Since I get this question a lot I figured I'd create a topic.

I do try to keep this mod playable for the latest updates, and I'd love to create more mod characters. Feel free to report bugs. Eventually I'll get around to fixing at least the nasty ones.


While I really do like (and still play) Don't Starve I feel the fantasy survival could be more fun designed differently. The same coincidentally goes for Minecraft's and other similar games' survival elements.

I work the better part of the day as a game developer (for one of the well-known AAA-companies). This does means that I often work a bit of overtime and mostly spend my time coding a tiny part of a colossal game.

A) I want to create a fantasy survival game incorporating my various design ideas.

B) I spend enough time digging through and fixing other peoples' code at work already. :p

...For this reason I've been making a game from scratch in using the Unity engine which I plan to release for free once it gets to a fun-and-playable pre-alpha stage.

Since I've got a project like that running it feels hard to motivate spending to much time on modding instead of, you know, actually getting somewhere with the game.

Reason I haven't realeased my game already is that there is not much to do at the moment aside from jumping around with the characters, try out the combat system, or admire how I've clearly spent time coding brea- er, softbody physics (I'm an ex-technical animator!). The AI for the NPCs is also fairly sophisticated, but there isn't much for them to do either at the moment.

As for my ideas? Imagine something conceptually similar to Don't Starve which rewards you for making multiple bases and even lets you hire NPCs to turn them into settlements. All NPCs, friends or not, play by the same rules as you and will also forage for food, hunt whatever they consider prey when hungry (could be you!), etc.

I don't plan on abandoning the mods, but for now I'm mostly focused on getting a fun-but-limited Pre-Alpha working. After that I may take some hours to update and add new features to Seras f.ex.
