Don't Starve Together: From Beyond - Taking Root & 10 Years of Don't Starve!

Don't Starve Together - Klei-JoeW

From Beyond: Taking Root

As the power struggle between the moon and shadows escalates, the pressure is mounting for our Survivors. Loyalties will be forged and tested as new rifts start to slowly expand...

New Features

Rifts spewing lunar energy will begin to open in the world, either by defeating the Celestial Champion or by server settings.
The first creatures to spew forth are very interested in gardening.
New and powerful equipment can be crafted from these extra-planar thralls, with the right crafting station.

This content is part of a 3 part set of content updates in the "From Beyond" arc and is available today on Steam, PlayStation and Xbox. Nintendo Switch will be coming soon, it takes a little longer there.

Don't Starve Celebrates 10 Years!

Can you believe it? 10 years of Wilson, the Survivors and the Constant. From our humble beginnings as a Chrome app to well over 25 million copies all around the world and we haven't slowed down yet. Countless updates, bug reports, hot fixes, puzzles, fan art, and even some songs (Beefaloooo!). Don't Starve wouldn't be what it is today without our fans. We've watched some of you grow up and we've watched ourselves grow up.

We're not perfect, but we truly do try our hardest to do the best we can for you all and we hope you feel the same love from us that we feel from you.

Thank you. From all of us.

To celebrate we have a few gifts for you. This post is going to get rather large, so hang in there with me please.

We got together and signed a poster for you!

Unfortunately, we couldn't print and send out a poster to all 25+ million of you, but we did make a high rez poster that you can print yourself. Both a signed and unsigned original Thank You poster made for DS10 is available on the Klei Rewards page for free. We've also added another special signed and unsigned version as vignettes in Don't Starve Together.

We updated the hell out of the original Don't Starve!

I literally don't know how many bugs, balance changes and QOL updates are in the new update for Don't Starve that dropped today. But it's a lot and you can get more details about that here.

Big thanks to DiogoW for joining our team with this effort. He's now our "Secret Projects" guy working on a bunch of things we've been dying to do for Don't Starve Together, and we look forward to sharing more info in the future.

Free Anniversary Login Bonus in Don't Starve Together.

The Celebratory Science Machine and Celebratory Cake Chest are available for free for a limited time just for logging into the game. We'll add these to Klei Rewards at some point in the future, but if you want them now, go get 'em!

We also have some new skins for sale in the game. The Complete Verdant Chest and the Blooming Verdant Chest are now available.

All the Streams!

It would be absolutely insane if we didn't take a moment to thank our streamers. And to do that we are giving our Ambassadors 10 bundle codes of item skins and a bonus code for 10k spools for Ambassadors to give to their viewers. So go head over to an Ambassador stream this weekend and check them out for your chance for one of over 3000 codes up for grabs.

We've also made a brand new Ambassador page to make it easier for you to find our Ambassador streams at any time. You can check that out at the top of the forums or this link here.

Our own Stream!

We're also going to be hosting our own stream later today where we'll be taking about "Taking Root" and revealing some info about what's coming up in the next update and what the heck is going on in "From Beyond"

Be sure to click the follow button on the Klei Twitch channel to get alerted whenever we go live: https://www.twitch.tv/kleientertainment

New Twitch Drops!

We're offering a new set of streaming drops over on Twitch.tv. Check out this post for details.

Brand new merch is now available in the Klei store. Available in the online store for the first time is our Puft Plush and Soft Spots! We also have a limited edition Don’t Starve 10th anniversary shirt launching today. Finally we have restocked two posters (Monster Party and Wilson Cover) and added five brand new ones (Charlie Throne & Thorns, Ultimate Survival Inventory 2.0, Griftlands Cover Art, Oxygen Not Included New Hero Art, and Don’t Starve 10th Anniversary Art). Pick them up while supplies last!

A hint at things to come

We also wanted to give you a little taste of the next update. If you don't want spoilers, don't click below and just move to the next section. I know it's tempting, but be strong - you can do it, I believe in you.

[expand type=spoiler]

[/expand]

I think that's it!

It's probably also worth mentioning that all but the newest skins are on sale right now and Don't Starve Together is currently on massive discount on all platforms. (Up to 90% off!)

We're already well on our way into the next couple of updates. And we'll have more information about that soon enough. But for now, that's it for this post. As always, here's a nice link for some spools, just for being you. If you have any friends or family that pick up the game during the big sale, make sure to let them know because you can get a lot of great stuff with the 10k Klei Points in that link!

Till next time friends, Thank you. And have fun out there!

Don't Starve Together Roadmap 2023

Don't Starve Together - Klei-JoeW

Anybody interested in a roadmap?

NOTE: Please remember that the roadmap is provided to give the community a sense of what we are working on and what is driving our decisions and what we are focused on in the coming year. None of this is a promise or a guarantee. We always prioritize quality over deadlines and all dates and timelines are estimated to the best of our current ability. Many long-time fans will know that we often add new things to these plans which often shifts things around a bit, so it is recommended that you avoid scheduling your vacation plans around our dates.

This roadmap is subject to change at any time, but as we have done in the past, we will let you know if any of these plans change significantly.

2022 Recap
Our goal for 2022 was to “Set the Stage” for what was to come next for DST.

In the 2022 roadmap we saw the Year of the Catcoon and Bunnyman. We released refreshes for Maxwell, Wickerbottom, WX-78 and Wilson is right around the corner. We released QOL updates all over the place including a revamped Crafting UI, a redesigned Ancient Guardian, Map QOL changes, World Presets and New World Settings.

We introduced Shared Unlocks and Offline Skins. We added more games to the Midsummer Cawnival and we released the Curse of the Moon Quay and A Little Drama updates.

We released 10 sets of Twitch Drops and 50+ hotfixes with bug fixes, tweaks, and balance changes.

2022 was a busy year for Don’t Starve Together. While it may not have been as content heavy as some players were hoping for, the changes were necessary to prepare for 2023 and we’re ready to talk about that a bit.

This is going to be a pretty substantial post, so I am going to give a bit of a brief TL;DR summary first, then get into the meaty bits. Additionally, I should mention that we’re still doing a lot of experimentation and tweaks to how these plans are being implemented at the moment, so I have to be light with the details (surprise, surprise). But we want you to know what you have to look forward to.

What’s coming up in 2023? (TL;DR)
Our goal for the next roadmap is to smooth out the experience for less experienced players and provide longer lasting endgame challenges for veteran players.

3 Content Updates
2 Core Game Enhancement Updates
All the usual events
A secret bite-sized crossover
Don’t Starve 10 Year Celebration

Additionally, this roadmap does not cover a full year, because the last Roadmap ran into 2023.

What we’re doing and why.
Don’t Starve Together is arguably one of the most challenging survival games out there right now. However some of the design principles that were used to create the original single player game can feel unnecessarily unfriendly in a multiplayer game. The original Don’t Starve was designed around the idea of players being self directed. However multiplayer isn’t always compatible with this design and was largely why we resisted multiplayer for the original Don’t Starve.

With DST, we have smoothed some of the rougher edges over time, but most of the focus has been on providing group based challenges up until more recently. We think there are still a few areas that we would like to see improved upon, and many, MANY of you have suggested the same. The areas that we are going to focus on in this roadmap are in early game discovery, and the late to end game loop.

Now - before you start getting worried, know that we understand that we’re stepping into some weird territory here. Our goal isn't to make the game easier, or even to make the game harder (overall). The goal is to make the game more interesting in the ways that those who love Don’t Starve and Don’t Starve Together will enjoy while also providing people who don’t know the game more opportunities to understand what the game expects of them..

But not all Don’t Starve Together players are the same. To some, DST is too easy, to some it’s too hard, and to others it “is what it is” and they don’t want it changed. Our goals here are to offer all players something interesting, fun and engaging and to improve the game in areas we think will have a lasting impact. This roadmap should result in a game that is easier to understand and harder to master..

We have a few areas that we want to focus on to accomplish this. In terms of content, we plan to delve deeper into the stories surrounding Charlie and Wagstaff, and explore the impact of their actions on The Constant. The introduction of late-game world challenges will change The Constant in ways that players will need to adapt to, either by working with or against them. This will also provide Survivors with the opportunity to discover new resources and items that will be vital for their survival as they progress throughout all areas of the game.

Some of this has been introduced as part of the Wilson Refresh, and we will continue to build upon them throughout the year.

And what about the newer players?
Something that we have seen time and time again is that some newer players have a hard time understanding what they should be doing, or where they should be going and may become frustrated or miss a lot of content if they don’t know what else is out there for them. With this in mind, we are going to work toward making it a bit easier to understand what should be happening in the game without necessarily making the game easier.

To that end we will be working on additions to the compendium and other elements of the game that will provide more information about what is happening, as well as progress indicators that help players see themselves grow through what they have learned in the game.

Some of you may have noticed that some elements of the Wilson Refresh are a part of this effort as well. Wilson now acts as a sort of guide through the progression of the game, without directly telling the player what to do, his new skill tree can guide a player toward long term goals as they explore the world. He’s still rather vanilla, he just has some sprinkles now. Nothing too intimidating to a new player.

It should also be said that the “Core Game Enhancement” updates are foundational and are likely to grow and change over time. This means that we’ll implement systems or features that we can tweak or add to over time and while it’s probably not accurate to call these QOL updates, they will be Quality of Life oriented in the sense that they are meant to make the overall game better for most players, but not always by improving existing systems.

What’s next?
The Wilson Refresh will be released Thursday and the update following that is currently planned for April will be a content update as part of the new Story Arc. This will be the first content update as part of this roadmap and should be quite interesting.

We've setup a new bug tracker for Don’t Starve, so feel free to report them on the Bug Tracker! Please make sure to be specific and clear in your bug reports including which DLCs are enabled.

Please focus on bugs and feedback for this beta for now. We will be looking at additional feedback after this beta for an additional QOL update in the future and we'll update with more details about that in the future.

Have fun!
