These new Sounds Suck!

[@carinhaaaa]

The problem with twigs is that they don't make a twig sound, instead, they make wood sound, like other wood itens, same for food sounds, maybe they will change it later. My favorite ones are gold, gem and silk sound, I think both went really well

[@icefuryanimation3352]

Personally i like them because it doesn't break my ears when picking up lots of items like the old sound did

[@caoinhnamkhanh2795]

The repeated DING DING DING DING gets ear piercing, i usually had sfx turned off for harvesting stuff. New wood sfx is good so i like it better than the ood one

[@jnbsp3512]

Ohh that is so interesting, I remember having problems with online play and lag sometimes stacking sounds on top. Especially combat was bad. But I just tried playing today (after ragequitting months? ago when the new UI update broke my modded games) and I find the new sounds so poorly EQd and leveled, like picking up gold is earpiercing???? but if you turn down the main volume you lose so much information. I think I'd have a better time with the new sounds if I had a slider for each of them, per item. But I'll take the mod that just undoes the patch for now. Its kinda sad I think the *idea* for the gem sounds etc is super cute but the execution is just very bad for my sensory processing. But I'm glad other people do like them :3

[@nicoco028]

Thé second sound is moon electricity and the third sound is salamander

[@ninjaruss4205]

I've always hoped for more dynamic sound and weather. It's not there yet but i am happy it's something they've started to consider. I wish we could hear the low rumble of thunder on cloudy days or just before it starts raining in spring if there's gonna be lightning. I wanna hear the ocean against the shore when near it. Or maybe a frog croak at dusk/night when near ponds

[@TheRealTrigan]

I think ds has ocean sounds near shore but it makes less sense now as the water is mostly flat

I hope the devs will add a feature where you can turn back the original picking sounds in the setting. Anyways, great video!

[@wopor333]

Yes think this would be the ideal solution for keeping everyone happy but does add some more work on the devs. I really couldnt get over the new item sounds just felt off. The mineral ones i think i can get used to after some times but most of the other pickup sounds … something just doesnt feel correct

[@ludgerkres.1437]

I think they should have kept the "twink" sound for everything. Some of the new pick up sounds keep it, while others don't. Makes it inconsistent and I had to revert back. Some of the new sounds are okay though. But the majority is twigs and grass.

[@llarydeluxe]

That's prolly cause Klei is rolling out the new pickup sounds for all of the items. Not all of them are going to have new sounds now, but will later. The skill-tree spot light beta added a few like moon rocks now actually sounding like rocks and pure brilliance having the gem sound.

[@victorleite221]

what an amazing video! I totally understand you, bro!

[@darkdragonpl9229]

I hadn't played for a while because my hdd broke, and after redownloading dst i noticed the weird sounds items made and i assumed i just played with these sounds turned off, I didn't know it was a new thing. I'm probably gonna use the mod to turn them back, the new ones are too loud and i prefer having single sound indicating i picked something up.

[@taxco6942]

I guessed the first two, but failed the last one because I never been on the ruins. I assume the last one is also relatively far in the game, either the Spelumonkeys or Sea Monkeys. I have no clue

Thank you for the mod link, I had a bad time finding it on workshop itself, I found your video trying to find the *original* sounds somewhere to prove to myself I'm not going mad ahahaha. I think I'd have peace re-learning the meaning of the new sounds if I could set the levels for each of them, right now certain items just hurt my ears so the mod changing it back actually allows me to play again

[@insertuncreativenamehere]

Yay, I got all 3 sound guesses right! And I definitely see your point to be made with the sounds, though I still like them. And in terms of the 3 end sounds, I know I've heard the third one, pretty sure those are saladmanders contending for a Lunar pool.

[@jakepeng9962]

I wish the swamp and the waterlogged looked like how they sounded. They need those crickets and stuff.

[@cuttlefish6439]

This is just my opinion but I actually really like the new sound designs because the original high pitch sound hurt my ears and it was also pritty annoying to anyone who was in the room, so the new one really helps with both of those problems for me 😊

[@DVGMedia1]

Yeah true and if it works for you that's good. Sometimes things dont work for everyone and thats okay. To me it doesn't work out and feels really off. And I wanted to share why it's off to me. And maybe others also share my sentiment. This video is just to show how good klei can design sound. And let people who also don't like the new stuff have access to a mod the reverts the change.

[@silxer3154]

A simple solution to this problem would be adding an option in the Sound Options for you to switch between Standard (the new pick up sounds) and Classic (the old original pick up sounds) so both sides can be happy. Personally, I like the old sounds much more after getting hearing them for so many years they just sound more natural to the game and less jarring, so I'm going to be using that mod for awhile (also thanks for posting said mod in the description).

[@constantspider]

i love the sounds personally, but people have their opinions!

[@dragonweirdocreap]

Ngl I hated the new sounds at first, but I got used to them. They aren't really great but they aren't really horrible but some of a new sounds are strange like sticks and logs

Can you please do a video on Turf ambiance? Shell turf and Moonkey sand turf have unique ambiance and how much turf is required to change the ambiance. the last sound was 100% a saladmander fight over a heat source (most likely a hot spring on lunar island)

[@peanutsveryepicchannel8699]

literally the old sounds were bwing bwing bwing bwing hearing the new contextual pickup sounds is way better

[@DVGMedia1]

No yeah it's better that they make new contextual sounds but they could have done a better job at doing it sound effects are very important

[@DVGMedia1]

This whole video is about how good the sound design in don't starve is and these new sounds sound really lazy and out of place compared to all the good sound effects they have in game.

[@Astro_Sil]

I think I got the three sounds at the end, the first one is the sound of the boat when sailing the ocean, the second one is the moon storm static, and the last one is the lunar island with the saladmanders I'm not so sure of the first one but that's what i think it is

I agree, the new sounds are much better that the previous ones. Having more contextualized sound effects for item picks makes the game feel more immersive. The sound effects themselves are pretty well chosen and seem to fit into the game quite well. It's definitely nice to not get that piercing sound each time I pick up 100 rocks or twigs or something.

His new? I have not downloaded the new scripts yet. To check the code directly. But you can figure it out by counting how long it takes to gain a temperature. And put that time in this formula- 30/(30+x)= (time to lose temp) His base was 60 insulation which was about -.33 a second

[@prismacan7752]

I'm a big fan of the new sounds, they add a bit more variety and make normally picking up items a bit more exciting. Do people really just dislike them because some of them are too loud or slightly unfitting for the specific object in question? The "Ping!" sound was fairly loud too, and I think it makes sense for things like wood-related items to share the same wood pickup sound, like how soft and hard turfs all make identical sounds (even though their materials are usually different) Twigs specifically definitely don't look like they'd make that sound, but it conveys that it's wooden quite well. It's kinda like how freezing's snaps and crackles or overheating's hissing and searing are cartoonishly exaggerated for clarity, I think

[@DVGMedia1]

They could do a better job with it because the game already has great sound design the way these noises are made just sound tacted on and lazy

[@prismacan7752]

@@DVGMedia1 I mean, there's not much else they can do with a sound as simple as "it plays when you pick up one of these specific items". They've got a couple smaller variations of each sound too, I think (though that might just be something they do with changing the pitch of the one specific sound? I'd have to give it a much closer listen to know for sure). The same kinda thing happens when you chop a tree or mine a rock. It's a couple variations of the same sound, because that's really all you can kinda do with it I don't think any of it is "ruining the sound design that already exists in the game" either, but some sounds could be improved or changed a bit, yeah. Maybe berries are super squelchy or something because that sound resembles dropping a sandbag on the floor more than anything I'd associate with a berry, or food in general. The sound for twigs is wooden at least, I'm not sure what the berry is supposed to be lmao

[@DVGMedia1]

@@prismacan7752 Like for twigs if you harvest from a sapling The noise that you get for harvesting the sapling is perfect. The same thing with the berry bushes. Items themselves don't need unique sounds But they do need a sound. Because if they don't have a sound the game doesn't work try collecting items that are stacked in a closed backpack Picking up an item that stacks into a backpack that is closed while on the player does not make a sound. Which just feels wrong. LIke imagine if minecraft had a unique sound effect for each and every single item in the game on pickup. instead of the standard little plop noise. Sound effects are important for actions. Thats why chopping sounds like chopping Mining sounds like mining. fighting has a nice thud noise. you don't need sound effects for not important actions. Which is why a basic noise is all you really need.

[@virusnamedtoast7202]

Perhaps this has been already been addressed elsewhere, but I’m really confused about your argument here. The plant-picking sounds you mentioned are still present in the game, it’s just that bell that’s been replaced. I mean, I can agree the sound for something like twigs is a tad much, but it’s still an improvement over the bell.

[@DVGMedia1]

Like you mention for twigs if you harvest from a sapling The noise that you get for harvesting the sapling is perfect. The same thing with the berry bushes. Items themselves don't need unique sounds But they do need a sound. Because if they don't have a sound the game doesn't work. an example of this thar happens in game is if you Pick up an item that stacks into a backpack but the backpack was manually closed on the player (this can be done by right clicking on the equpped pack). Doing so will not make a pickup sound at all. Which just feels wrong. But in contrast sounds mean something too. They convey action or important information. Picking up a dropped item does not need a unique sound effect for each item as it can be overstimulating. So most games that have mass item collection usually do a generic sound for collection purpose. LIke imagine if minecraft had a unique sound effect for each and every single item in the game on pickup. instead of the standard little plop noise. The player would be over stimulated with sounds all different pitches and effects how is the player supposed to know what's important? Same thing happens with dst now. Items on the ground don't need pickup noises. As they are not as important its like having a wrong noise for a situation. Sound effects are important for actions. Thats why chopping sounds like chopping Mining sounds like mining. fighting has a nice thud noise. you don't need sound effects for not important actions. Which is why a basic noise is all you really need. Instead of these custom sounds for each item.

[@DVGMedia1]

Hence why I say the game has great sound. And The devs can do much better than the off tune pick up noises they implemented. Maybe lower the intensity?

Of course, I'm not saying everyone needs to suck it up and deal with it but I do think that everyone should have sounds comfortable for them.
