the game more awesome.

I'm sure this wouldn't be too hard for someone to mod in.

 

I don't really have any experience with color cubes and overlays and whatnot though.

I wish for everyone (who has Don't Starve) to experience the beauty of dusk. I don't want it to be exclusive as a mod, just for those who feel particularly nostalgic.

Yeah I do recall soemthign about Kevin saying somethign like that, I also recall someoen saying it wouldn't be possible to mod those in.  Yeah but lately I haven't been liking Klei so much and what they're doing with the game, but that's just me.

I guess they can redeem themselves by bringing back the dusk.

 

Honestly though, all companies tend to be lukewarm after their huge successes. It's our expectations that let us down!

Doesn't 'everyone' else get a say in what they want?

 

Perhaps it could be an added option in the world gen. then people have the choice without use of a mod. (or in the settings so it can be turned on and off after starting a game).

 

I like both. The dusk it is currently and the purple tint it was. I'd just like the option of being able to opt out of the purple. I have to admit I like the dusk now > purple tint. 

[emrextreme 53]

I'm glad they removed it.

[Strangerdanger101 417]

I like the dusk now better.

But IF (And this is a really big IF) they ever add Pyro the dusk must be purple. Must.

[Snob 1,272]

Option #3 added to the poll, toggled multiple choices.

[Colev 11]

I like the one we have now better.

I don't have screenshots though, but before the "A little rain must fall update" each boime would generate in a sphere shaped island, they would all be connected b thin bridges of cobblestone. I'm terrible at explaining things but I'm sure you can find screenshots of how the wolds use too generate.

At one point it was like this too

[PlusFiveCharisma 51]

I kind of go either way. Sure the purple is pretty and works well with the atmosphere of the game, but the lighting affects look much better with the new dusk. The way the fire pit lets off that yellow-y circle of safety feels much nicer to me personally. If they put the purple tint back in as an option, it would take a whole re-working of the light systems.

Oh my that old dusk, it feels so... magic.

[d3v1n96 107]

I almost forget how many little things like this there are to miss.

I think the thing I miss the most about the old Don't Starve... was the spider.

 

Y'know, the spider that would dangle down when you opened up Don't Starve and hiss at you before sidestepping away? I've missed it ever since it left.

[orian34 534]

what's that?

[Decelexevi 42]

When did they change that? Must have been a while back because I've never seen that hue. Like it a lot, though.

 

Maybe they just thought there wasn't enough darkness to make life more difficult under those conditions.

What's with all the people hating on Klei and saying they've been doing a bad job recently? I think Klei has been doing a freakin awesome job recently. Ther adding MULTIPLAYER for gods sake! Do you people not appreciate how awesome that is?
