VN Ren'Py Eternum [v0.8.0] [Caribdis]

[Talishan]

I'm honestly blown away by a lot of these "sex" games... like holy fuck, even without the sex some of these games are better than anything I've ever played in my 37 years of gaming. Adding in these kinds of romantic relationships with tense sexual moments that really in my opinion capture the emotions you feel when still building a relationship with a woman and it's just incredible how many emotions these games can trigger. Like my wife is okay with me being with other women and I still can't recapture any of the emotions that I can experience when playing these kinds of games. There just isn't any pressure or any real intensity for me anymore. I still absolutely love fucking my wife, but the sense of nervous anticipation leading to a heart-racing explosion of disbelief that this shit is really happening just isn't possible for me anymore. Maybe it's because I'm not willing to decieve anyone, though. I expect rejection up front because I'm married and I don't lie to anyone, I mean the overwhelming vast majority of women are going to reject me for that very reason. So I can't possibly land in a situation where a woman's rejection matters to me at all, unlike the MCs in these games. The writing is often bad in "adult" games, but this one I feel is better than most AAA games by far, way more realistic. Maybe everyone I've known my whole life happened to be weirdos, though... no way i could know if that were the case.

Look, that frying pan knocked some sense OUT of some folks.

Then you gotta remember that there's an elf lady who hates POOR on her.

Then you got a mom who's a freak, a gym freak, a photo girl...

The girl next door that knows magic...

The quiet girl who sees dead people...

... And the rich girl that we Christened the house with...

...

Which of them are normal again?

The fact you think a horny mom, a girl who goes to the gym, and a girl that models are equal to a hacking stalker that assaults people says a lot about you my dude. Not to mention for Annie's "quirk" you chose a power she has in a video game lol. These are no where near equal on the crazy index.

Normalcy is overrated. Lewding up crazy is great.

... Unless it's yandere.

The love for Nova on here is just further proof that so many have a real issue following the phrase “don’t stick your dick in crazy”.

Pssht, that's modern bullshit nonsense.

Back when I was in school the going phrase was "Crazy sex is the best sex".

Or as I put it now, "You should totally stick your dick in crazy. Just don't tell crazy where you live. Or give it your phone number. Or your real name."

Hey folks,
Been tinkering with something pretty neat – adding AI voices to characters in AVNs using RenPy, and I started this experiment with Eternum. It turned out pretty well, but here's the thing: quality doesn't come cheap. Just for voicing the first chapter of Eternum, it looks like we're facing a $330 fee with ElevenLabs. Kinda steep, huh?
This is where an idea popped up: How about crowdfunding? If we’re all as excited about bringing our favorite characters to life, pooling together might just make it feasible. It’s a bold move, but just imagine the difference it could make.
For a sneak peek at what this could look like, check out this demo of Orion’s voice:

You must be registered to see the links

. Gives a pretty cool glimpse into the potential, doesn’t it?
Chapter 1 alone has 1,747,273 characters of dialogue. Interested in the nuts and bolts (and prices)? Take a look here:

.
So, what do you think? Is this something we might want to dive into as a community? I’m game for getting the ball rolling if there’s enough interest.
Keen to get your take on this – could we make an AI-voiced Eternum a reality? Let’s discuss below and maybe kickstart something amazing!

Cool idea, but Orion's voice in some of the lines in the sneakpeek seems really robotic to me. I get that it's AI but it's supposed to be immersive and I feel that it's actually breaking from that rather than adding to the immersion with such a robotic voice. Good luck either way though
Edit: really don't know why my reply quoted your message 2 times lol

With a name like 'eternumaivoice' as a username it isn't hard to guess why that person made that account

I didn’t pay attention to the name, because I was surprised by the fact that it was registered on March 3, 2024, 1 messages... it looks funny

did he remove his post?

Could be but a Mod could also have removed it.

The ai voice idea wasn't really my thing but I didn't expect the feedback to be so harsh

 

[Satou Pendragon]

I think it was more that it seemed like he wanted money from other Users, I don't know how much since I didn't look at his links, while his account was made just today and with that particular name so it seemed a bit suspiciousto me at least, that made the feedback so harsh but that's just my opinion.

 

[Takkatakka]

AI voices might very much be the future, although probably less for the MCs of these games. But I would want the developer to use the voices he imagines for the characters.

Also asking for money being the first thing to do here...yeah...not exactly the best idea, I guess.

 

[e6mill]

I typically mute (or the next thing to it) AVNs first thing. Aside from which I have a general distaste for machines talking to me.

I don't mind some of the sex moans (as long as it isn't that godawful stuff they do for Japanese porn), but I don't really like "voice acting" in them - I like to choose the voices that appeal to me and imagine them. It's the way I've always read. Never been a fan of "books on tape" for the same reason.

The couple of VNs I've done with voice acting have often used the "wrong" voice for the characters. In one, the voice used for the "landlady" was probably a 20-something, while the voice used for the 19 year old "roommate" sounded over 40 with a two-pack-a-day habit. I've just turned it off. When it's on the same channel as other sounds, it's a bummer, but if it has its own, it works. Those .wav .mp3 files also take up a ton of space, so the VN gets really unwieldy really quickly without some super-sized compression.

AI moaning would probably be awful
