about the project
The adaptation of Don’t Starve from PC to PS3 involved some complex technical work in applying optimization strategies to system memory usage, and caching and reusing memory in a smarter way than is necessary on PC. This kind of work requires extremely thorough testing across every area of the game to make sure things don’t break in specific cases when replacing seemingly redundant logic and making other changes.
The hard work done by our QA and the care we take to make sure that things not only work, but work well, is one of the advantages of an adaptation over a basic port. If you choose Abstraction Games you’ll never be left stuck with a port that technically works but suffers from terrible performance, and Don’t Starve is an excellent example of not only our technical expertise, but also our passion for the games we are adapting.
