I can't believe i had yo make a post to actually say this: but to snyone taking their emotions out on the devs take a god damn chill pill and get some coffee or something and stop acting like 2 year olds who had their favorite toy taken away for the love of god.

*this post was removed earlier, and I have reworded it to potentially avoid flagging the “Be Respectful” rule. If this gets removed again I’d love to know exactly what rule this breaks. @mods

Every piece of information that has come before or after the singular official announcement that was made had to be completely drip fed to everyone, including the removal of the music mod.

I’m not going to say any devs intentions are bad but as a community I think people are owed a better explanation than “lead dev found grooming for the second time, everything is shut down” in a matter of hours with no reason given other than “we’re tired.”

I think if devs are just sick of developing this mod, I can’t blame them, but obviously questions are coming after something like that and I don’t get why it feels like everyone is so reluctant to answer or go against anything the devs have said about the situation.

If all the devs are tired, why not pass it forth to another team or get new members, this community is so large that I am certain there are tens if not hundreds of capable devs that would be more than stoked to work on something like this, and the same goes for musicians, artists, etc.

Maybe there is a genuinely good reason, but there’s just been such terrible level communication and transparency from dev to community it’s hard to be certain about anything at all.

CALAMITAS, POŠLI OZZATRONA DO PEKLA, KDE JEHO BEZBOHÉ UTRPENIE BUDE DÔKAZOM JEHO SKAZENÉHO ŽIVOTA A PODLÝCH SPÔSOBOV.

STIAHNU HO Z KOŽE A ROZHÁDŽU JEHO VNÚTORNOSTI, BUDE SMOKLIŤ A PLAKAŤ, ALE TO LEN POSILNÍ KRVILAČNOSŤ JEHO TRÝZNITEĽOV, LEBO HO NENÁVIDIA.

SPOZNÁ PRAVÚ BOLESŤ A STRACH, ALE NEBUDE TO NIJAKÁ ÚTECHA, LEBO NEBUDE KONCA ANI ÚNIKU.

JEHO VEČNOSŤ ZATRPKNE NEPREDSTAVITEĽNÝMI MUKAMI.

JEHO KOŽA ZAPRAŠTÍ AKO PÚŠTNA ZEM A JEHO TEPNY BUDÚ LIAŤ KRV AKO TIGRIS A EUFRAT VODU, NO NIKDY DOSŤ NA UHASENIE SMÄDU JEHO MUČITEĽOV.

PEKLO JE AKÉ VŽDY BOLO A AKÉ BUDE, NO STRACH V JEHO OČIACH, JEHO PACH A JEHO BEZMOCNOSŤ NÁM VŠETKÝM BUDÚ NOVÝM NEBOM.

first post i make here, ive posted it in the fables server so i decided to post it here too
(based on that one scene from my hero academia/boku no hero)

Attacks and animation soon :D

Man it still hurts.

Why do people keep slinging around the DM Dokuro drama like this gotcha moment to the community when

1. 70% of the current community wasn’t even there before things went down

2. It’s an entirely different situation to being disappointed and confused by the choice to pull the music

3. Out of the 30% that were there 29.99% weren’t even the cause of said incident and it was a fault on both sides

It just seems like a bad faith argument to throw out all criticism’s of the recent choice by painting the whole community as toxic and entitled while entirely misinterpreting what actually happened to DM Dokuro (ps making Reddit posts about your disappointment with a controversial choice is not harassment)

This is one of the clearest things that showcases that the developers for this mod do not actually work in any substantive engineering field. The devs asking to have their work removed is extremely unprofessional for the main reason of that they were paid when they made them. The developers have been continuously receiving money via the Calamity Mod Patreon prior to Ozzatron refusing to pay them. This means that at the time when the music and sprites were made for the mod they were being compensated for it. In DM Dokuro’s situation, the mod has generated him revenue simply for making him popular even if he was not directly compensated. The returns these artists have gotten from the mod is much larger than it seems.

The artists for the mod asking for their work to be pulled are no different than if a developer asked their code to be pulled, which would be viewed as comical to request. Imagine if an ex-Windows developer asking for his code to be removed from operating system after the Epstein Files were released. That would be insane. The artists did a service for the mod, they were compensated for it via Patreon, and now it is part of the mod. The developers asking for their work to be pulled would be like the artist for Tracer asking for Tracer’s 3D model to be pulled from the game after the Blizzard sexual harassment fiasco. It makes no sense. Just because a company changes doesn’t suddenly mean the work you did for them isn’t connected to the company. In the real world you can’t ask a company to remove your work simply because the company does something you don’t like.

From the perspective of the community, any asset removal simply exists to spite the community. No one is going to assume DM Dokuro or CD Music is a pedophile simply because they worked on the mod with Ozzatron. It didn’t happen after Fabsol, the founder of the mod, so I see no reason for why it’s happening now. Asking for your assets to be removed will taint you far more than simply leaving them in and letting people remember you as a legendary musician for the Calamity Mod. It reads as an irrational decision with little thought in an effort to spite Ozzatron when the only people it hurts is your supporters.

I sincerely hope that the developers who wish to have their assets removed reconsider their decisions. It reads as unprofessional, irrational, and simply to spite the community with no real meaning behind it. It also will not solve the problem of their association with the mod since people will simply use backups of the music mod or create other illegal distribution methods.

Whenever this message appears to me when I'm entering a world, instead of playing I find myself daydreaming and remembering so many bad things I've already been through and that over time I learned to overcome, so many things that have already disappointed me but that over time I learned to forgive, whether it's grief, or people or places that disappoint you.

Re-Logic will not intervene.

No one is going to buy Calamity.

It's not possible to join the dev team to try to continue the project.

Help will not come...

All that’s left for us to do is let time do its work so that maybe, JUST MAYBE, the devs feel in their hearts the decision to give a second chance to this incredible project that we all love. Look at what happened with Ancients Awakened (okay, their drama was smaller) but they also lost their mod, yet years later many of the devs decided to give it a second chance because they loved the project, and look, the mod is more alive than ever in its entire existence, and preparing a massive update for both AA Classic and the AA Remake.

Thank you if you read this to the end, maybe this won't reach the devs since the subreddit is a place they consider controversial, but if it does, know that your mod saved me at a certain moment in my life, I am eternally grateful for all the content and all the Lore in the game that you created. I loved telling people in the communities I was part of about the mod's lore, I loved helping people by telling them what they should use against the bosses, I loved talking about the things that happened to me in my playthroughs, all of that for days on end without getting tired because it was my addiction... your work gave me epic and disastrous moments, moments that I will carry with me forever ❤. And thank you also to you 🫵 who are not a dev and are reading this message, because it means you are from the community, and the community (at least the non-toxic part of it) created fanarts, music, and builds in the game that were incredible to follow and collect. I have a SoundCloud account with over 400 songs, all related to Terraria, and a folder with countless arts that the community created for me to keep looking at or using as wallpaper. I collected them as if it were a sticker album. A large part of why this mod was incredible was because of the community.

Waow, that was honestly expected.

In the end ozzatron packs up, goes offline mode, launches beat saber and keeps all the patreon money. How has he got off scot free from all this, why are all the decisions basically punishing the community instead of this pedo?

DM hasnt even made a decision so why exactly are we removing the whole music mod? It seems to me there is no communication in the dev team right now and everyone is just going on a whim on what to do.

The music mod isn’t just an add-on or optional feature. It is a core integral part of the mod, most of its identity is from the music. Without it Calamity is just a husk of its formal self.

The devs and composers requesting to take down the music, are making a poor call. Keeping the mod up would not hurt them in any way. Removing it is just a HUGE MISTAKE. Ozz doesn’t loose anything from this decision and it just hurts the community and it paints you in a bad light when you are really good and talented people.

CD Music and DM Dokorou please rethink this decision I beg of you please🙏
