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

[nttn95]

Hello ! I've been working on a French translation patch for Eternum for a few weeks, and today I felt like making an AI voice mod (in English). It's just for testing XTTS + RVC tech, I'm not thinking of doing a real project. But now i'm curious and I'd like to have the opinion of people whose native language is English. Is the result really crap? Or is it interesting? Thanks !

Caribdis puts almost all other Ren'py devs to shame. I loved Once in a Lifetime and Eternum is proving to be a clear step up and deserves all the support that they can get.

The animation, the micro-expressions, the general attention to detail... it is mind blowing. The closest game I've found so far in terms of quality is probably Parental Love (they did some outstanding artwork). The addition of music, sfx and the way the dev uses transitions... it is amazing.

Saw a few previews, seems a Luna centric update?

Now I have to lower my expectation after what probably was the best update and best lewd scene in a AVN so far, it will be very hard to reach that level again.

She hardly had any screentime in 0.6 and has some catching up to do overall, so she should feature quite heavily in 0.7...or so I'm hoping, but previews and her being the 0.7 "poster girl" seem to indicate the very same.

Well...I still think the Hana date in PC is even better, but yeah...that 0.6 ending will be hard to top...or so one would think. I very much doubt that we will see Luna going three rounds in 0.7, that's for sure.

Okay, hear me out...

Luna and MC getting busy right after beating some type of horror monster. They're so amped up, her magic releases, beats the monster and they go another round--

I mean, we already have links where they were involved with the horror thing what if Cari amps that up and that's on the pirate server and--

Luna and MC getting busy

You just lost me and killed my immersion. Now if you had said: "Annie and MC getting busy" I'd be onboard.

I mean, SOME scene will happen, but probably a bit tamer than the ending of 0.6, because anything else wouldn't fit Luna's character and her arc, I would suggest.

Well, I mean...

Annie being the first one to get busy with MC by flying to ecstasy might happen in 0.8 instead. That magic gotta go somewhere...

True, I think that on the whole, Cari is having them sneak moments in Eternum but get busy in the real world and I can't see that and it's more me being ridiculous with it than serious.

I'd like to think the proper escalation in the real world is having the house to themselves while her father is at work but won't hold my breath on that. We gotta see what happens with Luna.

Honestly the quality is not great

Considering it is just text to speech the quality is actually not that bad. It isn't completely there yet, but at this point it is only matter of time before VNs can be fully voiced over without a single person having to say a single word into a microphone.

Skipping through every horror quest.
Shameless I know but it was 3 am cut me some slack

Better than some real voice acting I've heard.

 

[Takkatakka]

As for the AI voice, It's not bad but I do feel spectical about it, the AI voice is a bit off sometimes with change of Tone during some sentences

It does okay as long as it is a normal word or a full sentence. Names, incomplete sentences or sounds don't really work that well...yet.

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.

If you think everyone in PP is a walking bag of trauma then I don't wanna know how perfect and flawless the Eternum girls are.

Some of the girls have sad backstories and flaws to complement them but the only ones I would consider bag of traumas would be Ashe and Ves. Ashe is by far the most popular and Ves might as well be non-existent

Tbf the horror part was pretty good for what it was so it's understandable if someone skips it.

I really don't get how these scenes can be so "hard" on people, that they actually skip them.

You're playing a character in a game who is playing a character in a game. So you basically are distanced from what is happening by two levels. How can that be so hard to stomach that people aren't able to normally play through it? Never mind the fact that VNs aren't exactly the most immersive genre to begin with, considering you don't have direct control of your character by any means.

Some people are afraid of a lot of things. It's just how their wired. It's fine. But when I and others play a game, we are still immersing ourselves as the MC and if the MC is immersing themself into another 'game character' we are still part of that immersion. We don't separate ourselves from it.

Is there a lot of content already? How many hours so far to complete all including latest update?

Yes there is some decent time of playing this, but it mainly story and slow build up relation/harem wise, but I can confirm it really is a great VN to play.

 

[Takkatakka]

Depends on what content is for you. Is there already a lot of story?
Yes, I can't give you an actual numbers of hours someone would likely need by now to completely play through the game as far as it is developed right now, but it would take some time.

What there isn't there yet are tons of sex scenes if that is what you're looking for. The game has a lot of slow build-up between the MC and the main LIs and so far the number of scenes is very limited.

/tldr
Hours of fun and entertaining story and character interaction.
Only a few actual sex scenes so far.
