Don't Starve Pocket Edition? More like Apple Edition.


Recommended Posts

I totally understand that this game has gone far and beyond and is now playable on your mobile device, which is Awesome, but your forgetting the other side of mobile gamers out there, Android Gamers and the fact that it's put out their as "Pocket Edition" when it's only playable on I- pads and new iPhone brands is very misleading. I'm just mainly curious as to why hasn't their has not been any news about it coming to android devices? I'm sure with a few minor adjustments you'll be able to get this game running well on certain Android devices just like what your doing with Ipads/Iphones and I have seen it happened with plenty of other great games out on the market being on both Android and Apple devices.

Oh yes because we all know that while Klei is working on 4 things at once making the game completely from scratch for a new platform is #1 on their priority list.

 

I'm getting tired of this. Yes, we all know that it's not for any devices besides iOS, and Yes, we know you don't like that. Is Klei going to add other platforms? Yes, why wouldn't they. It's just not hot on their plate at the moment, with Shipwrecked, Caves, Skins, Bug fixes, balancing, and redesigning, adding a completely new platform is very,very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very low on their priority list at the moment.

Dud jus git ifone androd sux. (But seriously, Klei is super duper busy right now. What with the whole DST update, the Invisible inc DLC, and the total makeover of shipwrecked I doubt they barely have time to go poopy.)

How about a prediction on how many months? I'm never informed on specific information,  so I guess I'll rely on the community(you).

 

You're relying on the community that is not whatsoever in complete touch with the dev team, or part of it, to predict information on when PE could possibly be released?

I don't understand how that is misleading. iPhones are mobile devices, hence the 'Pocket' part. If a game is released for Windows and not Mac or Linux, would you complain that it's misleading to call it a 'computer' game? If a game comes out for Playstation and not Xbox, is it not a 'console' game? Do you walk into a clothing store and complain that skirts aren't clothing because they're only meant for women?

 

etc

Well then I guess it will just be a very long waiting game.

It should just be called iPhone version seeing how it's not released for anything else, if it was then pocket edition would make sense because it's on other devices and not just on one specific product.

Did you read somewhere that Klei are not doing Android version? Did you see other games that are not on Android called "iPhone versions"? BTW it should be "iPhone and iPad version" right? When they release it on Android it would be called "iPhone, iPad and Android devices version" since it is not out on Windows phones? Is GTA called "GTA PC and Console version" since it is not made for Macs? I think you see what i am saying

 

BTW many developers ignoring or postponing Android releases because of ridiculous number of piracy and complicated support for 32978461298 different Android devices. Also Don't Starve is available only on latest iPhones and iPads. Do you even have high tier android device that can run this game if they release it for Android? Or your next thread will be "why i can't play DS on my xyz phone?"

First off, anybody can pirate games, it's been done since the original don't starve been in beta on pc, (still being pirated now on consoles To this day) and it's easily possible to do it on iPhone/I pad just like how it is with android, all it takes is certain software, but people like me wouldn't do that,but instead support it and actually buy this game and again, similar to people on iPhone, their are those who pirated this game and those who support it and buy it.

2nd my processor is pretty much date with the latest to be able to run just about anything on the store, (of course expect for tablet only games) it's just like how most of the apple devices required to run this game would be if it was on android devices, only compatible with the latest devices.

3rd I'm just saying if it's not out for anything else other then apple devices, then why not just call it DS apple instead of DS pocket edition? Pocket edition technology would mean it's out on Phones apple/Android/Windows, or is it implying the possibility of it being released on other phones?

It is not about who can or who can not pirate games but who is actually doing it. Check these statistics from awesome developer that bring us Monument Valley: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/527b69fbe4b0febeee4fc9f7/t/54b80483e4b0f32f8253d06c/1421345934518/?format=1000w

 

They say that only 5% users bought it on Android and 40% on iOS so go figure...

 

About that name. Show me one game that is exclusive on iOS and it is called "blabla iOS game" or i will show you 37246 Windows games that are marked as "PC game" and are not for Linux or Mac. Your statements are ridiculous dude. "iOS edition" is still "Pocket edition" and as i told you it will be probably in future for android too so calm down and wait (you should know about waiting since Klei isn't first to put iOS edition first)

It's just a matter of time until they release it on Android, just like it took more time to release the game on Linux platforms, the same valid for DST.

 

Also, "Don't Starve Apple Edition" just sounds dumb. I'd much rather go with "iStarve"
