Game Update 159281 - 12/07/2015

Don't Starve Together - Klei_Jan

159281 - 12/07/2015

Changes

World saves and snapshots are now synchronized across all servers in a cluster
In-game rollbacks (using c_rollback) are now synchronized across all servers in a cluster
Carrots are now hauntable! (Doesn’t do anything though…)
Added support for displaying Unicode strings in UTF-8 format

Known Issues

Some Unicode server names may show up as blank text
Chatting with Unicode characters is not supported yet

If you are the author of a localization mod:

Your .po files should be re-exported as UTF-8
What if I don't do this? Certain sequences of extended Ascii character ID's between 128 and 255 may be misinterpreted as a UTF-8 sequence, resulting in either a blank character or an unexpected Unicode character being drawn on screen
Replacing fonts: A large set of Unicode characters is now included by default, so hopefully you will no longer need to replace existing fonts anymore

Don't Starve: Shipwrecked now available on Steam Early-Access

Don't Starve - Klei-JoeW

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqjiUZBL6p4

We just launched Don't Starve Shipwrecked on Steam and buoy are our merms tired!

It's been a long time coming and here we are! While Don't Starve Together was still just a twinkle in Wilson's eye, our friends at Capy have been quietly plugging away at Shipwrecked with us for quite some time now. We’re all excited for you to come aboard; but first we wanted give you some quick details.

We've decided to release Shipwrecked in Early-Access because similar to the Reign of Giants expansion before it; Shipwrecked is a substantial amount of content. In fact, much larger. With new characters, biomes, items, creatures,recipes and water exploration; just about everything in Don't Starve Shipwrecked is new. However, we still have a little further to go; but first, we want to get your feedback about the game. Like Don't Starve, Reign of Giants and Don't Starve Together, it's important for us to really get a feel for what you think so we can adjust and adapt to your feedback. You should have a good, solid game in it’s current state; a great experience on it’s own.

Not everything is quite sea-worthy yet. As mentioned, the game is fully playable and nearly complete, but the new playable characters are still to come, as well as the "boss encounters” and some other cool things we have planned. Since we need to get a better sense of balance and feedback, we want to get everything in a good place before we get those in for official launch.

As many of you know, originally Don't Starve: Shipwrecked was originally being designed a standalone DLC completely separate from Don't Starve and players would not be able to move between Shipwrecked and the original game. Due to community response we have since changed course and we are now steering the ship toward integrating the experience so that you may move between worlds! This is still in the works and will not be immediately available and will likely be in a version closer to launch. We are certainly going to want to test this before the final launch version, so expect integration to come a few updates before final version sets sail. This is going to take a bit of time though, so we will need to tread water for a little while as we get that in order, but we'll let you know the progress on this before we pull up anchor.

We're not going to give an official date for the final launch of the game at this time. Frankly we tend to add in more new cool stuff that we didn't consider before your feedback, and since our priority is always having the best launch-ready game possible; we often choose to add more stuff rather than push things out just to hit a deadline. We are aiming for Spring 2016; but, that's mostly so we have something to aim for. In the end it's really just going to be when it's ready. We're going to try; but we care about delivering what we promised much more than hitting a date. We don’t consider a game ready when it’s “done”; we consider it “done” when it’s ready.

If you don't enjoy sailing into the uncharted territory of early-access, you might want to consider waiting until we launch the game fully before you dive in.

As we are aft to do, we will be hanging out here on the forums, lurking in streams and watching YouTube videos trawling for feedback and bug reports.

All ashore that's going ashore!

FAQ

What platforms is early access available on?
Early access is available on Windows through Steam.

I use Mac/ Linux. Can I participate in early access?
Mac & Linux will not be supported for the initial December 1st launch.

I don’t use Steam. Can I still play during the early access period?
No. However, the final release of the game will be available for the standalone client.

Can I play Reign of Giants and Shipwrecked at the same time?
Yes, but not during early access. We're working on implementing this in a style similar to entering caves but it's not ready yet!

What is Don’t Starve: Shipwrecked?
Shipwrecked is an expansion for Don’t Starve. Wilson finds himself stranded in a tropical archipelago and must struggle to survive in this new world! Shipwrecked is being developed by CAPY and Klei Entertainment.

Do I need Reign of Giants?
No. Shipwrecked is compatible with and without Reign of Giants.

Will Shipwrecked work with DST?
An awesome idea, but right now Shipwrecked is single player only.

Is Shipwrecked coming to consoles/ mobile?
We’d love to, but right now we’re focused on making the PC version as good as it can be.
