Thank you so much to everyone who considers us and has been a part of the journey of Don't Starve
Of course, the amount of creativity, hard work, time and dedication put into this game is truly astonishing, deserving of every award.
Okay 👍
will do! thanks for all that you've given us over the years
Will this mean Nintendo switch will be receiving the update in 2023?
I love you
Not only did this trailer push the plot forward in an unexpected way, it also showed how Maxwell's clones only were good for gathering resources and sucked at fighting.
Lol
Just like the game!
@@alfalldoot6715 since the rework that changed a lot
*t h e b l a c k g o o p p e o p l e*
Damn!! 😆
3:04 Willow was totally getting ready to burn the body
underrated comment...
Yeah
Lol
_pfff_
I wouldn't blame her either
I love that Wilson was the one who instantly recognized that something was off at the end there. Out of all the other survivors, he has the most backstory involving Maxwell and Charlie, plus he spent some time on the Nightmare Throne too so he can probably spot it when things get spooky. It makes me really excited for his update, especially since he’s my favorite character lol. Also I adore character continuity and Klei is really good at it
A Wilson rework is probably in the works.
Wilson is also not on the chessboard at 3:18
@@necromancer2367
At minute 2:27 Wilson is on the chessboard
@@macat1597 That was when Maxwell was with them, then Wilson dissapears when Maxwell joins Charlie
@@moltenalfonso6707 trueeee maybe they will create a new story regarding wilson or the constant since maxwell joining with charlie could cause problems regarding the survivors within the constant,
As a Maxwell fan, I just hope he doesn't really betray the other survivors. Their relief when seeing Maxwell was alive shows that now they care about him too.
Unfortunately, I think by taking the rose, he's already betrayed the survivors
except willow who was absolutely ready to burn his body
i hope he does
I don't think it's possible for him to betray the other survivors, you cant exactly have a character in a game that every other character is against and probably wouldn't hesitate to kill lol
It’s already suggested though, the black chess piece of Maxwell shows that he’s possibly working with Charlie but maaaybe he’ll betray her?
I think it’s interesting how the phrase “let me in” both applies to Charlie asking Maxwell to let her help him and the other monster wanting to possess him before later merging with Charlie.
Yeah, Charlie definitely got possessed by something nasty... that three-eyed, horned demon thing.
@@Mike14264 You mean the fuelweaver? I doubt that he's controlling her. She's probably controlled by Them and Fuelweaver claims to be against Them.
@@bleflar9183 interesting... kinda odd that he appeared then... Unless she's not being controlled by Them then?
@@Mike14264 He probably sensed that she is connected to Them and attempted to kill her like he does with us.
@@Mike14264 fyi its the ancient fuelweaver, a boss you can spawn in the caves in the atrium biome
iirc the fuelweaver was like the leader of an ancient civilization at one point
gameplay-wise, its just a really tough boss that resets the ruins once you beat it
It's nice we finally got some deeper knowlegde into the relationship with Charlie and Maxwell, good job Klei.
Hi plant
What deeper knowledge do you mean?
@@Marqan true, we already knew she was a show assistant to him. Nothing changed. We did get to witness a short reunion between them though.
I love how we got some FuelWeaver footage.
@@Marqan my basic impression is that now we know they were very close but started drifting when Maxwell was being overwhelmed by the book and Charlie was worried. And we know Maxwell still cares about her and regrets
Credit where it's due, Maxwell has perhaps the strongest will in the lore. He kept going through massive debt, nearly mastered the shadows, resister their domination, and was even a somewhat subversive thorn in their side on the throne - so much so he had to be replaced. He even managed to put his past behind him to work with former enemies and began to build real camaraderie with them against a mutual foe. It was only through the very shrewd maneuvering of the dark forces that he came under heel. How insidious, they finally got him through the power of the feelings he had for their current pawn. The question is, how much of what will happen is Them, and how much is actually Charlie?
Makes his high sanity and sanity regen very fitting.
You think darkness wanted to replace Maxwell? I am still honestly not sure what's the deal with the nightmare throne and him.
1:54 is Wilson's hair along with the latin word 'pretiositas', which from my 10 second google search means either preciousness or costliness. Along with Wilson not being on the second chessboard, I think it's safe to say that Wilson's short will be very important for the lore of don't starve.
finally someone actually commented on wilson not being on the second chessboard
Wurt, Wormwood, Wortox, Wanda and Webber aren't either.
@@FluffyBucketSnake You make a good point with Walter, but iirc the DLC characters aren't canon to the lore (unless they changed that with Wanda)
@@confusedbees You mean Webber?
@@FluffyBucketSnake Yes sorry
This is a certified Maxwell Gaming classic
Maxwell Gaming
Hello everyone
Maxwell Gaming here
They even got the rook to cameo in it!
Klei has aknowledged Maxwell Gaming
This is a worrying development... CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHERE IT GOES
all he did was become black
@@pogobod2128 luckly in constant there is no american cops
@@Br3ad83 Those pigs would be great officers of the law!
There’s an imposter amongus now
@@pogobod2128 well Maxwell decided to join us after getting off the throne but now doesn't seem like it anymore
I love how Charlie’s “speech” is different from Maxwell’s. Maxwel always had text appear in blocky letters that instantly popped into being with some letters having strange effects on them, while Charlie has her text appear fluently and slowly as if actively being written down, all being shown through neat cursive
I like that Wendy is just idling while Maxwell wakes up. Really characterises her.
Wendy was afk
I live for the day Klei creates a show out of this game
me too
Let your favourite streaming / tv provider know you'd be interested in one, we'd be open to talk. But we'll continue making our own shorts regardless on our TH-cam channel!
@@kleient I feel like a show wouldn't fit the tone of the story as well as the current cocktail of shorts and gameplay, but then again the klei writing team are mental and they'd probably do it really well. either way, good job! keep it up!
@@kleientHype
@@kleient yooo netflix show would be dope
oh my god, it felt amazing seeing charlie after all this time, plus going more into depth about their relationship before the events of dont starve, absolutley phenomenal.
PLEASE, people, nominate this game for the Labor of Love award. They REALLY deserve it.
DST Labor of Love Update?
Unfortunately for me my vote goes to the upcoming Dwarf Fortress but hell yeah the amount of effort Keli put into this series is amazing and should also be recognized
It seems Maxwell made this deal out of both guilt and the love he had for Charlie. He has never forgiven himself for what happened to her, and seems to think doing this will make it up to her.
Beautiful story writing Klei, as always
The fact that Maxwell apparently didn't learn anything from his time as a survivor and so easily made a deal which turned him into a pawn is... So tragic. Amazing animation, as always.
and the fact after all the people he made deals with just to screw them over just to agree to a deal with Charlie
Maxwell's at least a bishop.
More than betraying max probably is doing it out of love…because honestly, Charlie is playing with his heart, it’s looks like what they had was a short lived love but one that both had but it never flourished because of Max isolating himself and then we know what happened next..so it’s probably her playing with his heart strings to betray everyone
@@raf6213 Idk about love because you can do just that to a close and only friend (She's the only one who supported his interest in magic) but imo it doesn't matter why he did that, that's still betrayal.
@@42justdev In Charlie's eyes everyone's a pawn.
This short has some SERIOUS implications. Previously, all the shorts have shown the characters' backstories. This one also did that, but it also set up something pretty significant for the future. They are definitely planning something big for the future. With one person turning traitor, it's likely that the story will start moving towards the finale. Maybe a few more will turn traitor (like Willow), but my prediction is that Wilson's character refresh will show him starting to make significant progress in escaping the Constant which will lead to a big update (after some time obviously) that either adds an end game where the group defeats the beings who trapped them there, or adds a new area/boss to set things up to fight those beings. The only thing I'm really not sure about is how the gameplay will reflect Maxwell turning traitor, unless of course he didn't actually turn traitor and is just deceiving Charlie to get more information and the true enemies.
He may resolve to use the power to save her. After all Maxwell is not a fool, he’s always been opportunistic. I’m interested to see how this goes, and lean on the side that Maxwell will NOT turn traitor.
wilson already got to the bounds of the world and got to the last world and meet the chairman(pun intended)it looks like charlie discovered a way to block the movement between the worlds so it may be harder to progress to the end world
@@drx737 Are you talking about Adventure Mode from the single player version? Or is this something else I'm not aware of?
@@kylerivera3470 yes i'm talking about adventure mode
Hey! Why am I getting singled out? Just because I might have "borderline personality disorder" or "outstanding arrest warrants in 37 states" or "a blood pact with Mr. Skitts" doesn't necessarily make me untrustworthy.
Anyone else notice in the first few seconds how there's a little blue ring in the moon that moves to face Maxwell, kind of like the pupil of an eye? 0:01
yeah thats not the moon that would be alter
yeah thats not the moon
*it* saw
That's alter basically the God of the constant before Maxwell was there or smthn like that
@@MutatedLiz yeah its one of them
Willow really just stood there with her lighter, desperately hoping she'd have an excuse to cremate him, huh
fr, classic Willow moment
It's really incredible how Klei can convey such complex emotion through their shorts without using any spoken dialogue. The composition of this short was absolutely fantastic.
The eerie sound Charlie makes when talking takes me back to the old "Say Pal. looks like you are having some trouble..."
Below and above just married! Congratulate them!
@@HarambaeXelonmuskfans thanks we’re lovebirds :)
is it really "without spoken dialouge" when the dialouge is in text?
@@shinydewott Not really, no.
IM SO READY FOR THIS. THE PLOT THICKENS!!
MAXWELL RE-WORK IS PHENOMENAL!!
Excited to watch the streams! :)
As someone who grew up with Don't Starve, seeing the game come this far makes me tear up with joy
I remember getting to see all the Maxwell stuff coming out as a kid, I think I was 10 when I first saw Don't starve, now I'm almost 20 and I still always get so giddy whenever I see this strange story continuing
I first found Don’t Starve in 2015 when DST was a weird beta thing that had no connection to the story yet. I was so invested in the lore, and it was amazing when it was revealed that DST was not only canon, but a sequel! I loved the “William Carter Puzzles” and then the reveal that Charlie had replaced Wilson on the throne, officially ending the beta phase of DST, was so cool! It’s so nice to come back and see that the story is still going!
It's incredible to see how far Don't Starve as a game has come, seeing pieces of one of the first big lore animations in this gave such a hard wave of nostalgia. I grew up with this game and it still gets me excited seeing the ambitious updates that are being announced by Klei. Huge love to everyone working behind the scenes on this game, and, if you guys ever stop updating Don't Starve the game, please end the franchise with a movie, all of us here would be more than thrilled to see it!
I’ve been following the game for almost a decade, since I was 13 and seeing all the callbacks made me tear up a little. Fantastic animation and I’m so excited to see the story moved forward. I main Maxwell and I’m joyous to see him in a fraction of his past glory
Me too, and I miss the original feel of the game. Now it holds the hand a lot and is aimed more towards casual players. Still, great animations as always Klei! They are amazing
@@galivnik6491 Still a really difficult game though.
And the normal don't starve + the dlcs still have the old feelings
same haha, I remember playing the VERY early access versions where we still had science points and all, good old days.
@@trots4940 True! And DST is not bad or anything, but it did change quite a bit. I'll take what I can get! Klei are great.
@@galivnik6491 Yes i get what you mean
The lore is good and all but the most important part of this is that the clockwork rook finally gets to be in a short
I love these animated backstories so much! They fit all the characters so well and don't seem out of place, like they've been here since the beginning of the game.
Стоп ты же Ноукуб, который снимает обзоры модов
Не ожидал увидеть вас
Interesting move, making Maxwell an antagonistic force in the story again. I can't wait to see what Charlie has planned for him!
Seeing the parts of the old William Carter puzzles animated felt really awesome to someone like me who’s been following the lore pretty much since the game’s release. The new developments made here are extremely interesting and I absolutely can’t wait to see what happens next!
I wonder if the absence of Wilson on the chessboard indicates something, despite the fact that there are few characters missing, maybe they all will be placed on it after their reworks. The short was so marvelous that I've lost my words thinking about all of it. After 8 years of sitting in everything Don't Starve-related I can't help but to be intrigued by all of the effort put in it's franchise and I'm so very glad that I could see and experience the game, lore and everything else. To think that the 12 yo me is still happy within my grown self because of this game is just unspeakable. Thank you for this amazing game Klei and thank you for making my life happier. I wish everyone in your team the same happiness that you gave to me.
Other than Wilson, the rest of missing characters are originated from the constant itself (Webber, Wormwood and Wurt)
@@big_tunaaaa Let's not forget about Wanda as well
my best friendly char webber is also no thtere, same with monster characters like wurt and wortox. Weird.
@@matthews_thrifty-works6074 my best guess is Wanda wasn't supposed to be there
I saw Wilson here in the background at. 2:27
I can feel Maxwells rage, imagine ruling over a world and then becoming trapped in it, I would be triggered too
To be fair, Maxwell was always trapped and never really had any real power. The Constant was more of just his personal project to keep him occupied while the shadows did what they needed from him. Now he’s stuck surviving in that weird place where he is basically a former god, which was nothing more than a canvas for his weird projects to keep him occupied while he lured others to take his place.
@@noncreativeguy7284nah former King not god
This. This was the best DST animated short yet!!!
I agree, although I think the main trailer for original don't starve is a close second.
@Pablo Legaza respectable.
I'm studying animation just so I could work for Klei in the future. This is phenomenal
I really like Klei's artstyle animation,It may be less detail but really unique, I would like to see another animation like that in the future. Best of luck for your studies
Wojtek, that name sounds familiar
At 2:49 you can see a brief glimpse of the anger Charlie has towards Maxwell for everything that happened.
In fact, she herself is to blame. She herself climbed into his secret room, while Max protected her from the shadows to the end.
@@zmei_sssssss She was worried for her friend, she had no idea thar he's practicing magic of the malevolant sort. She's a victim here, a woman who's life has been taken away from her and had done nothing but be kind and caring for Maxwell
@@zealotoftheorchard9853
Do you think if Maxwell had told her the truth, things would have been different? In any case, she would like to protect him from danger, and perhaps it could have been even worse.
1:31 lol man have low sanity
Willow holding her lighter like she was considering burning Maxwell's body was slightly concerning xD
Willow mains be like:
love how this implies charlie got pulled into the constant and immediately got destroyed by fuelweaver within seconds
"I suppose it's best to keep appearances..."
-Maxwell's new Charlie warning quote
that's such a neat attention to detail
I just love Maxwell and Charlie together, their interactions are all I need to feel happy ♥️♥️♥️
Klei's animations are top tier, as usual.
But I can't help myself to laugh at how comically large Maxwell's head feels like
I wonder If Maxwell considers the others to be friends and not betray them. He can probably help them by acting as a double agent.
Well, he's worked with Wilson on several occasions and spent the most time around him.
Damn bro Kamoshida plays DST...
On a serious note I doubt Maxwell would forget that he still owes Wilson for freeing him.
@@antynomity well, his as much of a victim as everyone here. The one thing he cares the most is Charlie (probably) so if that means colab with other. He probably do it. He's opportunistic after all, but everyone have their goals
Unable, charlie is litteraly the one who orchestrates everything, she knows every single move and thought within the constant.
I think it’s gonna be a story arc
We know that Maxwell’s wants is to seem bigger and more important to be the people around
-obvious from his dapper and demeanor
His needs is probably to be accepted by the people around him
I imagine he is either about to betray them then reels back cause the power of love
The fact that Maxwell is teller than everyone in the end than the beginning is amazing
This is the only series where every new update has been genuinely exciting to watch. Plus I spend the whole time waiting to see if Webber shows up.
0:37 Worlds most useful shadow duelists
The last 3 shorts (WX, Wicker and now Maxwell) Are your best yet! I love the thought you have put into these shorts Klei will 100% go down as one of the best indie companies with how well you make games and animation.
Wanda too (imo)
@@attilamonus953 everyone short's are really good just the last 3 have been really high quality and longer which i wouldn't mind if they were just 2 mins but the extra work they put in is really cool
@@Bluestpikmin oh its just that back when that short came out i commented that its best one so far and if klei keeps releasing increasingly better shorts then i cant keep up😅
I think the best one stays the cook Warly with a great reminder of alzheimar decease 🙏🏻
@@MiradreamsBlogspot noo😭
I'm not sure if on 2:02 it was just a "Spliced footage" effect where memories or whatever are getting mixed up or something.
But maybe Maxwell was lucky enough to find the chair when he was first brought into that land.
Charlie in the other hand probably had to survive the whole time to find her way out. and everything led her down into the Atrium.
Activating the portal, she probably saw something. Whatever They are. But it also probably summoned or revived the Ancient Fuelweaver, attacking her and either killed her but she was gravely hurt and They took 'Pity' on her imbued her with their powers, nightmares fuel. To not only in a way revive her but give her unfound powers, making her who she is now.
Manipulating her, whispering things to her. having her fix the portal again and activating it for whatever purpose.
Maybe she knows what it really does or she THINKS she does.
Whatever is happening, even Maxwell is confused on what she's got planned.
Whatever happened between the fuel weaver and Charlie, you can clearly see via the death animation of fuel weaver that Charlie doesn’t exactly like him
I love how in the chessboard while everyone was struggling and scared warly is just there cooking
she really said let him cook
"I Reject My Humanity Wilson!"
*wait a minute there's a theory here*
THIS is the one I've been waiting for. Maxwell has always been such a big favorite and I feel absolutely spoiled to death with this short! So many emotions, but throughout it all Maxwell just seems to tired and sad. I am SO excited to see where this will lead! Thank you as always Klei, you knock it out of the park every single time!!
Fun fact: There are 4 survivors who do not appear on the chess table anytime
Wortox, Wormwood, Wurt and Wanda
While Wilson only appears on the first time and is absent on the second
so as webber
I still remember the day I've played Dont Strave Beta on my College's computer lab (they didnt restrict websites yet) and I didnt knew what was going on and killed rabbits. Today its a massive game with huge lore. I will always love these Dont starve animations.
"i didn't knew what is going on and killed rabbits" that made my day 😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I like how the scene with chessboard at 3:15 only has the characters reworked so far. That means charlie changed their powers to make a use for her not maxwell that originally gave them their powers. I think of it that way because there isn't a wilson figure there who hasn't had a rework yet and any of the new characters: wanda, wurt, wortox and wormwood.
Huh, that’s true! Although Webber isn’t on the board despite having gotten a rework, I can’t help but feel you’re onto something.
I would agree with you if Webber weren't missing too, also not being a character original from the constant and not being an original from DST
This is true! The characters after the Turn of Tides were on the board too.. so when characters get a rework they’ll be added.
@@marxtrash well my persoanl theory on webbers absense is due to the fact he is both a human of our world with a soul and all AND a monster of the constant
@@devi5383 heres a theory is he reason why wilson is not on the board
He has had the worst out of all of the survivors in dst got stuck in all the realms ship wreck, ds, dst, hamlet, and even beat maxwell. The reason why he is not on there is because all of those pieces are pawns.
Wilson is an actual formidable foe to charlie.
0:54 arguably the best music ever :)
Maxwell, one of my favorite dst characters.
I just noticed that there are 12 chess pieces in the chess board at 3:17, mawell is the only black piece, all others are white chess pieces, in a normal game of chess, both players has 12 chess pieces, someone else pointed out that all the monster based characters are missing, wilson is also missing, for some reason, maybe the missing pieces are considered wildcards? Wilson reacted to maxwell's rose whe he got up, wurt, wormwood and wortox native to the constant and webber is half human, half spider, makeing them litteraly half native, either way, there has to be a reason why these characters are missing from the chessboard at this point
What about DLC characters? The in-game reason why Wheeler, Wilba, Woodlegs and Walani are not with the rest of the survivors is because they belong to DLC content but, what is the storyline reason?
And then there’s wes, whos not only on a black square, but on the ninth row, however a chess board should only have eight
Well the monsters aren’t there because they belong in the constant, Webber is something, I don’t know if Webber was in the constant originally but regardless most monsters do not make the cut that belonged in the constant
@@pixelturtle5041 It might be because he wasn’t originally supposed to end up in the Constant
@@big_tunaaaa the lore is they're still in their original worlds, wormwood fell and warly sailed. the rest are still either in hamlet or shipwrecked.
I'm actually going insane, another astounding win for the Don't Starve team for consistantly keeping their fan base on the edge of their seats 👏
When Don't Starve Movies... or at least novel and/or book... this stuff too awesome to "just become clip(animated short)"... we love you guys...
i'm sure netflix wouldn't think twice about agreeing to do a mini series of dont starve together, it has so much content that it would make a lot of amazing episodes, maybe showing more of the characters' stories
I knew this trailer was gonna be the most interesting, but man it still blew my expectations, not only did it give us lore to chew on, but also gave us a story spanning to both Constant and Earth!
MAXWELL WHY?!? YOU ALREADY KNOW IT DIDN'T WORK OUT SO WELL THE FIRST TIME!!!
Amazing short as always Klei! I look forward to what's in store once we get the new roadmap!
Because he is sorry about Charlie.
(because of his quotes in game)
it’s more of a guilt for charlie, and less of him wanting to regain power
what does he have to lose?
@@yololthepikminenjoyer agreed, because unlike WX, Maxy has a heart.
Every man that loved, eager for another chance...
Ive noticed that everxy characters that are missing from the chessboard are all the ones that didnt originate from the constant, with the exception of Wilson and Wanda.
So every character missing is Wilson, Wanda, Webber, Wortox, Wormwood and Wurt.
The love you give this franchise feels my heart with joy. Seriously, can't even express it to you enough like I keep doing lol. Thank you for your time, Klei.
My favorite feelings:
1 - when your game updates.
2 - when lore become deeper.
3 - when you survive 1 more day in real life.
I *really* wasn't expecting to be genuinely frightened by 1:45. Klei really does know their horror.
Кто бы что не говорил, Максвелл один из самых душевных персонажей
These shorts are always so entertaining to watch, even when taking into consideration that there’s absolutely no spoken dialogue. Amazing work as always, Klei! Here’s to an amazing 2023! 🥂

@@Jerrycooldude and I just dropped in And saw this
Why sr pelo got low comments and likes woah
Oh dios mio, afropelo omo
Wow, we can only imagine what Klei has in mind for this. I think we know they won’t disappoint though.
Always had a feeling Charlie would be best girl. And here we are all those years later.
Maxwell has been, and continues to be, my favourite character. Since playing the Don't Starve Web version and tinkering with Science Points, all the way to playing almost solely as him in DST, this has been a moment I've been waiting for.
Good show, Klei.
Wow! Amazing animated short! Seriously blew away my expectations with everything y'all managed to squeeze into it. Seriously still wishing for a full animated show, and huge props for making them all so good!
I AM LITERALLY SHAKING FROM EXCITEMENT MAXWELL IS ONE OF MY TOP FAVS... GO DILF GO
EDIT. THAT WAS INSANE. that was truly genuinely *insane* i cannot believe this all of their stories are taking a turn for the most interesting POSSIBLE and im HERE FOR IT dst lore is growing and flourishing!!!!!
I wasn't expecting to see "GO DILF GO" in this comment section
youre very welcome!!!!
Maxwell simp?
@@Andrew-ch3xj that's me ❤️
He is NOT a dilf he is a PATHETIC POOR LITTLE MEOW MEOW
I love how you've used your older lore bits here. Such a nostalgia trip!
I have never had my itch for the Don't Starve lore come back this quickly as it has watching this!
It's crazy how once upon a time I pieced this together, now DST is putting all the of it out there. As always the animation team did an amazing job!
I felt bad for Maxwell, seeing himself in the statue, he was just so clearly tired
Then the flashbacks and Maxwell's friendship dynamic was so sweet, but seeing how it went downhill from there broke my heart
I WENT ALMOST SPEECHLESS WHEN I SAW HOW CHARLIE GAVE HIM A NEW ROSE
Seeing the other survivors concerned for Maxwell and then smiling a little at him relieved when he woke up made me happy not going to lie
The fact that the only one who seemed to notice the rose was Wilson, oh no there is going to be more chaos
Also notice how when Charlie puts Maxwell but now as a Black Piece (which made me go "D:") between all the White Pieces who are the survivors, there seems to be everyone there just like before, but I couldn't help but notice that Wilson isn't anywhere in the chessboard (edit:unlike in the scene before I mean), is Charlie planning something for Wilson? I am worried for our favorite scientist
As always Klei this is another absolutely brilliant and masterfully done animation! The LORE T H I C K E N S AND I ALWAYS WILL BE HERE FOR IT
Thank you for your generosity and hard work!
There is no Wanda, Wortox Wormwood and Wurt.
@@Just_a_Dude80 of course
But the ones that do appear here are in the first scene pieces, where it shows Maxwell along the other survivors as white pieces, you can see that Wilson is there, but AFTER Charlie gave the new rose to Maxwell and we see again the chess pieces but Maxwell being a Black chess piece now with the rest of other survivors who are White chess pieces,everyone but Wilson, who is nowhere to be seen. That could mean that Charlie is planning something with Wilson or something is going to happen to him.
A Wilson refresh/rework is long overdue, I am guessing there are some hints for one.
Wilson is the other player the protag 😎
Maybe Wilson IS the other player, the OG protagonist, and not a pawn anymore!
Okay, current observations:
Charlie offers Maxwell extra powers (I'm not sure.)
The chess pieces are black and white, the characters are white meanwhile the monsters are black. Maxwell's piece is black after he took the rose. Traitor?
After Maxwell stood up he is slightly taller than the other characters. Body proportions were always a bit off in Don't Starve, but this time I think it's used as a plot point.
Charlie is trying to get more allies, possibly for a big plan in the end.
I guess Maxwell is going to betray Charlie
I don’t think Wilson was observing the rose,but the change in maxwells height
Y’all notice that Wilson wasn’t on the chess board?
Don't starve: Among us
Maxwell is imposter lol
I’ve been waiting for so long for Maxwell lore!!!
i dont know what to even say!! this short genuinely made me proud of being a fan of this game series for almost a decade.
How is it, that Klei Just does everything perfectly? Animations, games, everything... Please, never change
So he is an IMPOSTOR, and he is AMONG the survivors.
I love it so much! We've looked deeper into Maxwell and Charlie's past relationship, and we're getting potential for new developments in the story moving forward!
i wonder what Wilson not being on the board means... love these animations every time Klei.
He can briefly be seen at 2:28
@@wadewilson9818 But he's not on the main one where Charlie is.
@@bernardopratademelo6571 don't forget the monster survivors being gone as well like Webber, Wortox, Wormwood, and Wort
There is no wanda
@@jalilsadeq5587 she forgot to be on the board
I love how DST doesn't look like it would have a big story to it but then you see these animations and go like HOW FAR DOES THIS GO??? And you wonder how far they'll go I'm excited to see his rework on console
Fantastic storytelling Klei, you outdo yourselves with every character refresh. I adore Charlie & the twist is exciting!
There has never been a game that I've just continued playing, year after year, like don't starve together. Thank you Klei! 💛
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! Maxwell's been my favorite character since the first game, all the hidden lore, pictures, comic, adventure mode, that first short about him and Charlie. And nowadays I felt the lack of him in the story, nice to see him finally interact more with the group. I always wondered how would they treat him considering he's the reason everyone's in this world, but it seems they forgave him and actually care. And it was great to see him interact with Charlie for the first time within this world. Can't wait for more lore!
i cant believe they added orangE in dst 0:30
Maxwell's eyes show how he wasn't evil and wicked before. They gain shades of grey after he grows more tired and influenced more by Them.
I think it's important to note that in the chess board scene (3:18), the only people who are chess pieces are the human characters and WX78. What's weirder is that all the monster characters aren't part of the board,
as well as Wilson.
And for some reason Wes is white but stands in a black tile. Not sure if it's just a mistake or a foreshadowing
@@reidalyn2328 either it's because Wes was never meant to be brought into the Constant, or just simply classic Wes behavior
@@pandu1018 Classic Wes L
3:07 I love how Wendy don't even care about her uncle C,
I love how these characters just don't talk. Its so much better this way for animated shorts.
THE LORE THE LORE PIECE IS REEEAL! Also Charlie thinks she's ahead but Wilson the true king is growing and so does his inspiration who knows what can happen~
I liked the detail at the start where you could see Alter's eye ball moving around.
This gotta be my favorite short as of now, it was specially wholesome seeing Maxwell's relationship with Charlie! too bad things didn't end too well for them.
11/10 animation and backstory. Glad the story is still connected with the teasers after all these years
These are always super cool to see.
The lore aspect mixed with the entertaining animation are really cool!
I look forward to seeing what else y'all have in store for DST.
Klei i dont know what to say. This is so well made and i love that you included Charlie alot in this cinematic. The game is just awesome i love everything about it. The Artstyle, the updates, the reworks, the shorts, the skins just everything. Ty for making such an amazing game and i cant wait for more Updates. If Charlie is going to be a playable Character at some day youve really fulfilled my wishes. I just want to say thank you for everything.
