calamity-update-talk

[fringe quiver]

no

[patent sierra]

did i miss some story

[fringe quiver]

noxus is a calamity mod character that is not in the mod yet

[white vigil]

How big is the team???

[fringe quiver]

wotg bosses are nameless deity and avatar of emptiness

[bright crane]

my guess for possible updates (excluding minor, non-content updates) are:
SSO P2 (~6 months post SSO 1) -> BCO (~8 months) -> Sulphurous sea/Acid rain (~8 months) -> Plague/Jungle (5+ months) -> Astral (less than a year ig) -> Abyss (±1 year) -> Distortion Update (1.8 year +) -> Yharim (approx. 1.5 year ±) -> unknown but probably Noxus & Xeroc (blank)
most of them was my guess because im completely clueless

[arctic turtle]

Noxus was removed because he conflicted with future official lore (and was mid)

[fringe quiver]

They were loosely inspired by versions of Xeroc/Noxus from the mod's past story before it got rewritten but that's the extent of the connection

[arctic turtle]

Actually yeah

[arctic turtle]

Post SSO updates will be way faster

[fringe quiver]

SSO is likely gonna remain as the largest update of all time for a long while if not forever from what we've heard

[patent sierra]

isnt SSO just a rework?

[arctic turtle]

All old lore in WotG was removed

[misty wren]

so big it got split into 2 parts which i dont think happened to any other update

[white vigil]

I feel like 6 months for pt after sso 1 is generous, unless they release smaller updates on a slightly shorter timeframe

[arctic turtle]

https://tenor.com/view/riddler-paul-dano-new-rockstars-thumbnail-does-he-know-he-doesnt-know-gif-27552850

[fringe quiver]

Yeah! The Calamity Mod Rework at this point 😭

[arctic turtle]

I forgot

[misty wren]

in theory
in practice there are 760 changelogs currently public

[white vigil]

Massive overhaul of the sunken sea and its content as well as a bunch of things outside of it including revengence and death mode ai changes

[fringe quiver]

• First post-fabdeath update and the first "true" modernization update for Calamity. Has to do a ton of heavy lifting to set the framework for future updates aswell as set the bar fo the mod's new quality standard
• Was scope crept to death due to conflict caused by Fabsol Existing and developers not being able to work on what they actually wanted to work on, thus ending up just, making other things
• Introduces several new mechanics not present in the mod before
• I am Amidias and i am the King of the Sunken Sea

[lyric trellis]

Amidias

[patent sierra]

760

[fringe quiver]

760 and still not all of them !

[bright crane]

yeaaah, i have no idea what could possibly be added aside from crabulon rework and other stuff so it's rather going to be a small update

[lyric trellis]

Lets aim for 1000!

[fringe quiver]

sso pt 2 is gonna be 100% smaller than sso pt 1 yeah

At its core its like

[misty wren]

yeah no thats just the ones big enough that they were deemed important enough to go onto the list

[fringe quiver]

Crabulon rework, hardmode sunken sea content, elder basilisk i think?

[arctic turtle]

I’ve been saying this update is the modernization/reworking fabsols poor game design update

[fringe quiver]

And maybe undead gauntlet?

[modern grove]

Crabulon will be turned into a lobster, sorry guys

[fringe quiver]

Some miscellaneous stuff like the mushroom crab enemies byeah

[white vigil]

Sso or 2 is the foundation for the sunken sea so pt will build on that and I believe add hard mode content to finalize it

[patent sierra]

amidias fight would go hard

[misty wren]

duke lobsteron

[fringe quiver]

I mean

King Clam steals his soul

and you fight it

[white vigil]

Where’s my prawnulon

[fringe quiver]

so like

does that. count

[modern grove]

You're mean indeed

[fringe quiver]

me when my soul gets stolen by a fuckass clam

[lapis oak]

SSO part 1 should be Cal's final biggest and longest update to ever release

[fringe quiver]

terrarian please retrieve my soul it is rather uncomfortable to not have one

please terrarian i am in great pain

[white vigil]

Cniderion and clam are getting proper miniboss overhauls

[white vigil]

Michael don’t leave me here!!

[bright crane]

Ohhh i see, hardmode sunken sea sounds cool, the basilisk miniboss is also a nice addition

[patent sierra]

amidias is stronger than calamitas

[wicked temple]

@fringe quiver

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

EHLLO

[lapis oak]

especially when Cal is getting a content director to help organizing stuff

[modern grove]

King clam would like not exist if fabsol was still on the team btw

[fringe quiver]

hi azzy :3

[wicked temple]

hihihihihihihiihihihihih!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[patent sierra]

nobody can convince me he is not

[fringe quiver]

be so fr throudon

sunken sea overhaul would not exist if fabsol was still on the team

[lapis oak]

would I exist if Fab was still on the team?

[wicked temple]

hiiiiii troodnid

[white vigil]

Fabsol gone to oblivion was best for the world as a whole

[misty wren]

i saw what he had made for noxus it would have been horrible

[wicked temple]

probably not

[white vigil]

No he would’ve killed you to death

[patent sierra]

who is fabsol

[lapis oak]

😨

[fringe quiver]

elder basilisk is technicaly not an addition

[white vigil]

We don’t talk about bruno no no no

[fringe quiver]

Since it's the great sand shart replacement

[arctic turtle]

Is this ragebait

[fringe quiver]

Still it's cool tho

[lapis oak]

reworked, renamed, resprited, replaced

[white vigil]

I haven’t heard of this yet, sounds sick as hell

[patent sierra]

i genuinely dont know im new to the calamity community

[fringe quiver]

Fabsol was the ... founder? Of calamity mod. Except he was like absolutely fucking horrible in every way possible

[modern grove]

Desert lizard boss guy 2

[white vigil]

Hopefully just like old Duke in the future

[fringe quiver]

He was a shitty lead developer who was actively making the mod Worse

[bright crane]

also, who tf changed master death prime in bountiful harvest to that ugly one with 2 heads who spawned other mechs? Was that fabsols work or smth???

[arctic turtle]

He was also hella freaky

[patent sierra]

oh… i see

[white vigil]

I think so

[fringe quiver]

yes

[misty wren]

nobody else worked on master mode

[desert garnet]

yes

[fringe quiver]

every boss fight was fabsol

[arctic turtle]

All master mode changes were his magnum opus

[fringe quiver]

he was the only one allowed to work on bosses

he gatekept them

[misty wren]

everything in master is completely and solely fabsol

[fringe quiver]

and that's why calamity's bosses are notably uh Like That

[lapis oak]

creator of Cal

dogwater creator

[white vigil]

Can’t wait for actually engaging fights

[fringe quiver]

Every single boss is a vanilla enemy or boss except frankensteined so that's

fun

[modern grove]

Wrong! 10 billion random projectiles go!

[wicked temple]

parmiigianoregiano

[fringe quiver]

Even the ones that look more impressive kind of only do because VFX artists that are actually talented carry

[hard copper]

pretty, reminds me of siphonophores

[fringe quiver]

If you take away all the smoke and mirrors you realize they're actualy Retinazer AI

[misty wren]

no! hive mind! the one boss fabsol didnt code the ai for! and maybe guardians i dont know!

[fringe quiver]

nuclearchaosazathoth

[patent sierra]

i mean calamitas was fun

[bright crane]

Makes perfect sense for him 🥀 glad he's not on the team anymore if he were to break even more stuff in the game

[white vigil]

Yharon is red fishron

[fringe quiver]

Hive mind was originally made by XYK i think...?

But then

y'know

fabsol struck

[modern grove]

Duke fishron ai son or retinazer ai daughter

[fringe quiver]

and butchered the fight with his edits

🥀

[lapis oak]

Hive Mind was Terry, but the original code got absolutely blasted by Fab

[misty wren]

no hive mind i thought was from one of the fargos devs

[fringe quiver]

corite ai child

[arctic turtle]

This update is trying to balance actually releasing the update before the heat death of the universe while still making the mod no longer be mid

[white vigil]

Sso will make the worm bosses actually fun trust

[lapis oak]

Xyk did Scal brothers

absolute peak

[fringe quiver]

I mean

it is reworking one worm boss

and

two actually.

[white vigil]

Helping dog to stand

[fringe quiver]

i forgot about dog.a gain

i keep forgetting about DoG

[patent sierra]

another worm boss!!! and another one!!!!!

[fringe quiver]

anyways that made me realize that the two best bosses in jthe mod will be worm bosses

[patent sierra]

and one more for the count!!!!!!!

[fringe quiver]

that's crazy

[arctic turtle]

DoG is the most insane case of AI amalgamation

[fringe quiver]

Not really tbh

[misty wren]

only fitting for the nightmare

[white vigil]

Deus is the middle child who will be forgotten until astral biome gets a small refresh

[lapis oak]

that's resorted for Signus

[wicked temple]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/800330416426713158/1447350055143997621/IMG_0461.gif

[fringe quiver]

Not defending DoG's ai frankensteinization but like

Have you seen Signus.

and Dragonfolly.

[arctic turtle]

He’s so bad that SSO is giving him a temporary rework

[modern grove]

We are the astral brothers please feed us

[fringe quiver]

Signus is 3 enemies stuck together with tape

[white vigil]

He’s been so bad for so long

[fringe quiver]

And i believe none of them are even bosses

Like Signus litearlly has fucking. Corite AI

[twin bloom]

Fighter ai yharim

[fringe quiver]

yes. corites. the stupid fucking meteor guys from solar pillar

[white vigil]

Enchanted sword ai

[patent sierra]

am i the only one who hates the astrum auraeus fight

[arctic turtle]

DoG is worse because he’s supposed have insane aura

[misty wren]

dog got the rework because fab got rid of like the one part of the fight that made it interesting and or fun

[modern grove]

Yharim should have bat ai

[lapis oak]

Fab made him even worse in dev version, and considering he's the face of the mod a temporary rework needed to be done asap

[fringe quiver]

No alot of people do

[lapis oak]

Signus and Folly can wait

[white vigil]

Bumble bird miniboss fight please

[arctic turtle]

Bumble bird was shot dead in the Bronx

[patent sierra]

DoG is the face of calamity? i thought that was calamitus, seeing her fight is what got me to install the mod

[fringe quiver]

DoG is kind of the most well known boss in the mod

[misty wren]

no no dog is the quintessential calamity boss

[white vigil]

Isn’t folly planned to be helped with a small refresh in the future until it theoretically gets placed in phm?

[fringe quiver]

Partially due to how popular his theme is

[twin bloom]

Universal collapse carried

[lapis oak]

no

[white vigil]

Thank you dokuro and cave story

[patent sierra]

i mean it is a really good theme so i get why

[wicked temple]

throudonid

[fringe quiver]

Folly tier shift is true and real

[lapis oak]

DoG is Calamity, the boss

[fringe quiver]

wow guys no way

the sky ore will be unlocked by the. sky boss

quite the concept

[white vigil]

Is it just gonna get tossed in phm with a rework or has that retier been scrapped?

[dense sundial]

well except that dark heart is angry nimbus ai and then fab made it skeletron prime ai

[fringe quiver]

The retier is gonna happen

It's just that i dunno where you heard the temporary rework thing from

[arctic turtle]

Out of anything and this I’m most excited for Evil2 rework

[white vigil]

Two queen bee fights in phm yuppeee!!!

[arctic turtle]

And the distortion I guess

[fringe quiver]

dragonfolly isn't queen bee

it's mothron

also i don't think

[lyric trellis]

Wow they’re adding pbg to phm true

[fringe quiver]

They're gonna make a tier shift without reworking the boss 😭 😭

[misty wren]

she doesnt think 😔

[fringe quiver]

Do you think they're just

Gonna nerf its stats and move it

[white vigil]

Mothron is queen be lite imo

[white vigil]

Bandaid that shit until they get around to the rework

[arctic turtle]

No it’s literally mothron

[fringe quiver]

I mean they can just

yknow

Keep it as is

[lyric trellis]

EoL is QB+ cause she has dashes

[fringe quiver]

Until they rework it

[white vigil]

Oh…

[arctic turtle]

Exact copy

[misty wren]

no when it gets moved its getting reworked

[white vigil]

I see

[lapis oak]

When the retier happens, the overhaul will also happens

[white vigil]

I wonder what the aerie is gonna look like

[lapis oak]

So Folly and Evil 2 will be overhauled and retiered in the same update

[summer shore]

Just give folly current hive mind ai

[twin bloom]

Some kind of calamity overhaul....

[fringe quiver]

evil2 tier shift is very exciting y ea

[summer shore]

With the rain dash and circular dash

[patent sierra]

whats going to happen to dragonfollys drops when she gets retiered?

[misty wren]

if you've ever done boss rush you know why stat changes arent enough to make a boss from post moon lord fit into pre hardmode and vice versa

[lapis oak]

Skeletron Prime Dark Heart

[white vigil]

Retiered

[summer shore]

and the ads

[fringe quiver]

Alot of possibilities ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dense sundial]

and the rapid vile spit spam while doing literally anything

don't forget that part

[patent sierra]

they’re way too cool looking for phm though

[white vigil]

They can make phm gear really exciting

[fringe quiver]

Folly could be given new loot and the functionality of the current gear can be moved elsewhere, per example

[white vigil]

Also

[lavish otter]

This is kind of a random thing, but this made me think of how frustrated I was reading comments from people blaming the dev team as a whole for SSO being as delayed as it is, because like...a large part of why just seems to be Fabsol fuckery

It'd be like being upset about stuff at your nearest Walmart being price-bloated to hell and blaming the cashiers

[misty wren]

oh no . yellow and red book

[fringe quiver]

Alternatively it can just be kept as is and retiered, reworekd and rebalanced

[lapis oak]

Literally just a birb

[white vigil]

Rouge wave isn’t that cool atm

[arctic turtle]

Evil2 will have insane aura post rework

[patent sierra]

swordsplosion

[white vigil]

Projectile belch

[dense sundial]

presumably 2.1 gilded proboscis will end up being a post-evils weapon, so yeah

[patent sierra]

gilded proboscis

[patent sierra]

i like how it looks

[fringe quiver]

I'm very excited for the evil2 rework because my god their current designs are so dogshit

[white vigil]

I assumed that one would stay as pml

[lapis oak]

2 of those won't be related to Folly

[patent sierra]

its a pretty sword

[valid crypt]

Yes its noxus

[lapis oak]

They're separating from the boss

[misty wren]

idk i kinda like the flesh broccoli

[fringe quiver]

Yet from the little we know of their redesigns they seem extremely promising

[white vigil]

Idk why I have a feeling they might get small changes to their themes?

[harsh gust]

[fringe quiver]

Not really

Possible

A phase 2 theme or something is possible though

[serene parrot]

what

[summer shore]

I'm very excited because that means two new post ml bosses

[white vigil]

Honestly any boss redesigns will make them infinitely more promising than they are now

[twin bloom]

The spider lookin perfs from cal fargos dlc was peam

[patent sierra]

are you talking about that one thing in the crimson that slaughters you because you kill the hole in the ground out of curiosity

[lavish otter]

Y'know, for some reason, I keep mistakenly thinking you're on the dev team

[white vigil]

I’d hope for that

[lapis oak]

Probably not

[valid crypt]

She is literally calamitas tbf

[bright crane]

Finally great placement they've fully deserved

[dense sundial]

an unfortunately large amount of people who play this game would nearly murder calamity devs for removing any dokuro music to any extent for any reason

[misty wren]

outside of EMERGENCY‼️ EMERGENCY‼️ THIS SONG PHYSICALLY DOES NOT WORK HERE ANYMORE‼️ the music is probably not being changed

[fringe quiver]

Like the very concept for their redesign is just metal as hell

Deformed corpses of deities, crudely put together and trying to return to their former glory

One symbolizing psychological horror, manipulation, and religious dogma

Another symbolizing body horror, violence and brutality

And then you compare it to what they are rn and its

[white vigil]

Isn’t heartsupplus doing something with the dog theme or was that a one off rendition for a sneak?

[fringe quiver]

purple BoC and the Evil Broccoli

hpu isn't on the team anymore

she retired

and DoG isn't getting it's theme changed ever, i can say that much

It'd be the worst possible idea of all time to do so

[lapis oak]

What

[white vigil]

alright

[lapis oak]

Never heard of

[bright crane]

I love the symbolism behind them

[arctic turtle]

Reminded me of an insane fact

[dense sundial]

would you like vanilla boss again or would you like undefined shape that spawns vanilla boss again

[fringe quiver]

Changing the mod's soundtrack when it's like, THE biggest selling point of the mod and singlehandedly the main reason it even became popular is already e xtremely iffy

Changing th eliteral most popular song in the entire mod si just

[misty wren]

and the only thing this emergency applies to in current is cv signus and weaver because their theme was never made to be an actual boss theme

[arctic turtle]

Exomechs theme does not exist yet

[fringe quiver]

Genuinely the worst possible decision that Can be made

[lavish otter]

Honestly, I'm someone that would love to see it remixed, like still having it be something new while keeping the heart of the original...but I can imagine that a lot of people wouldn't agree

[twin bloom]

Wait is giant dog scrapped since heart left or is it still happening

[patent sierra]

someone should make a mod after the redesign to make it so when you summon both at the same time somehow they spawn a merged version for hard mode

[arctic turtle]

Later

[serene parrot]

i think its still gonna be a thing

[arctic turtle]

Still alive

[modern grove]

They should add HUNTR/X to calamity

[fringe quiver]

I don't think we have gotten any statements on that yet

I believe it's up in the air

don't quote me on that though

[bright crane]

Wait are dokuro's songs getting replaced????

[fringe quiver]

i ain't a dev

[misty wren]

no

[fringe quiver]

No i'm saying the opposite of that

[dense sundial]

can we have this except the result of the merger is literally just straghess from nightreign

[bright crane]

That's great actually

[lapis oak]

It's best to leave them be

[arctic turtle]

Would instantly kill the mod

[bright crane]

Aaaa, I see

[fringe quiver]

Replacing any of Dokuro's songs is already extremely questionable and would need massive justification

[modern grove]

Well it's unfinished soooo

Who knows

[fringe quiver]

Replacing Devourer's theme is

[misty wren]

not outside of like one potential replacement (sentinel themes)

[fringe quiver]

It's just No

[modern grove]

Idk if anyone on the art team would prefer to finish hpu dog instead of just making a new design

[patent sierra]

why would they, what reason could be

[white vigil]

Dokuro laid the groundwork for the atmosphere of the fights and honestly I think some music touch ups would be nice to go with some fight reworks, not huge changes but maybe something

[lavish otter]

Also I don't think there's a solid consensus on that yet, but the devs I've seen talking about that have been saying that they'd want it to be a bit smaller, and that the specific sprite is probably going to be changed

[fringe quiver]

I know there's enough dissatisfaction with the sprite in the dev team to warrant it being replaced if that consensus is reached tbh

[fringe quiver]

This yeah

[misty wren]

sentinel themes are the only songs in the ost that the case can be made to remove them

[fringe quiver]

It's a unfinished sprite, hpu isn't on the team anymore

[dense sundial]

personally i think a lot of the dokuro tracks are supremely unfitting to the idea of the boss

[lavish otter]

Ye ye! That's what I was thinking too, since they're still plenty good, but I'd love to hear modernized versions of them like some of CD's songs

[fringe quiver]

and other artists have already voiced their opinion on the design which generally boils down to them having some big critiques on it alot of the time

So frankly

Wouldn't be surprised if it was scrapped

[white vigil]

Yeah, which ones do you have in mind?

[modern grove]

I trust Tobias

[fringe quiver]

Tobias has goated creature design

[arctic turtle]

The calamity mod team forever cursed to keep respriting worm bosses

[patent sierra]

wait is dog unfinished in sprite?

[valid crypt]

Cheese can you be melted

[fringe quiver]

Yeah

DoG's resprite has been unfished

unfinished

[modern grove]

His naked sprite isn't finished I believe

[fringe quiver]

And HPU left before finishing it

so

[white vigil]

11 millionth resprite is in the works

[patent sierra]

looks fine to me

[lavish otter]

Un🐟

[valid crypt]

Thanks for the answer

[misty wren]

well it was never fished in the first place so unfished works too

[lavish otter]

It escaped from the fish mines

[fringe quiver]

There literally is no spritework done for the body or tail of phase 2

It's just th ehead

[modern grove]

I thinkkk the p2 armored sprite was finished but then hpu changed it a bit and idk if it's finished. And p1 is just unfinished

[arctic turtle]

Dog deserves better than fine

[dense sundial]

the idea of polter is that it's a convulsing mass of souls formed from countless bodies thrown in the dungeon to rot, raging endlessly against the tyrant who created it

and polter's theme is... progressive rock?

[white vigil]

It’s it’s not divine it’s not fine

[lavish otter]

Actually, did phase 1 ever have a tail if you know?

[modern grove]

I don't think

[lavish otter]

I always wondered what that was going to look like

[fringe quiver]

Dokuro's songs sometimes don't really fit the bosses as well as they could because they were made with a entirely different idea than what they are nowadays in mind

[misty wren]

p2 is/was done, unarmored i think heart was starting to work on but never finished

[white vigil]

And for its concepted possessed armor resprite it definitely won’t fit

[dense sundial]

if i were to do a polter theme it would be more like uhh

Adel, Baron of Night, perhaps

[white vigil]

Elden Ring theme

[modern grove]

The world if armor wasn't a major part of dog's presentation

[fringe quiver]

Tbh i think armor can work it's just

[lavish otter]

Fire and brimstone

[fringe quiver]

Done very,

uh

[arctic turtle]

Part of his aura and lore

[fringe quiver]

Yeah it's just really damn uninspired

Like cmon this is like

[modern grove]

Go my metal pipe

[white vigil]

Yes!

[fringe quiver]

John Arrogance and Hubris

And you give him like

Generic Worm With Armor Design Numero Five Hundred

[lavish otter]

Good point honestly
I've seen a lot of people say his armor is too flashy, but I don't think it's nearly flashy enough

[fringe quiver]

You could do so much more to communicate his vanity, arrogance and pride through his design

[white vigil]

I feel like if dog is so arrogant he wouldn’t want armor

[fringe quiver]

DoG's armor isn't flashy at all

I'm gonna be honest

[modern grove]

If he relies on armor to have aura he's a fraud

[misty wren]

hpu is very good at spritework but design work is not her strong suit i think

[modern grove]

I hate him being a fraud it's lame as hell

[arctic turtle]

The lore of Draedon being responsible for most boss fights

[lavish otter]

That's one area where I prefer Iban's old concept, considering it looks more...ceremonial while still looking functional and dangerous

[twin bloom]

If only ibans design for dog went thru.....

[modern grove]

Fables

[white vigil]

The deep sea looking wyrm?

[fringe quiver]

I wouldn't really full on call DoG a fraud if we're being serious

He's just full of himself

[lavish otter]

Ye ye, the frilly one

[fringe quiver]

He's still like

comically powerful

[white vigil]

Why did he pull it from the mod again or why was it scrapped

[fringe quiver]

He's not a punching bag

[arctic turtle]

Why is Draedon more of an antagonist than yharim

[fringe quiver]

He's just a Victim of his own Hubris

[misty wren]

22 bullet

[dense sundial]

consider. https://youtu.be/Jdia29yUmXw?si=I4POZKkhvdBBbR4j

[white vigil]

Remind me?

[patent sierra]

i think aquatic scourge needs a redesign

[lavish otter]

He himself left the team, and most (if not all) of his concepts came with him

[modern grove]

I think dog not having any armor at all would be a lot more aurafull

Maybe like, slightly decorative armor

[white vigil]

Ah

[fringe quiver]

it will get one

[modern grove]

Nothing practical

[valid crypt]

DoG just claims a few things he cant do as his (like cv)
The guys still among the strongest things on the planet

[white vigil]

I was so excited for that concept for the dog too

[fringe quiver]

unless stated otherwise, every boss probably will

[misty wren]

22 devs left because fabsol fuckery, anything not in the mod at that point of his was pulled

[lavish otter]

I think it's gonna get one with the Acid Rain changes, which I'm excited to see

[patent sierra]

berefit vassal would also benefit

[patent sierra]

thank goodness

some of them need it

[modern grove]

He is a powerful creature from another dimension I think him hiding behind the armor is lame lame lame

[patent sierra]

desperately

[white vigil]

I wonder if they have any reason to come back now that Fabsol is dead in the mud

[arctic turtle]

Everything in pre-SSO calamity will eventually be reworked

[misty wren]

they have their own mod to work on

[fringe quiver]

I mean isn't the idea for the fight that he

Literally fights you without the armor

[white vigil]

Makes sense

[fringe quiver]

But then you actually beat his ass and he's like oh shit i underestimated this guy and puts on armor

[lavish otter]

Also honestly, I can't think of a boss that's not inevitably going to be resprited except for like...Calamitas, the Exos, and maybe PBG

[fringe quiver]

Showing that if he had it his way yeah he'd go bum naked in there

Just to flex

[dense sundial]

scal?

or do you mean clone

[arctic turtle]

The Armor was canonically made by Draedon

[fringe quiver]

I don't think there's any reason for scal to be resprited yea

[lavish otter]

SCal, Clone is definitely getting redesigned in the future

Old ass sprite

[fringe quiver]

i am aware of that and i am not sure how that is relevant

[dense sundial]

wait you said Not respriting

i shouldn't be awake rn

[misty wren]

leviathan and probably providence just because of size shenanigans

[fringe quiver]

leviathan and providence are like "if someone REALLY wants to but i dont think anyone does right now"

[summer shore]

Resprites scal to be

[lavish otter]

Oh right, I forget about them sometimes
But you're right...maybe Providence too, for the same reason

[arctic turtle]

It’s his tie to yharim which is allegedly the main antagonist of the calamity

[valid crypt]

Already an addon for that

[lavish otter]

She beeg

[modern grove]

Omw to resprite leviathan out of pure spite because her design is silly and I don't vibe with it

[fringe quiver]

I am aware of that and i am not sure how that is relevant ^ 2

[patent sierra]

isnt calamitas one of those that dont need any respriting?

[arctic turtle]

Adds to his aura

[valid crypt]

The clone does

[valid crypt]

Yharim has aura

[lusty stirrup]

scal is getting resprited, she’s being turned gray again

[modern grove]

The mod is in development, lore can be changed to fit better

[white vigil]

Yharon resprite will
Come after Yharim is added and the mod is finished

[summer shore]

Make levi into ultrakill levi and turn into worm boss

[lusty stirrup]

[modern grove]

Not saying it will or won't

[lavish otter]

Yeah, SCal and Exos are the main ones since they're already pretty modernized

[fringe quiver]

I don't even know why that was broguht up

[lavish otter]

If anything, they're kind of the standard for modern sprites

[fringe quiver]

It has literally nothing to do with what i was saying whatsoever

[summer shore]

Already happened

[modern grove]

Just like, it's not an argument that the lore of this thing is something when it can easily be changed

[summer shore]

Recent patch

[arctic turtle]

Like fighting a key part of the villains gang type stuff

[fringe quiver]

I wouldn't say easily

[dense sundial]

i like levi being a mosasaurus but i haven't had any other ideas

have you had any

[fringe quiver]

Changing lore isn't as easy as people make it sound

It depends alot on what exactly it is

[lavish otter]

Eugh, tell me about it

[fringe quiver]

Minor details and dettached concepts yeah

[thorny glacier]

plus Levi and prov for being enormous in size

[misty wren]

like even iban was like yeah no i hope people dont try to resprite this again because it fucking sucked for levi

[fringe quiver]

That's generally not had to change

[white vigil]

Kraken-esque would be neat

[fringe quiver]

But pretty big things are.. yeah not really easy

[dense sundial]

no we have way too many krakens in media as a whole

[patent sierra]

is the lorde going to get buffed to be stronger than yharim

[arctic turtle]

Levi is good enough

[fringe quiver]

People greatly underestimate how hard it is to write a cohesive story

[dense sundial]

a big sea creature can be a lot of things

[fringe quiver]

Also yeah please not kraken levi come on

That's liek

literally the most boring option 😭

[arctic turtle]

This is ragebait

[summer shore]

Charybdis levi

[misty wren]

sea sponge leviathan

[modern grove]

Turn Levi into giant plesiosaur

[fringe quiver]

Specially when we already have a few other squid monsters

[modern grove]

(idk

[lavish otter]

Honestly yeah, for as awkward as she looks in gameplay, her design right now is actually pretty solid

[patent sierra]

levi already looks great though

[summer shore]

Sea bunny leviathan

[thorny glacier]

turn levi into a worm

[lusty stirrup]

honestly i liked the slight pink 😔….

[patent sierra]

so that reason as well

[valid crypt]

Just make leviathan absorb all water on your world and then attack you with it

[white vigil]

Nudibranch levi

[dense sundial]

it's funny that i keep bringing up nightreign as an example, but consider Maris, which is a cnidarian

[white vigil]

Would be fire asf

[modern grove]

Never forget my seaslug aquatic scourge

[misty wren]

we already have cnidarian its an active summon weapon 💔

[modern grove]

Don't forget or I'll break your knees

[lavish otter]

Cnidrion?

[valid crypt]

Idk what that is

[arctic turtle]

I think you just like Elden ring too much

[modern grove]

Say goodbye to your knees

[white vigil]

Ts is not a cnidarian

[patent sierra]

waiter!!! waiter!!! eighty billion more worm bosses please!!!

[dense sundial]

how much is too much

[valid crypt]

Did i forget or just never see it

[fringe quiver]

Isn't it fucked up how Cnidrion is named after Cnidarians yet has nothing to do with Cnidarians

That'sd fucked up

He is not a jellyfish in any way, shape, or form

[misty wren]

and how then theres also cnidarian as its own thing

[modern grove]

He's stupid but I like him still

[white vigil]

I’m begging for it to be just a box jelly in sso

[fringe quiver]

eater of old dulkes

[thorny glacier]

slug

[lapis oak]

Also the current sprite is literally unfinished

[dense sundial]

BLOODWORM MENTIONED

[lavish otter]

Wait what- huh, why's it called Cnidrion again?
I didn't know what those were, so I expected them to at least be close to seahorses, but nope

[patent sierra]

I HATE CNIDRION SO MUCH it kept killing me the instant i set foot in a desert before i actually get geared

[fringe quiver]

the "natural predator of old duke" bit is still so funny

[fringe quiver]

Because whoever named it 20 years ago thought it sounded cool probably

[lusty stirrup]

when will aquatic scourge get a resprite to be similar to the new desert scourge sprite…
or is “scourge” just a class of organisms defined on being long and thin, like how leviathan class organisms are aquatic giants that dwarf most other life except fellow leviathan class organisms

[white vigil]

It hunts baby old guys

[fringe quiver]

aquatic scourge will get a redesign to be more in line with DS eventually

Just not now

[valid crypt]

Species of OP racist grandpas

[modern grove]

Always bet on frog aquatic scourge

Cnidaria is the phylum containing jellies, corals, anemones, and hydras

[summer shore]

[white vigil]

I thought it was gonna branch off after the newest Ds resprite

[fringe quiver]

wdym by "branch off"

[lusty stirrup]

make my goat into a thing i’d willingly crush by stepping on….

[patent sierra]

it would be really funny if they made cnidrion look like this even in phm

[arctic turtle]

Probably reworked with the rest of the sulfur sea/acid rain

[fringe quiver]

yea

[lusty stirrup]

become a different thing, not similar species

[fringe quiver]

nah its still a related species

[valid crypt]

You aint throudon

[fringe quiver]

it'll still look distinct though

[arctic turtle]

I eagerly await the day when they finally kill old duke

[dense sundial]

👎👎👎

[modern grove]

Yk groal is so sad because he lived in the bilewaters before it was biled, and he now has bile based attacks himself. It's like, if you were living in a house that got hit by radiation and now you have radiation based attacks yourself

[fringe quiver]

You can make designs that evoke organisms that are related while also being clearly very different

[lusty stirrup]

[fringe quiver]

look at like

barioth and nargacuga monster hunter

they're closely related and have alot of traits that they share but are also like

nothing alike

[patent sierra]

one fishron clone for you good sir

[arctic turtle]

Take unc off life support

[fringe quiver]

they wont

[misty wren]

FISH OF THESEUS!!!!!

[lusty stirrup]

he got a theme from dokuro he isn’t being killed off

[fringe quiver]

he's just being dissasembled in 500 pieces and rebuilt as something else entirely instead

[dense sundial]

fish of theseus is functionally killing old duke and that's what matters

[lavish otter]

I wonder what a good real life equivalent would be...maybe different turtles?

[white vigil]

Alternatively, rathalos and Rathian

[fringe quiver]

he won't be a pig, or a fish, or a fishron

[valid crypt]

Ship of theseusd so kinda is

[fringe quiver]

i think that is like

[patent sierra]

old duke feels so out of place in post moon lord

[fringe quiver]

not a very good example

becasue those are atually literally the same exact animal

[white vigil]

Yeep

[fringe quiver]

rathians are just female

[twin bloom]

Pre hm old duke

[white vigil]

Where’s my sexual dimorphism in calamity

[summer shore]

Post yharim acid squid

[fringe quiver]

post yharim squid

[lavish otter]

Most bosses will inevitably be reworked in the future, and Old Duke itself is basically getting stripped of everything except the base concept

[dense sundial]

We don't talk about that.

[fringe quiver]

yeah old duke is gonna keep the racist old sulphur sea dragon part and uh

Scrap everything else

reborn as a lotus flower

[lusty stirrup]

i can’t wait for an addon that re-adds old duke and makes him the greatest super boss to ever grace the planet after he’s replaced….

[white vigil]

As a nudibranch

[fringe quiver]

won't even be associated with duke fishron anymore afaik

[patent sierra]

i cant wait for eighty billion bosses to be reworked into phm

[misty wren]

its losing its base concept because its base concept is old duke fishron

[arctic turtle]

I FORGOT ABOUT THE OLD DUKE GLOW UP

[fiery wadi]

clam mod tea

[lavish otter]

In lore, I should say

[patent sierra]

speaking of rework is crabulon ever going to get boosted up? he does NOT fit in pre hardmode imo

[fringe quiver]

The unarguably best part of old duke is the music and the fucking lore out of all things

[fringe quiver]

does not fit in pre hardmode

[lavish otter]

Or wait- nah, it was also an old ass fish in the lore

[fringe quiver]

Brother. that is a crab with mushrooms on it

i think crabulon is the single most pre hardmode boss in the entire mod

[valid crypt]

Its a mushroom crab fym not fit pre hardmode

[lusty stirrup]

[patent sierra]

its a very cool crab with mushrooms on it

[arctic turtle]

Yeah what

[patent sierra]

dont be mean to my boy

[fringe quiver]

He's getting reworked

[misty wren]

yeah no crab is inherently pre hardmode

[fringe quiver]

but he'll remain in pre hardmode

[bright crane]

so, is the hpu dog getting scrapped and replaced with a different design or is it just getting some slight tweaks and improvements?

[misty wren]

unknown

[arctic turtle]

Who knows

[twin bloom]

No body nose

[fringe quiver]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[lavish otter]

No worries, the infected crab stocks get boosted a bit by Astrum Aure-
...nevermind

[fringe quiver]

Shared my input on it earlier in chat

But it was naught but speculation

[modern grove]

Yharim getting his shit rocked after meeting shoebill from real life (he seemed like a threat to shoebills territory)

[patent sierra]

slime god definitely doesnt fit in phm though, especially since queen slime is a hm boss

[fringe quiver]

Artists on the team have already expressed dissatisfication with the design, the sprite is unfinished, HPU isn't on the team to finish it anymore

[lusty stirrup]

please don’t have it be entirely scrapped please dot. have it be entirely scrapped please don’t have it be entirely scrapped

[misty wren]

great news

[summer shore]

Old duke as an old man who uses a dragon corpse as a dracolich

[lapis oak]

I hate Discord mobile so fucking much

[fringe quiver]

Seems like it'd be more of a struggle to finish it than to just make a new one :p

[lapis oak]

can't send any messages

[bright crane]

Well then, it seems we gotta wait and see

[rich ginkgo]

🤷‍♂️

[fringe quiver]

true .

[dense sundial]

i have a spear in my room and i am not afraid to do something with it if dog's design stays

[patent sierra]

oh is slime god getting replaced

replacemented

[valid crypt]

Why

[modern grove]

Slime god is now a slug, too

[dense sundial]

...it's made of pvc, but yeah

[misty wren]

no its probably gonna get retiered

[fringe quiver]

The triangular old duke lore

[modern grove]

The earthly type

[fringe quiver]

That one's good

[arctic turtle]

Never forget OG Astrageldon

[summer shore]

Manifests its scrappening

[lavish otter]

In the (admittedly slapdash) lore, Queen Slime's core is supposed to be Slime God after creating her and getting crystalized, but yeah, it's most likely getting bumped up in the tiers

[dense sundial]

actually that statement kinda sucked, i should sleep

[rich ginkgo]

it’d be better for it to be scrapped im ngl

[fiery wadi]

so are we gonna see sso update billboards across every city?

[lusty stirrup]

it looks so cool…. and i want a massive dog….

[fiery wadi]

and paid movie advertisements

[lyric trellis]

Horrendous boss

[fringe quiver]

Triangular old duke lore single handedly elevates old duke from the most nothingburger boss ever with no relevance whatsoever to an actually very interesting character with alot of potential

[arctic turtle]

My goat

[valid crypt]

The design can get scrapped without dog being shrunk

[bright crane]

But in the end I hope it's not going to waste because the work is absolutely STUNNING and I'm worried another dog might've been a downgrade in quality but maybe it's just my fear knowing there are so many talented ppl out there 😔

[lusty stirrup]

true

[rich ginkgo]

bigger makes it 10x harder to work with and the design is just purple worm

[lavish otter]

I mean, it's probably also going to be shrunk, but it's in discussion

[arctic turtle]

He is the goat not because he is good but because he is astrageldon

[patent sierra]

that is way too crazy of lore for queen slime of all bosses, im sure that will get scrapped

[dense sundial]

"purple worm" could be a lot of things, but dog's designs are a very specific breed of generic

if that makes sense

[fiery wadi]

lowk i can't imagine a dog fight that isn't ram dash 24/7 anymore 😭

[fringe quiver]

It was basically a bandaid fix

[misty wren]

the issue is not the size the issue is the fact that hpu just isnt that great with design work

[fringe quiver]

If slime god's tier shift happens it will (gladly) be scrapped

The problem is that

[lusty stirrup]

i do NOT wanna have to play on legendary mode or infernum to have a DoG that isn’t tiny….

[fringe quiver]

Slime god already existed in calamity

[arctic turtle]

That’s vanilla terraria lore

[modern grove]

How much can I get away with posting my art in this channel

[fringe quiver]

Queen slime was added after

[tribal isle]

will they rework blushie staff it looks like it’s from 2016

[fringe quiver]

..no its not

its. its calamity lore

queen slime. being slime god. the calamity character. is calamity lore

[lavish otter]

Hopefully indefinitely, this is beautiful

[rich ginkgo]

does purple plated worm help

[fiery wadi]

this is just leaked concept art wdym

[misty wren]

my guy infernum dog would be smaller anyways it uses its own override sprite

[rich ginkgo]

because it’s been the exact same design in different fonts for years now lmao

[fringe quiver]

it's 5 am i'm getting too irritable 😭 😭

[patent sierra]

slime god also is just generally hideous i cant wait for a rework

[fringe quiver]

glucnh

glunch

[rich ginkgo]

look at what they did to yharon, that’s a massive fucking upgrade
dog is… 128p to 1080p

design wise

[fringe quiver]

yea its hd 1080p

[lusty stirrup]

i understand that, but it’s still larger than what we have now

[lyric trellis]

Vanilla SG true

[arctic turtle]

It’s the same as vanilla just with king slime instead of slime god

[lapis oak]

Do not play DST while irritated

[fiery wadi]

what can we expect with the new deerclops superboss rework 🤔

[fringe quiver]

no its

its really not

its not at all

vanilla has No Lore for king and queen slime beyond just

big slime. one

[arctic turtle]

Wait no

[modern grove]

Vanilla lore doesn't exist wake up

[fringe quiver]

big slime. two

^

[lusty stirrup]

what is brother on about….

[arctic turtle]

We both wrong

[fringe quiver]

no you're wrong

[modern grove]

It's up to your interpretation because you are the player in a sandbox game

[lusty stirrup]

[fringe quiver]

just you

[dense sundial]

try "flat abstract nonsensical neon spiky big-jawed gemmed metal laser worm"

[fringe quiver]

dude i'm getting way too evil

[modern grove]

It just gives you elements to work with

[fringe quiver]

sleep deprivation be damned

[modern grove]

You can interpret them any way you want

[misty wren]

vanilla lore is shit red thought of when taking a midnight shower

[patent sierra]

evil cheese

[arctic turtle]

Queen slime is the remains of king slime after absorbing the hallow’s energy

[fiery wadi]

yet its peak.

[fringe quiver]

yeah that’s true

[valid crypt]

cheese can you kill melon for me

[fringe quiver]

[fiery wadi]

i hate this image sm

[lavish otter]

Honestly, I've gotta respect it
Making up an elaborate and tightly knit lore system is difficult, and I can kind of respect a guy that's just like "Fuck it, Cthulhu is the guide's dad now"

[rich ginkgo]

super big worm that shoots lasers and it’s neon and spiky… 🤯

[fiery wadi]

aquatic scourge is my top 1

[cunning sequoia]

where is this said

[rich ginkgo]

it’s even better the 500th time!

[dense sundial]

is it? or is it "take a vanilla boss and make it metal"

[bright crane]

arent there premade design concept art made by other ppl actually?

[rich ginkgo]

lol what is that statement

[modern grove]

Eow and destroyer are far from being creatively innovative but their designs at least make sense they're not just abstract shapes

[rich ginkgo]

hpu isnt not great with design.. the design was literally based off of the cover art

[lavish otter]

Also you have a point, but a big part of the issue is definitely the size

[arctic turtle]

I might be schizo

[misty wren]

i mean yes there are fan designs for dog but the devs are going to ask permission before using them or just make their own

[lavish otter]

No one wants to design AI for that thing

[rich ginkgo]

we dont need to diss someones skills to make criticism on something

[arctic turtle]

Genuinely where did I here this

[misty wren]

theres more to a design than just the face

[dense sundial]

• Yeah!

[valid crypt]

Remains of king slime is the slimes it spawns and their remains are the gel they drop

[patent sierra]

why do we call dog hpu

[lavish otter]

HPU is the dev that made the sprite

[misty wren]

the face is fine its the rest of the body thats the issue im not saying it as an insult

[lusty stirrup]

i will not fall for metal brain propaganda i will not fall for metal brain propaganda i will not fall for metal brain propaganda

[lavish otter]

Or the big sprite, to clarify

[patent sierra]

yes but why do we refer to dog with the dev name

[modern grove]

Brimstone crags enemies who are metal for some reason

[rich ginkgo]

(the face being like the only distinct part because the other 90% of dogs body is just the same sprite copy and pasted for 50 segments)

[modern grove]

Astral enemies who are metal for some reason

[lavish otter]

Because it's referring to the design she made specifically

[patent sierra]

ohh

[dense sundial]

official eater of worlds art even shows it having little cheatae/parapodia

[arctic turtle]

I am a proud member of the pre 1.4 fan made metal boss schizoposting

[misty wren]

that doesnt mean the rest of the body doesnt matter

[summer shore]

Just make the body Not copypasted

[rich ginkgo]

yeah of course it matters but id argue the face is the much more noticed part

[dense sundial]

mind that this is literally how real worms are built

it's not inherently a bad thing

[misty wren]

again im not saying it as an insult she just isnt that great at it its not her strong suit

[arctic turtle]

Have we considered that the cal team doesn’t know what to do abt the DoG resprite either

[lusty stirrup]

where’s the issue with this…

[fiery wadi]

give dog feet

[lavish otter]

Y'know, I've gotta say something by the way...in terms of the entire package, I think Sepulchre has the most visually appealing design for a worm enemy because of its body segments

[lyric trellis]

Cal team (1 entity)

[rich ginkgo]

the issue with what

[fiery wadi]

i agree

[cunning sequoia]

cal team? you mean fabsol

oh right...

cant make that joke anymore...

[fiery wadi]

sepulchre could be it's own great boss

if stuff was done w it

[rich ginkgo]

idk from what ive heard coordination is lacking rn

[lyric trellis]

Who are we supposed to blame now…

[cunning sequoia]

cal team? you mean [Ozzatron]

[misty wren]

the woke left

[dense sundial]

every dev simultaneously, of course

[lusty stirrup]

didn’t yardis do this….

[lyric trellis]

Specifically Ben

[fiery wadi]

thats not what i mean 😭

[lavish otter]

Funny enough, if anything, they seem to have been more coordinated since Fab left than they were when he was still in charge

[dense sundial]

i will blame Flo for this because who even you

[cunning sequoia]

blame me

[lavish otter]

Since now they can...actually get shit done

[dense sundial]

(not a dev)

[cunning sequoia]

shhh

[arctic turtle]

Everyone pick a cal team member to blame

[misty wren]

ok

[lusty stirrup]

wait for a major update until you bash the new fabless cal team….

fabless? fables? huh….

[fiery wadi]

isnt ozzatron the lead now?

[modern grove]

Gonna be real, I think HPU did a poor job converting the album art design into a sprite.

One of my main issues is that in the album art, it looks like the camera is placed right in front of dog and he looks at the camera. Like, the pov is right in front of him. But on the new sprite the face is the exact same, but it's placed on top of his head for some reason?? So he can't really look in front of him, he only looks up.

Another issue that is related to the cover art design more is that the armor on the body just. Doesn't have the elements from the helmet at all. Those wavy metal patterns. They're located exclusively on the head. What's the point in basing the design on the cover art when it has almost nothing to do with it?

[lavish otter]

True, but he is a cool dude

[misty wren]

@cunning sequoia fuck you you shouldnt have made those crate changes im going to your house and hitting you with a tree

[dense sundial]

the p2 head kinda looks like his face was smashed in with a cartoon hammer, yeah

[cunning sequoia]

wow. hostile

gonna have to ban u now...

[rich ginkgo]

yeah they can get shit done without fab on their ass 24/7 but that doesnt mean everyone is dialled in and locked, apparently some of the team doesnt even know what’s happening half the time

[modern grove]

I ban you

[rich ginkgo]

this is coming from ozz himself

like

[misty wren]

i ban play

[rich ginkgo]

there was a whole conversation about it

[arctic turtle]

We still live in a post 22 world

[fiery wadi]

the world if lucille was working on cal: 🐐

[arctic turtle]

No

[rich ginkgo]

you’re right

[misty wren]

i dont think lucille would have been happy continuing to work on cal

[lavish otter]

I feel like that's more due to how they have a lot left to fix from when he was still in charge, it'll probably fix itself in time

I don’t want to starve tho

[rich ginkgo]

ok yeah like his eyes are literally on the top of his head

and the inner mandibles are going downwards?

[lavish otter]

Y'know, I didn't think about that
He probably couldn't even see you if you were right in front of him

[lapis oak]

cheese only play alone ;(

[rich ginkgo]

yeah that’s the funny part

[arctic turtle]

Have we considered that he doesn’t need eyes to see

[rich ginkgo]

this mf cant see for shit

😭

[lapis oak]

also why the fuck are you in Denmark

[dense sundial]

bro think he a barreleye

[lapis oak]

@summer shore tupid

[dense sundial]

then why does he have eyes

[summer shore]

I am not in denmark

[fiery wadi]

for aura

[arctic turtle]

Aura

[lavish otter]

No wonder Braelor kicked his ass, couldn't even see the dude

[summer shore]

I just said denmark (D) standard (S) time (T)

[modern grove]

It's not aura if he looks stupid

[lusty stirrup]

what if it’s shaped like this where he is still looking forward

[summer shore]

Stupiri

[dense sundial]

he looks like his skull was bashed in with a hammer. that is not aura

[arctic turtle]

He’s also from the distortion which is evil and weird

[fiery wadi]

distortion standard time

[rich ginkgo]

his face doesnt really look like it’s pointing downwards

[lavish otter]

Also I'm still thinking about that random divot on his forehead where the gem in his armor goes...for some reason

[arctic turtle]

Or lives there
I forgot the lore

[rich ginkgo]

im like 90% sure his eyes are on top of his head and all you’d see from the front would be his inner mandibles (going downwards??) and mouth

[dense sundial]

wait yeah, why does he have this little bone knob thing

[modern grove]

The shading seems to imply that, yes

[summer shore]

That's his nose

Those who nose

[lusty stirrup]

that’s his forehead

[arctic turtle]

Aura??????

[lavish otter]

I was thinking about phase 1 where he has a random dent in his skull where the gem goes, but that's also funny

[dense sundial]

great now i'm thinking about his nose

[rich ginkgo]

i think it’s just apart of the helmet

like a triceratops’ uhm

[lyric trellis]

Those who nose

[rich ginkgo]

head plate

or whatever

[summer shore]

Clearly the blue is his nose and his real eyes are the pink

[dense sundial]

why is it on the helmet then

[azure oak]

honestly just wish the design would be more original than phase 2 but bigger

[rich ginkgo]

who knows bro 😭

[fiery wadi]

give dog feet

[rich ginkgo]

probably just draedon going the extra mile

with the design

[dense sundial]

anyway that was a dumb thing to analyze much

[lusty stirrup]

[dense sundial]

apologies

[fiery wadi]

i know bruh

[modern grove]

Never forget the peak

[fiery wadi]

Actually that’s the armor

Blame Draedon

[lavish otter]

Oh wait...I've been played for a fool...the dent doesn't exist in the original design, it was just added to this abomination!

cause the previous SSO dev version was that bad

[onyx valve]

Yeah, no doubt why I have to wash my eyes with soap after seeing this thing

[modern grove]

You don't see the vision

[modern grove]

Rlly curious what it was

[azure oak]

me too

[lapis oak]

DoG without body lasers

the only threat he has for the entire fight

[modern grove]

What does he even do❓

[desert garnet]

nothing

[rich ginkgo]

nobody knows

[winter wagon]

Fair enough lol

[ashen bolt]

What is THAT bro

I need a men in black mind wipe after the displeasure of seeing ts

[clear compass]

He can help you

[ashen bolt]

[cunning sequoia]

this overhauls my calamity

[vivid hemlock]

this is the most artificial community lie ever

dog has never gotten a true rework before

you have been lied to

[cunning sequoia]

also "DoG gets resprited every week"

he hasnt been resprited in 7 years

[lapis oak]

literally feeding themselves into echo chamber and misinformation for so long then blaming the devs 😭

[cunning sequoia]

ok 6.5 years

but point still stands

[dusk bronze]

he just got a ton of resprites in quick succession over half a decade ago so people gaslit themselves into thinking it's a constant occurrence

[cunning sequoia]

most people who say that havent even experienced a single one of his resprites

[dusk bronze]

[lapis oak]

"I'm just gonna believe this one thing I heard religiously without fact checking any parts of it and spread it all over the places"

[lyric trellis]

This is the funniest part

[hard hearth]

i was there in the trenches when that saying was accurate....,,.,...,..

[dusk bronze]

old man

[cunning sequoia]

ein fossil

bro is part rock type

[vivid hemlock]

💔

[hard hearth]

😊

[modern grove]

We should remove human rights from all old people and then kill them I think

I'm old too so it's a self sacrifice for the sake of youth

[lapis oak]

ok unc

[exotic axle]

Whrat I just woke up

[cunning sequoia]

zarafard...

[summer shore]

farto

[hardy gulch]

[dusk bronze]

[wooden blade]

[wise bolt]

WHAT

I forgor

[distant raft]

no embed perms even for patrons

[deft lily]

Despicable.

[warm loom]

Calamity mod update: Soon

[wide nova]

Umbara on calmain

[hushed hazel]

paying the devs isn't enough to get embeds you have to pay me

[wide nova]

what is this heresy

[hushed hazel]

😁

[deft lily]

Im not even a patreon anymore so idk why I have this role.

[distant raft]

patreon sucks

[deft lily]

Hi

[wide nova]

hi

[hushed hazel]

the bot hasn't removed it i guess

[obtuse hawk]

hi tyeski hi umbara

[distant raft]

is patreon bot cosplaying as suggestion bot

[obtuse hawk]

fungus bot

[wide nova]

hello user

[misty wren]

yeah nah the patreon bot just doesnt work its been a thing longer than suggbot not working

if anything suggbot is cosplaying patreonbot

[distant raft]

ok but suggbot is known for functioning once a week and shitting itself the rest of the time

[misty wren]

yeah patreonbot isnt known for functioning at all

[hushed hazel]

"do not recite the deep magic to me, witch" ass bot

[deft lily]

Clearly I should get my own role

I totally deserve it

[distant raft]

i should donate 500k for a patreon item and a custom role surely that would work

(i do not have this money do not get your hopes up)

[obtuse hawk]

1 million dollar to calamity squirrel staff

[rich ginkgo]

one patreon item please!

[tropic jolt]

2 trillion for a time machine and 50 dollars for a patreon item

travel 5 years in the past to buy one and 50 years in the future for it to be ready

[distant raft]

that would involve giving money to fabsol which is what i wanted to avoid

[tropic jolt]

[hasty tangle]

its probably just cheaper to bribe someone who is in the queue for getting a donor item that hasnt been implemented yet

[tropic jolt]

we're going back in time to the first calamity to get fabsol off the menu

🦃

[remote bay]

Whats the latest development in amidias posting

[remote bay]

[white aurora]

💀

[tropic jolt]

try to remember

[remote bay]

[remote bay]

it never ends

[azure oak]

no words, just the vacant stare of death

[lapis oak]

is this Saddam Hussein's hideout

[tropic jolt]

look closer

[lapis oak]

Saddam Hussein's hideout

[tropic jolt]

maybe

[remote bay]

While we wait for sso to come out someone should make a game in the meantime in which all the characters are the amidiases

[exotic axle]

Ohhhhh I gotchya

I had fun

But I’m happier to move on I think

[hot pebble]

SSO 2 is real

its me btw

[tropic jolt]

the horrors

[hot pebble]

OH!

I forgot

Benji in SSO!

[azure oak]

i will be in sso
