Hey everyone!

We've been very grateful for everyone's feedback on Hamlet's Early Access. Thanks again for all the time and effort you’ve spent writing your thoughts, opinions and bug reports.

This is our roadmap for Hamlet, which we anticipate to last until April:

We’re going to be adding more to the seasons, adding new perks and challenges alike. Expect to see more content in every season, as well as a new boss creature. We’ll also be implementing multi-roomed homes, allowing players to build more elaborate abodes to stay in.

We expect this content to be launched in phases throughout March.

Beyond Wilba and Wormwood, we will be adding two more characters to the cast: a globetrotting adventurer lost and alone, and a mysterious inventor who finds himself exactly where he wanted to be...

We also felt it’s been awhile since we added a new character for all our base game fans, so one of these characters will be free to all Don’t Starve owners!



These new characters will be launching with the release of Hamlet in April.

As usual, we will be working on a lot of bug fixes, tuning and optimization. We know that some of you have been experiencing performance issues in particular, and we’re working hard to solve as many of those as we can.

And with that, we will have completed our third expansion to Don’t Starve. Thanks again for playing the Hamlet Early Access! It’s much appreciated.

• Wormwood has an extra (short) anim when poop healing.
  
• Compost Wrap heals Wormwood for more now.
  
• Each world type (DS/ROG/SW/HAM) now has its own set of worldgen presets (to prevent incompatible presets from being applied)

• Werewilba won’t be groggy in the humid season from her body hair anymore.
  
• Werewilba can now eat food by selecting it and clicking on Wilba with it
  
• Thunderbirds shouldn't unfairly target players anymore and ignore lightning rods at times.
  
• Uncatchable Glowflies fixed.
  
• Fix for the disappearing trawlnet (when full) in Shipwrecked
  
• Werewilba’s health gets properly set on load
  
• Werewilba can now Spelunk caves in Vanilla and RoG
  
• Wilba no longer turns into Werewilba when removing the Silver Necklace after a full moon
  
• Drying racks that burn will produced cooked versions of their item if they can cook, otherwise they will spawn a burning version of the item if they can burn.
  
• Walking sticks and stalks can burn now.
  
• Hammered dry racks will drop their item.
  
• It should not be possible anymore to generate a world without seasons.
  
• Wormwoods planted seeds will continue to grow after a load.
  
• Werewilba’s light won’t go out when she’s struck by lightning now.
  
• Falling things should not stay on top of a ruins fountain now.
  
• Cleaned up some decoration conflicts with pig ruins generation.

The Character Update is now live! This update focuses on making our new Hamlet characters more interesting for you to play, particularly when playing outside of the Hamlet world.

Wilba has inherited one of her father's more colourful characteristics, namely, she now carries the same curse that inflicts all of her father's family with dreaded werepigism. Also, all of pigkind from Hamlet's town pigs to those of ROG will now recognize her as the king's daughter, and pay her tribute in the form of gifts.

We weren't very happy with how Warbucks was working out. While trying to find ways to make him work, we decided that he just wasn't as interesting as we would like, and so we've made the decision to start from scratch with a new character. You can still continue your Warbucks saves as his files will not be removed from the game, but he will no longer be in the official lineup of starting characters.

Instead, we would like to introduce to you our new character, Wormwood! Who knows where this creature of nature came from, but he'll likely grow on you.

Thank you for playing, and we look forward to hearing your feedback!

Welcome to 2019 everyone! We start the new year with an update that brings several nice and fun features from Don't Starve Together to regular Don't Starve. These additions were added to the base game and all DLCs.

• Beefalo taming and riding (Saddles, Brush, Saddlehorn)
  
• The Ewecus (for Steel Wool)
  
• Fences (Gates and Walls)
  
• Bundles (and Wax Paper and Bee's Wax)
  
• Mini signs (and the Feather Pen for writing)
  
• Action Key ability while holding an item on your cursor
  
• Trap pickup using the action key

Along with these additions, the artists took some time to do a visual color pass of Hamlet. Some changes are larger than others, like seasonal tints and the new background color, and others are smaller, like the claw palm leaf color.

As well, controller support was improved when interacting with interiors and interior decorating.


We would like to revisit Warbucks and Wilba. We think both characters could be improved so that they are more interesting to play outside of Hamlet. Watch for the new and improved Wilba and Warbucks as they try to stick to their new years resolutions to become better rounded on Feb 7th.

Originally posted on the official forums.

The Aporkalypse is here. The pre modern pigs saw it coming, did the math and put the date on a calendar. Oh look, it’s this year. What can be done!

There’s also a couple of other fun stuff added to the world. Pigs now have a place they can do some money exchange, and a new magic recipe that captures the energies of the Pugalisk has been discovered.

The new content will be best experienced with a new world as there are some world gen changes for them. So we recommend starting a fresh world to experience them.

What’s Next
In a recent update we noted that we wanted to continue the Early Access until we felt the bugs and performance were improved. There have been several improvements to the performance, but there are still some areas we are investigating to help that. We continue to work through the bug reports both on the forums and submitted through the game.

We have also decided there are a few more updates of things we’d like to put out before we’re done. So Early Access will be continuing until about April of 2019. The next is an improvement in the Quality of Life for DS players. We will focus on bringing a bunch of the improvements that have gone into DST over to single player. Watch for the QOL update on Dec 20th.
