[/B]Don't Starve Together is the long awaited (standalone) multiplayer expansion for Don't Starve. It is a Top Down survival game in the traditional sense where you have to hunt for food, defend yourself from monsters, make allies, build a base, become a scientist and eventually a magician. This may sound confusing at first but the gameplay is pretty straightforward with a unique art style and a simple but effective crafting system. There are a lot of different play styles and most of it is self explationary although I would recommend reading a guide if you want to survive the first winter. It is still in Early Access but don't let that scare you, this time it's not a shitty unfinnished rip off and the devs are constantly pushing out updates; fixing bugs and adding new content. It is already very playable with a lot of content. [B]Release Trailer [video=youtube;Axw1k0PuXV8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Axw1k0PuXV8[/video] [/B][B]Characters[/B] [IMG]http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/dontstarve/images/0/0f/640px-All_characters.png/revision/latest?cb=20140703223019&path-prefix=pl[/IMG] There are currently 7 characters available, although the plan is to have all 11 available at launch. Every character comes with his own stats and special powers and mastering all of them is a huge task, as their playstyles vary extremely. [B] Basics [/B] Like every good survival game, DST has some bars you should always have filled up incase you don't want to die. The 3 major stats are Hunger, Health and Sanity. While the first two don't require an explanation I will familiarize (I hope that is a word) you a little with the third one. Sanity is a very important aspect of DST and you should always try to stay sane. If you turn insane you will start seeing eyes in the dark, monsters, hands trying to put out your light when it's a dark and other not so friendly things. There are some bonuses which you can only get when insane but when starting you shouldn't worry about that. [B] Modding [/B] Modding is a huge part of DST and DS and there are already over 500 mods for DST and the modding community is quite active. You can download everything from gameplay tweaks and adjustements, to new characters, creatures, pets, monsters etc. There already is some very cool stuff out there if you look for it.

No love for Don't Starve? edit thought it was gonna automerge
I have some love for Don't Starve. Love how I feel ripped off for having to buy a multiplayer version of the game when I already own the base game. "except you get it for free when it gets released" oh ok...derrr

[QUOTE=Blueplastic;47190489]except you get it for free when it gets released[/QUOTE] except I don't [editline]22nd February 2015[/editline] oops, I do get it as soon as it leaves early access, my bad [editline]22nd February 2015[/editline] spent 5 € now I need coop partners, any EU guys?
[QUOTE=The Saiko;47190445]No love for Don't Starve? edit thought it was gonna automerge[/QUOTE] I love Don't Starve and Don't Starve Together, but I probably won't be playing until they add Woodie or Wigfrid since those are my two favorite characters. Webber is my third but he's pretty much easy mode for me.
New update ruined Willow for me :(
I'm so glad a don't starve thread has been made. I was tempted to if no one else was going to soon. It'd be fun if there was a facepunch don't starve together server made, since its so easy to host and whatnot!
Rejoice, RoG beta for DST has been released! I'm gonna have so much- [t]http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/44247807778014438/060262313F2E762837AFFFEFA7CD245481522B7F/[/t] I- What the? Oh.. Oh no...
Thought I'd share with you guys all the concept art Klei has released so far with all the DST skins: [t]https://41.media.tumblr.com/bccf97f511759b75d9185bb13fc9cdff/tumblr_nmwo81DX7l1s9xd6po1_1280.png[/t][t]https://36.media.tumblr.com/4b38406d91145785898e6ddfe5417ed5/tumblr_nmwo81DX7l1s9xd6po3_500.png[/t][t]https://41.media.tumblr.com/4f696ab76954091c2427597bffd833d3/tumblr_nmwo81DX7l1s9xd6po4_400.png[/t][t]https://40.media.tumblr.com/5707054185df2fa8b716f847520f5d03/tumblr_nmwo81DX7l1s9xd6po5_400.png[/t][t]https://41.media.tumblr.com/766b6863e35b2e3f3cbe2ed3ac9c213a/tumblr_nmwo81DX7l1s9xd6po2_1280.png[/t][t]https://40.media.tumblr.com/1282dbffba2b744602f2a1d7a33c0449/tumblr_nmwo81DX7l1s9xd6po7_400.png[/t][t]https://40.media.tumblr.com/32c8d07bdfb6ba8ea0ad7dc4718dc237/tumblr_nmwo81DX7l1s9xd6po6_400.png[/t][t]https://41.media.tumblr.com/c0ee819762c80e7a3c1195028d4c8178/tumblr_nmwo81DX7l1s9xd6po9_400.png[/t][t]https://41.media.tumblr.com/9fc2c9e6675541a631e15d1af809ca17/tumblr_nmwo81DX7l1s9xd6po8_400.png[/t]

Today, we welcome 2 million new players into the Don't Starve Together community. Thank you once again to everyone who supported us on this journey. For everyone who purchased Don’t Starve, to everyone who jumped into the Frontier Pack, to everyone who told their friends about our little game -- thank you! Over the last 6+ months, we’ve been updating the game at a furious pace, and all the while, we’ve been upgrading our backend to get ready for bigger load. Since our Early Access launch in December, we’ve added new creatures, integrated the Reign of Giants DLC for free, created new games modes, added significant improvements to modding, and in general made over 50 significant updates to the game. While we’re not yet done (see below!) we feel players have waited long enough. And on the note of new updates, today we are releasing an update to Willow. Full update notes will be available later today, but suffice it to say that she has been reunited with an old friend. [IMG]http://assets.kleicdn.com/uploads/monthly_06_2015/post-1-0-39025300-1433292588.png[/IMG] What’s Next? As we discussed previously, Caves has been a huge technical challenge for us, because each cave is implemented as a whole new world in single player. We are now actively working on adapting caves into DST, and we’ll update you as we know more. Please understand that this may take some time as we do some experimentation. Alright, that’s it for now. Below is a F.A.Q., but if you have any other questions, let us know! Thanks again for sticking with us. We really appreciate it. F.A.Q. Is Early-Access over now? We are not out of Early-Access yet. There are a few reasons for this, mainly because we decided to add many more features to the game such as the addition of Reign of Giants DLC content and additional new features specifically made for multiplayer.

We do not have a current date for the end of Early-Access. When we have a solid date, we will make sure we announce it here. [url]http://forums.kleientertainment.com/topic/53413-dont-starve-together-floodgates-are-opening-soon/[/url] Who got Don't Starve Together for Free? Don't Starve Together was added to the original purchase of Don't Starve. This means, that if you purchased Don't Starve at any time before June 3rd, Don't Starve Together is included with your purchase. If you purchased Don't Starve Together separately before June 3rd, you were given an extra copy of DST at that time, and you will not be given another key for Don't Starve Together. [url]http://forums.kleientertainment.com/topic/54719-welcome-to-dont-starve-together/[/url] What if I bought Don't Starve before June, 3rd and haven't used my key yet? If you purchased Don't Starve on the Humble Store, or through our website and never used your steam key, just head over to steam and once you activate your key, you will find both Don't Starve and Don't Starve Together in your library. If you bought Don't Starve on gog.com, send us an email with the key you got from gog.com and we will give you a steam key.

What's in Don't Starve Together? Don't Starve Together has almost everything from Don't Starve, including Content from the Reign of Giants expansion, and some extras. You can check out all our past update notes on the forum.

Due to technical limitations that we are still smoothing out, Caves are not in DST yet. This is one of our current focuses in development right now, we should have more info on that pretty soon. We don't know what's going on with adventure mode just yet. Maxwell, Wes and Woodie are coming soon as well. What's coming for Don't Starve Together? Aside from a few things from Don't Starve, we have a few things we are cooking up. Character skins and Through the Ages are in the not so distant future. Check out these posts for more info on what we have in mind for the future of Don't Starve Together.

If you buy Don't Starve now, you have the choice of buying just Don't Starve, or buying Don't Starve along with Don't Starve Together. Don't Starve Together is no longer being gifted to new purchases of Don't Starve. How much does it cost to get Don’t Starve / Don’t Starve Together now? The main packages available starting today is the following: Don’t Starve will continue to be $14.99 Don’t Starve Together will be $14.99, and include an extra giftable copy of Don’t Starve Together for your friend Don’t Starve + Don’t Starve Together + a giftable copy of Don’t Starve Together will be $19.99 After June 3, will new purchases of Don’t Starve get Don’t Starve Together for free? No, we are only gifting a free copy of Don’t Starve Together on June 3rd. This means that June 2nd was the last day to qualify to receive Don’t Starve Together by purchasing Don’t Starve. After this date, there will no longer be a loyalty discount to upgrade to Don’t Starve Together as well.
