Hey everybody.

It's intermission time again. As we prepare for our next update, we'd like to take a moment to fill you in on a tasty bit of lore and also give you some cool stuff while you wait. 

As we approach the conclusion of the lunar arc, some plans begin to take on a life of their own. 



The most innocent discoveries often spark the greatest advancements—but in the hands of the ruthlessly ambitious, they can unleash horrors beyond imagination. Steel yourself for the final phase of the lunar arc.

Now on Klei Rewards
More skins previously available as limited-time Twitch drops have been added to Klei Rewards. The "Nouveau Frigid Firepit", "Nouveau Tent", "Rosy Red Cane", "Rosy Red Amulet", "Rosy Eyebrella", "Rose Bushel", "Rosebloom Bearger Vest", "Polar Bloom Bin" and "Rose Thorn Trap" can all now be gained for free through Klei Points. 



Login Bonus!
Klei Publishing just launched Lab Rat. Lab Rat is a hand-crafted narrative puzzler masquerading as a machine-generated video game. This satirical adventure stars a metrics-obsessed AI who will monitor, profile, and guide you as you solve over a hundred unique spatial problems.



To celebrate, we have added the "Spectraflux Pack" backpack skin in Don't Starve Together. This shockingly attractive Backpack skin is only available as a login reward for a limited time. Simply log into Don't Starve Together and get yours before it's gone.

For more details about Lab Rat, you can check it out on Steam, Xbox, or Epic. 

Coming Soon
We don't have an exact date for the next update just yet, but we're approximately halfway there, with the beta dropping a couple of weeks before that.

We know that some of you are feeling frustrated with the lack of information provided by a long-term roadmap. We understand and apologize for that, but we don't want to spoil upcoming plans before certain things happen in the game, and before we're far enough along with our post-arc development to communicate that to you.

But rest assured that these plans are entirely based on your love of Don't Starve, the lore, and our desire to do the best that we can to return that passion and support. The game has a great future ahead of it, and we can't wait to share those details with you the moment that we can.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed crash due to network sync issues when connecting to some servers.
  
• Fixed a crash when interacting with a c_spawn("deck_of_cards").
  
• Fixed sound loops sometimes not stopping when closing JIMBO’s screen.
  
• Fixed JIMBO not scoring high straights properly.
  
• Fixed JIMBO scoring straights when they shouldn’t be.
  
• Fixed autumn combat music being too soft.

A short while back, Don't Starve became Friends with Jimbo. Now it’s time for us to ante up - so we've included a couple of small surprises in Don't Starve Together for you to enjoy. 



For the next week, players will be able to claim the Fools Crown skin for the Bee Queen crown for free by logging in. After that time, you will be able to weave the item with spools or find it in a random drop.



And if you play your cards right, you might even find JIMBO waiting for you lurking around somewhere in the Constant. Well, I guess that depends on what you consider luck.  



On the subject of Klei Rewards: if you missed some recent login goodies, The Rift of the NecroDancer Harmonic Riftwear and Mind Over Magic Thorny Twizzle skins are now up for grabs over on Klei Rewards.

And since it's been a little bit, have some Klei Points. On the house.

Fan mail comes in all shapes and sizes, many with heartfelt expressions of enjoyment. But one of the most inquisitive questions a fan asked was the following: "What would Wilson look like without his beard?" Since no one has ever witnessed this before, we had an artist draw it to see what this could look like.

The results were varied when it was shown to the team. A few adverted their eyes, some gasps, and the one who always sits in the back presented a broad grin. One of the more learned here was reminded of a toy from their youth. A simple device used to draw hair onto a face by moving some metal shavings with a magnet.

Once started on memory lane, other memories like to resurface. Antics with friends. Time spent waiting for the perfect punch line delivery. A story that ensnares your interest. Joke books full of gadgets that claim to mystify and delight your friends with their use.

Why share this fan mail now? Well it is that time of year where yarns are weaved, tales are told, and pranks afoot. Some truth, some misdirection, but all in good fun.

So we hope you enjoy this small peak into our mail bag left by a prankster from the past. Which leads us to the present. Three, to be precise. Now, you can enjoy all of the drawn above illustrations in the game and will be given to you upon logging in.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed non-aligned skinned Woby becoming invisible when mounted.
  
• Fixed layering of Woby’s rack when she is small and skinned.
  
• Fixed bug with Woby foraging the same target multiple times.
  
• Fixed strings for Wortox's Reaching Souls II and Soul Bastion II skills.

Introducing "Resurrected" Skins



We have skins that are no longer available because they are proof of purchase rewards on official merch that are no longer for sale. We want to make these available to players but do not want to disrupt the inherent value that they have by their rarity and cost to acquire. We also have players that cannot get these skins through purchasing our merch due to issues with supply or the cost of shipping.

When introducing a new Resurrected Skin, we will give it away for a short period of time for free - through various methods. Either at that time or just a short while afterward, that skin will then also be added to the game as available for purchase based on a percentage of the original cost of the physical good that digital bonus item was linked to.

For our first Resurrected skin, we are giving a number of the Resurrected Crabpack skin codes available to ambassadors to give away in any way that they choose. It will become available for purchase in game at a later time.

Go check out our list of Ambassadors and try to score one for yourself!

One last thing. Well, technically two. 

We have been having a ton of meetings and discussions regarding the roadmap and upcoming content for DST. Ultimately, we have come to some conclusions that we are not currently able to share until after the "From Beyond" story arc is complete. 

We have two more big updates left in the arc that we expect to conclude in September. We may have teasers or - other things - as we head toward sharing these plans, but we can't share details or timing for that right now.  

As soon as we get to the point that we can share more information, a more proper content plan will be provided.

That's it for now. Thanks to everybody for all your support. 

Have fun out there!

Hello Everybody

We're happy to announce that we're ready to bring the Wortox, Wendy & Walter Skill Spotlight update to Don't Starve Together next week on Thursday, February 27th!

We're also finalizing details about our next content update plan (Roadmap), which we should be sharing soon. 

We have also added the celebration items for the official launches of Rift of the NecroDancer and Mind Over Magic to the Klei Rewards page. If you missed the chance to pick them up before, head on over and grab them now. 



Thanks, everybody for your patience as we worked on the release of this update. And of course, a big thank you to all of our beta participants who have taken the time to check things out and send in bug reports and feedback.

We'll have more information on the content update plan and next update soon. 

See you next week!

It's Lunar New Year, and we're digging deep! To mark the Year of the Depths Worm we've added a hunt for the Guilded Depths Worm, new skins, new streaming items, and a new limited-time login bonus.

Highlights

• Hunt the exotic Gilded Depths Worm to harvest Lucky Gold Nuggets.
• Craft the Depths Worm Shrine and enjoy the new Jubilantern Posts along with the usual festive options.
• Collect further Lucky Gold Nuggets by scrapping with the other serpentine friends deep in the caves.

Skins



Masquerader Survivors Chest, Part III ($8.99 / 16 RMB)
This Masquerader Chest contains skins for: Wendy, Winona, WX-78, Webber, and Wickerbottom.

Streaming Drops!



The Rose Thorn Trap skin for the Tooth Trap joins the Rose collection. Check out the post for more details

Login Bonus!



For a limited time players that log in during the Year of the Depths Worm event will receive the Quilted Breezy Vest when logging into the game for the first time during the event. This is a limited-time item, don't miss out!

It's a new year!
The hold on the Wendy, Wortox, and Walter skill update has created a scenario in which we have to juggle some updates a bit to prevent further disruption. As discussed previously, we wanted to better address the skill trees but we also have to make sure we're delivering on the other updates that we were already working on. Most of Wendy's changes are in the beta update today, leaving the Woby changes to Walters Skill trees to come a short while after. So it's going to be a bit longer before the whole update is released fully. We want to ensure that the result of the extra time spent on this update is that last year had one less update and not that this year (or both) is short an update. 

We'll have more information about when that update is going out pretty soon. 

On that note, as we do every January, we are also taking some time to look at the previous year and the year ahead of us, what we want to accomplish for the game and the studio as a whole, and how to best adjust our plans accordingly.

We're pretty much set to go and almost ready to share a new update plan (roadmap) with everybody, very soon. We're pretty excited, and we think you're going to be too. 

See you then!
