VN Ren'Py Eternum [v0.7.5 Public] [Caribdis]

How do we think MC is going to survive being shot? Will he pass into Eternum as an NPC, but maybe regain his consciousness due to his high compatibility with the server? Can Calypso bring him back into the real world? If she can create portals between worlds, I see no reason why she couldn't do the same with real life.

How typically long are the development cycles? I can see the last one was completed in April, so when should we expect the next update by?

Glad you like Eternum, now you play the waiting game with us
Dev cycles have varied between something like 5 and 7 1/2 months with the latest updates having taken longest, but we definitely expect another update this year and the dev has said they will try to keep the update cycle at or below the last ones.

Theories for our MC's possible demise range from: he aint dying at all (perhaps using his powers on earth for the first time) or him dropping into limbo with maybe Idriel or be an NPC for a while as you suggested yourself.

Calypso's possible involvement was also discussed, with the one caveat that she had already mentioned she tried making a portal to earth prior to the current events and it did not work. May change however. There was a theory that MC may drag Calypso to earth herself, having her stranded there.

And just to clarify, you mentioned both "real life" and "server" and that may just because the terms just come up, but at the beginning of the last update we got the reveal (which was already heavily hinted at) that Eternum worlds are not servers but actual other realms and earth is just one of them, nothing like real life or anything. Annieway, great to have you, but now you must wait. First set of sneak peek to the next update dropped here and progress was put at 20% currently iirc.

Cheers =)

there can be many ways the story progress and how the MC is saved.
maybe he will finally wake up his powers fully in "the real world", similar to how he awakened them when Thanatos killed him.
maybe callypso will finally manage to sense him in the real world, although i doubt that.
maybe he will die and transport himself in eternum permanently, similar to thanatos. although thanatos died while playing the game, but MC is more special, so...
or maybe he will just survive because the cops are going and they will rescue him, and it will turn out the wound was not that serious.
or something else entirely.
