Still better than what I would ever be able to do with the same tools.One month I'm not so sure about that because this is what Alex looked like after I tried to animate her yesterday

From what I can recall...
Add Clonk is actually Pascal from Nier: Automata and one of the items displayed at the Collector's house was the Portal 2 gun I suppose.
Logical explanation is that since these are modded assets that already exist in HS2, Cari just did the economical thing and repurposed said assets in his story to save time and patreon funds that he could use elsewhere (i.e. commissioning modders to make custom maps, port stuff from Daz3D to HS2, or create non-HS2 mod assets that would still be useful to the story (i.e. Nova's manga, Slide art for Caly's backstory)).
From a story/lore perspective...well, the Andromeda tapes in 0.4 mentioned that the creator/s of Alien got their idea from a dream, yes? And that one of the running theories is that Eternum is akin to or IS the Astral Plane (hence the fact why otherworldly beings and spirits and dreamers are found there), yes? Well if the latter is true, then a plausible explanation is that the assets that we see in Eternum are likely the original concepts or ideas of the stuff that we see in the real world, and that they were brought into the real world by their respective creators who dreamnt of them in a dream. So it's basically a subversion of "Ready Player One" (or, god forbid, "Fortnite") where instead of all these IP from various sources being plonked into this vast VRMMO, it's the other way around.

Yesyes and hopefully they ascend to the heavens after seeing such a "glorious vision" and never come back down in this thread.

Even with HS1 you can achieve very good animations, just like Jestur does with his game (Ripples) but overall HS2 is still an improvement
.To each their own I guessThanks for your reply. Honestly, i have no negative review about animations (sex or non sex), it even get better than before (especially the 'the main dish'). And i must admit, story telling about Calypso's origin at Blackridge (wild west server) is actually a brand new, yet very good approach that Cari gave to us. i appreciated that. And the rest, well, i stay on my opinion. But hey, thanks again
,I will never force anyone to think like me.Still made me laugh to see how it is easy to transform Alex into someone uglier than Ruth

When I saw OIAL, i though HOTTEST GIRLS EVER (MC was meh, but whatever).
Then Eternum came...
Honestly, I don't know how Caribdis keeps outdoing him/her self every time

While you're waiting, you might want to check out Carbdis's older, completed get Once In a Lifetime
The storytelling is stellar, (shorter than Eternum though), and in my own opinion, the visuals are the hottest ever for the honeyselect-type games (sans eternum, of course)

I know Alex was the sick one but when Eva had realized she'd met MC and he had to talk about how they met, this man was sweating bullets more than the butter it takes for a flapjack...

Dorfnutter I got a concept for you that you might just percolate on...
What if Eva has some ties to the Syndicate?

This game is probably in my Top 2 being on par with superhuman, the Fantasy aspect is definitely peak, the way he writes the story is honestly so satisfying and the mini games like the horror map (burned factory) or the "murdered" collector murder mystery. I don't know how he does it but honestly this gotta be one of the best VN on this si- no just out there in general tbh. {This scene was funny too

Did you get that one from Discord? I seem to recall seeing that theory there the other day...XD
Anyway, could work. But personally I'm trying to grasp how a seemingly fuck-it-I'll-do-what-I-want-let's-see-what-happens kind of girl would mesh with a bunch of ghost-like entities who're creepy and cryptic as fuck. But hey, if an ex-convict with a heart of gold can somehow become President of the US of A in this universe, I suppose anything can happen. /shrugs

Nope, just thought of it while I'm playing honestly. I'm not on the Discord at all. Reason I'm thinking she's on the Syndicate take is that she continues to bump into MC despite whatever else. I suddenly thought about the envelope. I think there's a plausible thought she may come up again as a connection to the Syndicate OR a human group we know since she's busy doing her own thing. She's still a wild card but I just can't help shake the feeling she'll be important right along with Annie.

Well if that's the case then I suppose you're not the only person thinking of that possibility, though in the case of the theorist/s at Discord they thought having a prostitute/hooker that's revealed to be an agent either playing for the side of right (Syndicate) or wrong (Ulysses) is a textbook Cyberpunk trope. And we all know Cari has a thing for tropes (lol).
Then again, I seem to recall some people mentioning that they do not like the idea of a missable side girl being elevated into the plot (thus retconning her character as a must-meet character in the first chapter).
Like I said though, stranger things* have happened so we'll see.
*Brain: /starts playing the Stranger Things theme song in my head
Me: /tries to swat it away since I'm already sick of hearing 80's-esque music thanks to that show DX
Edit: Added some stuff and edited wording in first paragraph. Made me look like I was dismissing or downplaying your theory when that was not my intent DX

Running through the game again, now I'm on chapter 1 and already discovered :
1. I don’t know if this can be considered a reference, but these buildings are very similar to the destroyed WTC towers:

2. First Miсaela appearance. Hello Dark Souls

3. The song that MC often hears in his nightmares is a lullaby reworked for Dark Space, and it's really creepy.
4. When Nancy asks MC to clean up, he refers to Admiral Ackbar from Star Wars, whose line "It's a trap" has become a meme.
5. A reference to the MCU and Cap's line.

Likely unintentional, given that some of the maps used for Eternum has also been used in other HS1/HS2 VNs (i.e. the place where Orion meets Nancy for the first time also exists in "Fates Collide," which is set in another city in another universe (and no, the Chang cameo in FC doesn't count)).
Yeah I know. Likely used because of the "star" reference (there's been a lot of that in the game, likely due to "Orion" and all). Also one of my crackpot theories is that the true ending might play the lullaby version of that just to signify that the danger is past and the story is finally over-
/starts getting strangled by brain for sharing another ending theory which it doesn't want me sharing just yet
/taps brain saying "it was just one minor part of the theory, IT WAS JUST ONE MINOR PART-"
All of that is likely just pop-culture reference quotes for the sake of humor and such. Not likely gonna age well, but I suppose that's just how Cari rolls, I suppose.4. When Nancy asks MC to clean up, he refers to Admiral Ackbar from Star Wars, whose line "It's a trap" has become a meme.
5. A reference to the MCU and Cap's line.
This is not all of course, there are many more.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
/glances at OIAL's dialogue and constant referencing of TV/Netflix shows in the first chapter
