or at least we don't have anything tangible to show rn
its been a lot of back end work that i imagine the average calamity fan wouldn't find all that interesting
nice. assuming this means development doesnt feel like purgatory
hi melon user
Forgive me for being so pushy. I'm not having the best of times.
It's fine.
half of us here are dedicated to sso rot actually and will begin disintegrating after it releases (our unfinished buisness keeping us from the afterlife is fulfilled)
Hey umbara
Once sso comes out ill finally be able to have food for the first time
Wtf lol.
melon?
Bro is starving himself đ .
Im a they them
Ah.
Mb.
If you showed a single pixel of literally anything it would make people go nuts
takes no effort and you'd be seen as a hero
CD shows a singular note of the exo mech theme
+1 Trillion views
exo mechs don't even need it that bad dude
inferior fabrication is good enough alr for the quality of the fight
This gonna be our Christmas present
I will refrain from stating my opinion for the sake of not getting told to go fuck myself.
inferior fabrications isn't even a main calamity song, it was made for infernum
it was always meant to be a placeholder
im aware. For a placeholder song its good
that's what I'm saying. definitely better than the fight itself
the exo mechs fight is a placeholder
true
so true
Most fights are placeholders
hi alex!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi bro
all fights except cryogen are because they're getting reworked
doc says no cryo rework
If any boss is on the âunlikely to be reworkedâ list I would think itâd be scal
dont tell me...
anilevi are the least likely to receive a major rework
scal is also high on the unlikely
i think exo mechs rework should make them completely invisible
true
Prov I could see getting changes but nothing super major
The fight is terrible and the music isnât even from Calamity? I suppose that checks
I swear I heard provi was also on that list
like so invisible that they dont even show up in boss progression
or even the game files
đ
kinda funny its the only boss explicitly stated not to have any stated rework plans
I would still say Provi needs some kind of major changes but not like DS or anything
Also I will say its very unintentionally funny that provi, the boss with extremely blatant fire motifs, is just Ice Queen AI
if they change provi it should be visual
Provi needs like
Adjustments
And maybe eventually to drop the ice queen ai but thatâs future cal problems
all
I think dropping ice queen AI would break a lot of the fight actually
Yeah
provi needs to not spawn the ash globs
If you drop the vanilla AI thatâs just a rework at that point
That's the major thing
Even though it has vanilla ai providence is still pretty fun
Provi is so good as a boss fight
Guys, help me build Rehab here, spoilers are starting to affect me like a drug, no joke
Proviâs getting visual updates in SSO iirc
Ash globs and probably some better anti rungodding
If anything tge dumb bird should be re done
Even Infernum Provi uses the same movement, so yeah
both will
Isnât she already getting anti rungodding in Sso
Itâs strangely pretty much the best way for her to work
With semi predictive fireballs
"Ice queen ai" just means hovering around the player and swaying around. thats so broad
what
pretty sure provi has not changed besides visual
But idk
its not ai thats similar to ice queen it flat out just Is ice queen ai
reminds me I need to tone down the BH stars visuals
ice queen ai so generic tho
Not really
it really isnt
SSO is going to be different Calamity
Most of the bosses in calamity are all terraira bosses ai
Nothing else besides provi and ice queen act like that

Yeah, it does. 
when you remove literally every part of it that isnt sure
the Fabsol changes
like last year
she floats back and forth firing projectiles at you, stopping periodically to fire even more
this is ice queen behavior
like yeah movement ai is going to sound a whole lot more generic than it actually is when you strip it of all context and try your damndest to make it sound boring
like yeah sure prov has other things that make her different but her core is that of an ice queen
by that logic the wither is 3d ice queen
brother what
Provi is actually a slight reduction of Ice Queen AI because she doesnât have a slower hovering attack
that's true
floats around and fires projectiles
399 - Providence will now attempt to fire her holy and molten blasts far ahead of you, but only if you are moving in the same direction as her and she's ahead of you.
schizophrenia
hmm your boss spawns a projectile... damn pong (1972) ai clones
??
I think providence should fucking explode into nothingness.
396 - Providence's holy ray now gives slightly more space to avoid it because the new visuals made it a bit bigger. - Done â
397 - Providence's holy and molten blast projectiles now accelerate from a slow starting velocity to a fast max velocity. - Done â
398 - Providence's holy fire projectile velocity now scales up with difficulty (the holy fire projectiles created by the holy blasts do not do this). - Done â
Autocorrect
Problem solved.
concerned about the velocity changes given what they did to empress ngl
Guy who calls all action games adventureslop
Donât remind me of Cal EoL
Cal EoL
it was so good
Damn Eye of Lthulu
me after aple pie:
randomly skipping ahead in the pattern is actually a really fun idea
i forgot what eol meant for a sec is something wrong with me
Thereâs too many god damn acronyms in this game
Or Eater of Lorlds, I forget
ttpmhm
agreeable
Empress of cthulhu
If her vanilla pattern didnât include that one terrifying string in p2 that ends with sun dance
something something unique ai gif
And if Fabsol didnât inflate her speed in every respect because das what he does
(it had to be night provi cuz ice queen tries to run away during the day)
Wait, ice queen bobs up and down?
yes
both provi and ice queen bob up and down when they fly, just at different speeds
Oh true
the horrors
Is it a function of horizontal speed or smth?
no its unique to ice queen (and by extension, provi)
GYAAAAAAAHHHHHH
I'd say Provi kind of just jitters in place because of the speed
fabsol just copied ice queens movement ai and tweaked the numbers
âHey Fab I canât hit this boss at close range can you make her a little more merciful and less jerkyâ
âSure, Iâll make her less merciful and more jerkyâ
âWhat?â
seems like proviâs distance is more scripted on reaching its limits
rather than ice queen who drifts
i can still get where people come from
It would be easier to tell if you could show Ice Queen and day Provi at once
they both turn around at around the same distance
provi goes a bit further than my screen and ice queen is just at the border of my screen
and provi only goes that bit further because shes much bigger
honestly rereading the bountiful harvest changes and outside of the "Fuck you close range weapons" bullshit and the master mode changes the rest is like, pretty ok?
the projectiles not being able to hit you frame one is good, the dr during sun dance is whatever, phase 3 is... fine, I guess?
There being a p3 is aight yeah
The doctor during sun dance?
damage reduction
Sun dance DR is just weird to me
I genuinely like that she has the proper lance walls from Classic night EoL because that is an absolutely incomprehensible design choice in vanilla
?
sun dance dr makes sense from a conceptual standpoint because she is just standing there taking damage but at the same time sun dance doesnt last long enough for that to matter
You know how vanilla EoL p2 has the tight walls of lances that all aim at you to form an arc
yeah
Exclusively in Classic at night, they all aim in the same direction and are further apart, forming a broad wall that you actually have to weave through
Only the easiest version of the boss gets the only true weaving attack in the entire game
?????
???????????????
:worstbossindistortion:
Just WAIT until he gets his glowup
somehow retinazer is the most unique one out of the three here
Hrngh
i should do this with more bosses its fun to laugh at
wtf is 3dgifmaker02091
I'm guessing 3dgifmaker is the app/website used to make it and the rest is the number of the file
Oh right, pff-
Howâs that, Fab made a vanilla boss more interesting than the bosses that copy it
lucky
this hurts to look at
oh lol
dont really agree, scal still has more vareity since its not all the same projectile type
Anyways
cryogen really does use brain suckler ai
does it really
yea i just spawned in a deadly sphere and its moving towards me the exact same way
ye it's just the movement

the health bar is the deadly sphere u cant see it most the time
Oh god, this one is horrific
"Hey fab your calamity mod sucks fix it"
"Sure,ill make jerky"
what the fuck
how many phases does cryogen have
crabulon expert mode ai
like 6 or whatever
like 8
looking back on desert scourge and cal clone i agree
i know SOMEONE does
As it turns out, there's a lot you can do in 3dgifmaker, and...meshing an image onto a rotating human head is one of them-
someone does what
makes me all the more glad that the current team is fully aware of that fact
idk how but i found ds enjoyable in my first playthough
It's the dark souls effect
I canât wait for every boss to get more unique ai
early phm bosses really don't need to be all grandiose
i wonder if phase 2 and beyond is copied
probably cause being undergeared just does that
ds is one of the better fights in cal yeah
ds being a basic worm boss can be excused cause yeah
I kind of like the look of Crabulon's mouth overlaying the nose, though, it's neat
i mean king slime and eoc arent very advanced either
It's gonna be a lizard now at least
deerclops isnt advanced but at least its fucking fun
vanilla expert eoc at least is perfectly fine
oh for sure
honestly I think its better at being a first boss than nautilus was
just because they're early in the mod doesn't mean the ai can't be more complex
Is the new update close to releasing?
no
we dont know
Also honestly, while it can be excused, I think it's still worth noting that there's a whole lot of worm bosses in the mod as it is, and the lot of them aren't...particularly unique in how they move
i think i've seen more people asking when the update is coming in the last week than i have in the last few months lol
i mean yeah
There are ways to make them unique, they just aren't
Calamity's Deadly Cube ig
probably from the mura video
Dokuro is assuredly the only reason Calamity ever blew up
that is something we do plan on addressing 
but ds staying as a basic worm boss would be the least egregious thing
this + its winter break soon for a lot of people
compared to something like DoG or deus
I think Iâd also be in an utterly terrible mental state if I were him!
Hell yeah
trueâŚ
the worms will indeed be made less boring as time goes on
yeah
Well im just wondering because I knew there was one coming so I just wanted to know if ill have enought time to do a playthrough before it drops
Lizard scourge
i think its also a case of the mod fashion back then being more quantity over quality
people liked mods that did a lot
i really don't think that's true
honestly it should be a little slower

the music slaps and 100% helped a lot but i don't think it was the sole factor
oh yea the best mods nowadays are definitely the mods that have less content that is overall higher quality
Okay not literally the only reason
I need to stop saying things that way
wotg is a perfect example
dokuro's music + a pretty fresh experience at the time = popularity
FABLES!!!!
and that popularity stuck around and just kept growing
honestly this is one of my biggest issues with fables thinking about it more
the bosses are fun but by both being as complex as they are and also trying to insert itself into vanilla progression the fights just feel out of place
very similar to my main problem with starlight river tbh
what even is the image you used for this?
calamity was the only mod back then that had that big of a scope + a custom ost
Oh! What a funky little critter
creature
just look at crabulon there and youâll be hooked with its progress
dokuro wasnt the only reason played calamity ofc but like. those millions of views are there for a reason
basically anything lucille makes
hehe
the good old iban town slugs
Matey, my server name is Sir Nautilus
I know about Fables
yes oh my god yes
this is why i keep saying phm bosses are very important to not be crazy over the top ! !
i mean in general, wasnât directing it to you
And yet I donât really think Fables bosses have this problem
do that in hm and especially pml and it's all gucci but my god phm is to ease a player into the experience
you are sir nautilus
...
ultra duper hardmode
Bias or whatever, but take Nautie as an example. His attacks are generally simple and clear-cut and ask you to just make one specific movement
I think we'll see a good example of proper progression when fargos DLC fully releases
I think fables did handle it better than river (river bosses felt blatently overtuned for when you're meant to fight them when I played it) but idk
I think we'll see a good example of proper progression when roots releases
biased much
Not at all
I think proper progression will be seen once stargod releases
Amen
To be clear here I really donât like SLR either
But maybe not for this Exact reason
slr feels like a lot of cool ideas that are not nearly fleshed out enough yet simultaniously bloated
you keep saying that
I still do need to
i was playing spooky mod and i think its pre-hardmode progression is pretty good
Early content can look nice and be a little mechanically complex as a treat, but SLR bosses are like
fables DS being such a big deal to the community has always felt weird to me
Iirc Fables Crabulon is kind of like Deerclops, but a bit more complex, with smoke shrooms, and without the shadow hands
why is it a big deal
Bro this boss is a squid thrusting its tentacle at me why does that come with literal airport runway signage for a telegraph
it's a good boss but like... from everything I've seen it doesn't seem that different than what's come before
Y'know, I think you guys should tease Crabulon's new design by meshing it to a rotating head

there's multiple parts involved in why, I think
it's really don't
like, community members making it such a big deal on release
Well the difference is execution and polish
1: it was calamity but without fab
I remember fables ds having
really weirdly subtle tells for being around eye tier
fabless
I think Crab is a much bigger deal than DS tbh I've only seen Crab mentions
Its behavior actually characterizes it as a dangerous predator that stalks and eats you and so forth
at least on other platforms

Hehehe
fables crab is pretty impressive, definitely has more of an identity compared to other pre-hardmode bosses in other mods
vro đ
3d jif maker
all i know of ds is itâs more âstarvedâ based, vomiting out ooze and trash and whatnot
probably in sickness
and the uhh
that lightning ball
fables DS does do the visuals and all that incredibly well
sounds accurate
fables visuals are all super great
Fables bosses are good, even if not the best. I like good bosses, I rarely pay attention to what's the best as long as I enjoy them and there are no clear flaws
visuals can do a lot for something that's ultimately pretty simple
CD can attest bendy scourge is peak
hopefully fables turns down on the worms, or at least make them unique
penultimate pre hm boss btw
funniest bloopers of my life from bendy scourge
shoutout to the barcode lizard until like a couple nights ago
Tsuki lmao
im going to remove your embed perms
don't show SG đ
Literally yesterday barcode
the horror...
truly a god
early hardmode miniboss đ¨
thank you jasper for unbarcoding the lizard
đĽ
just a reminder that slime gods "rework" wouldve kept this ai in its phase 2 (literally as soon as they split)
man
god i will never understand this
SG's story is so sad
Wait nooooooo...
from one of the greats to the absolute bottom tier
like why the fuck would you even give them new designs if you're just gonna make the same fucking boss for the second half
âšď¸
đ
Y'know, I was wondering this too-
fabsolian boss design moment
What rework
Like, the fabsolian one or something?
And I was especially wondering why you'd just make them worse in phase two
devourer of gods
yes the one that used to be planned for sso
yes
hi i dont know what the conversation is about but i heard sir nautilus mention and i just wanted to say sir nautilus is the most fun ive ever had with a terraria boss and this is coming from someone who actually finds terraria combat to be kind of boring alot of the time
thats my input hi im cheese
i gave my input
Thatâs not enough, throw a Flocko in it
ok bye back to the mines
bye chose
bye have fun
orios painstakingly turning it into regular pixel art over the course of 40 days and 40 nights:
Quite true!
What the fuc
hi calamity update talk channel
greetings
Are they being reworked again?
I never figured out how to dodge his attacks I just tanked it and killed him
what the fuck is flo- OH MY GOD ITS THE SLIME GOD AI
he's like fine I guess
you are cheese
YEAH!
wait lynel do you perhaps know what cryogens phase 2 and 4 uses
Wha
this part
eventually
SKELETRON PRIME!
WHAT
yeah
what the fuck is a flocko
HUH???
its just fucking prime again
Angry snowflake things in the frost moon
oh they have a name?
yea
Uhh, yes??
never noticed
probably cause they're kinda forgettable
(you can tell because it rapidly accelerates if you go above it)
(I had the displeasure of finding this out when using medusa head)
no because they die so fast you forget they exist
pumpkin moon any day
calamity update malk
oh true
And the immediate violent jerk when turning around
flockos die extremely fast and they also only spawn on like 3 waves it hink
true
anyway boss talk had me having opinions
I hate all bosses that stay away at a set distance, magnetized to the player
i love how its all relatively early bosses in the game and then 2 post ml bosses
(in the free tier i mean)
Polter is pretty free
I am a true melee main in every game that I can possibly be and I HATE. HATE. HATE. Let me tell you how much Iâve come to hate since I began t
polter is singlehandedly the easiest boss in calamity
to put it simply, the issues that people are likely having with bosses rn will be addressed in future updates as time goes on
signus is such a nothing boss i melted it instantly
Signus easier than Polter
signus doesnt count as a boss so dont erm ackshually me that
tupid
đĽ

the DoG rework that's upcoming is a good bit harder (in a good way) than current release DoG
I donât even know what Signus does I just run from left to right
mana wires
corite ai
And then he dies
Corite ai
I don't even know what the fuck is Corite but ok
wtf is a corite
Corite AI
2.1 DoG will be easier because you wonât lose your attention from how boring he is and get hit by the head
solar pillar enemy
"alright let me automatically just say that this list is terrible and- uhh hm hollup maybe not entirely wrong"
Corite AI
Solar ebemy ball thing iirc
solar pillar enemy
corite is the dashing enemies in solar pillar
Kirite AI
such a truthful statement
odious warprime ai
WHY IS SOLAR TABLET LOCKED I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU
L
a boss that puts you to sleep so that you lose
4d chess difficulty
that's a tough boss
Calamity dog when i stand still unless i need to move and make the fight anticlimactic as fuck
ngl
Tsuki, can you find out what AI is used for Signusâs other two attacks
We know the dive is corite but what of the rest
boss that just kills you irl
there really should be a terraria yiazmat boss
2 hour boss fight whose main challenge is staying awake while running the motions
I feel like one is litterally just nebula floater but that could be coincidence
Wait, try Deadly Sphere again
oh he's way more aggressive dw LOL
no
i think the head should be an ohko but only during one attack
it'll still hit hard but not THAT hard
đĽ
make it well telegraphed
there is a very good chance that this is someones first introduction to post ml bosses
fair ohkos are fine imo
i want it to ohko...
Was fighting current DoG last night and realized how easy it is if you just maneuver wel, and most of the difficulty comes from trying to make it more engaging and not boring lol
dont have it ohko all the time cause that just sucks
it gave me free mod points to nuke people that were being pissy about it in cmt back in the day
đ
In malice head does a good 2k damage or so
survivable
i will steal all your mod points
not as aggressive as infernum dog but he's way more aggressive than current dog
legendary rev
Welcome back release-infernum DoG
yeah

mall ice
it's just legendary + calamity difficulty
In what sense, I'm curious?
isn't ftw what scales the world from master to legendary
im just glad he's gone
?
yes
at least the mod can have a future now
true
but expert in a ftw world becomes master
so on ftw the choices are not rev / death, it's death/malice
I've just checked the future doc, will sea glass scales replace sea prisms or nah?
malice isn't a serious difficulty thankfully
FTW DoG is so funny
no
funny shits and giggles bullshit mode
you need to post a video of the original ftw dog one day
he added malice because "people" (like miniscule amount) were "complaining" the mod was "too easy" so he giga overtuned every single boss without much care or playtesting
Did you said Serious?
WAAAR
one day
and now because there was a difficulty above death everyone in the future went "omg wheres malice it was good difficulty"
1.5 delayed by 2 months to add the worst mode ever đĽ
dog with 3x speed and predictive everything is very funny
that sounds like malice design damn im impressed
dude unnerfed death mode DoG was actually kind of terrifying
that one attack unnerfed was uhhh
something
isn't OD one of the (very) few current bosses that uses a predictive attack
yes
idfk i havent played it enough lmao
i'm really excited for people to see that new DoG attack for themselves
ah
its so fucking cool to dodge but its so scary the first time you see it
I can't wait to see first reaction videos to new dog
especially on death
đ¨
OMG!!! IMPOSSIBLE HARDEST BOSS IN TERRARIA!!!
new DoG is hard but its a ton of fun
no we all know malice sucked ass
fuc did you do đ
Okay
Also, why are there ideas to kill scoria bars
And why is perennial gems referred to as both jade and life jewel?
Important announcement! Make yourself some warm tea right now, adding a spoonful of honey and a slice of lemon if possible.
And back to the topic
Death mode player gets humbled by the modeâs first actually difficult boss in 5 years â¤ď¸
real
first difficult boss 1 decade
you would be surprised at the sheer amount of people that thought/think it's good
new malice is probably also going to suck ass because lets be real it has the name and its ftw all the cards are stacked against it
Ohhhh yeah- that's a fair enough point, then
i'm also very excited for people to experience new rev+ brain of cthulhu
i had to hold myself back of going ballistic at calling them idiots
i fuckin love BoC it's in my top 5 fav bosses
because ong... some people just dont have brains..
brain not ass finally
OH YEAH THAT TOO
I FUCKING WISH
might be my single most anticipated thing
interesting...
we finally addressed that after literal fucking years
yeah its a fargos soul mod arena now
I need to see it now
Crab, Brain, Dest, and Prime:
Also yeah, sadly...there's a lot of people like Fab who thought beating your head against a wall for multiple hours to make progress in a game is fun and a product of good game design
Fargo's Souls wish they had this amount of arena aura tbh
People who ask for Geldon back cause they think itâs the same as Catalyst
Weâre working on it,,,.,
both Scal and Cal Clone
which is uhhh 1. EoC, 2. SkelePrime, 3. Skeletron, 4. The Twins, 5. BoC
Weâre working on quite literally everything but yeah
omg guh
you won't succeed but I can't tell you why because it would spoil it
clone is w/e...
fuc u
nobody cares about clo- zzz... zzz...
đ
Modding in a nutshell
Well itâs not a competition either
Okay but these are just BS not hard, huge difference 
clone with an arena actually changes the fight a good bit surprisingly
true!
i will have to see to believe
Part of why I appreciate Malice being exclusively set to the "bullshit difficulty corner", considering that it sounds exactly like the kind of stuff you'd expect to see in GetFixedBoi
i mean thats understandable because of how long its been gone and how synonymous catalyst geldon is with geldon in general
@flat rose this true?
The advantage scal arena has is not really replicatable elsewhere and also hard carries
i am one of the people that thought it was a very poor decision from fab's part to add mfin bullet hell phases to clone
oh clone has an arena now?
probably still free bc mid hardmode but neat
I'm sure it'll be outdone otherwise
It's way more fun at least
oh yea are my new cal clone sounds on the main branch btw doze?
The one brother that shoots a single fireball actually does something now because I made it bounce on walls
i still need to hear them ingame for myself
I find Eternity Calclone to be more challenging rather than a couple bullethells
I don't remember
I think so?
cinema
eternity is a different thing
ik im just saying
i'm still playing on the brain rework branch lol
Hi nEin
ohh I can finally go finish stratus today too
hello
now that the one bug was fixed
Whoops no CalClone tests
i have audacity open rn you won't get anything interesting lol
context is clone in a box anyway
đ
boxkill
i'm recording the new death sound for BoC
actually
heard it's the same
oh sweet
1:13 brimmy DANG!!!!!!!!!
I can't really answer that
what...
you'll see why
Brimmy doesn't punish you all that much for getting close up
Wait, is the thing that was changed a secret?
well I mean you said it can shrink
or changing rather
Unheard of at this tier
dest:
Destroyer coil 
oh does the arena size change depending on the part of the fight
also queen slime but shh
I can't answer that you'll just have to see
I won't spoil anything about scal arena besides it's peak
and Aquatic Scourge, if you just stay away from the front
Unfortunately QS is fake
ehhh
teeth hurt
It fires in a pattern
Actually, could I ask something real quick?
sure but no guarantees it'll be answered
yeah but said pattern is pretty rapid
I've heard some different takes on this, so how do you personally feel about there being a lot of stuff in development that you can't talk about yet?
I love this smiley face
I don't mind it
Fair enough!
it mostly sucks when the update takes eons to come out
yeppa
if cal took like 3-6 months per update I would probably keep spoilers minimal
since people can just play it soon
but currently they are Not That
Ah yeah, understandable
I'm pretty excited for what's to come with post-SSO development, given that
Dia Brimstone Elemental...
I'm so excited for stuff to actually get into players hands
guys i cant tell what boss does ravager copy from i need some help here 
I'm very eager to see what stuff people do with especially the more complex items like the stratus set
king slime
true
Yharim duh
what if instead of Wall of Flesh we have Wall of Steel
btw phase 2 is just biome mimics special jump being repeatedly used
yes
phase 2 is actually really almost good
solid pillars and unkillable head would make phase 2 gold
I love how these videos freeze for a second or two at the end
What if
Hear me out
We have wall of shadow 
thats me alt tabbing
Background wall of wood
Anyway thanks y'all for reminding me I need to get spoilering
YES
idk wat other funny copycats there are,,,,
hongrey
the great famine
yo?
so that's what you were talking about yesterday
but it moves upward in the abyss
Or wall of bronze 
classic
mod of redemption green man?
I see the channel name changed, good change imo
they even have similar sprites
Oh you do sound design now huh
Good to take that weight off of Moonburn
Moonburn busy?
if you nerfed polter down to plants damage and hp polter would be a reasonable post mechs boss
You
Just understandably hasnât wanted to help Calamity with much for a while now
hell even if you didnt polter would still be a decently reasonable post mechs boss
I see
WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO ME
probably why haven't seen Moonburn talking in here too, since last time
EVERYTHING
i've been doing a bit over the past few months
Crazy that Plantera is more engaging
(source, killed polter at post mechs, twice)
mainly for brain, cal clone and desert scourge
biggest challenge is avoiding dying of boredom over the 40 minute fight
I remember them talking about getting asked âHey can you make new sounds for the new Rev Planteraâ and they were like âWhat? Thereâs nothing cool or interesting here to deserve a cool or interesting sound, who caresâ
signus summoning the power of a common solar pillar enemy to dash at you:
Iâd say vanilla sounds suffice for altered content thatâs not extremely different from the vanilla form
rev+ brain has a fair few new sounds
Signus has been... interesting
For a very long time now
Yeah thatâs a good case
I remember hearing it was getting reworked in 1.5 but that never came to light
I like to imagine the little sound at the beginning was me sending the sphere to you
thats one way of putting it
I have been playing this mod for over 6 years now and I dont think signus has recieved a single meaningful change in that time
100 years of corite signus
I'm not one to shit on Calamity bosses for being "too vanilla" but I honestly can't think of one change Signus has gotten since I started playing
Every other boss has been changed significantly since
crabulon
they're too vanilla because they're just vanilla ai
And I've been playing for like, 4-5 years
Crabulon is perfect and can do no wrong
signus is one that we 100% will give a big rework along the line
Crabulon's mushroom patterns used to be boring, it's been reworked now
Crabulon got the walls changed which is pretty significant (and good)
he's one i've had some cool ideas for
says someone who clearly hasnt seen fables crab
....oh god I've been playing this mod for over 6 years
fuck
L
outside of literally just direct upgrades to bosses like sprime and dest vanilla doesnt go around reusing ai that often
I have, the only problem is that it's missing something...
like i'm imagining soul tyrant from hollow knight + the roaring knight from deltarune for signus
I made Signus harder for 2?1
Itâs okay Iâm old too
In the same timeframe we got 2.0.4 Death Crab
(lamps actually exist now)
Hideous
lemme guess the theme
Hold on let me see if I can find the thing
I mean it was like 1.75 years after but sure
i will just use nuclear fury
Okay
Just pleasepleaseplease donât get Signus to literally trace their attacks like a good deal of other âinspirationsâ in this mod
3 hits is a lot less than it seems
I should make them delete stuff like old Sepulcher
If you didnât mean anything like that, apologies
If you go back to a like 1.2.4 death mode playthrough from like 2018
it's 3x as many as they took before
Every boss looks notably slower and less interesting than today except for Signus who looks identical
Canât improve perfection
i think dog looks more interesting than today back then
DoG today is fine
I don't get the hate for it
It's a little boring but it's not awful
i think dog has negative values of interesting
DoG was most interesting when it spawned as a nebula pillar enemy
Aha!
Truly
đĽ
now that's old, old lore for DoG
perfection
that's like, version 1.0
what?
bisexual lighting Crabulon 
trans crabulon
no thats not bisexual lighting and im pretty sure also not transbulon
i could be wrong though
Funny enough, it is in fact transbulon
Crabulon -> Crabulass
I don't know how I got it to look like that, but it's neat I think
as soon as im able to, i shall rectify this
genuinely disgusted whenever i fight current dog its just so poorly made in so many ways
kiri has been murdered by 
Stay safe Kiri
that one fucking strand of grey hair is still on my head after 1 month am I actually safe
Good lord, I think itâs too powerful
It crashed my laptop and turned off my blue light filter
peak
đ
WHAT IS THAT
It was worth it for this result, though
it's great
actually what happened to amidiasposting
@rose laurel
did the mods finally get on that
Probably
I think there was a talk about how a lot of people found it kind of repetitive and annoying, and since then, it kind of died down
Or that
This is
That's fucked up...............
Y'know, there's one more thing I wanted to try, speaking of...I think you can upload gifs from the website back into itself
you can
3dgifmaker44098
?
there are no plans to kill scoria bars afaik
im gonna eat your next of kin
đ
homonculus of sin
oh dear
this is a corridor of sin
is this what this channel during peak amidiasposting felt like
can someone send me all the amidaspost images?
it's beautiful
...oh right...this gives me an idea
No true original amidias đ
i have tommorows another day but thats it
i love 3dgifmaker
as final as terraria's final updates
there will be more
True
amidas is immortal, it is undying
true
pray it does not take too hideous a form
Here's mine
wtf
there's so many amidias
amidii
Christ.
Heres soma mine
does anyone have the serpent amidas
WHY IS HE TEAL
lmfao
Hey @pulsar cobalt , I know it might be a bit early yet, but I got you a Christmas gift!
what the fuck
this is good
awful
side 5 here is the end of the hall
Oh shoot, I didn't know you could have different images for different walls
why would you ask this
I guess that's how you did the Amidias one
yeah
bonus amidiases that people may not have seen
For all of the reasons.
Okay genuinely, might wanna be careful if you have sensitive eyes (or maybe epilepsy)-
Maybe not epilepsy, but still, good lord
The halls of purgatory
Wait thats tsuki
@pulsar cobalt
WHAT THE FUCK
tsuki the lovecraftian horror
next time on #calamity-update-talk , we fully sacrifice tsuki to 3dgifmaker in hopes of a bountiful harvest
I just unveiled your true form as a Christmas present!
good grief
as of today retail is now in the next update
we have finally surpassed omega amidas in ways i never expected
add lootboxes and skins for weapons & bosses trust me it'll help the mod a lot.
with how crazed over amidasposting is idunno how nobody got this username before I could
Come to think of it, it's funny that all this traced back to a single emote that just happened to not have its name changed from the default file name
Whar
We literally have the user named sso here
In this server
As in, someone posted an emote earlier that was called 3dgifmaker something something, which is then how we found out about the website since that's just the default file name when you download something from there
The funny part is that they have sent zero messages since June 2024
jojo reference
John SSO did not show up to the SSO madness
THE TSUKI PRISM???
Not once did I ever piece together Folly was just Mothron ai oh my god thatâs absurd oh my god
I mean kudos to them making it
Work?
Idk not quite work but itâs not an awful boss
question: how do you make a good post ml boss
Errrrm obviously projectile spam
thats a trick question the answer is you just copy vanilla and buff their speed
Trueeee who needs distinct movement and attack patterns when you can have golem ai
Or twins ai
Or plantera ai
Or worm
Or worm
Or worm
or fishron
Add more true eye of ctuhulu lasers
or fishron
Or skeletron
move it to prehardmode
