Others Corruption of Champions II [v0.7.27] [Savin/Salamander Studios]

[j_ericson]

The whole Einin situation is a mess.

On one hand, William has been working on her for years and it's his own fault for putting meat on before the skeleton was done and the deadline has existed and made known to the public months ago.

On the other, however, William said that he wasn't never made aware of a deadline which I'm not sure I entirely buy. Either he missed every single time it was mentioned in discord or he thoght he would be expemt because the point of the deadline was to make it so the writer and coders don't have to go back through the whole game and add new interactions where it would be needed, and on that point a bunch of stuff where Einin would have a role was already future proofed and the code references her.

Seems like there was a huge lack of communication between Will and Savin during this whole thing with both sides assuming that the other was aware of the whole situation and not bothering to confirm.

He has a Youtube channel???

I know it's stupid to start disliking content because of the actions of the creator or the fandom, but boy is this making it tempting to do so. Not only is most of his YT content low-effort but the fact that he's playing DnD, a TTRPG where it's mostly about giving the players a power fantasy, while also denying his own playerbase that enjoyment, is just grating. His channel reflects his own attitude towards his own game too: Low-effort, not much input, cruising by on the work already done for him.

The stuff on his YouTube and Twitch channel get next to no engagement. I do think it could be funny for him to go from nothing one day to all of his recent videos being dislike bombed the next and have him wonder what the fuck is happening, but at the end of the day, I don't think he's worth even the few seconds that would take.

Dislikes count the same as likes on YT, so you'd actually be doing him a favor.

Wait, Quin can die? Looks like I'm coming back to the game.

How did you not know that?

 

[actualrealname]

You and me both lol. Sorta getting nervous for the rest of the city, hope it's not all cowgirls and fat cait stuff. Would've been cool if Brint had a brother or uncle or something.

I think fat cait is very possibly the single dumbest thing they're planning on implementing (arguably the dumbest across all of their games), so there's at least the absolutely rampant shitposting it'll cause to look forward to.

They probably thought you could kill him off outside the "lmao no, fuck off cultist" option when you first meet him (which I believe is still one of the single highest corruption things in the game?).

Also pls post savin YT

Oh they gave a date? cool! honestly at this point i don't mind waiting since it only means even MORE content for me when they do finally release that.

Never bothered myself to do his sidequest.
Never appealed to me so I just ignored most of his stuff.

I meant his content for CoC2, lol. I'm not disgracing my YT account to give him a dislike there.

 

[stella9410]

Guys, is there any translator for the game?
Well, or mechanical, such as translation from Google right in the game, so as not to switch between the windows of the game and the translator.

Ehh? You think there are someone that, without any jokes or any humorous reason, actually WANTS translate this from fuckengllish to other language??

Correct me if I'm wrong since I'm not terribly familiar with the William issue, but couldn't Savin just boot him off the team? You said so yourself that William works under Fenoxo, not Savin. Unless it's clear that there's a hierarchy where Fenoxo has the authority to push people onto others, Savin, as project manager, should still be able to knock William off the team. It doesn't need to the termination of his employment, just get him to do anything else but CoC2.

Who says Savin needs to threaten William? Just because Savin isn't the main employer doesn't mean he doesn't have control over his team structure. We're talking about a 40k month game, not some small time community college theatre project where the director is forced to take on actors at the producers whim.

Like RenH also mentioned. William could just be moved to a different team or have control to throw him somewhere besides CoC2. Project management is the fine line between the bigger bucks people and workers. Savin as the midpoint who ensures the game is made in a timely fashion with quality standards set by him or Fenoxo or the stakeholders still bears responsibility of not letting the employees run rampant or produce little to no content.

William, Tobs, etc. could drag their feet and Savin would/should be on the chopping block if he can't get them working else they need to be fired or transferred under another project manager to take care of them.

Lmao you guys, I hope you're sitting down because I'm about to blow your mind.

William was never a part of the CoC2 team, he has always been a part of the TiTS team under Fenoxo (

You know, this really isn't the own you think it is. It's surprising and shocking, sure, but all this really does is make this whole thing seem even dumber than it already is. If anything this simply raises several questions like why on Earth would Savin even let someone who isn't even on his team, is unironically making the character as a side project, do so to begin with? I've always had a gut feeling that project management is going to be proper borked but holy hell.

Because William is a popular writer with a proven track record until now. Clearly he and like half the people in the past 5 pages of this thread thought he'd be able to do it.

 

[WazaQQXOXO]

Not really. How is Savin supposed to threaten to fire someone who doesn't even work for him?

Thing is, William was working on a project clearly associated with Savin's game: a competent manager is supposed to manage people working on the same game. Don't start advertising your work when it's obvious you have no idea where the project is going.

maybe this can help you...

Btw As of this posting as far as I can tell the max level of the game is 6. which means going to the rift or the undermountain (at least based on my studies of the game) is usually devastating.

While you can attempt to increase the variable "maxLevel" it will cause an error when the player character attempts to upgrade after sleeping.

It results in a bind error which I can only understand to mean that the level up "scenes" for levels 7, 8, 9, and 10 are not yet written.

however, you can "synthetically" increase your level by forcing the point allocations higher. This can be done by using one of the options below.
"pc.

=<somevalue here>"

these values do seem to have a limit of 25 (based on what's displayed on the character screen I don't know about internally) which prevents them from being a perfect fix. Also, be extremely careful if you mess with the values pre-level 6. This is because they will break the level-up screen by causing the remaining points to be a negative number.

Still, I hope this info helps with the enjoyment of the game.
