Chop-chop is a funny character but it gets old fast, 3 appearances in 5 updates is maybe too much for a joke character.
No.
Also this :
Is Chop-Chop even supposed to be funny? I'm not sure I agree with that, he feels more like a parody of the stereotypical starter city merchant that sells you worthless items. Except in Chop-Chop's case that's not true, he actually offers you (potentially) useful items, so from that perspective he's not a conman and rather an honest seller which makes him grow on you. It even gets to a point where you start to sympathize with his issues such as his son being a disappointment.
And yes, he's supposed to be funny. Don't let people who can't appreciate how hilarious this character is fool you into thinking he's not supposed to be funny. The way he talks and acts is hilarious. I mean he tries to sell three different animals all named Maurice and a bunch of magical sex toys to Orion for goodness sakes. Each Chop-chop's appearance is hilarious AND helpful.

I think his son being a disappointment is just a joke though. But we can still sympathize with him and laugh at the same time. I mean he doesn't seem that much bothered by it so we're good.

There also might be more to him. I mean if every NPC were real people, that would be interesting to learn about the real Chop-Chop before he became a NPC. Or maybe there's something else to learn about him. I'll be fine with him just being a fun seller throughout the entire game but most of us knows what happened with Mike sooo who knows.

Even people who can't appreciate how funny he is can't do anything against how awesome he is.

Sorry, there was just too many people talking shit about Chop-Chop, someone had to say something before you'all start to think he's not an amazing character we need to see more of.

Hi could anyone share ?
It was posted like a while back in this thread...

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 o_O ). 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 :devilish:
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 :p:sneaky:

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 :love:

Remember you can DM me or leave a comment if you need anything from me!
I love you all <3

It even gets to a point where you start to sympathize with his issues such as his son being a disappointment.
Seeing him as a subversion of the usual 'scammy salesman with broken English' is appealing. I like that everything you buy from him is worth buying. Heck, I even paid him full price for the cat (I think this was the one where if you say no he offers half price) because I knew Luna would love it. And I'm certain this is not a game where you have to worry about money. When you need it, you'll have it. That's why when I decided to go with Eva, spending all my remaining Eternals, I got them back.

So I'm willing to give him another chance, only because his appearances so far lead to something with another character that I enjoy (Annie and Luna's reaction to their gifts, Wenlin and the opportunity for naughty sneaky nakedness, Penny admitting she likes to be tied up, which I am hoping plays a part in a later scene between her and Orion).

Chop-chop is a funny character but it gets old fast, 3 appearances in 5 updates is maybe too much for a joke character.

And welcome to Eternum quorkboy.
This resonates with me. I didn't dislike him the first time he turned up. He was vaguely amusing in that 'I can see why some people find this funny' way. But as he kept appearing, I liked him less each time.

Thanks for the welcome!

Don't let people who can't appreciate how hilarious this character is fool you into thinking he's not supposed to be funny.
Can't agree here. This has nothing to do with being unable to appreciate how hilarious he is. I know why he is supposed to be funny. It's a form of humour that doesn't work for me.

I enjoyed the three animals named Maurice and the sex toys. But his overall character is not funny to me. I've seen this character many times. There was a time in my life I'd have found him funny. My sense of humour has changed.

I'm happy that you find him funny. While we disagree, it's nice to see people passionate about a character.

There also might be more to him. I mean if every NPC were real people, that would be interesting to learn about the real Chop-Chop before he became a NPC. Or maybe there's something else to learn about him.
I would like him more if he is something other than a plot convenience which allows Orion to acquire useful things.

Hogwarts was a great scene IMO, lots of fun character moments for all of the characters and good comedy. If you think it's cringe, well, this is a campy sweet happy harem Adult AVN it's supposed to be a little over the top and, yes, at times what could be considered by some to be cringe. This is the intended tone for the game.
I think most everything about it was good – everything to do with the main characters I enjoyed, so all those character moments you mention, yes to those; I liked Wenlin and hope we get to see her again (preferably naked, this time I had her naked as Luna but that's not the same); the comedy in the summoning battle was great, the creepy chapel, Penny and the veritaserum,… a lot to like here. It was the framing of the server I didn't like. I get what you're saying about the tone of the game. I like the tone, and I don't want it to turn into something its not intended to be. But I felt there could have been a better source of inspiration for that server, and to me it didn't fit the tone of the rest of the game.

I think my concept of camp is probably different from yours, because I don't find the tone of Eternum to be camp. It is silly, and sweet, and I love that about it. There is a serious tone to parts of the story, which also works.

But I'm happy to agree to disagree. On balance, this is a top adult VN, one of the best I've found.

Sure I get it, I was just answering to MorallyLucky who asked :
Is Chop-Chop even supposed to be funny?
Chop-Chop is supposed to be funny, as much as he's supposed to be helpful.

I've seen this character many time too, but I can appreciate when it's well done as opposed to when it's not (or less) well done. I laugh when it's well done, and I don't when it's not. Everything you can find on Eternum or in any new stories has also been done somewhere else, it's how it's done that counts. And I just think Chop-Chop's character is very well done, both as a fun trope and a plot convenience. But no matter our preferences, and no matter if people can or can't appreciate it, it's clear that he's indeed supposed to be funny as well as helpful.

Overview:
You’re moving with your best friend to the city of Kredon, home to some of the best schools and universities in the country, to continue your studies. However, in Kredon, there’s only one thing everyone talks about: ETERNUM—the virtual, hyper-reality MMORPG game released a few years ago that revolutionized the world of technology.
With a neural implant that recreates the five senses, it becomes impossible to distinguish between the game and the real world.
Thousands of servers form the network of Eternum: from colorful, magic-filled fantasy worlds to foggy sci-fi cities, no world is beyond reach.
Nevertheless, looking beyond the surface, there's a darker side to this pretty facade: black markets, torture, rape, illegal content trafficking, unlawful assemblies, data theft… Eternum follows the rules of no man.
For some reason, governments turn a blind eye to this; there’s no regulation and no control. Some say it’s because the game is highly addictive, some say it’s because the market moves millions of dollars daily, some say those in power have been bribed, and others say… there’s something else going on.
And you? What’s your role in this story?
Well... That’s up to you now.​

Would you add a train scene to Eternum? The one in OIALT was great. Maybe a train scene in the wild west and perhaps a train robbery?

Interesting... When someone requests a 'train' scene, my mind immediately goes to a place probably not envisioned by the poster. :eek:

I doubt we will see that kind of a train scene in this game. :D For any foreign-language poster (or anyone else) that doesn't know what the hell I'm going on about, look up 'pulling a train' on Google.

Completely down with the kind of scene suggested by the above poster, though. (y)

The harem can pull a train on Orion any day they want to.

To me my favourite part of the Warthogs scene was the hilarious line "How many maidens are in your harem?" after Calypso shows up in the tournament/fight because than the other characters start repeating "Yeah, How many maidens are in your harem?" it to taunt Orion in a friendly way, it was a moment where the girls kind of secretly knew they were in Orion's harem and joked about it and I thought that was super funny.

Chop-chop is a funny character but it gets old fast, 3 appearances in 5 updates is maybe too much for a joke character.

And welcome to Eternum quorkboy.
While the character does annoy me a little, his appearance is a foreshadowing for me that there will be a significant event where MC and the Scoobies will actually benefit from something he has to offer them (necklace for regeneration; a "familiar" to endear you to Luna; and polyjuice will certainly be playing a role somewhere). I think of him as an agent of the Founder, or whomever is attempting to aid MC in his quest, there to drop in and provide some item that will move him along or provide him an advantage. He may even be an avatar for the Founder (or whomever), providing a little "Deus ex machina" to the gang.

So far, we have neither a cheerleader nor a football or baseball team, so that probably isn't in the offing. Although, if a character named Messalina suddenly appears on the Roman server...

[0.6] - Sneak peek #2

A house. A murder. 6 suspects. A strange gathering where nothing is what it seems and where only you can solve the mystery
Will you have what it takes...?

Hello everyone!

In this 2nd batch of previews, I posted a few random out-of-context pics from a scene I've been working on so you can start theorizing what the hell is going on there

Apart from the little quote above, I won't give any extra info about it because I think playing it without knowing much is more fun!

And we also have a pic of our favorite elven Princess because why not

Development is going well, there are already +700 renders done, but still a lot of them to do! I think this one will be an update with lots of memorable scenes, both lewd and story-wise!

I can only thank you for all your support and for being the best supporters ever
Remember that you can DM me or leave a comment if you have any questions!
We keep on grinding!

See you soon and stay awesome!

Would be interesting to see how that scenario plays out. Reminds of the game Cluedo. And thanks for sharing mate.

I think that's because that's what it's supposed to parody. There might also be elements of the movie with Truman Capote too.

So who plays which suspect? And who plays Mr. Boddy (or Dr. Black if you prefer)?
