When you make a game in the same universe as another one, the most efficient way is to choose one of the endings and make it the canon one. Before Eternum (the avn) launched, people could play OIAL and consider the ending they wanted as their "ending" to the story because there wasn't anything contradicting it. That said, Caribdis probably said that the harem ending is the canon one even before releasing Eternum, but I dunno.
Because Cari tells his stories the same way old-school Japanese eroge devs approach theirs: in that despite the choices there is only one true route and that said route has a bigger chance of being carried to the next game. And that's because it's much easier to write around it instead of taking into account multiple permutations that won't even matter in the long run because at the end of the day these are visual novels with set stories and not large-ass RPGs where decisions affect worldbuilding and major story events. It's for that same reason that AVNs with branching paths never get a sequel of sorts unless they choose a canon ending or simply carry over superficial consequences that ultimately wouldn't matter.
Unless you're Type Moon and you get away with saying 'each route is a parallel universe from one another and thus canon' and then proceed to make alternate universes an essential part of the setting.
Stabby Mike gets referenced. Which is nice, because the entire setting already got supernatural shit going on, so all the weird stuff with Eternum makes absolute sense.
wait so is eternum set before or after oial? because eternum refers to him as former president so gotta be after right? Man it would have been cool if eternum ended at a point where oial could start
I actually got confused reading half of that convo, Dorfnutter 's answer was what I was looking for ty!
Astaroth, not Azaroth. The latter sounds more like a pending copyright lawsuit than a demonic name, really.
Yooooo that's actually pretty fire, dw I understood what you mean (I think, not that bright). Will have to get around to trying oial then.
Then let's have Annie+luna+Nancy. It will be just possible to play incest
Nancy will play mother to Annie and Luna
I hope at least role-playing games are allowed on patreon....
The dialogue effects in question play more with the MILF/Sugar Mommy kink more than any sort of Forbidden Incest kink, really (which Patreon will probably murder Cari for should they ever catch him going for the latter route).
