DST's Art and Game Play Style?

[Chesmu]

What do you think about this game's style?

Do you think that the lore and the core of this game is directed towards Chinese/ Japanese/ Korean anime style?

Will it be more fitting/ fun if developers and modders brought that kind of style, or developed and continued their own style (The current one)?

I personally think DST has a unique style and is misunderstood with other common anime styles. And it takes DST's originality and creativity away when we compare it to those.

thats where the whole
''there should be a don't starve movie directed by tim burton'' joke comes from
its sertanly unique
but defently not anime. its defently more tim burtonish

Yes. The one thing that makes it so clear, is that common foreign animes tend to focus more on body and sexuality or related emotions.
While DST's style focuses more on character's face, to bring mystery to the table.

Nothing against anime but it's not fitting in DST like all these anime character mods.

Actually the very first time I agree totally with your words.

Anime is anime and I have nothing against the people who enjoy it BUT it doesn't need to be in every game and specially not in games like DST which has as you said just a unique style and art where anime is just not fitting in.

Sure, that style has it's own audience and there is nothing against that. It's about where it's used.

There is nothing anime related in the game no. Only the optional mods what people are making.
And ofc it's optional and people are free to do whatever mod they want.

As P_dyud said it's Burton style.

Yes. I meant the workshop content, not the game's official content.

If you use anime mod characters, and just look at it in comparison to the world around it (and other characters in general), the two styles horrifically clash. In it's core, DS/T is not meant to have any eye candy*, no vibrant, happy colors. It's a grim, dark, cold world, and your waifu most likely will never fit the bill.

That's true. Especially because the common anime tend to focus at emotions and happy stuff as you said. But DST however, focuses more at dark side of the characters and mysteries of them.
