New Update: It's Not A Rock!

Posted June 12, 2013 by Corey

We're excited to announce that more adventure and wonder awaits in the depths of Don't Starve's caves. Due to some server hounds ravaging things over at Google's App Engine servers, we're a bit later than normal sending this update. But fear not! They seem to have tamed any unruly beasts in their system and the newest update is now available on Steam, Chrome and our stand alone client for all to enjoy.

Attention Don't Starve Mod Community!

This new update brings along some improvements (listed here) that will undoubtably please curious modders and unleash even more incredible community creations into the world.

Don't Starve on PlayStation 4

It's official, Don't Starve will be coming to Sony's PlayStation 4! We wrote a fancy new post discussing the details for the official PlayStation Blog. You can get all the details over there, and of course, we'll be updating with more news as we get it.

The First Caves Update Have Arrived!

Posted May 22, 2013 by Corey

Ever wonder what's going on below Wilson's feet? Do rabbit holes really lead to the kingdom of the Bunnymen? Now you can explore the depths of Don't Starve's underworld with our latest caves update!

Update Notes:

This is the first in a series of updates to create a new explorable underground adventure. While there are plenty of fun things to find and experiment with down there right now, please keep in mind that this is just an early version of our overall vision for the caves.

As such, it's a bit sparse compared to our grand vision, and you may encounter bugs. We'll be fixing things and adding new monsters, objects, and mechanics down there for 3-4 more updates.

  • We've added the first pass of the new caves biome. Who knows what's down there. You should be able to find one cave entrance somewhere on survival maps generated post-launch but before this update. Newly generated maps will have a handful of different entrances, all leading to different caves.
  • Shift-click moves items between open containers. Ctrl-Shift-click manipulates stacks in the same way
  • Abigail and Chester no longer trigger traps
  • Hammering is a RMB action
  • Bush hat hide is an RMB toolbar action

Update Trailer: Underground

Posted May 17, 2013 by Corey

Just because the beta is over doesn't mean we're done. We've put together a very special trailer for our introduction of caves. Enjoy

NOTE: The Caves are still extremely early, and we are showing pre-Alpha content. As we continue to update the game, the Caves will fill out into a lively world for all to enjoy.
