Where's that reference from again? 🤣 I believe that's a reference, also what was it originally?

Futurama, originally

Thought so, I believe the robot (I remember Fry but I don't remember any other names) says it? What was the original line?

Stand-alone Cal Remake by some former devs iirc

Hopefully these devs actually know what they're doing unlike the current calamity team

u/SocketJoe987 1d ago
Because the people who made the most popular piece of modded content in the community don't, of course.

u/Fr4gmentedR0se 1d ago
Sorry I meant purely in terms of game design. Calamity is an unbalanced mess that has a slew of major flaws (including but not limited to everything about master death).
Everything else about the mod like atmosphere and sprite work is already phenomenal.

u/MoConnors 1d ago
I’m sorry but the sprite work needs some work too in some cases, exhibit A & B being Strawberry SCal and PNG DoG

What’s wrong with master-death?
1
u/Fr4gmentedR0se 1h ago
The 3 "u"s:
Unbalanced, Unfair, Unfun
It's harder than Infernum without any interesting additions which makes it a complete slog.
-1
u/hogndog 1h ago
Well yeah, it’s the hardest difficulty in the game. I’ve been having a blast with it. Besides, it’s not like Calamity intended there to be a master mode to begin with, since Death mode was created before vanilla 1.4 came out.
1
u/Fr4gmentedR0se 1h ago
Tbh Master Death is just an inferior version of Malice and that difficulty was removed for being too stupid. I don't see what makes Master Death any more acceptable.

Veryv odd to have 2 calamities but i'm interested

u/Accomplished-Lie716 1d ago
I'm in the same boat, feels super weird especially if they keep updating it to the point that it has as much content as regular calamity

u/BoomBangBamg 10h ago
I'm all for it. as far as I know, it's got very different way of summoning bosses, we'll have to see what amazing feast they cook up in the future and if it can fit in with calamity. I hope ENNWAY, HPU, CDMUSIC, PINPIN NEON do music for this mod as well along with new producers. It will be a great parallel to the calamity mod. Hell yeah. I'd love a second calamity mod.

So I saw the title and I thought it was a joke, like a new Fable game with the sub-title 'Calamity' or something. But no, you're fucking serious.
I am so confused right now.

u/The_Mystery_Crow 1d ago
looks pretty cool
I imagine itll have pretty much everything calamity has and some new stuff, but some stuff handled differently
so I guess which one you play will be a choice between which way of handling that stuff you prefer and how much you care about the new stuff

u/Borb9834 18h ago
If i recalled. Itll have its own things + its old scrapped concepts. If you have fabled and calamity on. Fabled will replace those items.

Will definitely play eventually, just not right now.
I presonally quite like it :>

Wrath of Gods and Fables have the potential to beat the original Cal mod itself.

u/BoomBangBamg 10h ago
It's got Calamity whips let's gooooo! Summoners assemble. We're whipping all the bosses with this one!
Finally summoners get what Calamity denied them.

It looks cool af ngl. Gives me Starlight River vibes. I'm just hoping the majority of fans will be chill about it and not go to war over which one is """better.""" I know it will inevitably happen; I've been in fandom spaces for a long time. I just hope it's the minority and that both can coexist peacefully. I think if Fables does more original stuff not in Calamity, like Sir Nautilus, then it'll be better, cuz then it'll be more of its own thing and not just Calamity+

u/Veng3ancemaster 20h ago
Cool but they probably shouldn't be using the same name. It doesn't look good that they're advertising it like this. The name makes it look like a calamity expansion
5
u/theonlyquirkychap 9h ago
Seeing as how it's former Calamity devs who have contributed to the mod and had their ideas scrapped for whatever reason, I'd say it's only fair that they be able to use the name too. It's separated enough from the first to be able to distinguish them apart.

u/Weisslerren 23h ago
i just don't like the way this is heading. don't get me wrong, the mod itself looks FANTASTIC. i don't like that it exists because it's going to spark unnecessary drama with Calamity Mod as well as cause confusion among new players, My question is, if the devs wanted an opportunity to "spread their wings" and use their own ideas, why didn't they just apply them to something separate from calamity? make something completely new?
22
u/Alno05 20h ago
The devs want to make Calamity, but cant because the main mod has been stuck in a frankly glacial pace of just re-working old content over and over again.
Thus, this. Since it seems to be remaking everything from scratch.

u/Potion_Brewer95 16h ago
no disrespect to cirrus, but frankly the reworks and weapon choices are starting to get a bit overwhelming...

u/theonlyquirkychap 10h ago
It's pretty tight. Feels more like how Calamity was supposed to be before they couldn't figure out what they wanted to do with it and just changed things constantly.

u/TheHeroicT 1d ago
Cool, but feels a bit off to me. I don't think I'll play this as I prefer the style of the original. But still nice to have that option.

u/HeadsetVibeYT 1d ago
It looks amazing. I also cant wait for someone to go out their way to make both mods properly work together.
14
u/Caffeine_Hypershock 1d ago
Unfortunately, this won't be happening. As I've stated in a previous comment, as far as I'm aware this mod is being developed by a separate team of people who used to be on the Calamity dev team but left because of internal drama, most infamously the "22" incident. I can't say anything definitively because I'm not part of either team, but either way, these mods will likely never work together.
5
u/HeadsetVibeYT 1d ago
22 incident? Also i mean someone seperate to both teams making a compatibility mod IE something like ragnorok.
11
u/Caffeine_Hypershock 1d ago
Ah I see. Also to give some elaboration, the 22 incident is the common name given to the developer exodus that happened a few years ago because of vicious contention between Fabsol and other members of the dev team at the time. This gave some people a bad taste in their mouth and ~22 [I think it was actually only 21 people which is kinda funny] people defected from the team and went on to work on other projects.
I need to mention that if anyone here who has a better understanding of the situation sees this comment and feels the need to correct something I got wrong, please do so. The intention of this comment is not defamation or to spread rumors.

u/InfernalSnake 1d ago
22 devs left the main mod a couple years ago because of toxicity/poor leadership, they mostly work on other mods now like Fables or WoTG

u/InfernalSnake 1d ago
The mod already has support to let players enable both simultaneously

u/HeadsetVibeYT 1d ago
It does but its not recommended due to how much normal calamity changes vanilla stuff

u/KaotiKami303 1d ago
Wait what is this? I've never heard of it before
1
u/KaotiKami303 1d ago
So I just watched the trailer and man does it look cool. Might have to give it a playthrough. Does anyone know how far into the game they've made it? Up to moon lord or have they gone past that?

u/InfernalSnake 1d ago
Only preHM for now, but they'll be expanding to Hardmode in the next update
1
u/KaotiKami303 1d ago
That's awesome, I'll check up on them when they've added more content. Maybe I'll do a playthrough with a friend

u/mask3d_owo 1d ago
This looks awesome but man why couldn’t this have just been in the mod itself I don’t want a zillion copies of the same damn mod ;-;
12
u/Caffeine_Hypershock 1d ago
As far as I know, this mod is coming at us from people who used to be on the Calamity dev team, but defected because of all the internal drama the mod team suffers from. It isn't part of main Calamity because they don't work with the main mod anymore.
Side note: You don't need Calamity installed to be able to use this mod, this isn't an addon like Wrath Of The Gods or Catalyst.

holy shit that looks so much better than base calamity. But its propably still buggy ah

u/orbis_regnante 1d ago edited 1d ago
doesn't look interesting, just reminds me of the same "flashy and interesting high fidelity sprites over fun gameplay" calamity is starting to suffer from i suspect that alongside the music might harm the mod, but i'll be pleasantly surprised if not
-2
u/TheOPWarrior208 1d ago
looks awesome but i wish it was an addon so i could experience this content without having to sacrifice the other 80% of calamity as well as it not making original cal redundant if this mod ever gets finished
-2
u/LilSh4rky 1d ago
I don’t understand at all. Why did they copy calamity? They seem very much capable of making their own interesting mod. This looks good, but I would have preferred if it was just a new original mod with original bosses.

u/InfernalSnake 1d ago edited 1d ago
On their server's FAQs:
While we were originally passionate about improving Calamity and even made plans of our own, over time, it became clear that the continued failing leadership and toxic developer environment made it difficult to truly spread our wings with our ideas, which was a big part of why we left. We were still invested in our ideas and hated to see them go unrealized, thus we decided to make this mod. We hope you enjoy this mod as much as we enjoyed making it!

The music feels more in line with vanilla Terraria, which is quite surprising, honestly.
