Mukkan Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) I've really enjoyed playing Don't Starve. As I've played I often find myself narrating in my head as though I'm writing a journal. I understand that a major part of Don't Starve's appeal is the enjoyment of discovery, the lack of a safety net, and learning by doing (and dying). That's why when I set out to create a basic tutorial I wanted one that would be just enough to get someone going without spoiling too much or piercing the suspension of disbelief. To that end I've created a set of Journal Entries that would get someone through their first three days and give them a good place to start from. So I present to you: Wilson's Journal Days 1-3http://www.4ftconscience.com/2013/02/06/wilsons-journal-day-1/http://www.4ftconscience.com/2013/02/06/wilsons-journal-day-2/http://www.4ftconscience.com/2013/02/06/wilsons-journal-day-3/The next entry, a cautionary tale of the dangers of woodcutting:http://www.4ftconscience.com/2013/03/07/wilsons-journal-day-4/ Edited March 7, 2013 by Mukkan Update 3/7/13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mukkan Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Thanks for the tip Snob (very hard to write that sentence without seeming defensive). I was on the fence about where it belonged since it had some actual information in it. Thanks for clarifying, I'll make a new thread in Art and Lore at some point today.

Palpetinus Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Holy ****, i was just thinking, maybe they could add this into the game as collectable item, found on the ground, as in-game tutorial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogpad Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 that was a surprisingly enjoyable read my friend, I did not expect this to be honest, but you showed quite a talent. I must also admit that this is a very fine way to introduce something tutorialish without spoiling too much. Very, very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mukkan Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 I must say I'm very flattered. I'll try and keep living up to your high praise, thanks for the support! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
