Is there anything in particular that's keeping you from writing Shar/Shaedra/The Harpy Zone or do you just not really like the characters and concepts anymore?
Is the closure of public submission final?

I agree. Actually, after reading Zharas talk I find her disdain for her sister a bit much. She is a (relatively) nice gal other wise.
Though I think if we do manage to reconcile them, Zhara is going to demand to put an egg into Shar.
Writing other things. Everything a writer writes means they aren't writing something else with that writing time.
I feel like maybe I didn't word what I was really trying to ask correctly here.
Closing community submissions after a certain point makes sense, since at any point people can submit any number of projects that are doomed to never be complete before the end of the game as we've seen repeatedly over its lifespan, but is there a reason you're limiting yourself from just finishing out the remainder of your ideas and ending the game afterwords? It seems you've got an internal hard deadline, and I guess I'm just curious as to why.
They've been working on this game for a WHILE and Savin has said they are ready to start working on other projects. Don't really blame them. I would 100% love to see as much expanded on as possible, but sometimes you gotta draw the line.
I don't want to spend the rest of my life working on the same game. CoC2's already past the initial projection for game completion.
Or, to wit, I've been working full time professionally in smutgame dev for 12 years and have 0 shipped games under my belt. Shit's frankly depressing!
As sad as I'll be to see it finally wrapped up because I think I could enjoy new content with these characters and the world for a very long time without ever regretting my continued donation youve more than earned my excitement and customer loyalty for whatever comes next, and I suppose the conclusion of COC II.
Does the first statement from Savin's public submission closure post also apply to the second statement:
1. "If you are a writer with at least one submission already coded into the game"
2. "We will not be accepting new characters wholesale, but expansions to existing characters and plotlines are still very much of value, particularly abandoned characters from writers no longer in the community."
By which I mean, is it only the writers who've submitted any expansion before closure the one's qualified/allowed to expand 'abandoned' characters in-game?

Out of curiosity, what's the oldest submission in the backlog, and how long has it been there?
Probably Shade's goo TF which's been languishing since April 2023.
Yes.
If you don't have anything in game right now (or you have something in the review queue that's about to get accepted) you aren't getting any writing into CoC2; please wait for Next Game.
I'm really glad to hear we are getting a cutting room floor mode, cause I've been squirrelling away the public updates in fear of something I like being cut with now way back.
Does that mean we may see the return of the bimbo hive route in that mode then?
That might explain why the adult content has felt a bit disconnected from the rest of the game to me. Along with why the corruption has felt different compared to the frist game.
Sorry if this is an odd question, but would you consider making a non porn game ever? I think the smuttiness is one of the less interesting parts of CoC2, I actually really like the non smut writing.
I know you guys don't wanna say much about whatever game is next yet (which is understandable), but do you want to move on from smut games at all? Or is it just the fact that you've been working on the same one so long?
