The End of Calamity Mod

The End of Calamity Mod



The End of Calamity Mod

I never thought I’d have to make this video, but the Calamity Mod has ceased development.

    hi – calamity dev here

    thanks for the coverage with correct information, it's refreshing to see someone actually taking the time to research not just the state of calamity but even some addons (like mentioning wotg's ongoing split!)
    addressing misinformation is greatly appreciated; the only amendment I'd make is that while development is frozen, it's better to think of it as a long term support release, meaning we'll be making necessary maintenance patches for fixes and updating to 1.4.5 (there just won't be any new content).

    since all of us have quit working on the mod and only myself and one other developer have taken on the mantle of doing maintenance work, there isn't really any manpower to honor asset removal requests or anything of that nature, so the best way to honor the mod and appease everyone is to feature-freeze it and only do the bare minimum work to keep it playable for players and to support existing add-on mods

    I played lots of terraria in 1.3, and calamity got me to start modding. I played calamity lots over the years, saw the start and the current beautiful state of WOTG and lots of other great mods. My biggest modpack has calamity, and almost every addon for it. This truly is the end of an era. I guess I'll have to wait 6000 years for fables to see that again. Tragic ending to a tragic story, and showcasing the exact reason why you should open source (although I don't think it's possible in this case, due to a lot of things)

    >Fabsol kicked out of development
    >Team claims content updates will finally start coming
    >Nothing changes
    >Mod shuts down completely

    I think the real issue was the development team being a bunch of drama queens, and the leadership problems were just easy scapegoats.

    ah this hurts. My partner loves Terraria and the Calamity mod, and has spoken so incredibly highly of them and how much they mean to him. They've impacted his life so much, and even mine a little. My first time playing Terraria was with him and my first modded playthough, though unfinished, was a Calamity mod world with him. He's still asleep right now, I don't think he's heard about any of this yet, but I worry about him and how this'll impact him.

    What's the point anymore? Everything is destroyed, corrupted, rotted, distorted, corroded, infested. You put in all the effort, passion, and dedication in the world into something, and it's just rotted apart by a groomer or fraudster or scammer or abuser or some combination of the above, every single goddamn point.
    Why bother getting excited with mods? Why bother with developing them? Why bother with fandoms and communities? This will just happen again and again and again and again.
    Nothing improves, hope turns out to be false and illusory, and all good intentions are either crushed to ash or used to pave the road to hell.

    Human existence is a fucking joke. We're all prisoners to it, every single one of us, and there's little we can do about it. Death is the only kindness that this universe has to offer.

    >Notice massive Calamity Mod Drama
    >Wonder what's going on
    >Check Reddit
    >Everyone is vague-posting about some dude and the "horrible" things he did without actually saying what they are
    >Check Youtube
    >"I won't go into detail about what he did…"
    😐

    God I hate vague-posters so much. If you expect me to care, just say what the issue is. I'm not gonna sit here and read through 100 screencaps with dubious context.

  14. @pufferfishman4203 on

    It sucks that it has to be this way, but ima just be glad that this mod happened at all, and that I’ve had plenty of fun playing it, I hope that maybe one day, if the stars align, it can be revived, but that’s just wishful thinking

  17. @Mechazoid4379 on

    I'm so tired of people removing content from a product just because they have an issue with a staff member or leadership. Sure you have the right but like think of the players? Don't screw them over for something that barely effects you. If its frozen in development then you don't have to work on it anymore so live and let live. This behavior is so irritating I'd understand if it involved money and further development but it does not. For the record no idea what they did, don't care thats not the point. They are not the mod and the mod is not them.

  18. @AlexStarkey-f1g on

    im not gonna lie. the only thing i liked about calamity was the cool weapons and accessories, never particularly cared for or used the higher difficulties and new bosses

  20. @CaioShinho on

    I'm almost in my 30s, never thought i could still get so emotional about something like this, Calamity was and still is extremely precious to me, it legit hurt and not even decades of desensitization prepared me for this, it hurts really bad man

  26. @odeme-qp8zb on

    I liked this mod, BUT DUDE WHAT THE FUCK, WHY EVERY TIME I FIND A GAME THAT I LIKE, SOME FUCKING HAPPENS TO IT, this whole situation makes me incredibly upset, how many playthroughs of other mods have I not watched, this one was special, it had its own atmosphere, its own INTERESTING lore, this is my first mod in terraria in general, I hate unfinished stories, I can’t sleep peacefully because of such crap I understand that this will sound selfish, I understand that the entire community will not like what I say, most likely… no, I WILL NOT like what I say, BUT I have to say this… Developers, your dreams, as you said, have come true, not all i guess, but they have come true, if any of you are reading this (which I’m sure won’t happen) I beg you, make MY dream come true—continue the project. I know you’re human too and can’t work forever, and I can’t offer anything in return, but please just tell me that you guarantee—whether in a year, two, five, or ten—that you’ll release the mod’s finale… The only thing I need is a guarantee that it will come out. I apologize for being such a selfish piece of shit; it’s just that this whole situation has upset me incredibly and left me feeling empty. I sympathize deeply with the devs—I’m sure the situation has worn them out just as much—and I hope they come back and continue the project.

  31. @encoded9107 on

    im pretty indifferent to most things but its even starting to wear me down…

    every project i like has this happen to it. WHY? I just dont understand why things always end like this.

  33. @3xyz on

    If I had a nickel for everytime the lead developer of Calamity was outed for being a groomer pdf file, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but its very strange, dark and condemning upon the rest of the devs to know the exact same situation has happened twice.

    My condolences to the innocent devs whose reputations may fall because of this, and I wish them the best in the future.

  36. @OneRandomguy22 on

    Well damn.
    If you couldn't have delivered than you shouldn't have talked and talked about what you were gonna bring into the new updates. I'm gonna wish success with everyone's new projects tho.

  38. @MajonesTSM on

    this sucks… honestly, calamity was my first ever playthrough with mods. To see its legacy end up like this is genuinely heartbreaking 💔 I was so excited to see all the new forms for the murasama… Thanks for all the fun times I had playing this mod

  40. @pichet3093 on

    I have a question. I’m working on 3D fan animation based on Terraria Calamity that I’ve been working on for months. I can’t just abandon it—I’ve put so much time into it, and I genuinely love this mod. But I’m really not okay with all the drama surrounding it either. At the same time, I don’t want to suddenly throw away a project I’ve put so much effort into. What should I do? 😥😥

  43. @TheFlyingslug on

    My first playthrough of Calamity kept me going through one of the most difficult times of my life. There's a bizarre mix of grief over this announcement, and disgust over the actions of Ozzatron.

  44. @XalenPrime on

    Literally just finished yesterday playing through calamity, wrath of the old gods. Blown away. Music will be in my playlists for ever. I don’t know anything about its history. But I’m very grateful for what was created

  45. @AstraTheAstronical on

    It's always something that everybody likes to always to get corrupted or canceled because of some freaking major issues. People atp gotta learn if they got something going good. Please, for the love of God, make sure you won't have that thing canceled

  46. @RatLord1134 on

    My poor baby yharon is gonna look like a chicken nugget forever lmao (in all seriousness im actually devastated. I have no idea what happened, i woke up to see this and i think its a joke. im sorry to the devs, artists, and anyone else for whatever might be happening)
