Just finished that Specter of the Wyld palace dungeon area. It was OK. But again, not a whole lot to it. At least when I went through it.
Unless I am missing something.

Oh yeah, it's some classic amateur author stuff lol. would not at all be surprised if the guy had a history writing fanfic previously, that sort of attitude is super reminiscent of fanfic drama to me.You gotta admit, it's pretty fucking funny. Give a man an echo chamber and money and he'll think he's Tolkien.
Dude, don't compare "finished" game + expansion mod to v0.3.19 game.One thing that drew me in to CoC 1 (picked up up when the mod had like... 500k follows/likes) was how full the world felt. Some parts smaller than others but each location felt decently to well filled. Dungeons were okay. CoCII despite some parts being fuller than others gives off a very empty feeling (I understand the game is only in 0.3.18). The Kitsune Den as the only location feeling as lively as CoC 1 did and realistically there isn't a whole lot content, but the way and interactions with characters makes it feel good enough.
And to each their own. If the game wasn't on Steam for sale you could say I would be more patient or wouldn't feel inclined to compare them, but since it is I don't see the harm in comparing them. Don't get me wrong, I understand the argument about not comparing an unfinished game to a [mostly] complete one (realistically COC1 and/or mod is/are still unfinished), but look at how long TiTS has been in development for and we're only in 0.8.115. I also understand that the dev team has changed and grown over the years too.Dude, don't compare "finished" game + expansion mod to v0.3.19 game.
Doesn't matter, Steam/Patreon same shit with their early access so you could compare that to any other unfinished crap on this site and outside of it, at least Steam is a little more honest.And to each their own.

Don't worry, nothing changed there. CoC1 was disorganized mess too, with development all over the place, where some areas had a ton of content while others were neglected for years.At the end of the day, I'm comparing story and content elements [...] development / design wise the areas where updates go are all over the place - disorganized.
That's irrelevant, shitty writers are shitty.Quoting user actualrealname post #2793, "I swear the writers completely forget that they're writing fetish porn, not some grand creative project."
Just read through that whole thread, and MAN am I disappointed in Savin and The Observer. Not only locking a purely discussion-based thread about the role and intent of a character and their development, but also shutting it down and locking it after trying to do a shitty mic drop saying,I wish I hadn't read that lmao. Whatever inkling of respect I had for The Observer (as a writer) went straight down the toilet. He just sounds so damn pretentious in his responses.
This is the reason why some of us moved away from that forum to this forum instead. They can't shut our discussion on this thread.Just read through that whole thread, and MAN am I disappointed in Savin and The Observer. Not only locking a purely discussion-based thread about the role and intent of a character and their development, but also shutting it down and locking it after trying to do a shitty mic drop saying,
Savin: "No, but he is writing for a game under my complete creative control and I've said it's fine. So deal with it."
What the fuck is that?
Do they not realize people are paying for this shit? Like, if your paying fanbase is expressing distaste for a chunk of content that populated the past like 5 major updates, maybe you should listen to some of that feedback, instead of just letting the one author be a primadonna about it.
I don't know, I get that it's their project and writing, but there's an inherent goal with these games to create an inclusive and sexual world for people to play out a character in. It feels incredibly wrong for any character to force a gender role on your PC, and I say this as someone who likes to play masculine and male characters at times. It's probably just really jarring for a lot of people who are comfortable with the way the CoC world operates, to suddenly have that turned on its head.
And it's not like this is content that can't be ignored, but people were paying for the game during this development, and for awhile it was the only section getting consistent substantial updates, and that's not cool.
I just don't like that they shut the discussion down the way Savin and The Observer did. Feels immature.

While I don't think they should listen to every and all feedback, the one in that thread about Tob's content feeling out of place and then the (spot-on) critique of Tob's up-his-own-ass explanation for why his content is the way it is, is feedback that shouldn't just be shut down.I just don't like that they shut the discussion down the way Savin and The Observer did.

It was fun and also it turns to angry lesbian sex later on.Wish Lusamine had more Gossip content, that way she could continue bashing on Cait.

I still enjoy it, wouldn't bother criticizing it if I thought it was completely irredeemable garbage not worth playing. It'd just join the illustrious recycle bin pile alongside the million other games that haven't been updated in a year or were made with rpg maker.Anyone able to put aside the team's shitty way of handling things and enjoy the game? Cause I don't think I can. From reading posts in the TiTS thread that the writing is all over the place in how the main char acts to now COC2 having writers who can't take legitimate criticism while acting like their writing is the greatest thing ever... not too sure if I want to play these games. I do want to see what I missed out on in that whole time.
Did she really just say "filthy kurva"? Do western Slavic languages even exist in this universe?Wish Lusamine had more Gossip content, that way she could continue bashing on Cait.

Nah, CoC2 is good. I don't really care about all the writers drama as long as it doesn't affect the game and so far the only part i really disliked was that kitsune wife (whatever her name was), part of new halloween event and kitsune den was a mixed bag, that amounts to really tiny part of the game overall.Anyone able to put aside the team's shitty way of handling things and enjoy the game?

I procrastinate on getting Brienne all the time, Kasyrra is the best waifu anyway so why bother?Though you would have to have objectively awful taste and likely be a bad person irl if you don't like Brienne.
That's actually from my screen, its small so screenshots with words in them makes things look a bit pixelatedIt was fun and also it turns to angry lesbian sex later on.
Whats with that font though? It makes my eyes bleed
honestly wouldn't be surprised, they do basically have japanese analogues with Kitsune's den. Would be great to meet some slavic monstersDid she really just say "filthy kurva"? Do western Slavic languages even exist in this universe?

As long as alcohol exist Slavs will exist.Did she really just say "filthy kurva"? Do western Slavic languages even exist in this universe?
I remember being really grossed out the first time I saw Savin blow up on somebody on the Fenoxo blog. I can't remember what it was over, but I remember it being something seemingly harmless, like, "When will x character get y content?" Savin said something he often says, "When you write it", the person replied that they don't have any interest in writing things, which is why they come to the site, and it's Savin's game anyway so he should be writing it, and Savin fucking eviscerated this guy, telling him to fuck off forever, as I've also seen him do many times since.I haven't played TiTS or COC2 in months, nearly a year at this point if I had to take a wild guess. With some free time I decided to see what I missed. TiTS always felt like a long read and I never fully got into the space setting. COC, for me, was king, so COC2 was the one I was excited for the most. In trying to find the latest version by skimming pages (been here long enough that OP's aren't updated all the time) I saw the shitshow link of The Observer. Man, that really sucks. Like, they definitely don't care that I won't play since I don't ever plan to financially support them (fen or others), they're doing much better than I am but I totally lost respect for them as writers.
