Wanda has been trying to outrun her future for longer than she can remember - but after a split-second decision left her tangled up in the Constant's timestream, it might be her past that's finally catching up to her...

[h2]Here are her details[/h2]
  • Wanda is a skilled clockmaker who will stop at nothing to outrun her future
  • Wanda's timeline is broken, causing her to age faster than the other survivors
  • Wanda's health meter has been replaced by an age meter
  • In Wanda's old age, she learns how to utilize shadow magic more effectively, and relies on it to make up for her declining strength
  • Wanda can craft pocket watches to:
  • Restore her youth
  • Manipulate her space in time
  • Return fallen survivors to their point in time before death
  • Rip holes through space and time
  • Harness shadow magic to defend herself

[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]
  • Fix a save/load issue where items sent through a wormhole could get removed from the world.
  • Fixed a rare caves world generation crash.

[h2]New Streaming Drops![/h2]
We are adding the "Skittersquid Helm" skin to the Nautical Collection. For more information on streaming drops and how to get them, check out the post here.

[h2]Coming up next![/h2]
Ok - I can't say a lot about what's coming up next. We have some pretty significant QOL stuff coming. We also have our regular Hallowed Nights event and we'll be doing another costume submission event as well.

Oh, and our next character refresh is Wolfgang coming up in December. So there's that. Which is nice. I am sure nobody is going to have an opinion on that so It's probably barely worth mentioning.

I don't have a teaser image today, because of reasons I can't say right now. But we're neck-deep in work to prepare for our busiest time of the year, so we've got a lot coming up for you over the next couple of months.

And finally, here is a link for some Klei rewards points. Use them wisely! (Expires Oct. 9th)

Have fun out there!

DISCORD HALLOWED NIGHTS MOD CHALLENGE



https://discord.gg/klei

Hey everyone, Halloween is approaching fast, and to celebrate the season we wanted to propose a mod challenge to the community. That's right, a Hallowed Nights Mod Challenge!

Alone or with a group of friends, work on a mod that follows the theme of Halloween or Hallowed Nights, then submit the mod on the submit-here channel in the Klei Entertainment Discord server. During the submission phase, users will be able to submit mods that add content to the game with themes commonly associated with Halloween, such as trick or treats, horror monsters and the like!

We will stop accepting submissions October 21st. After that, there will be a one week voting phase where the members of the community will be able to vote for their favorite mod. Be sure to read the guidelines below to see how you can participate! Both of these phases will happen exclusively here, on the Klei Entertainment Discord server.

The users that worked on mods that have been submitted and accepted will receive 2000 in-game spools, and the top 5 community favorite mods will receive the complete Hallowed bundle. To receive these rewards, you will need to link your Discord account to your Klei Account over at accounts.klei.com - this feature is not yet ready, and a tutorial on how to do this will be made available as soon as it's working.

- RULES TO QUALIFY -
Failure to follow the rules will disqualify the submission.

1. Your mod must follow our Modding Guidelines (https://support.klei.com/hc/en-us/articles/360029556052-Modding-Guidelines), Steam's User Generated Content (https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=4045-USHJ-3810) and Steam Online Conduct guidelines (https://store.steampowered.com/online_conduct).
2. Your mod must be for Don't Starve Together and related to Halloween or the Hallowed Nights event in Don't Starve Together.
3. You may work on your mod alone or together with a group of people (maximum of 5 members).
◦ You may work on multiple mods, but will only receive one reward.
4. No tricks for treats! You must “try” to make an interesting mod. Try to put some thought into it!
◦ Mods that have already been published and mods that copy other mods that already exist in the Steam Workshop will not be accepted.
5. All mod content must be PG and follow our community guidelines (https://forums.kleientertainment.com/guidelines).
6. As with any community submission, event rules are subject to change.

We will be accepting submissions between October 1st and October 21st (Pacific Time). The voting phase will happen between October 22nd and October 29th.

Rewards will be granted upon verification of submitted mods at the end of the event. Have fun!
