VN Ren'Py Eternum [v0.8.0] [Caribdis]

[Dylan741]

I once had a thought of recreating the HS look in DAZ... Maybe I'll start looking into that again...

Spoiler: my daz library

edit: there are a few issues with this render that I would probably try to fix if I was going for an AVN release... But to me, it escapes most of the pitfalls that alot of the DAZ games I've seen fall victim to... Or maybe I could be just entirely wrong...

Spoiler: a quick 10 minute DAZ 4k render that I resized down to 720p (HD) and autocropped

It's good, especially being it a quick renders so it miss some of work with lights and shadows, BG and some improvement at level of post production ( filters and retouch).
I would say that at the moment, the best examples of how to work with DAZ and how to give a good render can be found in the work of: Oceanlab ( though he is slooooaw), digi.Bi, Stone Fox Studios, Naughty Road ( very original but fantastic nonetheless) and Gallant Trombe, imho of course, but what you showed is definitely interesting, wish you best of luck for your project.

THAT'S IT, I'M GETTING THE SPIT!!

I think Caly is the exception to the others. As we were warned, she wasn't deemed complete, hence the server lockdown. She was "trapped" in a box that looks exactly like we see with that guy and the "NPC" kid in the current update. I'm thinking the WoA were actually created from "players"/"NPCs". Her reprogramming wasn't finished and so she still retained herself and more of what her magic could do. Either that or she's actually just something from the MC's imagination. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if her home was actually from the game he designed in the past.

The only problem I see with Hyas being able to cut a path between servers is that he keeps asking others to "open the portal". Unless its like you say and it only works with close servers.

Not sure why you insist on theorising as though Eternum is just a digital game, a bunch of code. Hasn't Caribdis given us enough foreshadowing that it's not? If Nova can hack a visor to steal a person's inventory at launch but can't once they're inside the game or even modify any single variable, that means something is off. What they've programmed has so far been foreshadowed as being accessing other worlds while maintaining a link to the Earth to prevent death, as well as installing exit gates. There's more of course, such as NPCs having chips just like players, or physical activity in Eternum resulting in consequences in the real world.

We can also see the 10 gems of doom floating around Calypso's ancestor, giving him the ability to use magic apparently. With Calypso being clearly unhappy with being seen as merely a tool, the chips, the reprogramming and whatever else, it's clear that she's her own person. Meaning that she and the gems of doom far predate the creation of Eternum's chips. And seriously, inability to even take screenshots in a game where you can have tons of different outfits in many types of worlds? No DM-ing while in-game or any such usual commodities found in any MMO? No character screen in-game to check level, stats, equipment or inventory? There isn't even a tutorial for new players! No in-game images on the net (as revealed in a conversation with Penelope). Why don't the devs have images of their own game?

You can't properly theorise if you continue with the assumption that it's just digital code. The game has abundantly made it clear that something's fishy and you'd need crazy infrastructures to support such vast amounts of data, yet there's no such thing back on Earth, and no way to modify any variable "in-game", not even for a hacker who can get access to a very secure server or remotely hack a secure casino computer in record time to feed it false info.

Did we even have a case in which these errors weren't happening due to a mod?

Hey guys, quick question. I've seen people with an animated signature that cycles through several (or maybe all) of the signatures from this signature post, but I can't find it. How can I get the URL to add it to my signature? Do I have to find the original file, or can I just "copy" it from someone else's signature?

This should work if you copy the link (don't know if it's the sig you want)

That's what happened in OIALT and I do hope it won't be the case here too

I agree that this is gonna be the hardest thing for Cari to write in a way that makes sense. But I really do hope that a full harem ending won't be possible. A few rare pairings that make sense are fine, but in all other cases I am waiting for some kind of dismount point (heh, literally) where we have to decide who to go for and who to say goodbye to.
How to write this without creating bad blood and hurt feelings, I seriously wouldn't know. I'm really glad I'm not the one who has to figure that out.

Anyone with an updated Alex signature?

There's no need for updated signatures. All hail the queen. The point in time matters not.

I know, right? Everyone knows the rules of making VNs: limited cast, limited setting, limited branching, pick all three or you will kill yourself with complexity. And then Caribdis comes along and goes, "which one is the most dangerous for a single dev? Limited setting? No problem, I'll make three completely new environments for this episode that you'll never visit again, what could go wrong?" And he does this episode after episode and still nothing goes wrong.

He knows how to pick his battles and doesn't do extensive branching or blow up the cast, with just a handful of characters that are neither throwaways nor the main eight, but I am still amazed by how well he tackles making loads and loads of new environments.

You know, I still have this theory that Cari used the funds from OIAL to buy HS asset packs. Hundreds of them. And the only reasonable way to utilize them is creating a place like Eternum that has no clear visual identity, but many different ones. A genius move if I do say so myself.

...me too.

As someone else already said, I still think Annie is the least interesting. Has no bearing on her being incredibly attractive and cute as a button but from a lore standpoint she's kind of bland right now. I'm sure it'll be rectified in the future though.

Thank you!

 

[TemIIx]

Ok, I lost.
Im here since the 0.2 update, i remember clearly when the 0.2 Update was released in December, i was stunned and, at the same time so excited to have discovered such an hidden gem... Now this game is not an hidden gem anymore, it became one of the top games of this site and thanks to Cari we have 2 annual updates full of content.
I promised myself to never pirate Eternum again after the 0.2, since my private life is not all fun and games i have to manage my spending, i have resisted until now by only playing the public release, however after 3 days i couldn't take it anymore and i download it, this is not a post of review, that will come when the public release will drop, for the time being i wanted to say sorry to Caribdis for having pirated his game, i spoke very little with Caribdis in Discord(s) servers and i can assure you that he is absolutely the nicest person ever..i know he got VERY mad when the game was leaked here the first day and i tried to resist as much as possible.. but i failed.
This stupid ass long post is just to tell you guys that from now i decided to support the official Patreon of Caribdis,(you should do the same, Plus his discord is very beautiful and i can't wait to speak with all the fellow Eternum enjoyers in there) when my paycheck will come one of the first thing i'll do is to subscribe to Cari... and i have to say that im quite excited, usually i hate spend my money
I just want to remember you guys that Caribdis likes every review of his game, even here, on a pirate site, just this says a lot about his person.(Not like someother dev who bans you just for making constructive critics.. *Cough Dpc *Cough.
Sorry for this post but i felt very bad playing before the public release and i wanted to clear a little of my conscience.

PS, i little though of the final scene: That Alex scene, Cari you outdid yourself again... i think it is ONE of the best Lewd scene in the AVN history

Pretty sure the full harem route is meant to be "default" true path of the game until the end. And not writing it like that would likely lead to a massive backlash for Cari.

You'd have a far better chance hoping for a second scene with Eve than thinking that a full harem ending won't be a thing.

I've been a Patron since OIAL and continue to be one. Doesn't mean I can't hang out here and share thoughts with people that sport a peg leg and eyepatch. Every opinion is valid. I'm pretty sure I'm far from the only one to do this either. But I get the message you want to send and the need for someone to do it, kudos to you.

God damnit. I suspected as much but haven't read any official confirmation yet. It's a shame and it won't make any more sense than it did in OIAL. Well at least no one will get mad besides me.

He is probably one of the ''few'' Devs who actually deliver amazing quality with amazing constancy, he deserves this and much much more.

 

[Dorfnutter]

That was obviously a lie/joke considering it's harder to NOT make a cliffhanger end for a VN with episodic chapters (especially since Cari has had a knack for that shit since OIAL).

Him confirming harem end isn't because he'll have to answer to A LOT of people if that ends up not being a thing (and from what I can tell a significant chunk of his fans like it BECAUSE of the harem fantasy).
