That’s right, I’m making a blog post at 6 AM on Superb Owl Sunday. Big whup. Wanna fight about it? Sleep is for nerds.
I wrote a 3,100 word scene Sylvie, and I think I’m gonna rush into coding her next chance I get (which might be a day or three away). If anyone wants to brave the walls of text and pseudocode (and spoil themselves), she’s posted on the event submissions on the forums. Don’t say I didn’t warn you – this stuff is always much better to read once it’s parted out into code and parser calls.
Savin’s done some more work rejiggering Del to appear in Kally’s bar, with the alternate unlock route (for those Kiro-haters) and some new scenes. It’s at the top of my code pile.
I’ll be trying to dig into the email/submission backlog some in the days ahead. Enjoy the big game, bras!
(Go local/favorite sportsball team!)
any ideas for when the next public release date is going to be?
edit.. i forgot to check the play and download section
…or to check just a few posts down…
I thought he was joking at first so I laughed.
Then I saw he was serious and I was sad.
think we could get freebie public votes more often please? i may not be a backer but i do enjoy voting for time to time i even voted back in Nov. and not for Mr. fart.
fart = trump
Public vote? I’m looking at it again but I don’t see where it allows me to vote…

this is where it was mentioned
the poll is still named backer poll but it a free poll in top on right sidebar.
Hi Fen and Co. Nice owl. We need definitely more owls.
1st: Are you going to finish the final dungeon in CoC this year or later? And what do you think about the final fight in the CoC Revamp Mod?
2 nd: Is it planned to get scenes for wings and gills? It would be nice if they have a practical use in some situations. (Just found a scene with wings. Want more đ )
3 rd: Why I cant get pragnant with Cockvines when I have any other pregnancy? Is this a bug?
4 th: Antennas and eyes should also get scenes. For example, I have demonic eyes and can see IR and UV. Then I should see Kirilas patterns and markings or I can smell something with my antennas.
So, that was all. Have a nice day.
Final dungeon’s been finished for over a year. Hit that play button. The Revamp Mod as a whole is bad, though.
no offence intended Savin but i have to disagree with you about the revamp mod and others like it, i personally feel you and the rest of fen co. abandoned c.o.c (which i like better) for a shiny new toy called: t.i.t.s, so if people are willing put work into making c.o.c better even if it a mod i see it as a good thing. i for one am glad that there are people who see value in c.o.c still and not as a cash grab like i see t.i.t.s as.
c.o.c got me into text games even back when was still unnamed, before i played c.o.c i felt text games were trash but that changed when i one day decided to play.
p.s: sorry for text wall but felt i needed to say something from the heart.
CoC is finished, my boy. It’s been finished for years. The final Dungeon is done. You fight a gauntlet of bosses, then you fight Lethice, and then the game ends. The story is complete.
Also, while I agree the Revamp mod is great, TiTS isn’t some ‘cash grab’. They’ve put as much into TiTS as they ever did CoC. It has at least as much content as CoC at this point.
CoC, besides mods, is done. It’s not coming back. Fen and Co aren’t going to return to it. Let it go. Give TiTS a solid chance, it deserves it.
I don’t agree at all that we abandoned it. As it is, a subset of the mod authors seemingly enjoy launching thinly veiled insults at us on a regular basis. We sit, quietly, albeit unhappily at some of the decisions they make, but we let them do mostly as they please. Yet they seem to foster this idea that we’re “bad guys” or something, that we’re pieces of shit for wanting to get paid for something we spend 8-10 hours day on, every day. That we are garbage for leaving CoC unfinished because not every single last thing that could be done, was done. Yeah, there was a backlog of over a dozen pieces of content; you know what every single one had in common? It was all unfinished, the authors having either abandoned their work or left gaps in what needed to be done to actually fit it into the game.
Like it or not, bringing that unfinished content to a level of quality I’d call acceptable is a significant time investment, to say nothing of the effort then required to actually implement it after. Depending on the complexity of each it would probably have worked out to something like 2 or 3 weeks to finish off each one… working on it full time. For no money.
Nobody was owed CoC. It was never sold, it was given away and yet people act like it is their right to see it worked on. That, as you put it, TiTS is simply a “cash grab”… that we spend 50-60 hour weeks, each, working on.
CoC achieved its goals eventually, it reached its end. Rather than continuing to beat the dead horse that was the horrible codebase and barely planned progression from start-to-end of the game content, it was buttoned up and called done expressly so that work could start on the next iteration of the game.
A new version that would have better planning from the start, where everybody involved in its creation has the information they want about the underlying story and primary protagonists across the length of the game from the get go.
A version where we decide the vast majority of the mechanics and things that we’re going to support up front rather than folding more and more things in over time (see: bimbospeak, player-taurs, etc; things that came after the game started being made and thus ended up mostly overlooked and unsupported).
A version that doesn’t have to build on top of two-hundred-and-fifty-thousand lines of existing sprawling code.
A version that can lean on lessons learned through TiTS to avoid the most egregious problems that OG-CoC faced (see; everything is random and smashed into only a handful of places).
Gedan, it’s very obvious that you’re sick of the flak that you’re getting over a finished project. I’d just like to say that most people are happy with the work done on CoC and the work currently being done on TiT’s.
You guys do and have done good work. It’s not worth correcting the small percentage of visitors who wont let dead dogs lie.
PSA: Bad ends, best ends.
OK, I totally missed the last CoC update. Now I can finish the last fight đ
And I dont think that you abandoned CoC. CoC is good but it has its problems. So you created TITS, what is good too. I dont have a problem with that.
But to say that the RevampMod as a whole is bad is like you would say CoC itself is bad. Because it is CoC with a few expansions, like Minervas purification. The modder also spend their free time for the game and the gamer.
OK, my first question is answerded, but what is with the rest? Is it so hard to code such scenes?
And why I cant lay eggs with my Myr abdomen? I want to lay eggs into a drunk Ur… I mean Anno.
@Anon and @Gedan
first off, i not a writer, coder, an artist nor a backer (yet) and was not trying to be rude or insulting.
secondly, i meant no insult to any writer, coder, artist, nor backer of either game i was just voicing my “opinions” and concerns that was all.
thirdly, i know c.o.c code is/was a mess and story was/is considered finished (although it felt to me rushed/unfinished in small details due to my o.c.d)
fourthly, i have been giving t.i.t.s a chance so far but i find it hugely lacking in areas that i feel c.o.c did better (for a small example the leveling, i like c.o.c leveling better due to it feeling more flexible and going much higher then single digit levels plus c.o.c leveling felt less restrictive and less confined then t.i.t.s).
fifthly, new version of c.o.c that news to me, i heard rumors but that simply what i thought they were rumors nothing more. đ
sixth, i don’t think you guys are “bad guys” per say just simply humans that can and will make mistakes like any other human would myself included.
seventh, i more or less have given up on fen and co. returning to c.o.c i just felt i needed to have my voice heard.
that all said i do have a few thoughts on areas on which t.i.t.s could be improved upon if anyone cares and not too mad at me.
again sorry for word wall.
and sorry if i seem like an ass-hat not my intent.
I have never seen Gedan say so much at once in all the years I’ve been supporting Fen&Co… But she’s right. TiTS has been a more solid game than CoC since the Tarkus, and will only get better. And them being paid for it has a beneficial effect: more consistent, and more frequent, updates and content than CoC had.
Um, I don’t know if I missed it in the wiki but is the a shark gene mod? Just wondering.
It is.
Shark byte sold by jade
Wait, there is a game today? I thought it was just a commercial showcase.
>yfw no burr TF for Superb Owl
Text/pseudocode ..My brain Is totaled.i was brave .Now i regret IT but good job There good fÊn.good job indeef
Nice going Fen, you made the word parser in this guy’s brain crash, lol.
Didn’t Family Guy kill off the wanna fight about guy?
Hey Fenoxo.
I emailed you on Gmail.
I don’t know if you got it.
It would be as Bipolarbear1993.
Yup. I got it.
Patriots actually won holy shit man. I left at half time thinking the Falcons had victory ensured… I missed a hell of a last half >.>
Yeah it was crazy best 4th quarter in Super Bowl history.
That comeback though.
this is utterly terrifying because i’m reading his at the same moment i’m watching batman vs. robin which directly involves the court of owls
It’s crazy how much content you guys make, even though how wierd the content might be. I hope you never stop creating awesome content, it’s definitely eppreciated even though most won’t acknowledge it.
Would there be possible to add a extra warning when you are trying to overwrite a save with another save? Since saves aren’t named, i’ve had times where i save on a hole different save without looking and so lost a hole game for it. Would be really cool if it would tell you a second time if you’re sure about doing it or that this would delete that save file. Can’t be the only one that this have indeed happened.
Furthermore, ever thought if it was possible to add a “EDIT” and “DELETE” button on ur own Replies? I’ve had countless times been confused and said the wrong thing or spelled something incorrectly but since i cannot DELETE or EDIT my comment, i’ve had to reply again which can be annoying at times.
These simple changes would help so much when playing and commenting.
You can already add notes to each save. You don’t even have to retype them each time either. Once you load a file it will automatically save with the same note.
How?
Instead of just clicking a button corresponding to your intended save slot right away, if you look above the list of saves at the top, you’ll see a text box. That’s where you can create notes on your save files.
I just saw the kally , kilo scenes and kilo said something about the alcohol cum gene mod, is there going to be a weapon store or gene mod shop on Canadia station?
More weapons would be dope.
DAMMIT AUTO CORRECT! I meant kiro!
