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

[Deleted member 5730975]

I must have expressed myself badly...
The thing I was asking is if the content in every update is big or not
Thats why I asked "where did the 0.4 version content ended and started the 0.5 content?" just so I could see how big are Caribdi's updates...

Thanks for answering tho!! Hope I expressed myself better now!!

The changelog is a good indication of how much content you can expect. It is usually ~1200 renders. Given this is a harem centric game and there are very few diverging paths (as in you dont get unique content for choosing only a subset of LIs) updates feel substantial if you choose the optimal path because with each update, you are experiencing almost all the work the dev has done towards it. This is quite different from games that have lots of branching where with each update you experience only a fraction of the work that has gone into it depending on your path unless you choose to replay. Personally I really like that about this game and I really hope this pattern continues.

But yeah as the other person said 0.4 ends when you are about to meet the founder for the first time. At the point shown in the screenshot below:

Waiting for a bunch of updates and playing a ton of content at once might be a good idea though. The cliffhangers in this game are painful (but also fun if you like making wild guesses about the story).

Ok, cool!! Thanks both for answering!!

I might try to do that, but I dont think I'll be able to resist and not play it for 5-6 months when 0.6 gets released!

Man, Orion needs to start to do forearms at the gym, he looks like an inverse Popeye.
And Dalia and Penny in the bed with Orion. I recognize a bait when I see it, Caribdis, but well played.
I can't wait.

Maybe it's a style choice or HS2 engine-related shenanigans? I mean, he's not the only one with Inverse Popeye-tier forearms...

Remember: because of where it was developed, HS2 has an Asian bias, so the thing with the arms may be a shout out to a "Godzilla/T-Rex" enfatuation. At least they don't look like tentacles.

Hello guys, how many milfs or moms in this game?

To maybe more directly answer - each update has given me about 3 or so hours of play time. I don't speed read the text or skip anything - I play at a "normal conversation" pace, not fast-talk, not slow talk, sounding out every letter, just comfortable. I also take time to enjoy the animations for more than a single loop (don't make MC a one-pump chump! )

When I add in potential variations and alternate routes, I get about another hour or so, depending on how many of those there may be to explore. For the time it generally takes to make an Eternum update, I think we get a nice amount of play for the dev time, particularly when you look at the quality of the renders, story and overall game experience (interplay of the music, expressiveness of the characters, mood of the scenes, genuinely good writing with very few typos to distract, etc.).

It looks like you've decided otherwise, but, if you are still considering depriving yourself of Eternum for 10 months to double that play time, it's your call, but I wouldn't.

Playing 3 updates in one go is a much better experience than playing a single update in one go in my opinion. I am probably not going to do it because I lack the patience but if I were patient enough that is exactly what I would do.

Luckily Eternum updates have a shitload of content each time

Updates are pretty long. I play every game that has longer than three months between updates from beginning, after five updates there are few days of play... Normally 1-3 hours per day (time is money... I have barely any time)

And playing the game in one go when it's completed is the best experience

I know this is a long shot and probably i am horribly wrong......Dont you guys think alot of the reviews have a little bit of same style to them?

alot of them contain at least these points or similar
- Best game/best from the developer/developer's make another good one/banger from developer
- Dissing honey select games yet this one is different/doubt about 3d/doubt about honeyselect models.

Well i hope its nothing though, coz i like this game.

A lot of the folks posting reviews prolly just want to rate but don't want to sit down and write their own thoughts so they just look for a template matching their thoughts, modify it a bit, then post.

Granted, some are taken down by mods who comb through the new reviews (mainly some of the one-sentence ones which I've seen before they got nuked. Not all are quickly removed though I believe), likely because they violated the review guidelines or such, so not every "perfect 5/5" review is left unscathed.

yeah they tend to be a bit strange, combing through them you can even see some of them repeat not to mention every 4+ stars review is liked by caribdis while others are not. it comes of as disingenuous and i'd be lying if i said i didn't smell something fishy going on here.

also i don't wanna start a war, but compared to other top titles on this site this game is just nowhere near that level. it's actually insane how well this game is received despite being mediocre at best.

 

[Dylan741]

You're entitled to your own opinion but i disagree. IMO only Eternum and Pale Carnations deserve to be as highly rated as they are.

Let it go, it's a troll trying to stir poop here, don't feed them it's a trap to get reactions.

 

[Uriel ☁]

Caribdis likes all the posts that compliments him, even in this thread.
Go a few pages back and you can easily see them. That's just how he rolls.

also i don't wanna start a war, but compared to other top titles on this site this game is just nowhere near that level. it's actually insane how well this game is received despite being mediocre at best.

Says he doesn't want to start a war, proceeds to start a war lol.

Everyone has their own opinion, I'm unbiased and I've no horse in this race but for me there's Eternum and then there're all the other games. Eternum is so far ahead of all the other games it's something unprecedented.

It has hands down the best story in the market. There're very few other games that have a comparable story, but they tend to be heavy to get through. Eternum instead is always a joy to read through and it never gets you tired because the pace is always on point.

And nobody says enough about the SFX. No game comes close to it, they enhance the experience immensely.

Positive review bombing doesn't exist according to the mainstream media anyway
