@Lexford I found the mod through a google search while checking to see if anyone had made any The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince mods in other games. That was how I happened across your mod.

@RatPhantom Thank you so much! I'm moved by such kind words! When making this mod, it was so much fun seeing all the character quirks combine into actual mechanics that compliment each other! (cooking by a fire lowering Princess' sanity, then getting sanity back by feeding Prince cooked food)

It is such an honor that my mod alone was what got you into playing Don't Starve! May I ask, though: how did you discover this mod if you didn't have Don't Starve beforehand?

I know I'm extremely late in showing my appreciation, but I absolutely love this mod. In fact, the only reason I bought Don't Starve was to play this mod, and it did not disappoint. It really changes how you play the game since the Wolf form is basically unkillable, but the Prince is still vulnerable and must be protected. And, when you combine that with all the other little details included like how the Princess is terrified of fire, and giving flowers to the Prince helps to maintain his sanity, this mod really feels like a love letter to fans of "The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince." Thank you for making this.

@Dank Forgive the late reply, but I hope you're enjoying my mod! These two characters deserve to be recognized more, and I'm glad this mod has been getting attention.

@emirP There are some bugs I've been meaning to patch, lately, so a small hotfix should be expected soon. Other than that, as much as I'd love to add things like custom sound files for Princess/Wolf and Prince, I don't believe I'm able to add much more to this mod with my limited knowledge, unfortunately. What would you be interested in seeing, though?

Don't you mind to update this? Am very into dis mod, so, is there any chances that u would update it in future?
Magenta Lizard Jul 3 @ 1:08am 
I hope to see these characters in dst one day :happygear:
Dank Jun 14 @ 8:24pm 
Bought the game just for this mod. My love for these two go above and beyond and this mod is AWESOME!
MCAiryn May 25 @ 7:59am 
This mod is so amazing! I think it deserves to be my first favorited mod!
Lexford  [author] May 13 @ 1:06am 
@Dark Ruler I'll work on fixing that bug next time I touch this mod. In the mean time, an effective (if awkward) workaround for being permanently frozen would be to exit the game to the main menu and return to your save. Princess should be thawed out after that!
Dark Ruler May 13 @ 12:25am 
The princess is attacked after being frozen in wolf form, sometimes becoming permanently immobile and unable to release her transformation.
Lexford  [author] May 11 @ 4:07pm 
@Dark Ruler Princess and Prince are designed to have their own hound-related attacks. This was intended as a way to discourage leaving Prince completely alone for too long (he can still be harassed off-screen), but at least you can get more monster meat for Princess! Prince can hide in a bush hat if he's wearing one while idling, so you can get him to hide if you don't want any hounds to target him.

As for Princess' profile image, I couldn't find a way to get a clear image of her like the other characters, so unfortunately, her lighting is not consistent with the other characters'. (Don't Starve sprites are very annoying)
Dark Ruler May 11 @ 3:49pm 
And the princess's avatar on the archive interface is a bit rough, looking somewhat out of place compared to other characters.
Dark Ruler May 11 @ 3:39pm 
Two characters calculate the attack time of the hounds independently, which leads to a wave of hounds targeting the prince, making him vulnerable to harm. Is this by design or a bug?

Is there a DST version?

作者考慮將此MOD發佈到聯機版去嗎?可以的話我將萬分感謝你:ageivmassheal:

And the 5 Hp change doesn't change too much.Start with a 60 percent protects helmet with 1000 durability with out any other useful bilities is better?
Jbecl Sleeper May 7, 2024 @ 1:01am 
Hello,just for myself,the Hp=50 is balanced.But sometimes the prince stuck for some special environment and he died so you know...Maybe the save just shut down.So,maybe 60 Hp for player and 55 for prince?
Lexford  [author] May 6, 2024 @ 10:13pm 
@xals For me, I think the main appeal about this character mod is the dynamic of managing two characters at once, where the player is now playing as the strong bodyguard, and their companion is the one who needs help. But, somewhere down the line, I might make a "separate" character where it's just the Princess without her Prince. In terms of character story, it would look strange for Princess to be all alone. It would be like playing as Wendy without Abigail, or playing as Walter without Woby. After all, Princess only got her "princess" form from a Witch in order to help Prince. But mechanically, it could be a fun alternative!

I would like to ask: Do you believe Prince might need some buffs to be more helpful (or less helpless/needy), or do you just wish to play as Princess without Prince? It is a bit tricky to balance a character to be "helpless" while trying not to make them completely useless.

is there a version with just the liar princess?:steamthumbsup:
Lexford  [author] May 5, 2024 @ 5:15am 
@jbecl - Gold Blance JIN I'm glad I was able to help. At first, I was hoping to give Prince the ability to ride on the same boat as the player, but I wasn't able to figure out how to code that in properly. So, unfortunately, players will have to potentially use twice the amount of resources if they wish to give Prince the same quality boat as they have. A feature I may consider adding in the future (if I have the time for it) would be an item that would allow Prince's boat to be "leashed" to the player's boat, that way he'll be able to keep up at the same speed when sailing. But, all that aside, I'm very glad you're still able to enjoy my mod, despite the little issue there! I hope you continue to enjoy surviving in the Constant as the Liar Princess and her Blind Prince!
Jbecl Sleeper May 5, 2024 @ 3:55am 
I used to only use mods that like five stars,much subscribes,now I know the mods which match me is the best.Thank for you create this mod.And,I don't mean this isn't a good mod!:D
Jbecl Sleeper May 5, 2024 @ 3:52am 
OK,I understood.And not other mods unless mods like UI.His boat is rubbish,mine is super boat~~
Lexford  [author] May 5, 2024 @ 1:01am 
@jbecl - Gold Blance JIN Hello! If Prince won't follow you when you try to call him, you might be too far for him to track you. He should be able to follow you again if you call him while you're much closer to him. (right-mouse click him or press the C key while he is nearby) He will lose track of you if you get too far from him, so be sure he stays close! If he's still unable to follow you, can you let me know what boat he's riding on, or if you have other mods installed?
Jbecl Sleeper May 4, 2024 @ 8:12pm 
Hi!In SW,I just make a faster boat than the prince's,the prince said"lost my way"and would not come around me anymore.
Lexford  [author] Apr 19, 2024 @ 1:48pm 
@QueniX Thank you very much, and unfortunately, this mod is not yet controller-compatible. For now, you can work around the issue by changing Steam's controller input options to include the keyboard keys that this mod would otherwise require.

I don't believe Don't Starve utilizes L3 and R3 by default, so you can make L3 the "M" (default transformation) key and R3 the "C" (default Prince) key if you wish.
jumpin on u Apr 19, 2024 @ 12:07pm 
Looks like a masterfully crafted mod, can it be played with a controller?
Lexford  [author] Aug 22, 2023 @ 10:00pm 
@Boxer Thank you very much! This mod took a very long time to get to the state it is now, but I'm happy with how they work, currently! I'm glad you enjoy the results!
CallMeIshmael Aug 22, 2023 @ 6:57pm 
The effort to make this mod is insane, and it offers some pretty fun challenges. Amazing work OP!
♥♥♥ Bread May 4, 2023 @ 2:20am 
Damn boy, great work, mama is proud of you!
Lexford  [author] Apr 4, 2023 @ 7:25pm 
@Newt_5 And thank you too, for reporting these issues to me, as well as enjoying my mod! Keep yourself and Prince safe, and Don't Starve!
Newt_5 Apr 4, 2023 @ 6:40pm 
As far as I've been playing (sadly not much) I thankfully haven't experience any crash worthy things happening except the flower crown that I mention earlier.I'll report anything that goes wrong if I come across any. Thank you for responding and making this mod awesome.
Lexford  [author] Apr 1, 2023 @ 7:58pm 
@Newt_5 Oh dear, it seems like this new string of updates has brought forth quite a lot of problems for my mod. I've managed to fix the garland and pretty parasol problem, but I've also encountered new issues, such as the game crashing after saving and quitting without DLC while Prince is talking, and sanity monsters not spawning while Princess is sane and Prince is insane. It may be a while before I upload a new hotfix to remove these issues, so I hope such problems won't hamper peoples' experiences with my mod too much in the meantime. If you encounter any more bugs, please let me know. I aim to make this mod to be as mechanically polished as possible!
Newt_5 Mar 31, 2023 @ 7:24pm 
Hi, don't know if your still working on the mod but when I give the prince a flower crown it immediately crashes the game. So far the mod is amazing though.
Lexford  [author] Dec 30, 2022 @ 7:32pm 
@404_coffee.exe This is an extremely late reply, but it's funny seeing someone mention they "blindly" played a mod that stars a blind character, hahaha! I hope you enjoyed the Liar Princess game if you did try it out! (also, you commented a day after my birthday, heeheehee!)
404_coffee.exe Oct 11, 2022 @ 5:04am 
wait I just read the description I should check out the game, I played with the character blindly before reading lol
404_coffee.exe Oct 11, 2022 @ 5:02am 
oh my gosh this is super cool, I do not know if the characters are from something or are original characters but I absolutely love how it works!
Bacon Boywife~ Oct 7, 2022 @ 5:14am 
PSA for anyone using these two in Hamlet, avoid the BFB like the plague cuz only the Princess will be abducted.

I couldn't get through the caves to escape the pinnacle because of her inability to use fire.
Thesmartone777 Sep 21, 2022 @ 11:41pm 
ah, yes, that would pose a problem. oh well, you've proven you know how to balance, i trust whatever you come up with will be fine. Looking forward to it!
Lexford  [author] Sep 21, 2022 @ 10:31pm 
@Thesmartone777 I've decided against granting sight to Prince with items, because that would be a big "no-no" on a night of the full moon. Princess wouldn't want Prince to find out about her wolf form, so I think having night vision items not work for Prince is the easiest way for a situation like this to not happen.
Thesmartone777 Sep 20, 2022 @ 3:57am 
hey i got curious and hooked up some stuff about eye damage, it's quite unlikely that the prince is 100% blind, its not like he'd be able to see anything really, but he'd still be able to see light vs. dark, maybe color (think blurry canvas), and definitely not any detail. however, this all means that the idea of using sight enhancing items actually makes "some" sense.
Thesmartone777 Sep 14, 2022 @ 6:12pm 
As i said, Logic? no. Balance? yes.
Lexford  [author] Sep 14, 2022 @ 5:42pm 
@Thesmartone777 On second thought, it seems like the cowl and moggles convert sound and smell into sight instead of granting the wearer enhanced smelling or hearing, so it might not make too much sense for a character who's eyes have been damaged. But I do think it's a thematic fit to grant Prince more awareness through equipment that are sense-based!
Lexford  [author] Sep 14, 2022 @ 5:33pm 
@Thesmartone777 I think it'd make some sense! I imagine Princess gives off a distinct smell as a wolf, and if Prince were to find out that her voice is connected to that smell thanks to the moggles being scent-based, he might start connecting some dots. With the cowl being based on echo-location, Prince could easily determine that the shape of the thing with Princess's voice would not match human anatomy and would figure something out from there.
Thesmartone777 Sep 14, 2022 @ 5:27pm 
That...wouldn't make much sense logic wise, but balancing wise, great idea. Looking forward to it!
Lexford  [author] Sep 14, 2022 @ 5:04pm 
@Thesmartone777 I think Prince becoming more "autonomous" would most certainly be tied to wearing a night vision hat, like the cowl or moggles! I always liked the idea of leaving him in a grove of trees and have him chop all of them down while I'm gone. On the downside, Princess would refuse to turn into wolf form while Prince is wearing any of those hats, as she doesn't want to risk Prince finding out that she is actually a monster.
Lexford  [author] Sep 14, 2022 @ 5:01pm 
@Thesmartone777 Aww, I was certain that Princess and Prince being a duo would set them apart from other character mods...
At the very least, I already have all the essential assets finished, I'll just need to figure out how they would interact with the many DST-exclusive features, and how to reprogram some code that would be outdated in DST's coding vocabulary.
Thesmartone777 Sep 14, 2022 @ 10:36am 
OH! IDEA! You could have the "do things while im away" start when you give him an item, like a cane or something. So you dont gotta fiddle with UI as much.
Thesmartone777 Sep 14, 2022 @ 10:29am 
I'm sorry to hear about the DST, ive heard that porting can be either easy, or hard, id imagine it being a character makes it harder. extremely so for one that has two. but there are other mods that have the whole duo thing going on. i'd use those as reference to make it easier. Only if/When you do decide to port.
Lexford  [author] Sep 14, 2022 @ 9:16am 
@Thesmartone777 As for a DST port, I currently have no plans to make such a thing, I'm sorry. DST is such a different beast to code that I'm not as familiar with it. I might try to port it to DST as soon as the current update chain (Setting the Stage, I think?) is over, but I can't promise that for certain.
