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

[mazqaz]

According to him it was seeing how horrendously awful the CoC mods were.

Thats funny cause mods made CoC 10x enjoyable and more bearable to play.

 

[balitz Method]

All the mods I checked out were a mixed bag as you'd expect. Some of it really was that bad (I mean holy crap who thought that terrible prologue was a good idea) or just appealed to people who wanted to be able to kill everyone but other aspects would have been good additions to the game.

When will the minotaur content be added?

 

[stuffinabox]

According to him it was seeing how horrendously awful the CoC mods were. He doesn't do the coding by and large but he doesn't want a bunch of hacky content he doesn't approve of tacked onto things he made.

Then he should've just written a novel instead of writing CoC II or TiTS. It's kind of a tough love scenario. You open yourself up to that as soon as you publish and you know it. I don't know what else to say except you're welcome for TiTS and paid content being what it is if you want to talk about being spread too thin. It's obtuse for me to see them act in strange and often weird ways when dealing with things because it always seems like they're trying to go out of their way to satisfy some margin- It'd be better if they didn't, they'd get a lot more shit done.

Yeah it can really be felt.
On one hand there is Tits who give this giant "open world" feeling with dynamic scenes, many characters everywhere with each their different options, schedules, etc, adding this alive and ever changing side.
While on the other Coc2 feel a lot more linear and scripted.

Like there is a lot more chance for different people to have a similar playthrough in CoC than in Tits.

What is the point to block saving during important dungeons? Some of those have important one time decisions and contain boss fights, the inability to save when you enter the dungeon is annoying especially with the ones where you're forced to go without notice.

And by God is there a way to remove that shitty text notice everytime I load a save, does the dev really expect me to keep every save until they finally decide to make a major update. Just adding gold in a text edit makes that shitty pop up come up everytime.

Any hope on modding the game? It's certainly not impossible, as far as I can see it's just a javascript file that's most definitely editable. In fact, it's very easy to mod the text. It's just everything else that seems to be obnoxious as hell. In fact, I'd like to remove certain content which seems like it should be easy.

 

[claralover]

god damn, whens the next update? I'm eager to get to winter city or what ever its called.

 

[Duarchy]

Is it the case that people interested in men have had a draught of content and are now catching up and it's just that as it's all coming relatively close together it just feels like a deluge, or are there really quite a lot of dudes in this game? Got to admit, unless that monkey turns out to be a chick this update is a bit meh.

I love the Kiyoko plotline. Breed the fox.

A lot of the outright-rejected suggestions end up clashing so hard that they come off as "can you stop doing it the way you want to and do everything you can to cater to me? For free of course". Writers have a diva streak (and rightfully so, it's a lot of work and you get attached to things you create and if someone wants to tack on something you feel goes against the spirit of your work there's reason to be upset) by nature but Savin is usually open to inclusions and ideas if they're not asking for something he or the staff don't have any interest in doing - like pregnancy content for his characters or player centaur content - or for something he specifically forbade (most of which have a reasonable explanation).

If anyone on the CoC2 team comes off as completely up their own butt it's the Observer. Nevermind whether anyone thinks it's good or not, his content isn't even structured for a game where players can actually play with it. It's scripted from start to finish, disregards every type of player that he didn't envision, and developments don't even lead to quests and stuff, they lead to...more scripted scenes.

Take Garret. He's got several exposition-laden to the extreme follow-ups to his initial quest that let you know in the driest and bluntest terms that he's not getting on well with daddy and wants to get out of the house. In a game you'd think oh, this must be a trigger for a quest that continues his story! Maybe I can take him on a little adventure or find something for he and his dad to find common ground on.

Nada. It's one of several of his in-game novels that the player just...watches without reacting to or getting involved with.

On top of most of his content allowing for little to no room to approach it (at all, like all the passive Garret scenes that go nowhere, or just in any way that isn't how he intended for it to go as you can see with Kiyoko - how would she deal with the situation if person who picked up her amulet was female? You'll never know because the content shuts down if you try to do it that way) he also insists on all of it being hetero-only for an audience that likes and expect to see a broad range of het and homo and bi content - or at the very least prefers futas, traps, and so on to be acknowledged. And unlike Savin who generally allows other people to write scenes for his characters he won't let other people write scenes for his characters period. That's how someone who's -really- so anal and controlling that any suggestion inherently goes against their V I S I O N acts.

my dude it is literally a text porn game with weeb shit in it. the writers aren't exactly known for their amazing fiction and the vast majority of them probably haven't fucked ever in their lives. you're expecting too much in terms of quality.

and i definitely do agree with you on the observer. who the fuck thought garett was a good idea? he is just so, so, so fucking unnecessary. YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH HIM. i think the observer just wanted a self-inserty character to rant his own daddy issues through or something.

How much of that is just due to the fact that he is the primary writer for preg content? Can't really write homo preg stuff. Not to mention I don't think there's anything wrong at all with writing only straight content if you are straight. Straights are going to be 80% of your audience at least.

gamesave editor and save editor from this start post are not workable because the game always say corrupted file or cheater cheater cheater.

Its non official, but don't worry it won't mess up your game at least for me I had no issue with it unless I go over the limit in many things.

That pop up is just the devs way of saying fuck off with your issues if you don't keep every save since the begining or when we finally decide to make a major update.

My real point there was that Savin's not as uptight as people make him out to be. If he rejects your idea it'll be because you want him or someone to cater to you without paying or because it's half-baked or hard to implement. When people make decent suggestions and are willing to write them he's pretty open to it.

I probably picked on him too much but the idea was to show that there's someone on the CoC2 staff who absolutely is as anal and self-important as Savin's always made out to be and when you stack them up you can see what an overly controlling author who thinks their mediocre content should never be touched by the filthy hands of a lesser being looks like.

 

[loldier4]

The problem I see with Observer is that he specifically wrote Kinu to spite people and wrote it so that you can't avoid her if you want Kiyoko. Which seems incredibly petty and short-sighted.
