Have Fun :D

DST Academy was founded in December 2015 and in it's more than two years of existence it enjoyed a great and steadily grow. Things slowed down somewhat in the past few months due to my lack of time to take care of DST Academy in general, despite the community still growing.

DST Academy deserves better and that's why I'm happy and proud to announce that Ellie, a long time member and valued moderator, will become the new owner of DST Academy and will take care of the community from now on.

The future of DST Academy is bright and now even more! :)

Thank you and don't starve alone!

2017 was a blast! Our community grew faster than ever, we reached 1000+ members on our Steam group[d3a7.link], 140 registered users on our Discord server[d3a7.link] and even launched a small landing-page for our website[d3a7.link].

Here's a small breakdown of topics regarding of what's happening in 2018 and beyond.


Throughout 2017 we've been running two dedicated servers for the community, located in Europe, which were received quite well by all of you and our endless-mode server featured 1.000+ day worlds repeatedly. Costs of renting servers aren't neglectable and although we'd prefer to keep them running for you, we had to decide to close the servers down for now due to financial reasons. That's unfortunate but we will be looking for affordable servers throughout 2018 and hopefully we can offer dedicated servers again in the future.


We started our Discord server in August 2016 and have reached 140 registered users by now. To boost member-count and general activity on our Discord server, and to make it more useful for everybody, we've planned to invest lots of time in making our own Discord bot better in 2018. At the moment the bot is capable of posting pre-defined links and finding topics on the DST wiki. In the future we want to make the bot a central tool of our community, helping members to promote community content, find people to play with and servers to play on, and much, much more.


The main attention in the new year will be community growth. Our goal is to create a big, thriving and active, inclusive and welcoming Don't Starve Together community and support everyone to have the perfect gaming experience, playing one of the best survival games to date. To achieve this goal we need the help, feedback and input of you. Regardless of what your involvement in Don't Starve Together is, whether you're a gamer, a mod-developer, an artist, a streamer, a content-creator, or even a game-developer; we want to make your experience in our community great and that's why we want to hear from you!

DST Academy was founded in December 2015 and since then over 900 gamers joined the community on Steam. DST Academy hosts two public Don't Starve Together servers and maintains a Discord server for the community.

Running game-servers creates costs which we have covered with our own, private pocket money for some time now. To further grow the community and lower some of our financial burden we need your support!

We decided to create a Patreon Page[www.patreon.com], which makes it easier to collect donations and it's transparent to see how many donations we receive. By becoming a supporter on Patreon you'll get a humble thank-you in form of a small promotion on our Discord Server[chat.dst.academy].

Discord perks when becoming a Patron:

• Distinguished `supporter` role.
  
• Access to the internal `administration` channel.
  
• Access to the supporter-exclusive `lounge` channel.
  
• Permission to use external emoji.
  
• Permission to post links.

This is just a small thank-you for supporting us. Eventually we will add more perks in the future.

Donations will ONLY be used for ...

• paying the game server fees.
  
• paying the "dst.academy" domain fees.

Donations will NOT be used for ...

• running the community in general.
  
• managing community-related things like recruiting admins, etc.
  
• developing systems like the ingame live-stream.

TL/DR: Donations will only be used for covering bills but never for personal efforts or similar.

• DST Academy on Patreon[www.patreon.com]
  
• DST Academy on Discord[chat.dst.academy]

We appreciate every single contribution and are looking forward to a growing and flourishing community!

Have fun and don't starve alone!
