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

[Dorfnutter]

When the follow up titles to some of the best games on this site lack tags like incest and corruption I can't help but feel disappointed. This game is just a too light and the developer has proven that he can do better.

I don't know if adding incest in a game that clearly has a story to tell (hence the deliberate decision to not add it in the game) can be considered "better," to be honest. Hell, I'd argue it'd probably end up making it worse because it'll just end up as a retread of OiaL except with "Ready Player One" and "Sword Art Online" elements, so I think the dev made the right call to branch out from that.

Corruption...I don't know. Too early to tell if it's planned as a future fetish (though I can see one or two of the current cast who could be subject to that).

You can check the Devs Patreon for the current Progress. Currently 43% of v0.2 are finished. The post is available for everyone without paying money.

And from my experience, it is worth the wait. I have not played Eternum yet, but Once in a Lifetime was very good (discovered it at v0.9) and waiting vor 1.0 was worth it.

Maybe emphasize that on the first post.. a lot of game dev Patreon posts are typically behind a paywall..

Like if you are looking for game update posts, click on a Patreon link with tags of updates or what not..

I wish this person would do a game that is in Daz 3d.

Only to see the "same" models again as in the hundreds of other games? I think HS2 models and the whole game looks fantastic and the time required per render is probably a lot shorter than with DAZ.

Hey fucking zuckerberg stole your idea my dude! Caribdis

I don't like curruption or some shit with non consensual things(not my thing I'm bit of sensitive), his previous game lewds where only with lis and no one complaint anything about it with story and timing of the scenes with nice romance these are the things that differs an adult games from porn games and it's upto developer's mind to drive in which direction.

Are any of you worried about there being too many vanilla games out there nowadays?

I‘m not worried about that because

1. I like Vanilla myself so the more the better and
2. I admit that I am so jaded to incest that it doesn‘t bother me anymore. Thinking about it, if a game does contain incest, I don‘t consider it non-vanilla anymore.

I‘m a big fan of Caribdis first game and I‘m almost certain this game will feel like OiaLt, but with improved visuals (and holy hell are those visuals improved). At least when I started I immediately recognized Caribdis‘ style. So, again, not too worried about vanilla games overall and most certainly not worried that Eternum will not live up to the standards the dev has set with his first game.

 

[quorkboy]

Absolutely. At this point incest is so pervasive that it has, within the context of adult VNs, become vanilla.

I don't get what's wrong with vanilla anyway. Vanilla can be super fun and exciting. Maybe it's not your thing. If that's the case, move on. But as criticism goes, it's not a valid evaluation of quality.

Guess we know what Dev Zuckie likes.....I'd like to think he would be a top-tier Patreon, but the cheap bastard is probably here stealing it with the rest of us.

 

[silv3rrr]

Thanks for blessing us with another game from you. Can't wait until it's done.

 

[Dorfnutter]

Fingers crossed that we get 0.2 by the 1st or 2nd week of December at the earliest...

If Caribdis teach us something in his other game is that the only one that can allow the girls getting ntr is yourself and your decisions, just smash the right option and deny the other walking drones a taste of the grills

And that it'll probably lead to a bad end.

I really liked Once upon a time so I'm trying this one out too!

I did the math on that 31 trillion market capitalization. Hehe, they'd need to sell about 12 billion of those 2500$ neural implants to get there. Guess there's a monthly fee too!

I guess it's set around 2030?

Considering it was mentioned that Eternum was called "the drug of the rich," I highly doubt that Ulysses has managed to have sold that amount of neural implants.

I also don't think there's a monthly fee, otherwise Annie would've mentioned that to the MC at any point prior to him joining.

With that said, there's a lot of other possible ways one could do to monetize a game like Eternum:

-selling/renting out servers to people who want their own custom-built world (like how EA/Dice does it with Battlefield)

-selling worldbuilding tools to creators for a fee (or an annual license like how Microsoft does it)

-having an asset store where creators can buy and sell assets for a fee...hell, I wouldn't even be surprised if they have the latter as a sort of in-app store where they could sell hairstyles, costumes, weapon skins, etc. for those who want it (I mean, if I were the Founder I would add that...beats having a monthly fee to be honest).

 

[Valamyr]

Yeah, one very obvious thing I didn't account for in my calculation is that market capitalization has relatively little to do with sales, its mostly speculation on future worth. Even if Teslas sell well, the sales aren't anywhere close to justifying the stock price; TSLA is still skyhigh and Musk is the richest man on earth on paper, mainly because electrification of transportation is a very good bet. Dunno why that didn't come to mind immediately.

I finished playing in the meantime. It's very promising, theres not much more to write yet because it ends at an early stage, but I can tell itll be at least as good as Once in a lifetime. 0.1 is already a solid cornerstone story-wise.

Exactly what I was thinking, about Elon Musk. It could also be ad revenue and certainly personal data monetization (like facebook, twitter, youtube, etc.)

Oh my...this is really great stuff dude!
Great animations, good-looking characters and scenarios, interesting story.
I just can't wait for the next update!

Caribdis, having played Once in a Lifetime, I have only one question.
Will there be a cameo of a certain stabby fella?
