I'm happy that I could partake in Art Fight and actually get a decent bit done. Its the most productive I've felt about art ever honestly. During a summer class no less.
I hope to maintain that momentum when drawing for myself, though with Fall semester, we'll have to see.
Corporate rentseeking and public-private partnerships have cost us the ability to rebuild key infrastructure. If terrorism or a climate event causes critical damage, that damage is likely to be permanent.
This does NOT mean the mod will be revived, but it does mean Ozzatron can't make things any worse, thanks Xeroc this is happening

@IbanPlays@CalamityFables And in fairness, Calamity was fuckin ginormous & perfectionism was all the craze, making it very easy for scope creep and time to see its impact.
I would hope Cal Fables is more focused, both in content and in story. :3
@IbanPlays@CalamityFables Calamity was infamous for its never-ending overhauls. But I do fear NEVER going back may be an over-correction where I think a medium could be struck.
They should remain products of their time but if a small change could make an impact, I see no harm in it.
But I digress. :P
I love gaining weight as much as the next person, but I need everyone to respect fat people’s bodies and treat our bodies as something more than a perverse novelty. Objectification of fat bodies needs to stop, and we must love fat people for being people, and not for being fat.
@IbanPlays@CalamityFables Lmao, no worries!
When it comes to my own art and stories, it's a lesson I've been trying to internalize for years. "Making it exist first, then making it great later."
If the Fables team allows for it, I really do hope some of the Ex-Cal devs can join their crew, provided they aren't shady themselves.
These characters and the world mean so much to me & I truly believe the STORY of Calamity, not just any one project, still has so much potential
This is a really good way to look at things!
Fables won't be as big as OGCal, both in popularity & scope, nor SHOULD it be.
I mourn that so much art had to be wasted on the eve of such a momentous occasion, but I genuinely think Fables and Hylamity can pick up the mantle.
On call with my friend rn and coming to the realization cal really isn’t dead. Fables is right there and likely a lot of the talent from FabCal will probably just move to Fables.
They’ve already said they’d add stuff like draedon, yharon, yharim, and cal but they JUST started-
However, I do think the transition between OGCal to Fables loses Calamity's musical identity, courtesy of DM DOKURO's musical touch, which is a big reason why OGCal blew up in the first place, in lieu of something much more akin to Terraria/Zelda.

Terraria's decade-old mod Calamity has shut down after its new lead dev faced grooming allegations.
The team cited a "troubled past" and an "irrecoverably tainted reputation" as reasons for the decision
@IbanPlays@CalamityFables I know this might probably fall on deaf ears, but keep the vision! Don't scope creep and perfect for years to come.
The best stories are the ones that exist, after all! ^^
