How a Snake Accidentally Cancelled TC2

“We were this close to greatness.”

🐍 The Beginning of the End

It was a normal Wednesday.
fakeaxis, lead developer and living enigma of Typical Colors 2, was sitting at his PC doing what he does best: tweaking absurd damage values and adding hats nobody asked for.

But that peace would not last.

Unbeknownst to him, a local Florida corn snake (or maybe it was a ball python? idk, herpetologists sound off in the comments) had slithered its way through an open window, lured by the soft RGB glow of ascorbine’s gamer setup.

💻 The Fateful Crawl

Midway through editing the CTE build in Roblox Studio, while adjusting the recoil curve of a WIP flamethrower that launched rockets for no reason, disaster struck.

The snake made direct contact with the CTRL, A, and DELETE keys.

Roblox Studio — in its infinite wisdom — didn't ask for confirmation.

The entire Typical Colors 2 - CTE project was wiped.

Poof. Gone. Deleted. Just like the shotgun class they were definitely never going to add.

🔥 Panic, Regret, Cancellation

At first, the dev team thought it was a versioning bug.

Then panic set in.

Then reality.

The only backup?
Corrupted due to the same snake slapping the external hard drive off the desk moments later. Probably while looking for warmth.

With no working copy of the CTE, and the master branch depending on it, the team made the hardest call of all:

TC2 is Cancelled.

Effective immediately.
All future development ceased.
The game will remain playable, but no new updates will ever ship.

🧪 The Final CTE Patch Notes (RIP)

Before deletion, a few internal changes were spotted in a leaked screenshot:

  • Added new map: Costco Payload XL

  • Removed H4V0K’s knees

  • Made bullets ricochet off Sniper’s ego

  • Replaced all health packs with Sour Patch Kids

  • Re-added Friendly Fire by accident (again)

We'll never see this brilliance.

🪦 A Moment of Silence

Let’s take a moment to remember all the things we lost today:

  • TC2’s future

  • The entirety of the CTE

  • fakeaxis’s sanity

  • The snake (RIP, it touched a PSU wire)

💬 Final Words

“Don’t leave your window open while editing the core files of your Roblox game.”
— you, after reading this

Stay safe out there, devs.
And always version control.


🦴 TC2 forever, in our hearts.
