Indie Hour - Don't Starve!

I've tried this now. I must say it's a bit too stressful for my tastes (for this type of game).

I purposely skipped your video because I wanted to try it for myself first. I did start a fire but then I made a torch and walked off into the night. Getting autopwnd just because it's dark, even though you have a torch, doesn't seem fair. I lost a huge chunk of health that way. It turned out to be hard to regain that health.

Next lesson was that setting fire to a beehive with a torch doesn't work because you just hit it once then the bees attack you. Dissappointing =/

After surviving that I managed better. Crafted a lot of items and uncovered a lot of the map. 

Killed me a turkey but didn't get anything from it?? Eventually though I got pwned by wild dogs. Since when do wild dogs attack when you're next to a fire holding a spear anyway.

I'm thinking this game is a bit too surrealistic for me (wormhole weirdness, science machines, magic and such). Normally I don't mind fantasy settings but a survival game needs to be more realistic I think. At least this game didn't manage to mix the two in a way I like.

I haven't given up completely on it but it's kind of "meh". Mostly because you need to stress around so much during the very short days and then stand next to a fire during the night. Why can't you just go to sleep and skip to the next day?. Lack of durability also degrades your items way too quickly.

Nice try anyway. Some day someone will get this genre the game it deserves. Until then I'll at least hope for a Stranded 3 release.

Ok time to watch your video and see if I learn something that will help me like this better.

Art style reminds me of Courage the Cowardly Dog from some years back. And play style is the kind of total time suck that I try to avoid, not that its bad, just too open-ended for my taste. Until I get the ability to stop time anyway.

You've piqued my interest. I think I'll check it out especially considering you can run it within Chrome.

Jess is such a backseat gamer

Indie games have super ideas, wich huge game companiess dont have, , they produce only one brainless genre fps

"What I like to do when its night time is...."

Tell me more about it...

When you burn a tree it turns into Charcoal!

You really need to make a backpack as soon as possible. Also look for Chester or the Eye-bone and Chester will come running to you. Keep the monster meat for the Hell-hounds. When the hounds are near put the monster meat on the ground and the hound will go for the meat, this is your chance to kill it with your spear :)

I pre-ordered this a long time ago on steam and have been playing it for a while. I must say that the developers are updating the game with great new features and making the game have a long lasting interest. 

I love how the game gives you little to no direction at all. You are on your own in a game to survive hunger, enemies, seasons, and more. A tip to newcomers: play the game at 1-2 hour installments, and you won't get bored of it as quickly. At times, playing for a long time can seem tedious in the menial tasks you must do to survive. The game shines best when played at smaller intervals rather than one marathon of gaming. 

Best of luck to everyone who has the game and those who have just purchased it!

OMG! They obviously never played this game before. They both really really really suck at it! You don't need a trap to kill a rabbit.

The games are too long considering that if you lose you have to start from zero.

I enjoyed the art style, but the game play looks hideously tedious, seriously run gather resource run gather resource, yawn fest.

If you get in between a rabbit and his hole, you can intercept them and kill them with an axe.

I haven't played in a long time, but my general strategy was to build near buffaloes to get manure and farm more food than I could eat.

yeh gonna get this i think

I totally love this game. I've been playing it for weeks and I still cant get past the first chapter in adventure mode. It's seriously unforgiving, but awesome for the money.

looks awesome, purchasing immediately

Oh! How did I miss this one?! I love "survival" games with crafting and shelter building (stranded 2 anyone?).

I can't watch the whole video now because I don't have 2h to spare but are the colours always that dull? It would be cool if they become more vibrant as you build a better life for yourself.

I hope someone builds a more serious survival game some day. Or more elaborate anyway.

Random idea spawned in my head. There's a Marvel character called Forge. His power is somewhat eh.. imaginative. He can pretty much put his mind on inventing something and then all he has to do is build it. (Yeah yeah I know it's cheesy).

He was once marooned on a world with no civilization and he managed to go from stone age to solar power in a year or so (similar time frame). I'd play a game like that but maybe I'm the only one lol.

Of course I'd be fine with a more realistic game. They just need to take crafting more seriously than in minecraft, stranded and this.

Very wierd seeing someone play this for the first time. I didn't get the deal with them saying eating monster meat made them dumber? The third bar is sanity...not.. dumbness. Awesome game though, played the beta since december, highly recommended.

Also you don't have to waste a carrot to catch a rabbit, just put the trap over a rabbit hole and when he peeks out you'll catch him easily

An awesome game, traded tooth and limb for it with my tf2 items on steam. Adventure mode is amazing though i would like some multiplayer and custom adventure maps added to it. Even though the entire Don't starve community is against this for some reason. i look forward to what the games will turn into

She is pretty

Never seen this game before. It looks like such an intriguing concept, though I expect it can be very time consuming.

One of the best games i've ever played. Always challenging, particularly with all the new updates :)
