If you didn't bought a certain pendant for a certain lassie (that's Annie) when the protagonist first logs into Eternum, that might happen to both of them.

Edit: If you're in doubt, use the walkthrough

thanks, now i need to replay it from the start

Edit: I was kinda careless because i knew it was at v 0.1 and i just started playing it yesterday. I didn't bother saving from that point and checking all items to see if it would affect the relationship ( I chose the pervy sunglasses). My bad

As a rule of thumb, if you have a choice of either doing something for one of the girls or for yourself, always think of the lady first. A rule that has already proven itself in the last VN by Caribdis.

Not really. So far you only miss one heart i think. But there is no saying on how much it will mean by the endings.

I think it is better to replay tbh because I think the choice is more important than just missing out on 1 heart. In game annie plays as a mage and we know that levels determine what spells you can/cannot use (penny's spell from hogwarts for example had level requirements).

Annie dying means her levels are reset and since that is the case, certain spells may be inaccessible to her in the future. You also need to remember that she was level 33 (I think?) which is fairly high level so it is not an unreasonable assumption that she has multiple high level spells. So her losing the levels and having to rebuild can have consequences going forward.

If you press ctrl it will not take time. Also I have not used it myself but I believe the mod makes it so that you have the pendant during that scene even if you did not buy it in 0.1. Maybe others who have used the mod can correct me if I am wrong.

smh this is why u think with ur heart and not ur penis

I didn't bother saving from that point and checking all items to see if it would affect the relationship

if ur not opposed to walkthroughs, id recommend using the sanchomod

some dont like walkthroughs and would rather go with the flow, which is valid

but if ur the type to try to pick the best option, and ur replaying parts multiple times just to find out, might be worth using if ur just tryna play linearly

you can also change the transition in settings to unseen (i think thats the one) and just press ctrl and skip through and choose all the choices really fast until u get back to the spaceship part

Another option is to use tons of Saves. Whenever I play, I also save a lot, just to make sure to get to another savefile if I messed up or want to see another path.

I did a save at the glasses, just to check the out. Otherwise, I chose wisely.

I played forward from the glasses save, died, but used the cheat to get me out of it as if I chose properly to begin with.

Updates faster than most games with higher quality: still considered slow.

It's like when I was a kid playing SimCity and was trying to solve the citizens' complaint that "taxes are too high". I set the tax rate to 0%. And 3.2% of the citizens still complained that "taxes are too high".

If you're waiting to for a higher version for more content, you really really don't need to wait. There's already an insane amount of content in the game

I don't think I'll ever wait for the purpose of playing when there is more content available, but I do understand the desire and choice of some to. I found Eternum 0.4 earlier this year, right after discovering these games through a certain one about a young man going to college and joining a frat with a phallic-sounding name.

Playing through 0.1-0.4 was an incredible experience that can never be recreated. I of course had to immediately play Once in a Lifetime, and that immersion was unparalleled. I felt like I lived it - an entire lifetime within a week. (Even if Asmodeus did call me useless and ask why I'm even playing the game and triggering a surely non-canon ending!! Friendship for the win <3)

It was magical - truly a once in a lifetime experience. I can never forget the adventures and fights alongside Judie and Lauren. Sobbing my eyes out at Rebecca's wedding, when she finally, finally got to do what she truly wanted, to the tune of EvangelionFeeling compelled to risk anything to protect loved ones in scary, dangerous situations.

Following art release-by-release just feels fundamentally different. My generation grew up with Harry Potter. He literally aged alongside us. As we grew up, so did the series and the character. Our identities developed, and Harry Potter evolved through different genres.

I am not so particular to where I will go to such lengths to control which experience I have (how could one ever wait to play an Eternum release), but I won't really be able to compare Once in a Lifetime and Eternum past 0.4 in some ways. Because one I experienced as a snapshot of who I was at the time that I played it. And the other, I will experience over the course of years, as I and my life evolve over that time, perceiving each release a bit differently because I am a bit different each time.

Thing is, both works are incredibly paced. Extremely genre and format-savvy in this regard. It's also part of what makes Eternum feel like a kids' TV show, which I absolutely adore. Eternum especially so because of how incredibly massive and expansive the world and scope easily could be.

Also funny thing - a few weeks ago I was playing this weird game called real life and met a possible romance path. Before I realized what I was doing, I inadvertently tried to impress her with a bit of trivia about East Timor's tax rate. Unfortunately in my bumbling-idiot MC syndrome I got it wrong and instead of her reacting with "Oh wow sageproduct you're so incredibly knowledgeable and cultured and obviously play Eternum too, let's get married", I made her sad about how poor some people in the country are.

Thank you saxafon404 and the troll on the Leap of Faith forum. I now have a new vow going forward: Anytime I see an obvious troll post, rather than respond, I'm just going to immediately ignore them.

Already implemented btw, in case you saw this and wanted to bother me for some reason ...

Ah yes. A classic pickup line as long as your Speech and Charisma stats are a high enough level.

I made her sad about how poor some people in the country are.

Darn I jinxed it.

Excited for the next Release! It's always a blast returning to Eternum!

As much as I'm looking forward to the next updates, I'm starting to wonder how people will react if this game takes a strong turn genre wise.

As it stands, it's solidly Scifi, nearly everything is connected to the super advanced technology from which the game gets its name. Meaning all the other genres present, like Fantasy, aren't really the genre of the game itself. So how would people react, if, as seems to be strongly hinted or implied, that the game isn't just a game, and that all or at least a lot of the servers are in fact real dimensions. Meaning that various fantasy fantasy aspects of the game are independently real, making the game both fantasy and scifi equally, not just scifi.

It shares the same universe as the old game Once in a Lifetime and so the game will have fantasy elements. We also have seen hints of this with Luna's powers and Orion's reflexes (punching brock in the gym, dodging the football etc). And the game has already implied that there is a lot more going on (there is no lag/bugs/glitches, nobody has met the creator of a server, the stargazing scene with Alex etc) so it will not be the biggest surprise if thats the big reveal next update.

I personally dont care as long as the story is interesting. I think you can do interesting things with the idea of alternate dimensions and fantasy. The main appeal of this game for me is the likable characters, interesting plot and the wholesome atmosphere. I dont care too much about the genre and I think it having fantasy elements will make the game even more interesting.

Where was it ever said they share the same universe? I've seen other people say it before, I've played both games, and I don't remember seeing anything to indicate they're a shared universe

 

[TheFapMasterOne]

So this is also on standby ?

OIAL has a scene where a character talks about Eternum being an upcoming VR MMO game. Eternum mentions Stabby Mike became President Stabb. And one of OIAL's endings mentions Calypso.
