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

[Dylan741]

Doubtful, but there were talks about a final update for OiaL to expand on the endings. Eternum was already mentioned in one of the endings so who knows.

Eternum is mentioned way before the ending of OIAL, specifically by Judie when the MC her and Lauren go find Mike before the final confrontation with Astaroth.
In the secret ending you as the MC meet Dalia maybe you're referring to that.
Imho an easter egg with the characters of OIAL would be great, but no more than that at least for me, as someone said before now is the moment for the characters of Eternum to shine, Caribdis don't need to bring them back.

That ending was unexpected asf.
When I saw Dalia I thought like "what the hell is going on?" Too bad it was short.

Yeah I agree, when I saw that ending the first time my thought was that it was Caribdis just showing the first characters of the new game ( at the time I just found OIAL by chance and didn't see nor knowing anything about Eternum if not the mention by Judie).
After playing it I thought, it could have been an hint to something like "what we seen in OIAL is a story in a server on Eternum" and it would play as an inception with a possibility of seeing the characters of OIAL again.
So yeah I'm conflicted on one hand I would prefer them to be separate games, on the other hand considering how much Tanathos looks like a super version of Azazel I'm dubious and other things that remaind to OIAL leave me wondering about it.
But this is the greatness of Caribdis as an author it gives you lot of material to speculate and think things, and that's a thing I really love.

Stabby Mike was mentioned in first hour of playthrough. I'm overdosed with crossovers.

 

[Dylan741]

That´s more or less (among other things) why I´m asking about crossovers, right now OIAL and Eternum could have things in common. So I wanted to know if the developer or someone with enough knowledge can confirm something.

Honestly I can't say yes or no to your question, personally I don't think I'm the most qualified person to answer.
As of right now with Eternum we just scratched the surface of what Caribidis is planning to show and where he wants to go with the story, so I would wait at least two other updates before trying to give my interpretation, because personally I feel that both the hypothesis, Crossover or Easter eggs, can be true.
For now I'm only enjoying the game and reading all the theories on the thread ( which I find really amazing and interesting).

HEAVY EDIT ON
What could become scaring in this game?
The fact the players could actually die, due to the feedback of their implant?
The fact the NPCs could be real humans payed/forced to play the role of the NPCs?
The fact that a player could become an actual murderer, if he kills another character?
The fact the NPCs can contact the players when they are disconnected; even when the players are sleeping?
HEAVY EDIT OFF

Naaaa! There's nothing scaring in that; at all.

Your answer means a lot to me, thank you.

You're welcome, even though I couldn't be of much help.

 

[Dorfnutter]

He is thinking about the fact that the NPC could not be NPC, but actual humans payed (forced?) to play the NPC role in the game and if someone die in the game, he could die also in the real life due to the feedback received by the neural implant?

Naaaa! That scenario isn't scary at all.

More scared by the fact that Caribdis might be introducing servers that look familiar and comforting...

Spoiler: ...only to throw Orion and co into SCP-grade ones the more they start going deeper and deeper into Eternum...

I have the right soundtrack for those servers:



Comforting is'n it?

This is the correct version of the song:

 

[Idontplay]

Ah, I was forgetting!
In the end of the last update, Orion & Co have released Calipso. A weapon able to rewrite the reality of Eternum, but accordingly to what Alex and the Praetorians said, also calm (for now), evil and not ready to be used.

With these premises, what could go wrong?

Orion finally collects all 10 gems of doom.

Time freezes.
Orion's demon powers manifest but he can't move.
The gems start shining and moving on their own around Orion.

Scene fades in a flash of light.

Astaroth is reborn inside Orion's body.
Game ends.

Caribdis's third game has a new MC and new girls.
They have to free the world from Astaroth, along the way they'll occasionally encounter and clash or collaborate with Eternum's girls and OiaL MC&girls.

This is how I would make a crossover and trilogy, but I'm sure Caribdis will make it much better than me

Caribdis after your message be like "Damn , I need to make another ending , this guy just guessed it..."
Jokes aside , this sounds pretty interesting and I'd love to see third game with similar plot and collaborations , but I think Caribdis will make something that none of us expect in a good way.

Kinda familiar

Kinda familiar

Oh noes. That means Caribdis' next game will be called World of Warcraft. Welp, I guess we will make a harem of Sylvanas, Jaina, Tyrande and whatnot.

 

[monk_56]

Beta MC resonates with players.

I don't like the MC much either- he is kinda a bitch aesthetically; though his personality is okay.

But the game is pretty funny, the female LI are all super cute, and the quality of the gal's renders are amazing.
I think there are plenty of reasons folks enjoy the game even if the protag doesn't resonate with them.

It's going to turn out Calypso is an evil soul eater and that third image is what you'll see when she lifts her skirt and spreads her legs.

 

[tihstsop]

If I remember correctly, the peaking should be the decisive point.

When that happens you have a dialog choice with 3 options during the conversation and one of them gives you a point that you should be missing accordingly.

Also should I ask for something spicy or leave it alone during the conversation about the cove.
