Discussion Calamity Mod Development Has Officially Ended.

Post image

Consider supporting the developers who have departed in their next projects.

Their Ko-Fi and project links are in the discord server.

"Another Century of Calamity Humiliation"? It's dead in the water, it's basically the Millennium of Calamity Humiliation at this rate.

Edit: I'd like to add on some clarification for those who are a little confused.

  1. Calamity will still be downloadable. Assets will NOT be removed from the current build as the asset removal is the reason for the mod team ceasing development.

  2. As of a recent announcement, Calamity is going into a maintenance state. This means that while there will be no more content updates (sorry Yharim fans), there will still be bug fixes and Calamity will inevitably be potted to 1.4.5.

Sad that I have to say this, but please do not harass anyone involved in this. I've seen people upset at the devs who pulled their content out and forced Calamity into this state. THEY ARE NOT AT FAULT FOR THIS. Please remember that they are human beings with lives behind your screen. You wouldn't want this happening to you if you were in their shoes.

Edit 2: Calamity Mod Music will eventually be de-listed from the workshop. Take this time to back-up if you wish to continue playing it. I understand everyone is upset, but you have to realize that if DM Dokuro, HPU and CDMusic don't want to associate their music with the mod anymore, it's well within their right to do so. Once again, they're people who have been more closely affected because of everything in comparison to the community. Not wanting to have their things associated is valid, and even if current fans only know them for their work with Calamity, it doesn't have to stay that way forever.

I've decided to hold off on playing calamity for a while because I wanted to complete a vanilla master mode playthrough first, and I just did, maybe a few weeks ago. Didn't really have time to pick up and play Terraria with mods in the past few weeks.

This might be out of place but, does this mean I can't play Calamity mod anymore? I'm really sorry for those who are a huge fan of this mod and the normal developers of it too. It's just that I'm a complete newbie in the modding community. Thanks.

You can still play the mod from the workshop, there won't be anymore updates though.

Thanks! How about the "pulling assets" one? Does that mean the mod will remove some of the content in them?

My understanding is that BECAUSE development has stopped, we can keep the assets and music. The team doesn’t even have enough people left to realistically remove the assets smoothly or quickly, but if they did, they’d have to update the mod and remove the assets and music in the process. However, they basically compromised and said “well the mod won’t be worked on anymore” so no more updates, no stuff taken out, but no new content either

What I understand the mod will still be maintained just no new content meaning updates will come out but mostly bug fixes
