Don't Starve: Shipwrecked (Klei/Capy co-production) launches in Early Access on Dec 1

http://forums.kleientertainment.com/topic/59157-shipwrecked-update-november-17th-2015/

I know you all have been waiting for information on shipwrecked so I’ll get right to the point -

Don’t Starve: Shipwrecked will launch into Steam’s Early Access program on December 1st.

Phew. Ok, now that we’ve got that out of the way, here are some more words!

As with Don’t Starve and Reign of Giants, we’re going to be using early access up until the full release of Shipwrecked. Your feedback and suggestions were invaluable during the development of past Don’t Starve content and frankly, we’d be fools to not involve you again when it comes to the development of Shipwrecked.


The early access version of the game is fully playable, but there is still some work to be done. The initial version contains new seasons, creatures, biomes, and many other exciting ways to die. As always, during early access we will be releasing regular updates containing new content as well as tweaks and bug fixes based on your input. Remember, we’re listening, so join our forums and share your thoughts!



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.

Is world migration (traveling between worlds) working yet?

No. We’re still working on this - it will be done before the final release.

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.

Cool image! Can I get a version without the logos?

Sure.
 
Interesting to see Capy in more of a support role lately. Do they have any game of their own in the making?

Oh and also interesting that this doesn't support Don't starve together yet. I'd say it's the definitive way to play the game.

This artwork is gorgeous! I might add it to my desktop at work.

I really love Don't Starve so I hope this comes to consoles at some point. I play it on my Vita.
 
Oh, yes! I recently wondered what happened to that game, but couldn't remember who was developing it. Did they hit a wall? Are there any dev updates?

Hey folks! Nathan from Capy here.

1) The game is coming to Xbox One & PC/Steam. Past that we can't comment.

2) We know that games' been floating around a while since announcement, and we're working hard to get it to you. We take our time with our games and don't release them until they're ready... which sometimes means a wait. Hopefully better game >>> faster release. We don't have a release date set but the game is really coming along.

3) If you're watching the video in a little youtube viewer, its going to be tough to see details, for sure. If you're watching / playing at full screen in 1080p, we believe you'll get all the detail you need.

If you have questions, I'll be around.

Wow, that's beautiful. Now it's my wallpaper.

Don't Starve isn't my type of game, though. I've tried to get into it and respect it, but it's not for me. This will likely be the same.
 
Very disappointed there's no sign of a PS4 version. It also seems like there's no sign of Don't Starve Together coming to PS4 either. :( I have this on PC but I play Don't Starve on console. :(
