Hey everyone, we really hope you enjoy the Maxwell update! We're wrapping up our year and getting ready for 2023. Along with looking forward, this time of the year we also reflect on what we’ve done. It’s been a fantastic adventure not just this year, but each year since we launched Don’t Starve Together back in 2016. We're going to do something we don't normally do and use the top comment to ask a favour. The Steam awards have once again opened for nominations, and we thought we’d ask players to please consider nominating Don't Starve Together for the Steam Awards 2022 in the Labor of Love category. You can vote on our game page here: store.steampowered.com/app/322330/Dont_Starve_Together We also thought it would be fun to put together a little poster of all the past major themed updates to celebrate another year! klei.gg/DSTLaborOfLove Thank you to all the players this year and over the years. We can't wait to show you what we have in store for 2023. [EDIT] If you have any trouble voting from our steam page, it's probably just a steam update day hiccup and you just need to wait a moment or you might just need a browser / cache refresh. Alternatively, you can also try directly from the Steam Awards Page and search for the game you want to vote in each category and try that way here: store.steampowered.com/steamawards/nominations Thank you so much to everyone who considers us and has been a part of the journey of Don't Starve

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?

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

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.

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!

Interesting move, making Maxwell an antagonistic force in the story again. I can't wait to see what Charlie has planned for him!

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

As someone who grew up with Don't Starve, seeing the game come this far makes me tear up with joy

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!

My favorite feelings: 1 - when your game updates. 2 - when lore become deeper. 3 - when you survive 1 more day in real life.

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

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.

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!

@@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.

Wow, we can only imagine what Klei has in mind for this. I think we know they won’t disappoint though.

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!!

Always had a feeling Charlie would be best girl. And here we are all those years later.

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.

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.

Y’all notice that Wilson wasn’t on the chess board?

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.

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.

So he is an IMPOSTOR, and he is AMONG the survivors.

Кто бы что не говорил, Максвелл один из самых душевных персонажей

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

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!

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~

this felt like every characters except for Wilson and Dlcs are incompetent and easy to be used as pawn. Wilson is simply too knowledgeable and experienced to fall for Charlie’s trick.

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.

The closer we are getting to her return, the faster things are going to happen, the faster the story moves on, the more we see of her, AAAAAAAAAAA

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!

I love how these characters just don't talk. Its so much better this way for animated shorts.

This has big "Friends on the other side" vibes and I fucking love it. Villainous trickster Maxwell is best Maxwell.

Nah, if you told me 5 years ago that they created such a story, I wouldn’t believe you. This was the backstory we all needed. And I love how he’s part of the survival crew, but secretly drifting off. Fantastic!

3:07 I love how Wendy don't even care about her uncle C,

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.

I liked the detail at the start where you could see Alter's eye ball moving around.

I’ve been waiting for so long for Maxwell lore!!!

i cant believe they added orangE in dst 0:30

Klei's lore animations are truly the best thing to watch after a long day

I think deep down Max has always been my favourite Don't Starve character. Being introduced as the villain only to find at the end he's forced into a chair of misery. It's really nice to see his lore expanded

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.

11/10 animation and backstory. Glad the story is still connected with the teasers after all these years

damm, the lore, the characters checking if maxwell is okay, I LOVE IT. TX KLEI FOR THIS AMAZING SHORT

3:16 I hate to be "that guy" but your chess board magically grew from 8x8 to a 9x8 board here

I love how you've used your older lore bits here. Such a nostalgia trip!
