Don't Starve- Survival nightmare sim
« on: September 04, 2012, 07:26:07 am »

The guys behind Eeets and Shank have been working on a survival sim game. http://www.dontstarvegame.com/blog/about/

Don’t Starve is an upcoming survival / exploration game. You play as Wilson, an intrepid Gentleman Scientist who has been trapped by a demon and transported to a mysterious wilderness world. Wilson must learn to exploit his environment and its inhabitants if he ever hopes to escape and find his way back home.

Includes:
Science
Magic
Spiders!!!!!!
and more.

During the beta the game costs $6.99 for 2 copies. When it finishes it will be released for $15 each.

The BAD thing, currently the game is only playable in Google Chrome and purchasable in Google Wallet. This is not permanent, but the way it is for now. I have one key available if someone is willing to deal with Chrome.

Looks like a good game. May get it if they make it playable outside of Chrome.

I read about this game yesterday, and I wanted to create a topic here. But as soon as I saw it was linked to Chrome and Google Wallet I decided against it.

Yeah, I raged against it for 15 minutes before I just installed chrome and bought it anyway. The thing is, I raged at the idea of installing Steam, then Origin, then.........

At the end of the day, I can either stand firm with my convictions or I can play the latest games. (shrug)

I tend to deal with chrome (I'm doing so now, in fact), so if you still have that key, hemmingjay, I'd be interested.

Looks pretty neat, and I keep a bunch of browsers ready for testing sites anyway.

I sent one key out but picked up 2 more. If The Darkling Wolf wants one he is next in line and I still have one more.

That'd be pretty awesome of you if you don't mind, I'm unlikely to have any spare cash until some time after christmas.

I would not complain either. The game looks kind of neat. And you get a virtual hug from me!

Looks like something I'll want to get once it moves from Chrome-only.

Very tempting and I use Chrome anyway.  I'm about 50/50 at the moment, mostly due to lack of Steamitude (and oh gosh, it's terrible that I typed and meant that).

Could someone post some screen shots or explain some gameplay? The website is not very informative :P
