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

[Tremonia]

Does anyone know how I could join the Discord server? The link on first page is broken but I saw this post:

I think this works:

You must be registered to see the links

I followed this link and clicked on the button to join but nothing happens. I can see the channels for a moment and also the button to the server on the left but than it all disappears. My account is new. I deleted my old account. Could this be the reason? Is there a restriction how old an account has to be if you want to join?

You're not wrong, and it'd be a tough game to get into at first because of it, but the following points aren't entirely true:

-No way of being able to modify physical appearance (save for clothing, makeup, and hairstyle) unless you do so IRL

-Levels do nothing except act as a sort of reputation/prestige system, and you lose that reputation/prestige whenever you die

You can become a shapeshifter, which allows for pretty radical physical appearance changes.

Levels at the very least can be requirements for certain spells if you're pursuing magic - which suggests it might gate other things.

Have you checked your DMs in discord? Some servers send newly joined members Dm to verify them, to get a reaction. Or they tell you to pick a role. That are things that could pervent a bot from spamming.

I am to lazzy to join the server again, but have you done what the bot in the welcome channel told you?

It ain't permanent though. Plus I was referring to something similar to a race/appearance/body type system akin to most MMOs. So far the only way your appearance can be permanently altered ingame is if a server alters your body the moment you enter it (though I feel like that's akin to an art style change more than the kind I'd like to go for).

Levels at the very least can be requirements for certain spells if you're pursuing magic - which suggests it might gate other things.

I don't think it's a requirement. Probably more along the lines of "this spell becomes available for purchase or the quest that provides this particular spell becomes available to you at this particular level but you can still cast spells if a higher-level player gives you a tome." I mean, look at Penny. She's basically Level 1 but she's still able to learn summoning at that particular level (albeit the summon she got was weak), plus she got a tome from winning the Warthogs challenge and I don't recall the headmaster telling her that she won't be able to learn the spell/s from the tome unless she's at a certain level. There's also Orion, who's able to summon a godlike being like Calypso even in his current level (although that's likely because she's linked to him in some way considering he was the one who freed her and all).

In the Warthogs storyarch, at some point, one of the girls says she's holding onto a spell she can't use until she's a certain level if I recall correctly, which is where my statement comes from. I'm too lazy to go delving for the specifics, though, and my memory isn't infallible, so I could be wrong.

That's the first I've checked but there wasn't any message.

There's nothing I can read and follow. I'm on this server maybe for a second. I can see the server button on the left and I see all the channels. But after a second, could be shorter than a second, it disappears. The button on the left is away and all my other servers climbed a place up in the list. It looks like I'm on the server for this second and than he kicks me out.

Thank you for answering me and trying to help.

Spoiler: I mean I'm just going by with what the story said so.../shrugs

Anyway, I ran through the entire Warthogs story arc (again) and saw this. I concede that you were right about the level requirement for spells, at least.

Your spoilered section also mentions levelling up getting you access to "special abilities and upgraded equipment". It seems like your level doesn't provide extreme benefits, but it's not entirely just a reputation system either.

I dunno, it kinda sounds like a simplified version of WoW's rep system to me (where you get rewards if you gain a certain rep level). I say simplified because at least with Eternum's system you don't have to grind like a no-lifer who lives in someone's basement because you only have one system to level...unlike in WoW's case where you have a bunch of different factions that you have to grind rep for (on top of the other progression systems that you have to do) if you want to stay competitive.

It could be one of those situations where the cup and circumference are all wrong, but she should still get it on. If she's, for example, a 34D, she could probably get on a 38B and it wouldn't hurt her, but it wouldn't exactly support her.

Or maybe she and Annie have something going on that they aren't telling anybody about.

I am not active on his discord server - I only go there when there is a release however I have been a patreon since v1 of the game. Basically the rules were tightened because anytime there is a release some cunt tries to harass the developer.

For example during previous release someone made a bot to spam non-patreons links to the leaked demon-lord tier beta release. Now I am not going to preach about piracy on a pirate forum but you can imagine how shitty the developer must have felt. There was similar drama during the 0.3 release as well. I believe the requirements now are that you need to either be a patreon and do the patreon -> discord account sync or require a verified account. I am not sure what the verification entails (if it is verification with phone, verification with email etc).

I believe the above was true during the time of 0.4 release - I have not entered the discord server since then so it is possible requirements may have changed. You can try reaching out to the developer directly on patreon if you want to know the exact set of requirements.

Edit: also tagging Tremonia since you had asked the original question.

/Sips coffee while replaying Eternum after a hard drive death and replacement made him lose his old saves so he has to restart

/Reaches the part where Orion gets his first Gem of Doom

Brain: ...Maybe it's in the name...

Me: ...I'm sorry?

Brain: "Gem of Doom." We get a gem after helping 2 NPCs who were doomed to die in a fire. The gem is essentially a token that represents a doom that had happened.

Me: ...

Brain: Think it's plausible?

Me: ...I mean we have no idea how the other gems are formed, so...

Brain: True, true. Best wait for 0.5 or a later update that would reveal the truth.

Me: ...Mhm...

Brain: ...But think of the implications if-

Me: GOD DAMN IT DON'T MAKE ME STAY AWAKE AGAIN ALL NIGHT JUST THINKING ABOUT IT STAHP-

Got done with my playthrough, and the use of Pachelbel's Cannon during the scene's with Alex at the mansion were sublime.

One of my favorite pieces of all time, and it just fit so perfectly there.

I'd always wanted to do an arrangement for two trumpets and organ, but haven't played in so long, I probably don't have the chops for it anymore. Not to mention, 32nd note runs take a lot out of you...

The minimal musical training I've done included playing the baseline on piano in a chamber class. Also one of my favorite pieces of music.

I was introduced to the piece in a youth choir. Sang first tenor. Just looking at the sheet music and seeing/hearing our pianist playing it was simply amazing - those 32nd note runs weren't single notes, but chords. She frequently looked drained after we did it, and we always gave her an ovation afterwards - even teenagers can respect some things.

Yea, I never performed that (the violins always did) ... but I practiced. I never got more than half-way through a line before my fingers broke down on the timing. I can whistle the whole thing though ;-)

I realized I had a save point from early in the game when you could choose to what to buy from Chop-Chop, the gem/jewel or the glasses (there were other options, but they weren't really of interest), so I thought I'd do a speed run from that point to see if I missed anything good. I mean, with those glasses, you get to see not a single damn thing, and I have to spread this out to make people think it might be interesting, but the replay WAS A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME! There was the issue at the end, though, when you were with the alien and about to die, but the modder saved you.

good to know the glasses aren't being used (at least for now, though i'm starting to doubt if theyll ever be in use, since its a VN and not sandbox-like), wouldve done a playthrough myself just to find out after the game got a few more updates, thank you for your service and saving everyone else's time

The glasses may be used in a future update, like the pendant wasn't used immediately.
