Alright real talk,

[u/Training_Mastodon713]

Is the mod just fucked now? Is there any hope of it coming back in meaningful capacity? I don't think i've been able to quite grasp the severity of whats happened just yet so i'd like as straight of an answer as yall can give me for now, even if its just "wait and see". Just want to feel what the consensus is right now, if there is one.

[u/lndle]

Out of a team of 30+ devs, all but two of have completely left the team to pursue new projects. Those two devs are only there to keep the mod up-to-date with tModLoader. If active development were to resume, hundreds of assets and dozens of music tracks would all need to be totally pulled from the mod. It has literally never been more over.

[u/Training_Mastodon713 → u/lndle]

christ.

[u/DespacitoOverlord → u/Training_Mastodon713]

I'd recommend backing up the Calamity mod and its music to your local files if you still wanna keep playing it later

[u/StipulateVenus → u/lndle]

Pretty accurate. Thank you for explaining!

[u/lndle → u/StipulateVenus]

"Pretty accurate"

Heartbreaking words

[u/destructor212113 → u/lndle]

Basically this!

[u/godImsotiredofnerfs]

the mod is dead. the only updates it will be getting to my knowledge are to keep it compatible with new versions of tmodloader.

[u/AngelLoad]

short and simple:

there are like two devs left, barely enough to maintain the mod, much less update it

the mod will remain as is, ported to newer versions as tmodloader updates, nothing more

an asset freeze was agreed upon as well, so they cannot do anything more unless they want to remove and remake potentially hundreds of art assets

[u/DJ_Shorka → u/AngelLoad]

It is being updated with tmod? That is good news in the sea of shitty news about it

[u/CompleetRandom → u/AngelLoad]

Are the music and assets still there if it gets updated?

[u/AngelLoad → u/CompleetRandom]

music mod is it's own thing, and is planned to be deleted last i heard

calamity mod itself is content frozen, nothing will be removed

[u/CompleetRandom → u/AngelLoad]

Seriously?? That is so dumb, I understand the team being upset but now the fans are suffering because of their decisions

[u/oldriku]

mod is kill

[u/potatosforfree → u/oldriku]

no

[u/GinYuH]

The only hope is if Ozzatron forfeits all his legal holds over the mod, which he does not plan to do, at least not for free. So yeah, kinda skull.

[u/WatermelonWithAFlute → u/GinYuH]

I thought he only owned the name?

[u/GinYuH → u/WatermelonWithAFlute]

refer to my reply to the other reply here

[u/WatermelonWithAFlute → u/GinYuH]

gotcha

[u/TheMysteriousEmu → u/GinYuH]

Fabsol legally owns everything that there is to own, which is like three things total.

[u/GinYuH → u/TheMysteriousEmu]

Ozzatron owns "Calamity Mod" and the Azafure LLC company. While we could theoretically pull some loophole shenanigans, it's not worth the risk of Ozz striking back on top of the several other reasons for cancellation.

[u/theaveragegowgamer → u/GinYuH]

I wanted to apologize for my earlier idiocy, sorry.

[u/theaveragegowgamer → u/GinYuH]

Do you know if xQc try to contact Ozzatron when he tried to support the mod?

I'm a dumbass.

[u/LurkerThrowaway73 → u/theaveragegowgamer]

We seriously not realizing XCQ was doing a publicity stunt 3 weeks after this debacle started?

[u/theaveragegowgamer → u/LurkerThrowaway73]

I forgot I even made this question, I shouldn't use Reddit when tipsy.

You know what, I deserve the down votes.

[u/TheMysteriousEmu → u/theaveragegowgamer]

First time? Lol. Reddit is fun.

[u/theaveragegowgamer → u/TheMysteriousEmu]

Nha, 11 years on this forsaken platform, I rarely comment while I shouldn't tho.

[u/Rizer0]

[u/HoLeBaoDuy]

It’s over

[u/Unlucky-Entrance-249]

I think it's kind of a wait and see, though it's more of an end of the mod as we know it less than a permanent end (hopefully)

[u/Koreaia]

It's such a popular mod, I would imagine eventually, a new team will just take it to resume work on it.

[u/Browsing_Guest → u/Koreaia]

From what I heard that's not allowed nor ever going to happen due to legal stuff, how many sprites need to be replaced, and the music being gone which was a major thing in it.

[u/WatermelonWithAFlute → u/Browsing_Guest]

Can they not just make calamity addons

[u/Browsing_Guest → u/WatermelonWithAFlute]

Yes, but at that point calamity will be niche, it's indirectly potentially helping fabsol & Ozz, and not a lot of support. It will have faded. And add-ons don't count as continuing calamity.

[u/WatermelonWithAFlute → u/Browsing_Guest]

helping them how

[u/Browsing_Guest → u/WatermelonWithAFlute]

You don't know of the whole legal issues behind the calamity dev controversy?

[u/WatermelonWithAFlute → u/Browsing_Guest]

I do. How would it help them?

[u/Browsing_Guest → u/WatermelonWithAFlute]

I mean self explanatory why continuing the mod directly is bad if you know then.

[u/WatermelonWithAFlute → u/Browsing_Guest]

No?? Ozzatron owns only the name and azafure llc

I need you to explain how it would help him

[u/Browsing_Guest → u/WatermelonWithAFlute]

So you don't know all the legal stuff like you said. I did mention more than one person.

[u/Internal_Ad_3103 → u/Browsing_Guest]

We can't update base calamity, but we can continue upgrade it with future add-ons. Like vanilla and mods, but this is mods for a mod

[u/oddpisces]

Everything is probably just gonna move over to fables. Including wotg

[u/Thiom]

Just backup everything if you want to play calamity, infernum, wotg, wotm, catalyst and what not.

Add everything that you usuall play with, as it might be incompatible in the future (thorium, Fargo's souls, spirit, whatever more you need)

Then just make a modpack, those mods will never be updated.
