VN Ren'Py Eternum [v0.8.5 Public] [Caribdis]

[Dorfnutter]

Orion reviving via Caly sounds like the obvious route, but the trouble with that route is that it's the one with hardly any consequences for Orion. Granted, you can make the argument that a possible consequence is that Caly fails in her ritual as a result and that causes a rift between her and Orion. But personally that doesn't sound like a solid reason for Orion to be humbled and become a better person. Better for him to suffer a consequence that affects HIM greatly, rather than something that others will suffer for him.

Personally my preference is either of two routes: either he dies for real and then revives sometime later but with a consequence attached to it that would make him reflect on the gravity of his fuck-up (i.e. learning that he's going to slowly rot away and realizing that the girls are going to watch that happen), or (as I mentioned earlier in this thread) he revives in Limbo and he undergoes a journey of sorts that will make him reflect on his actions and he becomes a somewhat better person out of it, which then frees him back into the world of the living (though with time not having advanced much as Limbo is supposedly a realm separated from time and space).

Ah, sorry mate - I didn't mean to spoil it for you! I just assumed everyone had seen them at this point.

I can see him carrying on the Pirate adventure while "dead", and then logging off to find himself in the hospital or the morgue, confused about what was going on. This way the cliffhanger would be resolved at the mid point.

Or as others have suggested, he summons Calypso and is saved right at the beginning of the episode.

Either way, with how packed the update is, I can't see this dragging on. I am sure Caribdis had to get it out of the way with how much content we have ready for us.

Given that Orion has already visited Eternum while asleep, continuing the adventure while dying would make sense (after all, it's a time-limited thing, so the gang can't wait after he recovers). I don't know how this will play out, though.

1. If he just logs back in, Nancy and Nova will freak out, since he's not with either of them. They will disconnect to find him and rush him to the hospital.
2. If Nova realizes he's late, she might follow him to the pizza place, find him and call the ER. Then Orion finds himself in Eternum, everyone freaks out, but gets the McGuffin, use it to heal Orion and trick the Coyote to get the gem
3. Or Calypso straight up drags him into Eternum, Penny heals him (hope you gave her the right tome!), they finish the quest and he steps back out through a portal.

4. Orion simply wakes up in the Pirate Server and due to plot convenience Nova will already be there waiting for him. Nan could've texted her to log in early because of an emergency and she left Orion a message about it. Orion on the other hand conveniently has his memories in a jumble or he suffers from temp amnesia due to recently being deceased so he goes along with the idea that he must've logged in after coming back to Nova's place with the Pizza...when in fact his body is on its way to the morgue.

1 and 2 are pretty unlikely since Nova and Nancy are looking pretty happy in the pirate server. I doubt they'd be like that if they knew Orion was dying.

No worries. I've seen plenty of previews before, I just missed the ones for this update and didn't look for them.
I didn't mean that you spoiled it for me. It takes an entire scene from start to finish for me to consider something a spoiler.

im sorry to ask but does anybody know if 0.8 is coming this year or the next?

Caribdis' plan is to have the next update released before Christmas. It's not set in stone but I'd argue that it's a pretty strong possibility that his prediction will come to fruition.

Yeah I didn't really think too much about him learning his lesson if Calypso saves him, well beyond him almost dying and all that.

I'd prefer not to go the "rot away" route cause that just seems depressing, unless they can find a way to reverse it... I mean wasn't there something about

The teasers could always be misleading. Maybe Carib put them out to get people thinking a certain way, only for the renders in game to be wildly different.

I mean, 1 or 2 screenshot teasers, sure. But if most of your sneaks generally show the girls being fine and smiling then it really makes you think...

Remember Dorf, Cari is the master of cliff hangers, whats to say he doesn't pull a bait and switch on us, hmmm?

Cliffhangers are fine. Pulling a bamboozle on paying patrons anticipating what those sneaks mean when they actually are fake...yeah, I don't think even Cari would do that kind of low blow.

So when I read all of your theory, I made this one:

I agree, I don't think Cari would do that either, it would cause a manure pile stink that would never go away.

I don't think Cari would dare ruin everyone's Christmas with a cliffhanger, right?

Otherwise, everyone would look like this at Christmas:

This is all ok of course, but what I laugh at most is their reaction to his comments

 

[Darnbob]

Kinda sucks how each update is taking longer and longer, I remember when earlier updates were 4 months max. At this rate are we gonna be down to 1 update/year for their next game?
