There's reasonable reactions to the value of work done and there's unreasonable reactions to work done.... You know different people value different things?
I'm really impressed with the visuals this episode too - but how high is that on my personal list of "importance?" Not that high, actually.
Character development (mostly for the girls), and plot are the highest tier for me. I've been playing episode 1 and episode 2 since finishing 0.8... And I have to say, there's a lot more in those episodes. They also have something intangible to them too, there's a purity to it that feels missing from 0.8 (totally a taste thing, not claiming "facts").
0.8, to me, feels bogged down by cramming too much into it. And it's not an embarrassment of riches.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
The episode is much better on the back end. After the New World, it feels like Eternum again, with a better emphasis on Orion's interactions with the three girls covered in the back half..You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
From a narrative perspective (after replaying as much as I could stomach) the episode is divided. I really hated the first half (bar a couple of moments), but the second half was back to what Eternum has always felt like (for me).
it's hard to parse, part of me thinks it's connected to him just being more integrated with Eternum. That he is able to jump based on that. We see another who posses some ability based on their compatibility. Then there is what Idriel said, that perhaps he is doing this through past lives. That he is related to the original usurper or whatever. But then the way she says it actually leads me to believe she is talking about how he is always since joining Eternum surviving encounter after encounter. Narrowly avoiding his fate. Like in the Alley. Like with Thanatos. Besides if he were related what does that make the Founder? How did he get access to all of this? He's the one i believe that is related to someone.Yeah, still trying to wrap my head around why Orion has those "jump" abilities... There's also that Idriel talk about Orion doing the same thing over and over again. Maybe Orion's (and his past 'selves') stuck in a loop of always taking the same decisions. I'm kinda confused lol
Anyway, great update, great game, 10/10. Dev's patreon earnings are totally deserved
i tried really hard to fight it, wish i could hack cause that sounds hilarious.Gotta say, This VN has been one of THE BEST I've played by far and every new update I love the comedy and the storyline, everything that plays out is just masterful. Gotta say when it comes to the new update I love the fact that if you manage to fight the mouse for the other option theres dialogue for it. (yes i did it, i hacked the system) (fighting your demons "player") lmao truly wonderful to see stuff like that in this!
MC & Calypso escaped it seemed like to me.Yo guys first time mc got defeated by thantos he took the gem, this time also mc got defeated so did we lost the 3 gems??
MC is somehow descended from queen Anima. Caly says as much. Probs through our mom who disappeared when we were young. Does that make him a relative of Caly's? IDK. My guess is that Idriel and Than have been subverted by Alex's dad possibly via the NPC control box those praetorians wanted on the old West server or maybe by original design. Dunno how the Founder fits in yet. But he MIGHT not even be a real person (or perhaps not anymore).it's hard to parse, part of me thinks it's connected to him just being more integrated with Eternum.

Personally i think in universe her vision is what is putting her off. Which is a good story beat. it makes sense that she isn't getting scenes if she herself is kinda distant. Plus she's the shyest of the whole group. Something like that needs to be handled with absolute care. it's delicate. Annie likely would've been the same way if she hadn't also been outgoing at the same time. She's hyperactive so she pushes forward. Luna is entirely reserved. Out of universe she is the single most popular character by far i think. Outside of Calypso who is such a special case, i think this is one they really want to take special care for.I haven't played this update (maybe not the last one either?) but let me get this straight... Luna has the fewest scenes, didn't get a 'confession scene' this update, and is the only girl without a full sex scene but to add farther insult some girls have had multiple sex scenes and there was even a threesome before Luna even gets her first one?! Does the dev just not like Luna or something?
This is a consistent problem with harem games, the devs always plays favorites, showering one girl with all the scenes while there's at least one girl with less than half everyone else's.
Whatever, that's...fine. That's good and fine and I'm not upset or bitter in the slightest...
Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go scream into the void for the next, *checks calendar* jesus, nine months. Maybe the dev will remember that Luna exists during that time and finally shows her some love.
Not necessarily. Yliar siphoned some of her powers. Calypso indicates the Immortals would be of Yliar's bloodline, that doesn't necessarily mean Anima is their foremother. Yliar could've just fathered children with human females. It would explain why the Immortals abilities are limited as they inherit stolen powers, rather than genes from the source itself.MC is somehow descended from queen Anima. Caly says as much.
