I was diving in the archives and discovered this thing that /tg/ made a long time ago. Catgirls + an underwater world. It looks like the project withered away and everyone involved left this board ten or so years ago. So, how was it? Did it ever get off the ground?
I wanted to ask, however small the odds, but does anyone have these pictures? They 404'd when clicked on in the archives.It's a bit of a shame that a good portion of the original artwork surrounding this project is now lost to time. I wonder where the artists that were involved in this project are these days.
>>97373285It did, then they killed 1d4 chan because jealousy.Welcome to the board you wanted and worked towards.
>>97373285Withered? I'm pretty sure it was done.
>>97373364Was that drawn for it?It's sad to think people would just AI this sort of thing now.
though, if making a new version, I think basing it off of Ryuutama would be sufficent.

>>97373285>and discovered this thing that /tg/ made a long time agoExtremely painful and upsetting sentence to read.
>>97373671Also all the stuff survived via 1d6chanhttps://1d6chan.miraheze.org/wiki/Setting:CATastrophe
>>97373674Some of the download links there are for 1d4chan.org and are offline.Most of the art is no where to be found but in 4chan archives with no full sized images.
>>97373285Lol, I remember writing some of the lore for this. I'm the anon that wrote the lore for The R.I.G (Rusty Iron Gizmo). It wasn't my best bit of write-faggotry but it was my first. I always like CATastrophe threads.>>97373730I've got some OG art squirreled away on my drive.>>97373674They need to just make 1d6chan the fucking wiki.
Two divers inspect pre-flood treasure.
a shame leftists and redditors invaded the board, ruining the fun, camaraderie and social cohesion of /tg/. can't really do creative stuff like this anymore with them here.
An explorer being stalked by a precursor security bot. I remember this was drawn in regards to the many under ground dungeons that could be accessed via various methods on the ocean floor, islands, and "atolls" on the surface.
>>97373777Without fail, every accusation a confession. Hard to make things when magats can't stop spamming the board about trans cock.

A catgirl with her trusty medic bag.I remember that outside of extreme circumstances, it was originally planned for it to be very hard to actually die in CATastrophe. The original feel was to be more Feel-good Saturday morning cartoon. Characters could definitely get injured but at worst that would lead to incapacitation .I remember one monster that was invented was the Disco Slug. It wasn't really harmful but was bioluminescent and had chromatophores across it's skin that caused it to light up and pulse like a lightshow at a rave or disco. Characters and NPCs that looked at it and failed the equivalent to a WILL save were hypnotized by the creature and began to dance around it. Eventually they would obviously pass out from exhaustion. This made them both good living security systems and also were great at parties.There was plans to have a kaiju sized version of the creature but I think we only got as far as writing some lore regarding it.
The consequences, both good and ill, of inspecting pre-flood artifacts. IIRC there was planned to have an artifact inspection table or chart somewhat similar to Gamma World for trying to figure out what the stuff you managed to find actually was and did.
>>97373777Rent free to be quite honest/tg/ was ruined by paranoia about content scraping and inability to trust anyone in general
I believe this was an early attempt at cover art. Maybe.
>>97373671Remember back when bro quest and engine hearts was just some random thing that popped up out of nowhere, and we'd all pitch in ideas and drawfags would do little doodles. God we're so fucking old.
Not sure if this is official CATastrophe art but there was a lot of art posted in those threads that served as inspiration for the setting.
>>97373833It's not paranoia if it was actually happening.
Ditto in regards to my last post. Though this may have more claim to being official CATastrophe artwork. I remember there was a lot of talk about how enemies such as rival treasure hunters and even pirates should be handled. Obviously one of the things that was brought up was to simply get your boat or airship stolen.
I remember one thing that was discussed early on was that the animal folk in CATastrophe were assumed to be kind of stupid. Mechanic wise I don't think we had any thing to represent this. It was left more to the spirit of the players to RP their characters as kind of airheads.
>>97373435No, but it was -- along with this picture -- one of the main inspirations for CATastrophe.
>>97373285I remember lurking the CATastrophe threads back in the day when i was new here. The project was finished, not abandoned, at least as far as i can remember.
>>97373777the board has never been more right wing and never been worse so the irony is pretty big i dare saybasically the same goes for all of 4chan
>>97373861And who cares? The board is dead because everyone's scared someone might profit from their effort so everyone's just shitposting instead
>we've lost the rules for CatastropheFuck.>>97373833When your entire board becomes fodder for youtube and twitter content, can you blame them?
>>97373945Who cares, It draws folks in and keeps the site healthy.Besides, it opens a new avenue for people to discover the board and the site aside from /pol/.People scrape /v/ and you don't see them complaining.
>>97373777Of course, you're not to blame for any of this, you've been here since 2016
>>97373954>It draws folks in and keeps the site healthy.No it doesn't. It creates a feedback loop where /tg/ just becomes "become famous on twitter by posting elf gf what do threads", or alternatively a post you thought was for one community is instead picked apart by another. 4chan is no one's zoo. This is an imageboard. You post images, you discuss things. If you want to use some other site, go back and stay there.>People scrape /v/ and you don't see them complaining.This is not the argument you think it is, it is in fact the opposite argument of how a board can be turned into utter shit by everyone trying to be the most epic shitposter XDDDDD
>>97373902newfag detected. this place was far more right wing in the good old days
>>97373972It was and it wasn't.2003 politics != 2008 politics != 2016 politics != 2025 politicsI would say 4chan was just generally anti-establishment and libertarian. Ron Paul was a meme candidate here for a reason. Equal parts left and right spectrum wise, but generally just people here to talk anime and whatever.People blame /pol/ and 2016 tourists, but in general politics got extremely partisan in 2016 and I think people who were here for years got more partisan along with everyone else.
>>97373969Newfag detected. 4chan was always getting scraped by other sites. That's why sites like 9gag and even Reddit were so derided. That's where the "I made this" meme came from. OC and screencaps from 4chan would always get posted to those sites. However that never stopped people from posting OC and their own content anyway. It still brought users to the site and content and OC continued to flourish.Fuck, Encyclopaedia Dramatica got most of their traffic by documenting the exploits and memes of 4chan users. I remember when having your post saved in a screen cap was a personal badge of high honor as was having your thread immortalized in suptg.I swear some of you guys are some of the thinnest skinned pussies I've ever seen on this site. And that's really saying something considering where we are. >>97373988200% this.
>>97373945>we've lost the rules for Catastropheno i have them, but 4chan is now a no pdf posting place
>>97374019>4chan was always getting scraped by other sitesI don't disagree with this, Twitter and Youtube have just encouraged monetizing it. With 9gag and Reddit the worst you had to worry about was internet points and just flat out claiming your ideas were theirs.And the fundamental problem is the kind of thread this sort of monetization encourages. Like the pattern on Twitter is>4chan OP with a question>the thread got a lot of replies, so it must get a lot of replies on twitter tooAnd again these accounts are monetized, so you have an endless churn of>ELF GF WHAT DO>WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF ELF GF>ELF GF IS RACIST AGAINST HUMAN, OH NO WHAT FUNNY SITUATION
