Tales from The Constant: Let's Not Starve
Don't Starve is a game about various characters not starving in a weird new world.
In practice, death by overgrown monstrosities is more common, but "Don't Die" is a strangely generic name for a game, and wouldn't do justice to the fact you can play a mime who explodes eldritch horrors with psychically fueled balloons.
The survival/roguelike game itself has been around since 2013, made by the ever creative Canadians, Klei, and has recieved various content updates and expansions as the years went on, even recieving a multiplayer focused iteration of itself, simply known as Don't Starve Together.
As the last LP of this ended in 2014, there's quite a lot of new content to cover- even quite a bit of stuff I've never seen myself after a few hundred hours in this game.
So, how's this LP going to be handled?
This'll be a screenshot LP for the most part, and much of it will be done narratively- written in line with the story inside and *outside* of the game.
One of the tricky things about Don't Starve is that there's a lot of characters, and a hell of a lot of content to show off. I'll be covering the base game, Reign of Giants, Adventure Mode, Shipwrecked, and Hamlet over the course of the LP, as well as all the characters to some extent.
While a good portion of the LP will be in narrative, I'll be weaving the mechanical side of things in where I can. There will be some content I of course can't feasibly cover in extended narrative, (and I also like mechanical explanations,) so it will be branched out into separate updates without interrupting the story.
Should there be enough demand for it, I can do some mechanical video content later. We also won't be devoid of thread involvement either, there's sure to be a few rounds of voting throughout.
Sounds like a whole lot of LP, you sure you can handle that?
The question's not if I can handle it, but if you can handle it. :Stare:
But seriously, I've got a lot of time on my hands, and I absolutely love this game so I'm not worried. I'll have plenty of space to take short breaks/make easy updates if I need them.
Right, that's cool and all, but who are you?
I'm Odd Wilson, a longtime lurker and LP enjoyer. Had a lot of nothing to do, (and a lot of Dungeon Crawl eating up that time,) so I figured I'd give this a shot since I've decided to come back to this game. Besides, I've got a big backlog of games I never truly finished, so this is a fun way to go about doing that. It'll make it a longer journey, sure, but sharing the experience is a spice of life or something.
One last thing, why do they call you Odd Wilson?
I don't know. I was hoping you could tell me.
