Russian Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 After a while, I found that reading forums about the game is more fun than actually playing the game. I wonder if there is a problem somewhere. Is it because the game became "mature", or because the enthusiast community has outgrown the original design? Or maybe this is an expectations issue? I don't know, really. But I don't enjoy, for sure, the new map generation engine, and the crap about so called "insanity". The landmasses were simplistic, but became ugly. The game was "easy", but became "crazy". The choices became very RPG-ish : perks vs. disadvantages. Folks are all discussing the items, the numbers and benefits coming from that. Again, isn't there a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burfl Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I really like how the game has evolved while I was away, but... if I'm being completely honest.... I agree about the maps. I actually liked it "back in the day" when the maps were circular islands interconnected by bridges. It made the world seem more surreal than natural. Like it was a different place and time. Also, I'm kind of OCD and it was easier to systematically explore: find the edge, make a big loop-dee-loop, fill in the middle, then follow the bridges. Exploration is more chaotic now.Other than that, though, I really like the new content (note that "new" for me is a huge portion of the current game).

_Q_ Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I like how Don't Starve evolved, unlike Minecraft, which I hate now.The winter update will be lots of fun, it seems.If the game is too easy, play as Wes.Playing as Wes now, and I don't see any rise in difficulty.

Silvi Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I agree about the landmasses, I'm not a fan of how the worlds now look. They're kinda messy and we often get wee bits of swamp or savannah that look out of place and force me to get out my pitchfork and tidy things up. I wish the minimal brush for biomes was bigger so they don't look like swiss cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new generator (shape wise) is more realistic than cirles with bridges but the constant splotches of biome really seem messy. Hopefully the map person tweaks it some more.

Hopefully the map person tweaks it some more.See, I like it less realistic though This is some kinda crazy nightmare island, right? I liked the circles w/bridges. Just my opinion, though, doubt it'll ever be back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marak Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I hang around the forums to keep from playing Don't Starve constantly between major updates and burning myself out on it before the full game is ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvi Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I hang around here because people still keep finding interesting little tidbits between updates. I was lurking this forum ever since I bought the game, I now kinda regret not joining the forum back then, but sadly I had no time... :c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palpetinus Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Sirmentlegen started the church and was being threatened with ban if he didn't tone it down so I organized the bacon. Bugs Bunny was right, if you build it, they will come. Our thread is Toaster approved.Yeah, i was there. Kinda. Well, it was back in my lurker-days.But i should kinda do more for the church.

Russian Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) BTW it is wondrous how the serious posting transformed into idiotic multi-page discussion of pig product ... Edited February 21, 2013 by JoeW fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeW Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Well, to the original point, it really depends on the person playing the game. I come from an MMO background where people spend several hours a day playing, and run low on content and come to the forums. Don't Starve isn't really something that is going to hold up on playing 5 hours a day every day. I suspect that Don't Starve serves as an alternate game for many people. So, if you want to play Don't Starve for several hours a day, every day; you're naturally going to hit some content walls. I believe that is one reason we have such a vibrant and creative forum community. I think Don't Starve inspires people to want to stay in that world, and around it. So, we have a lot of people who are happy to share ideas and express themselves. I have worked on a lot games, and I have never worked on a game that inspires so much creativity and enthusiasm from it's players as Don't Starve. I don't think this is a problem with the game, as much as it is a statement for the interest it generates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
