I like the game a lot. It's my favorite game on this site, but making an update in 5 months already seems a bit much to me... I hope it won't be like that from now on (only two and a half updates per year)... I mean, due to the too long wait, I'm already starting to forget many details from the game until the new update comes out and I have to play evry time again with an update behind, to be able to remember all the details of the story. I think an update once every 2-3 months would be perfect. Who wants to play a bigger update is very simple: play the new content at a distance of two updates. This would mean the same period of time played per update as now. In this way, those who want updates more often and those who want to play for a longer period of time per update will be satisfied, so everyone will be happy. This is what I would do if I were to develop a game...

I mean at least he updates consistently every 4-5 months, and you know that his progress tracker on his updates are not complete bullshit. I get that some people might prefer shorter more frequent updates, but when a dev can actually deliver on content instead of stalling and milking for months on end id rather them actually take that time to have a bigger update.

I did not say that he is not constant or that he milking money from people without offering what is needed in return... On the contrary, what I wanted to say is that in those 5 months the content it is more than enough to be divided into 2 smaller updates.

Not everyone thinks like you. And the patrons voted by majority for this cycle and not for faster (but lighter) update cycle.

There was actually a patreon poll where the dev had asked this same question about the size of updates:
You must be registered to see the links


If you cannot access it the relevant contents are as follows:

"Also, 0.5 will have the amount of content as the previous updates (a big one), but I wanted to use the occasion to make sure that my release schedule is to your liking. I can't work faster (nor slower! ), but I can continue releasing big updates as usual, or release smaller ones (less content, but more frequent)."

The post has 1,533 votes total with 95% voting for bigger updates + longer wait time vs 5% voting for small updates shorter development time. Given the overwhelming majority of votes went towards larger updates, it is not going to change. Usually it looks like the dev time is around 4 months. This update has taken a bit longer than usual but that is understandable in my opinion given it is holiday season.

It also took longer because unlike past updates which had 3 lewd scenes per update, he upped the ante this time by having 4 as per his latest patreon post. Not to mention making improvements to existing stuff such as having

and yeah, that adds up to the needed dev time to make it all come together.

Not the guy you replied to but I use a walkthrough as well. It basically boils down to the fact that the path/relationship system is stupid and you can lose character paths for characters for reasons that do not make any sense.

My initial impressions after playing the game are here: https://f95zone.to/threads/eternum-v0-4-caribdis.93340/post-9346947 - it is what drags the game down from a 10/10 to a 8-9/10 for me.

Example; just at the start of Eternum game, there is a choice for mc to buy a gift to an LI or buy other things from the fake items shop. W.t mod highlighted to buy gift (luck).. but i went with a gun. Later that luck from gift prevented the death of mc & an LI (at a space station). I had to use mod feature there.
