Don't Starve, the resource-gathering adventure game from Mark of the Ninja developer Klei Entertainment, has set a date. The game will launch on Steam on April 24 for $15.

Klei Entertainment told Joystiq that following its official launch, the game will receive six months of free content. The game is influenced by Minecraft, which has benefited greatly from a constant stream of updates, so it makes sense to keep players engaged with shiny new things.

We've seen plenty of the game's main character, Wilson, but other unlockable characters will have special abilities. Willow, a girl who can light her own fires, was shown at PAX East.

Klei has already been creating additional content in closed beta, as it has offered extra content semiweekly. You can pre-order at a lower price, and get beta access to boot. Or, you could try out a free timed demo on Chrome.

      Six months of free updates? What kind of freaky economic model is this?

        Six months of constant free updates. Then no updates.

        Thats waaaay more post-sale support than most games. Even counting AAA games.

      I need to check it out, it's been since late January, there's tons of new stuff already. I will say, the Don't Starve part, is actually the easy part.

      This game is fantastic. I think it's best to not read anything about it and just figure it out as it comes. There is some crazy shit after the first few nights.
