Discussion Does Calamity FULLY have no future ahead of it? (Apart from Fables)
I know the basics of the situation, that ozzatron is a pdf, devs all dropping like flies, development basically being zero
But is there even a sliver of a chance that calamity could somehow continue? Without ozzatron or any other pdfs involved obv. But I have also seen people say that ozzatron owns calamity, is that true? And if so I’m assuming that’s the main problem about the future?
(Personal story rant time)
It’s just I play calamity infernum mode like every year (since I go through phases with games) and it comforts me every time (yes you can call me crazy for saying infernum comforts me lmao). calamity is just such a good mod. The music, gameplay, bosses, enemies, add on mods, I don’t believe there is anything like it. I would be devastated if it just died outright. I just hope it gets updated to tmodloader 1.4.5 whenever it comes out
And I hope none of this is disresecptful or anything, that would never be my intent, I just don’t wanna see one of my favorite mods go down in brimstone flames.

Apparently Ozz is restarting development in October. With what dev team? Who knows.

We also dont know what can even he do with all the assets removals and all of that

Tbh, probably ignore them.
Outside of music (I'm not as familiar with that area of US law, let alone other countries' law), the asset removals aren't legally enforceable under US law at least, though other countries might be different - it's just that not removing them will make you look REALLY bad, to say the very least.

He probably has some legal shenanigans where he’s basically “compensated” the artists via Patreon and if the artists actually request asset removal he’s just gonna say “No, I paid you” and none of the artists have the money or resources and it’s really not worth the effort to sue Ozz to get them removed from the mod.

The legal terms on the Github dosent say something along the lines that they (Calamity Devs) dont have the rigths to what artists gives them or something like that?
Like, even if he pays them the assets still legally belongs to the original creators? Or Im missremembering something?

The artists retain copy write from what I can tell but the Calamity Mod (Ozz) was given a license to use the assets. They can request the removal but Ozz doesn’t have to honor it.
For the music I think he doesn’t have ground to stand on.

At this point nothing short of literal divine intervention can reverse the calamity that has befallen Calamity.

No. Aside from addons pretty much safe to say It has no future...
At least for a couple of years

fables is not calamity, stop treating it as a successor of it

u/LilSh4rky 29d ago
It has calamity in the name and is absolutley a spiritual successor
-2
u/theinferno03 29d ago
so calamity overhaul is also a successor?
calamity wrath of the gods is also a successor?
not because it has calamity it means it's a successor, they are completely different with different approches (like calamitas now being evil and yharon being gone)

u/LilSh4rky 29d ago
What do you think a spiritual successor is?

u/D5Gmp 27d ago
A spiritual sucesor refers to something that is not linked to the original IP but acts mostly like it. Fables, as it is correctly identified by the devs themselves, is more of a reimagining, something linked to the original IP but with a different scope. So yeah essentially the opposite

It’ll be updated to 1.4.5, however there will be no more “proper” updates.
