VN Ren'Py Eternum [v0.8.5 Public] [Caribdis]

[Ungawa]

Again: The problem is, that we more get told about him having planned it than we really see him planning it (not sure, how you would even do that, but there is a reason I'm not developing my own games, I guess).

For the 1st character outside of Orion to even say anything in the game (if you don't count the introduction with Annie and Dalia), his role overall is just feels pretty small. But again: It's okay if that means more screen time for the girls.

Well, humor me for a moment... What would Chang actually need to do to increase his role? If he goes in Eternum, he might start competing for screen time PLUS getting time with the girls where MC can't such as possibly in the next update.

To really have a right hand, you need them to have their own strengths that won't compete with the interests of the MC. That's Luffy and Zoro. I think when we ARE in the real world, that's when Chang is present for the most part while in the Eternum world, the girls get center stage. That's my guess as to how the screen time truly works.

I'd rather Chang not get any screen time. Maybe send him and his gf to another world to be forgotten. Maybe make a spin off game called 'Chang in Chains'.

The game has made me chuckle and laugh on way more than one occasion, saying he can't do humor is pretty out there. I think Eternum has some great humor mixed in an otherwise darker, more serious themed game.

However, if you're looking for an incredibly humorous game, where the humor is very much a persistently amazing factor throughout, then if you haven't already try Projekt: Passion. Now that game had me laughing/chuckling a lot, while still being able to deliver dramatic, serious, more emotional moments as well when it needs to.

Anyways, I think Eternum has the perfect blend of humor mixed in, it's not meant to be at the forefront, and it's not meant to be a selling point of the game, it's more like icing on the already amazing cake.

i've already played Projekt Passion but his comedy didn't make me laugh either, I was left in that awkward situation where someone tells you a joke and you don't think it's funny and you have to fake a fake laugh out of pure politeness so as not to make the person who told the joke uncomfortable.

Well Idk what else to tell you, I think you spawned into the world with a low sense of humor stat, that's RNG for ya.

There's no rerolls in real life sadly, some of us are just unlucky like that, like me with my shit memory. I can remember pointless crap just fine often times, but when it comes to important stuff like passwords or birthdays I tend to struggle at times. I also struggle memorizing lines or important details from stuff I read or hear from games/books/movies etc, which definitely sucks.

Also before anyone brings it up, yes I know humor is subjective, but my own subjective humor is obviously superior.

I'll have to wait for Caribdis or Classy Lemon to roll a 20 roll on the dice in the comedy stat, to see if they make me laugh in the next chapters.

I can see enjoying this game if it didn't have humor in it, but I can't see myself continuing to play if I didn't find the humor in it funny ... that would probably sour the experience for me.

I tend to fall off things that make me cringe, no matter how much I'm enjoying the rest of it.

Both PP and Eternum try to combine humor and drama (and porn), but I think Eternum does it better. Eternum has an actual plot with all the hooks and arcs and twists and other narrative devices. Yes, the whole VR game thing and 10 Gems of Doom make it easy to come up with the next episode: "oh, we've learned that another Gem might be found at the X-themed server", but the game is not limited to just collecting the Gems, you get all kinds of parallel threads development.

PP might have good comedy sketches, but the overall plot is kinda weak in comparison. "My woman betrayed me and ran away with my McGuffin to the Bad Guys" needs more exposition for me to care. I want to see what kind of woman she was, what the McGuffin does, why the Bad Guys are so bad.

Plus, the girls in Eternum are all fundamentally well-adjusted individuals with some hangups, while the girls in PP are a crew of broken birds. Switching between comedy and drama gives me emotional whiplash when everyone is a walking bag of traumas.

I would probably agree with you if the humor wasn't so blatantly Tongue-in-Cheek. Eternum is by far the better game, but PP's plot is pretty much irrelevant if you're enjoying the humor. I can't take it in large doses though ... I couldn't take large doses of Bobcat Gothewait either, but I still found him hilarious and enjoyable.

Well Idk about by far the better game, after 0.6 I would agree with you in thinking that Eternum is better, but for me only by a bit, they are both in my personal top 3. In terms of overall quality, characters, and writing, they are both on another level from the vast majority of games out there. Eternum has the overall more interesting plot, but I prefer PP's writing slightly more, and I prefer PP's humor more as well. Eternum I would say has the overall better cast of characters, and I think I prefer Eternum's sex scenes slightly more as well. The point I'm trying to make is they're both amazing games excelling at pretty much everything, but do certain things a bit better than the other.

I would say that are both the highest quality games in their specific area's, (Honey Select 2 and Daz) at least in my opinion. Although some people would argue BaDIK for Daz which is understandable.

 

[Ellyx]

Nah I only did Annie and Luna, it was more for testing than anything so I didn't plan to be doing this with the whole Harem

Well, I lied

Nice work. Can you make some of Alex, Dalia & Penny? Maybe Rio & Sage from BaDIK? Also Skylar, Darcy and/or Tiffany from Ripples?

I promise that's the last post

I sure hope that's not true...at least not in the long term. 0.7 will hopefully provide us with a lot of great statics worthy to make a sig banner out of again.

Just finished all the sig, I promise that's the last post

I always find it so hard to choose. For me, Nova, Luna, Nancy, Alex, and Calypso all have so many upsides.

Why?

Oh no, don't worry, I'm definitely not going to stop now, what I meant was that this was the last time I posted signatures here before version 0.7 , I need new renders now haha, I'll probably do some sigs for others games in the mean time.

I always find it so hard to choose. For me, Nova, Luna, Nancy, Alex, and Calypso all have so many upsides.

If you're talking about the sigs then my pref is definitly Calypso and surprisingly the one I like the least is Annie sig

thank you for the beautiful fansigs

You're very welcome

 

[Old Grumpy Wolf]

If you're talking about the sigs then my pref is definitly Calypso and ironically the one I like the least is Annie

Take that back! Annie is best girl. Don't make me burn your toast and put talcum powder in your coffee for creamer!

 

[Old Grumpy Wolf]

Failed Souffles, actually.

I tried to make souffles once. The oven hasn't been the same since.

and Wine

 

[Old Grumpy Wolf]

You should come to Bordeaux or Strasbourg, which are towns in France where you can taste great wine and I think you'll say otherwise

No thanks. I had my fill of wine. Granted it was shit wine: Ripple and Thunderbird. When I was young. For research in how drunk and idiotic an underage drinker can be. I got a PhD in that field.
