Latest progress report from the developer at Patreon:
[0.6] - Progress Report
Hello everyone!
I hope you're all doing great!
It is time for a quick progress update on Eternum's development!
I'm well, and the update is going well! I have more than 500 renders already, and I've already done several things that I can't wait to show you!
As you know, 0.5 was focused on "real life" events, and this time we're going back to Eternum (as in Eternum's world inside the game ). This update will contain a lot of story progression, with several events that will be vital to the development of the plot.
If you want to start the new update without knowing anything, stop reading here!
If you don't mind minor spoilers (I won't reveal anything significant, obviously), keep reading!
It is time for the MC and the girls to roll up their sleeves and get serious in their Gems of Doom search, as they're the key to unraveling all the mystery that surrounds Eternum. In this update, we will visit several servers, such as war zones, the Wild West, or mysterious manors where you'll be in charge of trying to solve an unsolved crime ♀
I've been working on this last scene for the past few weeks. It was a bit more challenging and time-consuming than usual because I wanted it to be particularly open-ended and this meant a lot of extra coding work. You'll be able to leave without solving the case or not, getting valuable info or artifacts, or even deciding who lives and who dies
It will all depend on how you play your cards!
And of course, I didn't forget about sexy times, nobody panic!
You can expect plenty of moments of intimacy and bonding with your favorite girls. There will be 4 new sex scenes again, all of them fully animated as usual
And that's all for now, but stay tuned because I'll post a new set of preview images very soon!
Thank you so much for your constant support guys, you motivate me to keep working on this project with the same passion I had when I started
Remember you can DM me or leave a comment if you need anything from me!
I love you all <3

I think 44 would've been convenient. Would be a nod to the "Do you feel lucky punk" quote from the movie Dirty Harry.Appropriate weapon for the update. Wonder if this was planned all along...

That thing about the manors remind me of Magnus grimoire....And that was one of the best scene in OIAL... I'm just a little scared about the die thing though, this mean we will need to be careful.... AAaaargh! As if i wasn't already excited!!!
What a tease!!!!

As long as that doesn't make the protagonist's heart skip a beat or something in this coming update (or equally traumatizes either Nova or Annie). Those 3 really have problems dealing with scary things, especially one particularly jumpy lassie.This so dope!!! Cant' wait to see, this will be a huge release like the 0.5 I'm super hyped!!!!!

A .44 Colt? Wouldn't that be "Special".
And while I have a modern repro in .44M, that would be inconsistent with the impression.
Nova does not get spooked easily. I think its just Annie. I dont remember the details but if MC/Annie die in the spaceship Nova is the one who goes back to retrieve the gem despite all the monsters being there.
She is a badass and she has the OP weapon. Of all the girls Nova and especially Calypso are the worst characters to take to a horror themed mission because they would simply attack first and get scared later. I think even characters like Nancy would be better companions if you want a scary atmosphere. Luna is another character who would not get scared but she would try to make it scarier for the player instead of straight up attacking the ghosts/monsters.

Me 2 years back: Well, with Caribdis pulling the haunted mansion card early, my chances of getting a heart attack while playing has somewhat lessened...
Caribdis as of this latest progress report:
Me upon seeing the news:
Knowing Orion (MC) he's probably going to sacrifice himself for the girls I'm sure...You'll be able to leave without solving the case or not, getting valuable info or artifacts, or even deciding who lives and who dies
...
...unless it's one of those forced trolley problem choices with no right or wrong answer like in the Andromeda server storyline. In which case...
/tosses Penny to the sacrificial altar
...
...What? She has a lower level compared to the others so I'm sure she'll get it back in no time. She's no Jerry, after all.
(Now that I think about it, I wonder if the dialogue choices you've made during the talk with The Founder (i.e. making the choice to fight for others, making the choice not to sacrifice innocents) is going to play a part in this manor case?)

So what you're really saying is that they need to bring Jerry along, but not tell him what's going on?
Or, possibly, this is the opportunity for Chang to shine: he gets set-up with an implant and goes on each mission as the sacrificial lamb, knowing that is his role each time. He has nothing to lose, but gets to play an instrumental role in the recovery of each gem. His code name will be "Kenny".

So Chang could join the Expendables team (with Noah and Raul) should the need arise. Hope he gets paid or something by Mr. Richards and his haremettes, because iirc Jerry's last "death" was free of charge since he's smitten by Dalia (even when it's clear he's way too out of her league and he still doesn't realize that).

Come on... Penny already died once...

Maybe Nova?
Nahhh everyone loves Nova...
Maybe Annie?
Nahhh she's still young to die... Hehe..
Maybe Nancy? We already fucked her so...
Just Kidding...
You know...
Just kill Jerry, No regrets everyone is happy

Or maybe Regina, if it's about sending a girl (or a witch) to be sacrificed. Penny would approve of it. And maybe, just maybe Jerry would get some respite from "dying" so many times.

If you're not on Annie's path, you don't even go to Andromeda.
If you're not on Luna's path, you don't see her experience with her mother in Warthogs, and you don't even go on the trip to meet her uncle.
If you're not on Nova's path, she doesn't even go to the Halloween party. Which doesn't just affect her - it makes you miss out on some of Nova and Penny's relationship too.
As the relationships developed, Once in a Lifetime featured more and more content that was path-specific. You'd eventually get to large time skips where, even on a blind playthrough, you can tell you just missed tons of content from not romancing someone.
Once in a Lifetime very clearly yields bad or worse outcomes for several of the love interests you don't romance. They live less happy lives with people who love them less.
It is abundantly clear there is a right way, and there is a wrong way. Not a "choose your one and only" story.
+1
Going to Andromeda with Annie as best friends, like you've always been, would be pretty awesome
Yes, I agree.
However, the reality is that most people, in most societies, have been mostly monogamous. I'm sure even Dragon59 , who has discussed living the poly lifestyle for decades and is an active proponent of it, would still agree.
Counterculture is by necessity a response to mainstream culture. So naturally, it feels off if mainstream culture isn't even acknowledged.
Granted - I wouldn't change this. Even touching this topic would instantly telegraph an agenda being preached in Eternum here, which would really dilute the message it's really focused on and change its tone.
Eternum's focus isn't about promoting poly. It's about manhood. It's about living with courage, kindness, and generosity. It's about loving with all your heart, by protecting your lover, caring for her, desiring her, accepting her unconditionally, always seeing her as beautiful, risking everything for her, being ready to sacrifice yourself for her. It's about being a man, when you didn't have a good male role model to teach you.
The weirdness remains a natural consequence of this choice however.
ez. The price of oil plummeted worldwide after Eternum was so astronomically successful that transportation and industrial production plummeted. Also, President & Philanthropist Mike Stabby funded breakthrough research on hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and also discovered a Reptilian lair harboring already-distilled oil in the amounts of 10x the world's previously known supply, as well as highly advanced energy harnessing technology that made oil refinement 50x more efficient
There's a major plot reason for houses in Kredon being pretty cheap all factors considered. But to say what it is would be huge spoilers. Son of Durin already knows.
Yeah, just like how when adults were scrunching their noses at Harry Potter hitting the theaters, until the director for Goblet of Fire explained that it was a great portrayal of pre-WWII fear and denial
Wands, wizards, corporate suits, swords - irrelevant. Those are just the clothes a story wears. The poster who said realistic characters are necessary, not realistic settings, nailed it.
Completely agree on the observation and sentiment but disagree on the prescription. Eternum's perfect the way it is.
The choices do serve a purpose. It's just that that purpose is not branching storylines.
The purpose is to put focus on those key decisions, actions, and words that makes a man who he is.
The choices and their outcomes show you the difference between a man who takes action to do what is right, and a man who is controlled by fear. Between a man who truly understands what loving a woman means, and a man who is too self-absorbed to truly receive her.
Orion's special abilities and plot-crucial attributes are his LEAST extraordinary features. What actually makes him extraordinary is his character, which is larger than life (for a teenage young man, at least).

Agreed 100%... though I must admit... it's funny to see Orion jumping like a scaredy cat, I'm a bad person I know!!
How did you write over a thousand comments on here while playing only 2 3d games, pretty impressive.
I can heavily recommend Out of Touch. It's more of an anime look, but if you don't mind that you'll find a very fun story filled with happy slice of life moments, deep character drama and even some cosmic horror. It also has a lot of content already and if you go through reading anything you'll have at least 30 hours to play.
If you are looking more for something that looks like eternum niichans games are pretty good (My bully is my lover and sicae). They are a lot more drama focused though.
If you want purely more fun slice of life hanging out with your happy harem, harem hotel does that very well.

I remembered another few, Melody (Mr.Dot Games), Picture Perfect, Secret Summer (both by SuperWriter) Acting Lessons (I warn you about this one, game is real good, end is... controversial. If you are really emotional, SKIP it. I will mess you up),I can't find Lancester Boarding House here in F95ZONE, so I guess it was deleted. Thanks for that though. And seriously, stop before your head explodes

This is part of why branching sucks, and I wish the "OH NO MAH IMMERSIONS MAH CHOICES MUST MATTERS" crowd would stfu.
I mean, sure, it's fine with a professional JRPG built by a studio team, but for an indy developer that can only squeak out an hour or so of content in a calendar month (if we're lucky!) it's just insane. There is no way each route will be fully realized, so they're going to be just enabled/disabled by simple flags and you're going to get nonsense like what you described-- Our Hero talking about how the pussy in front of him is the One True Girl, when he got 2 BJs and a half&half on the way over and there's another girl waiting for him in the parking lot. If there is a single (harem) route the writing can be much more consistent, but an indy developer is generally not going to tweak every bit of narration for every possible combination of flags-- it is just too much work. (And 80% of these devs are basically artists that are begrudgingly writing dialogue, so they hate that part of the job anyway. Not to mention that being artists, they want to constantly add more side girls, which makes the branching even more complicated....)
I get why branching is a thing-- indy devs need money, and the self-insert crowd is a big one. But you have to accept that a small team's branching game harem game will always have writing inferior to a KN, just because it's so much harder.
