When I was browsing through the submission thread, I couldn't help but notice the July 1st notice of 'open closure'. My question is: if this is for good, as in no more submissions from the community, or if it is only temporary up until perhaps the devs has implemented much of the backlogs that they have for the game?
Is the closure of public submission final?

Oh, well that sucks. I was hoping to contribute some expansions to already existing npcs that I like in the future after catching up to the latest main story available. It's a shame that I only came across the game a month before this closure but it is what it is, I suppose.
Yeah that's probably permanent, not sure what that means for those submissions still pending though I feel if your currently working on something and reach out to Savin you can see if you can get an extension in that case. What I'm most curious about is if certain characters that don't have an already submitted expansion in the works or is something the devs already commissioned, will they be axed in July, such as several of Bubble's npcs which are pretty incomplete or just considered annoying (Byrvenia, Takahiro, Ninian... I don't know if Sugo counts or not) as well as some of Hugs characters (Elf Boy, Frostpupper) and some others (Liulfr).
Unfortunately, I was still in the process of learning the different parsers and how its used when the closure announcement occured. So you couldn't really say I've taken the official first step in writing the expansions for npcs I so desperately want to have more character, in addition to slightly more sex option, and perhaps a pregnancy content.
Now that you mentioned it, I'm curious too. A shame about Liulfr, he/she was one of my target npcs to expand upon.
I don't blame Savin for doing it. I know he's been wanting to get rid of the incomplete characters for a while if no one picks them up, and I'm sure the backlog is HUGE on submissions, gotta cut it off at some point so they can clear the backlog while also adding the main story stuff. I honestly appreciate it because one of the big things I don't like about CoC1 and TiTS (even though TiTS is still in dev as well) is the sheer amount of incomplete or "feels incomplete" content.
I do think it would be awesome though if after the cut off they gave the few trusted authors the option to pick up 1 or 2 of the characters that could use a revamp/expansion to write for. Maybe the ones on the chopping block as a last chance to save a character they are interested in, but just never got to. Maybe just 1 character if they want to do a big expansion/revamp, or 2 if it's just small addon/adjustment. Just a thought.

I hope these characters don't get axed. I like building the house for Ninian. Also the Frostpupper is critical in my speedrunning.
Pretty sure Ninian is getting axed or at least getting an option to remove him permanently from the game. I know Savin doesn't care for the character either.
I'd rather keep the Frostpupper as well, but she's very barebones. I know there was someone that was expanding on them, but don't know what happened to that. Savin did say there was plans to remove some content that is deemed incomplete, though not sure what will get the axe exactly - I'm just making assumptions based on previous conversations in the gripe and want threads.
