It's HS2, it's got like three presets: East Asian sex doll for the women, bishonen amd doofus for the men. Getting it to portray other characters is like half the work Caribdis has put into Eternum, and even he has limits.
Im usually not a fan of games that use HS, just not fan of the models, but every so often a dev comes along and puts in massive amount of work to make it look way better than DAZ ever good and Caribdis is definitely one of those Devs.

To add to this - the work is not only in the Main Cast, it is also in Side Characters. You rarely find someone who puts that much work into side characters which might only appear once, most people would settle with just one of the defaults or slightly changing them.

Makes the game more lively.

Just basing it on past observation where the 4.5k milestone was almost achieved only for it to go down right after when some Patrons didn't renew their pledges in the following month.

View attachment 2396490 View attachment 2396492

^This was around the time of 0.4 release, with August 31 having the highest recorded pledges prior to now.

So yes, this is the first time the pledges stayed high enough to breach the 4.5k milestone and still continue climbing. All I'm hoping is that it continues climbing, and not have another repeat of history where a number of pledges stop renewal after a month and knock the milestone back, but then start picking up again once the next release month draws close. That, or at least have the number of pledges who stop renewal in the following months be low enough that the 4.5k milestone is maintained.
Easy way to think about it - treat Patreon subscribers as a stock price. Each red line is a resistance level in terms of both resistance (attracting new subscribers) and support (subscribers that continue to renew). Notice how they are pretty evenly spread - but how the number of subscribers never falls below the previous support level?

Interest and support bounced around a bit at just under that 4.5k level before the new episode broke through resistance.

It's why I can categorically guarantee it won't drop bellow 4.5k. I'd actually say around 5k patrons is will be the support level. All Caribdis needs to do is continue to put out consistent quality, and the rest will take care of itself. While I'm enjoying playing Eternum, I'm really interested in what he'll be able to do with his next project - because I reckon by the time this is complete, he'll have over 10k patrons and it's time to start thinking about doing this full time.

He already started creating and developing the his games full-time since he got 500 Patrons in creating OiaL:

I'm pretty sure Caribdis is already prioritizing the game to making it even better than before, you can also see that everytime a goal is reached it's always affect the speeding and the improvement of the game.

If you played OiaL there's obvious improvements that you'll notice everytime an update happens (like scenes, animations, and the models of the game).

You'll also notice it in Eternum, the changing of hairstyles every update (seeing what fits better), The number of good song choices for every scenes and the cool effects and animations added in game.

So no worries Caribdis is doing his best for the improvement of the game, he will always get more and loyal supporters as this game continues to keep getting better.

Man, translating this game to spanish made me realize something. I didn't want to translate anything, I just wanted to partake in the awesomeness of this game. So upon realizing that, I decided to create my own VN. That's the effect Eternum has on you lol. Sadly, this means I won't finish the translation. Anyways, wish my luck (y)
Pass on that baton if someone wishes to volunteer in translating it, lol.

Also, good luck. /salute

I wonder what's the song playing in Nancy's elevator scene guys?
I believe it's called Besame by Lu-Ni. In any case, the YT link below is a playlist with the tracks used in Eternum so far, so check it out if you're interested.

ngl the character models in this game are so hot that even grandma is straight up bussin'. As a broke college student I don't usually subscribe on Patreon but if there is one game that I'm willing to support, it is without a doubt Eternum ^-^
