Not sure what the other posts about... These renders are "amazing visuals" and can't even begin to compare to "city of broken dreams" and the story is 10000000 fold better than them.

People just like to complain.. makes them feel noticed and special. :ROFLMAO:

I feel like this is more an "Elden Ring" vs. "Demon's Souls Remake" situation. One has somewhat dated-looking visuals being carried by impressive art direction and scope (Eternum), while the other is better in terms of lighting, texture quality, and mood/atmosphere but feels limited due to its tighter scope (CoBD). One is not necessarily better than the other. They just happen to have different priorities and excel in certain areas while being deficient in others.

And there's nothing wrong with complaining so long as you're being reasonable and you're doing so out of a desire to see the work grow/improve. But then again, this is the Internet, so I understand why some supporters don't like seeing complaints because they commonly fall under the "GAME IS BAD, COMMUNITY SUCKS, KYS DEV" category.

Only little thing that I found weird: Dalia looks really... Different maybe? In the last portion of this update, I mean, since she appeared in scene on the Roman Server. Her hairstyle and face look kinda weird, not like the Dalia that I was accostumed to, so much so that I didn't even recognized her as Dalia. This is particularly noticeable during the Heist Meeting.

Check some pages back, we've had this discussion some time ago, it seems it's the different hairstyle that does people think she's changed.

I solved all the errors myself since the game DV itself has no idea why such errors occurred in scripts 2 and 3.

The error I got was when I entered the line of a script that at the end of the line had the parameter (multiple=2).

After eliminating (multiple=2) of all the lines that had this in the script, I saved and entered the game a save before the error and there was no other error, I myself managed to decipher something that I did not develop.

I always manage to fix certain mistakes in Renpy games and this was, for my happiness, another victory conquered by myself.

Example of the error just eliminate the parts that have this parameter at the end in which I highlighted in yellow.

mc "Well, we're naked now. Are you happy?" with dis15 (multiple=2)
no "*Removing your pants*" (multiple=2)
mc "Enjoying this feeling of “power”? Have you had enough?"

Yes I think it did! It looks different to me, the texture is less "flat", color is more life-like as well and I'd swear the gap around the glans definitely looks different. It could all be lighting of course, but I'd bet otherwise.
(Thank you for checking it. XD)

Ya, it did. I played with hs2 to know that, they are two different assets for sure.

Yes, that's the impression I got while playing.

For a bunch of real life reasons I wasn't able to finish playing the update until tonight. I've religiously avoided this thread to avoid spoilers. It wasn't easy but I'm damn glad I did. I'm not caught up yet but I wanted to comment.

First thanks to Caribdis for this amazing update. Wow. So much content at such high quality. Really appreciated.

The result of the MC's summons left me laughing so hard that I had to stop playing for two minutes. Man that was pure gold. Chuckling now as I think back. The opposition is so confident and when his summons appears, we the players at a fundamental level know, they are just SO screwed. LOL. Maybe one of the most entertaining scenes in the update. Brilliant writing.

I generally don't try to figure out all the possible underlying plot devices, preferring to let the writer's work unfold before me.

So Caribdis: Thank you so very very much for this VN! Tour de force and demonstrated excellence fall far short of what you're creating. I'm enthralled by your work and will be impatiently awaiting your next update.

Not that far in yet but gotta say, the writing is top notch so far and I killed Benjamin with my mind, now if I concentrate hard enough, maybe I can kill his rich rapist buddy.

Decided to start playing, maybe it was not a good idea to play at 1 AM. I did not realize this had the horror tag lol. The dream sequence and Luna's mystery theme server stressed me out. OIAL had its own creepy moments but this one was on another level, and so is everything else.

Eternum basically takes the things I liked in OIAL and cranked to 11, no to 20! The art, characters, story, even the sound, everything! We get the same humorous dialogue and camerawork but more dynamic. We also get some serious and wholesome moments, which honestly I was not expecting but I very much welcome it.

It also addresses my hangup with OIAL: the girls' interactions outside of them interacting with the MC. In OIAL the girls felt pretty disjoint from each other, like it was clear cut that this girl only interacts with this other girl. But in Eternum the interactions feel more natural. Also big ups for more male supporting characters, particularly Chang, Chop-Chop, and Mr Hernandez. I feel that some other games try to minimize the number of male characters in a story and I honestly think that works against their favor.

This suddenly turned into a review lol. My mind was just blown by how this exceeded my expectations. Eternum goes into my list of highly anticipated releases here.

Please don't derail the thread, but I just want to ask if there was a clear "no NTR" clause for this game. If you pick the bad choices for the girls, do they fall under the influence of the assholes? I'm guessing that's a no. It will just close their routes and not lead to any depraved situations right? I just want to know if I should bother playing out a save with those choices.
