Klei seems to be on fire now. I thought for a bit that Shank 2's lack of buzz was going to hurt them hard.
Yep. PM sent.

coop would be interesting, either work together, or make the other person "Starve".
Right now I believe directly from the devs; it's about the same price as on steam for the beta. Unless it changed you get two copies (steam keys and chrome keys) and you can get the tf2 items.

Buying from the devs gets you the TF2 items as well? Then its a nobrainer. I was torn between giving the devs 100% and getting the TF2 items, but if the direct from the developer option gets me the items too then that's the best option by far.
Yup, you just have to launch TF2 after redeeming the key for the items to pop up in your inventory.

Oh, so this finally got finished?
Might go back and try again.

It officially launches next week. Right now the current build is missing some Adventure Mode (story mode) chapters.
You get 2 Chrome keys and 2 Steam keys (+ the TF2 items after you redeem the key and launch TF2) if you buy it from the official site/the humble store.

Picked this up on steam today. Got an extra copy that I gifted for a friend. Game was awesome, so I bough another twopack for a few other friends. Still at day 7 though. A tree killed me at day four my first game. Got a little base going my third game. Guy went insane. Not sure how to stop that. Going strong in my forth game now. Still feel like I haven't seen a fraction of the things this game can do yet.
All this time I didn't realize pigmen follow you if you give them a snack. I'm now setting up camp right in the middle of pigtown, I'm one of them now.
Trying to avoid doing stupid shit that gets me killed. I haven't really lasted that long yet despite playing this game like 12 hours.

Wow, so I accidentally lead one of those giant, evil trees into the pig camp I was living at. It killed almost everyone, and then turned on me (I stabbed it with a spear, which was dumb, but he killed my bros...). I stood no chance against that thing so in the heat of the moment, I lit some brush on fire, which then caught the evil tree on fire, who then started to catch an entire forest on fire as it chased me through it.
The entire forest was lighting up around me. But then the one surviving pigman came out of nowhere and finished him off just as I was pinned against a river. I thought I was a goner.
This shit is nuts.

Did not know the steam key gets you a copy in Chrome as well. That is awesome. Have it running in a second monitor as I type this. Too cool.

Ok so help me out here. Generally when I play I:
Is there much else to do/build towards besides being more careful and building weapons/armour so I don't get killed? I realise surviving a season change will be a big part of it, but after that does everything just sort of repeat?
- Start foraging around for food and items
- Build myself a science and alchemy machine and crock pot near some bunny nests
- Start building a little room out of blocks
- Wonder what to do next as all the other items seem kind of unecessary
- Attack some spiders or something until I'm dead because I'm starting to get bored or get wiped out by some dogs or something that I wasn't careful about.

Well you after you survive a couple of seasons you want to start adventure mode.

Can you give me a quick overview of what you do in adventure mode? I'm picturing completing missions relating to the usual survival steps like "find 5 carrots" but that might be way off the mark?
Edit. Looked it up myself, looks like it isn't like that at all. It sounds interesting and I'll try to check it out.

It's pretty fun, but it might be a bit too hardcore for me. I have only played this a few times, but I have trouble making it past 10~15 days. I suppose I could help myself by using the world modifiers, but that'd feel too much like cheating.
I do like that every time I booted it up, there seemed to be some kind of update.

Nice, I've never played a game using Chrome but I'll give this a shot. Just imagine if cloud saves were universal across platforms. I'd get nothing done at work.
They should appear in your inventory after launching TF2. Not sure if you have to launch Don't Starve at least once before TF2, but give that a shot as well if you haven't launched it yet.
Nope. Restarted Steam twice, Started TF2 4 times, joining a match one of the times. Started Don't Starve then tried TF2 still nadda.
Where did the devs say you would get the TF2 items buying directly from them?

It worked for me when I launched TF2 and browsed my inventory. Contact them and see what they say.

This game is great, can't wait to get home and start playing again. My best effort so far is day 6, lol.
What's killing you? Hunger? Enemies?
What I do is I go scouting the first day looking for a quarry and a spot near Beefalo with a nearby Forest. Mine the quarry for as much you can grab the first day and then I make a permanent camp near the Beefalo/Forest. Build permanent camp fire, Science machine, Alchemy engine, a Spear, and some wood armor ASAP. Then I spend the next week or so collecting manure, planting farms, and digging up bushes/grass/branches so I can replant them near my base camp. After that I start preparing for Winter. I can't say I've used the walls often though, usually you'll hear a sound effect and Wilson will mention hearing it before some boss or hound attacks. As long as you equip your armor and have a spear on you, you should be good to go for most enemies. Worst case scenario you kite the enemy to a pig house and have him kill it for you.
You can refill your sanity by eating cooked foods, picking flowers, and sleeping. To sleep you need to craft a bed. There are other ways, too.
Being awake at evening and night seems to drain sanity. Because of this, your sanity is always slowly draining. It can be also be drained eating bad stuff like monster meat or certain mushrooms. Being hungry or hurt seems to do it, too. But again that doesn't cover anything, I try not to spoil every detail with wiki's and stuff.
If you feed a pig 4 pieces of monster meat or wait for a full moon they'll turn into a Werepig. Werepigs drop 2 pieces of meat and a pig skin when you kill them. Wait three day and a new pig will spawn if you leave the Pig House up. Rinse and repeat.
It's crazy how a quick trip to nab some rabbits turns into a grueling, life-or-death journey. Just spent an entire night being chased in circles around my campfire by like 10 angry spiders.
I've played this game a good bit now but I've barely done any of the advanced stuff like creating meals or farming. I'm always too busy just trying to stay alive.

Thinks his PR is better than yours.
I've been OCDing with the game the past couple days. It's awesome.
You can regain sanity by picking flowers as well, if you get 12 of them you can make a crown and that acts as a sanity regen.
Those big ass trees that come to life and attack you, seem to happen for me anyway if you cut too many trees down continuously. I found if you plant the acorns to make new trees near him instead of attacking him, after a few of them he re-roots and turns back to a normal tree.
To keep from freezing in the winter you can make a hot rock and carry it around with you when you're not at camp.

I don't know if this is common knowledge, but walking on cleared paths makes your character travel faster. I just figured this out during my last run and I think it has been a key to my success during this current play through (I'm currently on day 30).
