November? 7 months break between episodes? Whoah.
I miss good old times, when Caribdis was releasing new episodes of Once in a Lifetime every 2 months.

yeah but the quality is way better than Once in a Lifetime. Which i'd rather wait for quality than another Once in a Lifetime I never liked Once in a Lifetime besides the comedy.

Bro "skimmed through" a 20 hour+ game in 5 minutes. Please give it an actual try, it's practically impossible to dislike it.

HS2 takes more time to render and the story is more complex here than in OIALT, so those days will never come back.
6-7 months is pretty staple for Caribdis, AFAIK.

Hello Guys, Im just playing and I noticed that Orion is connecting to the Eternum without the device and doesn't even know it or realise it after coming out. Whats going on? Did I misunderstand the situation or is he just that absent-minded like me?

And Do we know how much is left of the story?
I love it to death but I can't play 2 episodes a year for 10 years.

Thank you, But my question is how is it possible that he doesn't realize it?No you are not absent minded. Remember his capability comes from a 100% match to the implant.
He just came out of eternum after sleeping and went to Annies room like nothing happend.
Last estimate I saw was something like 12-14 updates total. We're at update 7 now, with 8 in the works. At an update about every 6 months, expect about 3-4 years, imo.

That is very much intended and yes, MC is just being an incredibly big doofus about it, especially when he talks about it with Calypso. Essentially there are two possible explanations. One is his 100% compatibility, the other that he is one of the (or at least a potential) immortal who can access the worlds of Eternum at will. This could tie into the theory that Orion repeats events in a sort of time loop. There are hints in the dialogue at that.
There is a third explanation with temporary transits that happen to people sometimes. But those are argued to be different iirc.
Total number of updates is currently estimated between 12-14 according to the dev. So sadly not that many more.

We need Professor Dorfnutter's take on this phenomenon again.

Thank you, brother, It makes sense, but seriously what do you mean sadly not that many?
We have to wait 4 YEARS for the endgame.

People get attached to the story and characters, so they don't want the game to end

6-8 years total development time for a big game seems fair to me. Not even that long to be honest.
Big mainstream video game titles made by big teams take 6+ years on occasion so I would consider this timescale as normal and not crazy long when you scale both the medium to a VN and the team to very small/solo.
And yes, maybe, perhaps, possibly, it could be that just a liiiittle bit of attachment may be involved as well
I do want to see the end and epilogue of Eternum though and am excited for whatever comes after. But there were earlier estimates of up to 20 updates and I would not have declined that possibility but it is what it is.

I think the idea is that his brain kinda rationalizes it for a time and he thinks it might just be a dream or that he probably fell asleep with his Eternum gear on etc.
I'm not sure how far you've played, but it becomes more and more clear to him towards the end of the current content that something isn't right.
