"it's clear there's some lore behind this game." Yeah... s o m e

the thing is, maxwell's name DOES start with a W, his real name is william (maxwell is his stage name)

“I don’t know who Charlie is” immidietly switches to a frame with Charlie in it

My favorite part about the examination quotes from the characters is listening to Maxwell's quotes. He was basically the god of the constant before you kicked him off of the throne so he is always giving little tidbits of lore when examining certain things, like how when you kill the special hounds they drop gems, so when Maxwell examines a fire hound he says "I put fire gems in them as a joke". By far my favorite is when you examine a crow he says "I have no idea how those got here" like they're just anomalies

12:30 "This is where our first playthrough ended" *looks at day counter* Hmm, one can only wonder what's about to transpire :P

A couple fun bits of trivia: The characters names all starting with W wasn't intentional at first. If I recall they came out with Wilson, Willow, Wendy and Wolfgang in development. Realized they started with W, so they decided to keep the running joke. Charlie is the Darkness. Kinda. It's complicated. This all sprung from a joke from the devs though! Originally the files in the game for the thing that bites you in the dark were labeled as Charlie. Not because they had a character planned, but as a reference to the internet classic "Charlie bit my finger". And when the game's story started getting fleshed out, they kept the name!

The lore is actually important to understand for a core mechanic of the game. Without it, you wouldn't know that Maxwell's name actually starts with a W, thus allowing him to be playable.

Maxwell (who's true name is William) was the antagonist of the original game, and M is W upwards

I think it’s funny how Maxwell doesn’t t know how some plants grow so you get potato plants with the potatoes hanging off of it like fruits and much more weird crops.

Eating the mandrake to heal from the feastclops was the cherry on top for me ngl. Your love of don't starve will only grow if you like this much there is an absolute MOUNTAIN of gameplay you haven't even scratched!

dont insult my browser

So the story of don’t Starve is actually really underrated even by other fans, the animated trailers give alot of backstory and characterization and certain events and bosses clearly allude too a bigger picture while each individual character has their own intricate backstory and personality to suit their design and gameplay. Honestly the story is hard to work out from the gameplay alone but still somehow makes me more invested in the gameplay, I would definitely recommend watching all the animations. Even that’s just the tip of the iceberg to actually see the story for yourself you don’t just need to survive you need to be skilled enough to explore and analyze inspection diolog from important characters, although admittedly most of the proven story happens before the game. Also the original is much more scary and has an actual campaign you could play. Also my username is a very abscure pun on don’t Starve

I personally think that Don't Starve is the best *exploration survival* game out there. The constant is an incredibly harsh and hostile place, but it has rules. You'll die over and over again to being blindsided by a new thing but every time you come back you'll be a little more ready. You'll find one more crock pot recipe, one more weapon, one more thing you can interact with that works to your advantage and eventually given time you can become a master of the Constant to the point where you're cranking out the same kinds of megabases you'd see in something like Minecraft or Terraria. You're encouraged to explore the *mechanics* of the game as well as the world, and it's all the more rewarding because of it.

You MUST look for the Don't starve animations in KZfaq, especially the character ones, they are great conveying their characteristics/backstory. And are very well made! Glad to see people acknowledging one of my favorite games.

Hey just a quick tip, you don't need both a science machine and an alchemy engine. The alchemy engine can do everything the science machine can do and more.

One of my friends randomly gifted me the game without explanation, and it may have become on of my new favorites (even if I suck balls at it)

Dont Starve To Get Her Lore is everywhere my friend I would give so much to play this game again not knowing anything :/

Dont Starve is like the only Survival Game I can actually survive and beat lol. The lore of how Maxwell bringing Wilson into the constant was one heck of an ride. We gotta agree that Wally, Wendy, And Webber stories broke us.

Don't Starve is just like life. We are all dogs in Maxwell's hot car.

I really wasn't expecting a title like this to be from a player that hardly knows the game. But that kind of just shows how much character it has. Legit, it's a fantastic game.

The parachute gif caught me there to give a chuckle. Need that as a gif for memes XD

I’ve been playing DST since it launched, and with hundreds of hours across systems, I still get excited watching people try the game for the first time, as well as introducing new players to the game. I hope you enjoy getting to play with this weird little goth campfire insanity simulator.

The first time you meet deerclops really leaves a mark

It's nice seeing someone discover the greatness that is Don't Starve. I started playing in 2012, during beta, and have always loved it. I don't play it much anymore, but whenever I play it again annually, it's always a very fun time. I liken the experience you had to the joy that is experiencing Minecraft again, just getting thrown into a world you know nothing about and having fun learning about it.

Wickerbottom feet tab is downright diabolical

"There's so much lore I dont know, I have no idea who Charlie is" 30 seconds later "the unxplained darkness that kills you if you have no light"

Wow. I found this video like a week ago, found another one of your videos, and now I’m waiting for your next one after watching all the others. I love your video format and style! It’s actually so refreshing to watch, given the state of content… can’t wait to watch more :)

Gotta say I'm super glad you are enjoying don't starve sp far, it's definitely one of the best survival games out there... and the fact that there's so much story and personality baked into it is a plus too. When it comes to both gameplay, story, and stressful situations... You guys have only just scratched the *surface* . Literally. I hope you like spelunking... and double spelunking.

i love this game so much, i've been playing it since late 2014 but every couple years ill revisit and get super invested and obsessed with it all over again. i have nearly 200 hours on ds and dst combined, which i'm sure to some people isn't a lot but my most played game on steam is like 250

I don't personally enjoy this game but I will say that WATCHING other people play it is definitely entertaining. I just personally don't like survival games but this is definitely very entertaining to watch. Good video!

I love KZfaq’s recent push for small high quality channels like this please upload more

The first time I played this game, it was all the same that you guys did. Running around clueless and afraid of everything. I really like this game bc with every death, you learn something new. It was a good video. Keep it up!

I love your content, editing style, and most of all, taste in games. I really hope you continue making videos, I'd love to watch them all

No matter how many millions of times i hear dst footsteps, crackling fires, chopping trees, chomps and chews, whirring of the portal, tip-taps of spiders, dings of items becoming craftable, and hands flying left and right crafting an item, It will never cease to please me

amazing video, glad to hear people are still discovering dst!

As a dont starve veteran, i always love seeing people discover this game for the first time and see how unique and beautiful it is. Also, if you are interested in the *l o r e* this game has, id definitely recommend giving the solo game a try, and more specifically its adventure mode. And of course definitely watch the animated shorts klei has put out over the years

Had a server up for a few months years ago that the caves had half of the exists leading to another cave and half of the other caves exits went to a different over world map. Most players that stayed on my server got lost for days near the beginning. They would come out in the wrong over world and struggle their way back to the Florid Postern, but the starter base wasn't there. It was in the server description that the server had two of each map. One would think that exiting into a cave from a cave and the new cave having an ocean would have gotten some people to read the server description, they did have to pass the server description to get the discord info.

I need a series with all four of you going through this game

As someone who knows what there doing in dst it’s really great to see new people enjoying the game, the community welcomes you.

Thank you for posting this. Not only did this make me want to replay the game but reminded me why I loved it in the first place. I haven't played in years because I don't remember how to play as well as I used to, but looking back knowing everything was never the fun part. Thanks again.

This was very well edited!

Hey new subscriber here I loved your way of editing and the flow of the videos. Keep it up man 🏃🤝🏻

Bro from the way you make your videos i was so sure you had like 1mil plus subscribers. Its so entertaining keep it up my man.

Great video, as someone with over 1000 hours in this game this was quite funny to watch. The constant (that's what the Don't Starve world is called) makes it very clear it hates the player by the amount of danger at every corner. Watching this video reminded me of the huge difference in how beginners vs. experienced players handle everything the game can throw at one. One of the best parts about this has to be the fact that the skill gap doesn't stem from very precise inputs but rather knowledge and good planning.

*says a game is an outlier to others in the genre *describes that game in a way that doesn't separate it from any of the other games in the genre at all

The best part of dst videos such as this is that all this discussion, beholding, and praise of the game and everything it does… is for like 30% of the entire game. There is SOOO MUCH CONTENT and the effort and fun goes up and up and up, difficulty never truly slowing down (until its day 9999)

Maxwell's real name is William Carter so every character's name starts with w and Charlie is the monster that kills you in dark.

Don't starve is my all time favorite game and honestly it makes me really happy to see a video on it. The game is packed with lore & a lot of it can be seen in Klei's youtube channel, they make lore packed animations for every major update/character update that comes out and i really recommend giving them a watch if you haven't yet!

Now that's a pretty editing. Exquisite

This game is like getting into a rabbit hole that just doesn't want to end, and it's absolutely beautiful.

@angyl You mentioned questioning the darkness. To guide you towards a tiny snippet of the lore: The darkness in Don't Starve has a name. And the darkness is linked to Maxwell. He was very important, and in Don't Starve Together, he's still important, but not as important as the darkness. If you play him, and follow the breadcrumbs, you'll learn what I mean. Happy hunting! P.S. If you like Webber, you should know that he can upgrade spider nests and make them his friends. Webber's friends also will be friends to everyone, instead of attacking you guys at random. They'll help keep you safe. P.S.S. Somewhere on every don't starve map is a location nicknamed Queen's Rock. You'll know if you find it because there'll be a whole bunch of spider dens covering a real big area. That area is Webber's safe space. He can chill there if bad things happen to the main base.

I stopped playing this out of sheer frustration about a year ago, and I've just begun playing it again and diving into the lore and OH MY GOURD this game has more focus and love poured into it than any other that I've found, and I'm just barely scratching the surface. Welcome to the club dear sir, things are about to get nuts

seeing new people is nice, welcome to the community enjoy your stay and soon you'll make silly builds to occupy yourself like in minecraft

Ive around 1k hours in this game and still didnt experience all content, its truly a magical experience having to learn everything yourself

The artwork for me reminds me more of Edward Gorey's Gashlycrumb Tinies from 1963.

I love how two of them are literally fighting characters and don't know how to fight 😂

"omg why are you so skinny" "I think you need to eat" lmao

please continue playing this game, it has so much more to it! It has a ton of bosses, each character is a different experience and the lore is amazing. It is my favorite game of all time.

The monster that kills you in the dark is called “The Gru”. And it itself has an illustrious history in very old… let’s say “ancient” gaming. 😁

You really sold me on opera GX with the cat background

Found out about this game about a year ago, when the "From Beyond" update started on Together. Now i play it nearly every day, whether it's after school or weekend. Countless hours put into it and i have no regrets

I would love to see more of your first playthrough

I used to be obsessed with this game. There used to be this grandpa youtuber who specialized in don't starve and don't starve together and he was a legend

holy, great video my guy, makes me wanna pick up DST again

This got me recommanded at launch and I didn't think it would blow up like it did.

DST lore is very obscure, in the old days you wold need do things like photoshop singular frames from trailers or posters to get a link. sadly a loot if this is lost and as far as i know there ins't a complete source. -the character names stating with W was originally a coincidence turned in a internal joke btw maxwell in the game code is "waxuell" and in the lore is just his stage name, his real name is William. as starting point i strongly recommend the character introduction (and reworks) even to people not interested in lore. some tips: -read the character specific crafts they hint the mechanics and play style. -as fun it is mess around with new character i strongly recommend stick to one until you get the hang of dst core mechanics and loop. -I also recommend avoid certain characters as their mechanics deeply trnaform their play (wes, wanda, wormwood, warly) if you wish i can elaborate more on each character spoiler free or not

As someone wwho has played quite a bit, you could just learn anything by trial and error and if you do I'll just leave a couple of tips: Learn how to kill butterflyes (and what ctrl+f does) Play less feard of the night (try playing like a nomad for some time) Explore everything and learn how to kite and kill everything

This game is really underated and needs alot of good youtubers like you this the first video I've watched from you I don't know if thats bad or good but thats all I wish the best for your channel

Wow I recently revisited dst as well. Hella cool to see another person dig into this hard ass game and find out it’s actually really fun and unique! I still need to beat a boss lmao, dst’s ruthless

Would love to see full playthroughs of dst where u guys try to survive as long as you can on each world

I've had this game since it came out, didn't play much of it initially till recently. Love playing it with friends, has to be the game we've had the most fun in years. I'm glad it has such a loyal fanbase even after all these years

haha always a blast watching newcomers discover the game. i'd love to be there with you

The world ending with deerclops is such a classic for a first playthrough. 90% of the time it ends on that very night

You have no idea how deep this shit goes

Man this guy editing skills are realy good

God, I remember the beta. When Wilson, Willow and Wendy were the only playable characters. And all the website puzzle games that they hosted for big updates? So good. This video makes me want to rediscover this beautiful *deadly* world. All’s well that Maxwell.

Maxwell used to be the ruler of the constant (Dont starve single player) In the second game Charlie (the darkness) becomes the ruler. Thats why everyones name starts with a W and Maxwell is a M (upsidedown W) because he used to rule that place. Other fun fact: Wiona is Charlies sister so she gets one free hit from the darkness without taking damage Charlie was Maxwells assistant which is how she got trapped into the constant with him Wendy is Maxwells niece (neat) There is an INSANE amount of lore of the game. Most of which can be found from watching the shorts on Kleis youtube channel

your content is so good, you deserve more subs. great video

"hey this is monster meat, can we....?" what a cut 😂

BTW, I don't know if its common knowledge anymore, but the characters' voices being instruments is in reference to how in silent films they would replace peoples' voices with instruments! I don't know the logistics of how they did it, but they did. Its fitting because the characters in the game are from around 1910-1920 - around the time of silent films.

The very first time i created a boat in dst and going sailing with my friend is that true joy i remembered back when i first load into minecraft that feeling is soo good i just want to feel that furst time boat sailing in dst with my friend

I’m happy you liked this game a lot! I hope you are able to get a lot more enjoyment out of it in the future, it’s very fun : )

i've always felt like minecraft (even survival mode) is more of a sandbox game than a survival game and after playing dst that feeling has cemented itself in my brain

first vid ive seen of u nd i loved it good work ^_^

Oh by the way: Charlie IS the unexplained darkness that kills you. and more, but also the Unexplained Darkness.

yeah... this game is extremely ruthless. its why I love it though. everything tries to kill you (literally), but when you start getting the hang of things, learning what to do and mainly what not to do, it's a great experience!

I love dat since a lot of survival gamea don't meer the "survival" aspect as much as I want them to, but dst really does it for me.

Remember DST is an acronym of Do Suffer Together

My friend gave me this years ago because she wanted someone to play with, we played a lot but I was never good and she was always doing everything/knew everything

making it to day 30 is amazing I have not made it into winter after 32 hours of gameplay probably a bit less by 3

Charlie is the shadow woman that dethrones Wilson and fuses with herself in the Opening cinematic of the game. At least I think it was the opening cinematic it might have been a trailer for the game.

That mlg bucket fail lol

I've been playing this game on and off since the single-player version's beta. Absolutely love it.

maxwell is the most important lore character and charlie is the embodiment of the darkness

12:01 I don't know who Charlie is 12:12 "Get Killed by Charlie"

Charlie is literally the darkness that kills you the hands that put out the fire are her's... She also has an entire storyline if you progress super far into the game but thats something for agter you reach 800+ days if you even get there

Easiest way to learn this game is to either play while looking at wiki or with a very experienced player on your team who will guide you through stuff

Brings me back to my first couple runs so good - make a crockpot lol

I do really love don't starve but honestly the newer content hasn't been doing it for me, something about it just isn't fun for me but I'm very glad a lot of people are still falling In love with this game.
