Last week we released sheet music and lyrics to a "Starver's Carol" and loved the covers people started recording! We decided to have some fun with it and do our own recording! Here's the "Starver's Carol" animated, and sung by developers and team at Klei Entertainment. Happy Holidays from everyone at Klei!

Change List:

• Fixed bug where Players could still attack while heavy lifting.
  
• Fixed UI bugs where some buttons could slowly drift out of position when dragging the mouse cursor off of them.
  
• Improved error handling for RPC calls made with invalid parameters.

The nights are growing colder, and a distinctive holiday cheer has permeated the air. That can only mean one thing - Winter’s Feast is upon us! Take a break from enduring a hostile world to spread some holiday cheer. You could enjoy a tasty sugar cookie and decorate a tree or two… or three. Be wary though… something terrible lurks nearby, ready to punish naughty survivors who try to steal presents. What is it, exactly? We have No-Eyed Deer!

An Uncommon Holiday
New winter skins have appeared to get our survivors into the winter spirit, and for a limited time, the chances of receiving a rare gift have been substantially increased!

Everyone will also get a small set of skins to enjoy, including a festive Gingerbread Chest skin. These skins can be accessed in players’ item collections, but will only be around for the duration of the Winter’s Feast seasonal event - so enjoy them while you can!

Happy Winter’s Feast, everyone!

And for added festive fun, check out this cool mod that <default> posted on the steam workshop!
