the new mods removed all mention of horror from the game descriptions

not in the game, but was there any mod post or anything when the new mods took over to indicate they were changing the tone of the game? because if not, that's something people might want to actually bring up in the mod contact/faq.

that's really fucking weird for a game that was so heavily advertised and played as horror in the beginning. i think i left right before or around the time carvaka got new mods and kind of glad i did now tbh. not just for removing a core game element but for apparently not saying anything about it

that is some shady shit. any reason to hide that they changed the premise?

i actually went back and looked at the original game advertisement and some of the subsequent ones on atp. it was advertised as sex, exploration, and survival. horror has never been mentioned in the game advertisements.

huh. i went and looked and you're right, but i'm 100% sure it was in the game info somewhere because i remember being really hesitant to app because of the horror aspects

i think like anon below said, it's just something people have come to expect. and i really don't think it's going away based on the fact that we have deca as one of the story mods. also like i said, the latest npc-involved log involves horror, so i really don't think that's going away at all.

i believe that's one of the first ads for it and you're right. but i think it became sort of expected that there were at least 'horror elements' due in part to some of the chars in game and the survival aspect, along with the appearance/mechanics of the npcs. most people, myself included, write it off as a horror type game along with being a sex/survival one.

and that's totally fine! i do as well. and i haven't seen any indications from the mods that they're backing away from that even if it isn't explicitly said. looking at the most recent exploration log with npc involvement, it seems very clear they're keeping a horror element to things.

possibly someone might want to suggest editing the profile page or making some kind of announcement as to what the tone of the game actually is and where it's going. because if it's not horror and we're all idiots, then someone does have a justifiable reason for being turned off by surprise horror. if it's not and they changed that, then a little heads up would be a good idea. it just seems like half the game doesn't know what the other half is going by and as an outside spectator, i couldn't tell you from adam. if the game players are confused, potential newbies are sure as hell going to be. if it's not horror, that's something that should be stated since it might get more members if most people writing if off are doing so for the horror.

i for one never thought it was horror??? so i was really surprised to hear so many people said it was!

as a player in the game, i never saw carvaka as horror. just survival heavy that carried some serious topics with it because of that. yeah, there were events that edged into horror sometimes, but it wasn't the main meat of the game. and current events definitely haven't been horror. i would say we're toeing a 'survival SoL' line right now.

This thread is an awful lot of strawmanning around when the issue raised is less about Carvaka being a horror game and more Carvaka being full of asshole characters that won't stop being assholes just because there's a cinnamon bun in their midst.

you could look at it that way, or you could see from multiple people remarking that there's a clear discrepancy in what the game is and what people think it is. i know that out of everyone i talk to on plurk, we all think carvaka's a horror game. that's not taking away from what set this thing off, but we're allowed to discuss things outside of 'this shit happened'. yes, it did, but as you'll notice, other shit is happening to.

if you want to drop deets on someone being a cinnamon bun too pure for this world, wg is right over there and thirsty for it. if you want to keep shitting up an already shitty post and derailing a legitimate conversation, go ahead.

idk if half my cr was murdering the other half i'd like to get a head;s up about it whether my character was good OR bad

what's wrong with wanting a compromise or plotting something different out so your character isn't written into a corner? anons on rpa or wg talk about reaching out or communicating to work something out, why is it suddenly different if your character is an asshole and "that's just how he is"?

They did not.

I would not have joined the game if it had been advertised as a horror game, and I have been in the game since the start. Carvaka has never been advertised as a horror game.

i have nothing against horror games or horror/smut games, but carvaka wasn't ever advertised as one. it always had survival, bumbling NPCs, and "no running water" whenever it was pitched. none of those give much of an impression of horror.
