Lets Talk about SW version.
To some, its no secret that I have a Shipwrecked version tucked away. Its pretty unstable and is pretty out of date compared to Playable Pets, and only has a few mobs in it. Since I just released Cave mobs I might as well talk about SW.

The original plan was to wait till Shipwrecked was completely finished before I actually tried to finish it, but I figured some people don't like to wait when there is a sharkitten to be played as. So I'm making a thread here to see if people want it now or later. Here is the break down if people do want it to be released:

  • The mod will only include mobs that can traverse land, the sea monsters will have to wait.
  • The mod will be huge in file size due to the contents I have to port over, this also makes updating it kind of a pain, so updates/fixes will be released in bulk.
  • Mod will be bottom priority when there is bugs/crashes with the other Playable Pets until release.
  • Some features of the Shipwrecked mobs might not be ported over (I'll try my best to port over everything I can).
  • Mod might be broken for a little while if SW ever does gets ported to DST.
  • Suggestions to this mod will be bottom priority compared to other mods.

If people want it released, I will release it after I add a few more mobs to it and fix some outdated code. So maybe a week or less.

TL;DR: Want shipwrecked mobs now or later?

Hmm, perhaps now? I don't really know becuase there are pros and cons of it being released now or later. If it was released now, that'd mean people would be able to play it and have fun quicker, but there would probably be lots of bugs, if it was released later it would be less buggy, but you'd have to wait longer. So ultimatly my answer is now

Once I update the code it should be as stable as the other mods. Its just that some features might not make it through. If there are bugs it just might be a day or two before they get fixed rather than an hour or two.

I think it should be now. Sure, the updatding will be annoying but still possible when youre finished with the other PP mod. While that happens, we could still enjoy the SW version before the updates DO manage to happen.

Personally I could wait, but this depends on how much time you expect to put into making changes as SW develops and the ways that SW itself plans to change. Your other mods have been top quality and I really appreciate the time you've put in to making them the best they could be. But I say the community isn't quite ready for something that is unfinished even as it is, they're gonna want changes made just as fast as SW can update when it does.

So on the short end I say wait. As the source material improves the mod can become much more complete and when you release it people will appreciate that. Hell I'd be fine with waiting until SW is on Together so you don't have to port anything.

Later as I dont like the idea of SW monsters in regular dont starve and this will take away from time spent on the other mods

I appreciate all the feedback on this! I think I'll hold it off for now and wait at least until SW is actually finished. Afterall, Through The Ages will most likely come before the SW port so I'll be busy with that when it comes around (if it comes with new mobs that is).

P.S.
I did some modding in SW to see if it was possible to make playable mobs that can only live in water, heres the result: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=632134460
