No.

SW was a trainwreck on its own. Combining big issues with big issues(DST has its own fair share of big issues) does not make a good. It doesn't solve anything. It makes you have new issues as well as the big ones from before, for what? for a bit of "fun"? That no one's gonna touch after seeing all of its limited content?

Not until Shipwrecked itself has been fixed up quite a bit.

I mean, I like the _idea_ of "Don't Sink Together", but it would need a LOT of work before it'd be feasible.  Also I'm not sure how the game would handle everybody being on seperate islands, a huge ocean, etc.

For now I'll just stick with my mod that lets you play Shipwrecked _characters_ in DST.  (shrug)

Can't really answer the poll, as there's no "Maybe in the future" option.  I don't wanna flat out say NO, but not a definite right-now Yes either.

(LEET posts, Koala?  Nice.  :D)

It could work as a separate version of the game running on a separate server.

We need more actual DST stuff though. And Shipwrecked needs more actual Shipwrecked stuff.

Also imagine running/sailing at Coffee speeds with DST rubberbanding. Truly magical experience.

Thanks for all the replies so far! I fully agree with all of you that it shouldnt be in DST. However, once they have fixed Shipwrecked (If it ever happens, that is.) and we have gotten TtA, I don't feel like it should be in DST anyways. It seems like it would just be better as a singleplayer experience.

How about we fix the bugs and glaring balance issues in SP Shipwrecked before we worry about it being in DST?

I don't think that's going to happen with Oxygen Not Included announced. I feel like Through The Ages will be the end for the Don't Starve family.

I mean, they were open to the possibility earlier so its not off the cards. Other stuff like TTA would take priority though.

*sigh*

I wish people would stop asking about/for this already. SW is an experience clearly designed for single player only, even moreso than the original Don't Starve was. The amount of changes that would be needed to even bring it remotely up to parity for multiplayer is beyond astronomical, and all the redesigning would make something that wouldn't even resemble SW when all is said and done. And that's not even touching on the monster that would be integration...

Furthermore, I can't imagine there are many who would want more than a few choice bits in the DST experience as it is, making it even more pointless. Not saying that there were no worthwhile ideas mind you, I'd like to see some of the weather effects retooled and brought over myself (especially the fog effect), but that's about it. There is almost nothing else I would want from SW brought to DST in its current form.

 

I know that sounds awfully harsh but it's not said out of malice, just a firm belief in the mantra: "Just because you 'can' does not mean that you have to."

The end of the family? Oh god no. IMO I feel the DS story has at least a couple more DLC's, a few more puzzles, and a couple animated trailers left.
