New game I'm playing

Don't Starve

Hey everyone

I think around previous week I’ve bought a game from the Steam Store called “Don’t Starve”. But I didn’t have a lot time to play the game at first, but this week I’ve been playing it a lot. The game is still in the Beta phase but every 13 or 14 days they are bringing you a patch with new stuff to make or new creatures to kill / catch or new content to explore.

Like the title of the game already says, the goal of “Don’t Starve” is.. well.. Don’t starve..

So in the beginning of the game when you play it for the first time, you start with absolutely nothing. There is a guy who wakes you up and says: “Good luck and remember, don’t starve”. Now it’s up to you to find a way to get food and make a fire at night. So the first things you have to do is to gather all the resources around you like Grass, Sticks and flint of you found around 3 flints and sticks you can make your first tools like a mining pick or a hatchet. The hatchet is needed to chop down threes for wood. You will need this wood in order to make a campfire. And the campfire is needed to stay alive at night. Because at night the Grue will come to you and hurt you if you are not near a fire.

When you survived the night the next day will begin of course. So in the second day you have to get yourself some wood, stone and food. The best two ways to get food is:

• Drop a seed and wait for a bird to come and fly down. If you are in time to attack the bird it will drop some meat and a feather. The feather depends on what bird you kill.

• If you see a rabbit hole and you see that the rabbit is further away, then you go stand in the opposite direction of the hole and click on the rabbit to attack. This way the rabbit will run to his hole to seek cover but you will be in the path back to his hole and you’ll have time to kill it on his way. 

          So like this there are so many things to discover in the world of Don’t Starve. Lately they have added another method of playing the game.

First method:

You have to do the things to survive like always but this time you also have to drop some items in science machine to get some science points, these points are needed to unlock new tools.

Second method:

Like to first method you have to do the things to survive but this time you don’t need to drop things in the science machine to get science points. You just have to build the science machine and you just need the materials to make the tool that you want.

I kind of like the first method since it give you a more feeling about progressing in the game rather than just surviving. But this is just personal opinions.

I will be making a gameplay video soon when I discovered some more things of Don’t Starve to show you guys what you can do inside the game, what to lookout for and how to get things in an easier way than expected.

Hope you enjoyed and like always

Cheers!
