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

[Dorfnutter]

I've noticed something about Penny replaying Eternum once again. In v0.1 (early at the game in the breakfast scene) she says that she's beginning her freshman year of Journalism in Kredon University

Must be probably a small confusion about time.

Maybe they're batchmates since high school and there's been bad blood between them ever since?

I don't know, just throwing that out there. Maybe you're right and it's an oversight thing.

First; I hadn't played My Bully when I last played this, so cool. Second; Even if Nancy wasn't in my future plans, no way I let this guy have a chance ...

This game is so good that the LI's , at least for me, are a plus, because the story just keeps getting better, and that piano at the end of the chapter was amazing

 

[Zerorox]

Ahah, next time I'll play "failure path" with all main girls))
Waited for at least v0.5 to play, amazing, smooth build up with girls. Can't stop playing before current plot ending, great story)

Had high expectations, this is a summary of my thoughts:

Halloween party was a huge letdown, feels like it was too short and lacked content (compared to other top game where it felt like a party for COLLEGE students). This party felt very childish and not like halloween. Too many scenes that lack logic and is just a way for developer to have sexual content.

Art wise, muy bueno, and nice touch with adjustment to MCs look. Animations and music, chefs kiss.

I really liked the writing for Eternum plot and the episode and from what it looks like "maybe" some real choices that may change the gameplay in future. So thats a big plus, because there are too many choices that doesnt matter.

This update was a mixed bag for me, I would say
three stars out of five (slightly above average).

And then when its just story progression continuously or theres a lot of LI development, people will complain that the pacing is too fast and feels rushed for either of those lol, there's no winning.

I'm actually one of those who feels that some of the pace are moving too fast like Dalia giving a BJ for example, but i do understand that this is not a manga or novel where you can put lots of details into it, i'm pretty sure Caribdis are capable of putting lot of details if he wants to but if he does then this VN would be ended in 10 years probably lol, i mean even with this pace there are still people complaining "lack of penetration sex scene", " the relationship is not realistic because she's a virgin and shouldnt behaved this way" and so on.

Sooooo.... At the party, can you only get the scene with either Penelope or Nova in one playthrough? Tried a couple of times to see if I can get both and i'm stuck
If you can get both scenes by correct choices then could someone please give me a hint. Thanks

You can get both. In both routes you will have a point where the respective character is doing something else for a while and they both even tell you that you can look for the other.

What I did was start with Penelope-->Went to Nova and finished her part-->Went back to Penny. Completely possible.

Personally, I'm fine with the pacing if only because people seem to forget that time skips happen every now and then and what scenes we are getting with the girls are actually highlights of their relationship with Orion, with the small interactions and such likely having happened during the days that were skipped.



^Like these aren't just transitionary slides. Stuff likely happened during these skips, stuff that were too boring to show but likely contributed to the girls' growing feelings for Orion (i.e. hanging out, having small talk, bumping into each other during classes or while walking around town, etc.). The only time it doesn't apply is when it's outright stated that Orion and said LI hadn't interacted with one another for days (such as in the case of Annie after the "Run Boy Run" event).

You can get both. Once you get control of Orion (MC) at the party, head right and then right again, then interact with Penny and watch her event (she will leave the room after). Once that's done, head straight back to the lobby (DON'T GO TO THE CHANGING ROOM) and go left and left, then just focus on trying to get through the Nova event until it ends (there's a point during this event where you are tasked to track down an item, head to the changing room when that happens (go back to lobby, head right, then left) then talk to Penny). Once you're done with Nova, go back to the lobby, head right then right again. Penny's event should trigger once you get to the room (hint: Dare is always the right choice and so is Tails. And keep sticking with Penny.

And for the love of all that is holy, do NOT pick Charlotte).

If it's the story quality that you are looking for, I have some recommendations.

The last sovereign has one of the best adult game stories I have played. It is rpgmaker though, so you need to be ok with that. It does do a lot more than adult games usually do with the engine and has a well thought out combat system, investments and tons and tons of decisions and consequences.

Out of Touch has a very good story. It's an koikatsu AVN, though I think it looks a lot better than most koikatsu games. The story is hard to describe without spoiling anything, but it's a wild ride with a lot of unique and cool elements. Heavily recommend it.

Superhuman is another good one. Think an avn with the protagonist being a mix out of the protagonists from prototype and the darkness. It's a 2D avn with a big decision focuss. It works a bit like the time management in persona. The story is mostly linear but you get fixed points were you can decide what to do, like training or spending time with a character. The visuals start out a bit rough, but get better as the game progresses.

None of these games are finished yet, but they all have a lot of content. The last sovereign has by far the most and is on the last part of the game currently getting developed.



You mean in 0.4?

This party felt very childish and not like halloween. Too many scenes that lack logic and is just a way for developer to have sexual content.

There's not a single scene that lack logic, what ? The party is there to get closer to Nova and Penny, so of course it's centered around their relationship to Orion. It's not "an excuse to have sexual content", it's an "excuse" to get closer to them because that's what the party is about. Sexual content is there because it's a porn game but it doesn't come out of nowhere. Nova and Penny both have a crush on Orion thanks to everything that already happened before between them. This party, in which people are supposed to have fun and let themselve go, is indeed an excuse to act on their feelings and get contents with them.

Also if that feel childish to you, it's because it is. College students don't go to parties to silently drink tea around a clean table and debate about philosophy or talk about rents and taxes. They usually go there to have fun, drink, get laid, and play stupid games, which leads to them acting childish. So clearly the atmosphere was on point, and litterally everything that leads to sexual content is justified by the characters and consistant within the context of this party.

I was not sure about answering this because everyone has the right to have an opinion but sometimes seeing criticism about something that's not even accurate is kinda annoying. It's like saying you don't like Annie because she's too mean with others or you don't like Calypso because she's ugly... dude.

Mixed feelings about the update. On the one hand, as someone who really likes the story in this game, I was a little disappointed that we didn’t see any kind of plot development, on the other hand, the focus in this update was precisely on the development of relations between the characters and I liked Luna's path. So, overall it was good. I hope in the next update the focus will shift back to the main story.

That there is no plot development at all cannot be left as it is:

the other contestents forfeiting after tied 2-2 makes so much sense

lol everyones is entitled to their own opinion and that is subjective. your opinion that my criticism is not accurate is just your opinion, and not facts.

 

[bubblebutt123]

Amazing game! On the beach with Dalia, bj scene
One trend I hate is smelling dudes cocks

Who in the fucking world gets turned on by that? Is it because most of the audience doesn't shower? So when they do it's a turn on?

Shower motherfuckers. Your Megumin body pillows will appreciate it

Granted I'm on this site so who am I to talk

Is that the only argument you got to describe the "lack of logic" of the party ? Dolores just got destroyed so she doesn't want to play against Nova anymore... easy to explain. It's not even relevant for the following scenes, the game of temptation with Nova could have happened afterwards anyway so it's not even an "excuse to get to the sexual content" (honestly it's probably just so Carbidis could focus more on Nova and less on making scenes with Dolores and the other dude, which is a gain of time and effort).

Also no, there's a difference between an opinion and a criticism. What I'm saying is there is no lack of logic to criticize, and that's not an opinion. You can say you didn't like it because it was (realisticly) too childish or because there was not enough plot for you or because you didn't like a character being how the character is, that is an opinion based on what is. But criticizing a lack of logic is objectively not accurate because there's no lack of logic there to criticize. Like I said, it would be like complaining about Annie being mean or Alex being a brunette, it doesn't make sense because there's nothing to complain about since Annie is not mean and Alex is not a brunette.

But anyway, think what you want there's nothing else to say on the matter.

Very nice story.

In the end, it does not even matter that they gave up. The other solution would be that they would be in another room, also get the wine and lose the challenge while MC and Nova win. So I dont really see why people think it is not logical to give up at the tie, but it would be more logical to let them participate in the last challenge, just so that they lose while you dont see anything about it.

Well the thing is we don't know enough about Dolores and the other dude (for the life of me I can't even remember his name) to assume how they'd react in this context. But nonetheless Dolores giving up can easily be explained. Sure your solution of being in another room could also works but like you and I said it really doesn't matter for what happens with Nova anyway so that's not even "an excuse for sexual content" (which was the trigger of my little verbal crusade here, the "lack of logic to excuse sexual content" nonsense).
