Calamity is an extremely large and well-known mod everybody knows that. But why the hell dev team managing this whole project as like a school project? The most important rule I’ve ever seen in my life is this: if money is involved, no matter what the topic, project is, things always handled professionally and seriously.

Before anyone comes along and says 'This is a labor of love!' and 'This a passion project!', no, you people are wrong. Apparently, there are some dev members who support themselves solely on this project.

I don't know about you guys, but if my personal income (and even whether or not I'll end up homeless) depends on ONE MOD... I will be paranoid about everything. After all, this has become your 'job', you will not live with 'Sure nothing will be bad happen'.

In a situation like this, why would anyone works WITHOUT CONTRACTS OR ANY SAFETY MEASUREMENTS?? Like i can't understand this. Everything is go with word of trust and... That's it.

I can still write so many problems, but i highly doubt this post will be stay up.

First off i'm absolutely not saying the devs or musicians are at fault or blaming them for wanting them removed at the end of the day its their product and they have the final say, but I feel like if the mod just stayed frozen no content updates without the removals the fallout wouldn't so severe. The mod's progression was going nowhere for years. I understand there was the fabsol fallout and ozzychud being a piece of shit lead and they wanted to clean up fabsol's mess first but i feel like at one point we were fine at the state of the mod and just wanted to go forward for me atleast. I absolutely understand that development takes time for sprites, design, coding and stuff as well as maintenance for tmod but there was no way there wasn't period of time where the mod couldn't just progress forward instead of reworking everything. Just my thoughts feel free to agree or disagree.

So, let me elaborate using a table analogy. You've made a wooden table. It looks good and it's almost ready. All you need to do is sand out rough edges and apply varnish so the person using this table won't get any splinters. Now, as the sanding is done you can start coating. But wait, what is this? You see that you may not have smoothed the edge enough and you get back to sanding. You could have asked another person to see whether this part is rough or not, as you've been working for so long that you can't tell yourself, but you refuse. So, you keep grinding and suddenly you're struck with realization that the corner of the table is now round. What do you do next? You decide to sand out other corners of the said table but you just can't get them right. After a while, you notice that the entire corner of the table is missing and the only things you can do is either shorten the table or just start all over again. Mind you, the client is still waiting for the table. Eventually, you give up, tell the client that: "hey, I may have messed up, but check out this cool table concepts I came up with!" Client is unhappy and so you call him entitled, even though they paid for that table.
