I really need to DL and play OIAL so I can get all of the references. After starting with Eternum, though, I'm a render snob! I don't want to regress to the older forms. :LOL:

But, I suppose I must... ;)
Oh, play it it's totally worth it, the story is good and the characters are as loveable as the Eternum's one believe me, sure it's more rough but nonetheless it's still one of the best story driven games I played; even today it can rival some of the more recent ones, imho. (Eternum is on a league of it's own so I'm not counting it in the list of course ;))
Also you will see how greatly Caribdis skills as an author and a developer improved during the making of OIAL. :giggle: :giggle:

Also, I think it's nice to have that extra flavor added to Eternum by experiencing OIAL. We've already had a few "I remember that" moments and I imagine there will be more.

OiaL is the official 4th highest rated game on this forum, you won't regress by much.

I found the MC much uglier in OiaL than Eternum's, more like the typical ugly honey select MC's ive noticed in many AVN's that use those models.

Good news is that you arent trying to bang the MC!

Beyond that, OiaL is worth the play through.
He kinda reminded me like an uglier version of Leon S. Kennedy from Resident Evil XD

Yeah, guys in HS are fucking horrible, even Orion is bad in the first updates. OiaL is a great game but Eternum is a masterpiece and better in every aspect, that's why people are reticent to recomend OiaL after playing Eternum, not because is bad, but because Eternum is really, really good.

Potential LI to MC: "Dude - I'm not interested. Go fuck yourself!"

MC: "What?! I have a mirror you know - I wouldn't fuck me, either."

<MC proceeds to lick his own eyebrows and allow his dick to drop out the bottom of his shorts. Potential LI relents.>

Downloading now and "joined" the thread. I find it odd that, given the age and popularity of the game, its thread is less than half as long.

Was hoping to have some updated titles of things I'm already into to download since I've gotten into four or five well established titles from the beginning over the last couple months and wanted something "quick" as a break, but nothing in my queue is in a good state, and the one that does have an update borked all the old saves by updating their RenPy version, so I'd basically have to replay all my routes anyway.

Thus, as soon as I finish the play through of the established title I started last week (sometime in the next couple of days, probably), looks like I'll be getting in on the Eternum inside jokes and references before the next update arrives.

Given my penchant for collecting bladed weapons, I'm guessing I might like this "Stabby Mike" guy. ;)

release date of v0.6
(sighs and goes in automated response mode)

Current progress bar status as of June 15...

As for news regarding release, I'll just repost what I said earlier to someone wondering when the next update will release...

A release for next month seems likely given this was what he said on Itch.io a while back...

Going by past releases he usually posts the definitive release dates (along with the Changelog) just days before the release of the beta version for the highest tier (which gets leaked here usually on the same day). Sooooo...yeah, just a few more weeks left I think.

I asked ChatGPT for some snarky answers to this. Here's a selection of my favorites:

"Release date when? It seems your inquisitive powers are focused on the wrong target. The answer you seek lies in the recent progress report and estimated timeline. Embrace the wisdom of the past messages! "

"In the realm of whispers and enigmas, the release date lurks, shrouded in mystique. But fear not, intrepid seeker, for the recent progress report and the ethereal whispers of an estimated timeline hold the key to unraveling this enigma."

"The release date, a phantom obscured in the mists of uncertainty, teases the edges of comprehension. Yet, the progress report bestows cryptic signs, while the ethereal whispers of an estimated timeline beckon you to decipher their secrets, guiding you towards the elusive answer."

That one would likely need use of Dorfnutter's "tracking" board. ;)

Ive always wondered why page 1 doesnt have an ETA of next release on F95. or maybe even just a link to the latest progress report post.
Doesnt have to be specific, or could even be "unknown"... but maybe then over time the frequency of the "when update" posts and the inevitable discussion thereafter will reduce

Oh you will love him, best wingman ever ( almost snatch away the title of MC to the MC in some scene, imho). ;) (y)
