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

[quorkboy]

Story at Warthogs seems to heavily imply that private servers are just sold/given to users and they pretty much do anything they want with it (likely comes with stuff like server access and being able to set up the password for entry). This likely is not the case with public servers like Ion or Andromeda, where you can likely buy land/property/equipment/vehicles/mounts and set-up your business and shit but nothing more beyond that.

And even if you do own a server, you can't "change" it beyond what's logically allowable. Like, you could probably build a settlement and/or locations and set rules for players to follow. But if you plan to go full dev mode and change it completely (like, warp the environment or turn it into a different kind of server (like, if it was sold to you as a sci-fi server but now you want it to be revamped as a full-on fantasy server)), then that's likely not possible.

It would make sense that a server owner cannot do whatever they want, such as making themselves immortal, or creating challenges that players could never win. That would be unfair. Even if they were building their own servers on top of base code (so they could make whatever world type they want, fantasy, sci-fi, cyberpunk, …), rather than being given/sold one with a predefined world type by Ulysses, the base code would not be theirs to modify, and would contain restrictions on what they could do in their own code.

A good hacker might be able to decompile the code and modify it, and get the modified code installed on their server, but Ulysses would have systems in place to detect servers running with base code modifications. The server would be swiftly shut down and the player banned from Eternum.

Who Made The Servers?

One of the central mysteries of Eternum. It's feasible that Ulysses created everything. But it's been at least hinted that users can create servers. I don't remember specifics, but something was said about it being expensive, requiring specialised hardware, and extensive programming knowledge, so only a select few are in a position to do it. A small server like Dalia's might be easier and cheaper, and more likely to be made by a regular user (one who is financially comfortable, no doubt, but not necessarily wealthy). But why? Didn't she win the server? Why would a user make a server like that, then give it away? But Ulysses making and giving away small private servers as incentives for people to play, that makes sense.

Annie had mentioned in the very first server that creating a server is expensive etc. However I dont think Annie really knew what she was talking about and these may just be rumors she has heard. I am far more inclined to believe the strange guy we met at the party so I do not think regular users can create servers. Additionally the game seems to be leaning more towards fantasy as of the last couple of updates - we had that stargazing scene with Alex, the scene with the strange guy in the party and the reveal with Thanatos at the end of the last update. All of this makes me think there is a bit more to it.

I am certain there is a lot we don't know, and more to Eternum than has been revealed. But I wouldn't pin my conclusions on cryptic statements by a guy we met at a party. He clearly knows something, but we never had the chance to find out what.

I don't know that we can say the story is going in any clear direction, re: fantasy vs cyberspace. So far, everything happening could be explained by either.

Yeah I do get that as well. That was a very personal matter to her. Something she'd do only to people who she trusts enough as well.

Just finish the game or update, Man what a ride, this game is massive improvement of their previous game OIALT, the joke are less but much more funny and get a laugh out of me more(I love tachos super spicy scene, and Michel Darksoul reference, that shit was hilarious), and the 3d model are awesome, I know that the DEV are pushing it hard to get this result, the only game before I play this that I consider good looking game are Being A DIK, The_DeLuca_Family, The_Office, Treasure of Nadia, but this game is something else. lately I play game just to relax are not just fab and be done with it, So this is the few games that actually make me feel something whatever it's a joke or fear (Get a picture of girl mom). all and all 9.5/10 GG

Who Made The Servers?

Isn't it obvious?

Spoiler: They were all made by the same world creator:

Btw it's not Chang who throws the party, I'm pretty sure it's Dalia's boxing opponent who overhears the password and throws the party. Just want people to know that even in these alternate universes, my boy Chang would never betray us.

I inferred, obviously incorrectly, from what I knew. I never checked that path because I had no interest in knowing what would happen if I betrayed Dalia's trust. I should have known better than to think Chang would do something like that.

I personally think she's hot so hopefully there is another encounter/scene with her later

 

[Takkatakka]

I don't know...I'd rather have a scene or two more with the LIs that already are in the game instead of a scene with characters we hardly know.

Agree. But I think scene with that insane egyptian girl was really hot. But we have enough poor LI's that didn't get to know MC's dick.
I think that on the beginning of a AVN developers make a sex scene with a throw away character to satisfy the interest for game. He can, but doesn't have to if the game is good as it is. At this state of development I think developer should concentrate to current LI's.

Same, and I think getting side girls' scenes is less and less likely to happen as Orion get closer to the LIs anyway. Even if we get a side girl, the scene will probably include one LI (or more), like in the Maat scene. So far Eva has been the only LI-free scene, and it happened at the very beginning of the game (v0.1) when Orion was not close enough to any of the LI for a scene to happen with any of them (without feeling forced at least).

Current 0.6 Progress Status (posted hours ago):

View attachment 2609866

Guesstimate is sometime in July (for highest Patreon tier) based on current dev progress speed (4-5% per week, 6% if dev is feeling a little motivated).

Sure, I'll shamelessly piggyback off this post...

SanchoMod Eternum [0.6 update] - 0.69%

Progress speed (0.0-0.1% per week regardless of motivation).

BUT... for v0.5... go get you some.

So good it can't be listed in the VN's OP.

Sure, but that scene as well as the 1st fuck scene right at the beginning are pretty much just in the game to remind the player that there will be sex later down the road, while the scenes with the actual LIs can be slowly build towards. It is somewhat of a "Have your cake and eat it too" situation.

And first sex scene also should remind Annie not to let MC out of sight because he will find a hole or two...

They can bring her and some of the other more attractive side characters in on an adventure to there server "Orgygia" when MC gets accidentally sent the wrong place again. They'll be in a brothel were Regina is a sub, run by saggy tits.

As a feedback, I would like more "clothed" sex. All the game we got teased with lingeries and sexy dreeses haha. I think I wouldn't be too hard to find a excuse/situation to have sex with Nancy with pantyhose for example, as she wear it almost all the time.

One final question, is there any ETA for next update?
