The Stomach that is now Devourment Remastered

If you don't have a stomach, then you can't do oral vore. That's what everyone is wondering. What stomach the Devourment Remastered Mod for Skyrim will have?

Schaken Mods took up the mod development in November and so far things have been shaken around.

The core of this project,

Though, isn't Schaken himself. According to Schaken, this redesign has Seetruck to thank for it. I caught up with Seetruck on the mod's progress.

Now, the question comes up as to whether Schaken is developing the mod currently now that the information about Seetruck originally spearheading the project in the first place. The answer was that he is not at the moment. The current situation is that Schaken has taken a step back and is letting Seetruck and the community work on the mod.

Frustration during development?

No. More than that. This looks like severe frustration. Indeed from Schaken's perspective, "The reason why i havent continued work on this is because hardly anyone will listen to me.  I gave directions, i spent weeks setting everything up for you, I did this for free, This is a fetish mod that isnt even my fetish at all."

Seetruck mirrored that information saying that "some people are bugging him and he kinda does get [mad] when nobody tries to make a mod for it unless no one know[s] how ... yet some people want to learn but never even messed with scripting before." Ok. Ok. So making a mod for it. That's where it's going but as he said Schaken will not make any additional mods for it. It is up to Seetruck and the Devourment community to do that or get someone who wants to dig into it.

I followed that up with what's being done to it. Seetruck said, "nothing [far] as I know ... it's what it is ... a framework."

A framework?

I looked back on what Schaken last said on the 11th of December on discord:

"The issue is this, This mod "Devourment" WILL have to be a framework. my 100% issue right now is that everyone has a million patches they use with it, and because of this, the patches overwrite all the work i done. Over half of the reports people sent in, your papyrus logs prove to me that that work i did was over wrote, its looking for things that are not there."

I asked Seetruck about the mod being made into a framework and he said that it is, "like a framework for other mods to use like sexlab framework."

Sexlab framework. The Sexlab framework is noteable in that for new users trying to have sex with anything it doesn't work out of the box. Schaken clarified that, "You want a struggle bar? lets make a add-on. You want to see your actor inside the belly? lets make an add on. You want new dialogue and quests? new add-on. Compare this to sexlab, its just a framework, but there is alot of sexlab mods that make it do your bidding, thats how this will be, otherwise we have a HUGE feature creep going on."

Yes, Schaken's done with developing the mod at the moment, though, until everyone else can make mods to attach and use the framework, as Seetruck pointed out, "...far as I know right now ... it's really unusable ... [barely] works by [itself]."

I wondered about graphics or additional scripts themselves added on and Seetruck said to take a look at sexlab as an example and the amount of mods created for it and that don't overwrite the sexlab framework.

The scripts that everyone put together that works with the mod before devourment remastered in itself may not work properly. If it is possible for them to be used, but highly recommended that the new scripts are to be used.

If you going to use base damage, make it a percentage of acid damage based on the total health as some have proposed.

So like the percentage idea, everyone that can offer to script should start building mods to add onto it.

"Yeah you could do that but nothing overwrites the scripts already there," Seetruck added.

Schaken warns that, "Scripts dont really work that way. Its not like a car where you can take a door off of an impala and bolt it to a cavalier to make it a complete car. this stuff has to be created from scratch. Granted it has a few small pieces of it (Not scripts) that are possibly helpful, though would be easier to start from complete scratch."

Schaken's work won't be forgotten. Even to clean the core code up this far is something that many veteran modders of the devourment project were asking for. No doubt the community will need to pay attention and listen carefully from here on out as Schaken said finally, "I figured since i was doing all this for your community, you would at the very least listen. Im going to make an announcement of all the links that i would like for everyone to read up on. this stuff will help everyone get zero'd in on what needs to be done. I spent hours today talking with another scripter, they were blown away of all the work i done to this mod already."

From here on out, like a stomach, Devourment Remastered can't do anything unless you put something into it.

Now for those that want to make a mod for this please study the remastered Scripts so you will have an idea what to use and make really good mod for it.

If by change you want to make a current mod work with the remastered the scripts of those mods will need to reworked to use with Devourment Remastered mod.
