We all know what we did at that scene in the game, but if this happened to you IRL, (consider Alex as your crush with similar character), how many of you actually have the guts to speak up at this scene? I'll be honest, I don't think I do.

It wouldn't have happened to me because Alex is too pretty and out of league for me IRL.
Let's say, for the sake of argument, that if I was lucky enough to have her as a girlfriend or date her, and this scene had happened ... well I can assure you that the father would have needed the wheelchair for the rest of his life, in case I'd been holding back... :)

Are sure I'm not able to show statistics which prove my point?
Then you should've done that in the first place instead of basically countering "trust me bro, I know what I'm talking about" and sounding like a privileged elitist who thinks he already knows everything about how the world works and anyone who says otherwise is just flat out wrong.

"But sure, let's blame those students players who were forced to drop out because of factors that they have no control of."
I'm sorry but I couldn't help.
Imagine thinking that a player being locked on two choices in a porn game whose author has a story to tell is remotely comparable to a dropout who stopped schooling because of factors beyond their control or factors that force them to choose not going to school because the alternative (continuing to go to school) is life-threatening or has actual negative consequences from an economic and social perspective.

With that kind of mentality, maybe it was a mistake expecting a decent argument from you.

In my opinion the greatest issue with that scene is the timing: Caribdis has dismissed the entire subplot in a single yoga lesson and with few dialogues to justify the Orion's action, while he should have spent more time (three or four yoga lessons), to achieve the same ending. In this way he could have described in a more detailed way the true nature of that guy, his true intentions with Nancy and doing so, he could have make the players more involved in the Orion's feeling that he must act to protect Nancy from that womanizer. Moreoveer Caribdis could have spent that time to prepare in a better way the punchline: the intervent of the repeaters.
Except if he did that the pacing would've slowed to a crawl as far as Nancy's arc is concerned. Remember, we have 7 LIs (8 if Calypso ends up being a love interest in the future). That means, aside from the main storyline, we have 7-8 separate storylines to go through that touches upon Orion's and the LI's romance progression in both the real world and Eternum. If we lock Nancy in a yoga route while we leave the rest of the LI's progressing as-is then she'll end up having the most uninteresting route out of all of them (unless you REALLY like yoga).

And right from the start the game's already shown to be fast-paced as far as plots and subplots go, so Nancy's would end up being an outlier compared to the rest. Had Caribdis chosen to do a slow-burn story, then maybe, MAYBE your issues with Nancy's yoga subplot would be addressed. But given that he seems to be trying to rectify two of the major issues about OIAL (that being not every LI got a decent amount of screentime and the issue about the slow pacing) and that even now some people are complaining that the story is a bit slow (like, go back to the past few pages, there's actually someone who's asking if the pacing is going to stay the same) EVEN if it's noticeably sped up compared to his past game, then yeah, can you even blame the guy?

I’ve always had a soft spot for the bitchy popular girl who secretly has a heart of gold but because she’s a teenager she is too caught up in the mess of school life and doing what others want her to to be popular. Not saying she is that, but I wouldn’t mind if she was and we get to steal her away from Axel… and learn first hand if her tits are saggy or not.
I genuinely feel that this is a punchline that's being set up and is going to unravel in a future update...

...and I'm already dreading the day that it finally happens. DX

When I was ten years old I defended a boy bullied because he was crippled; I practically became his bodyguard.
When I was thirteen years old I faced alone three bullies two years older than me.
So what would I do in that situation?
:unsure:

Well, we all kinda like play visual novel because here we can do something that we can't in real life , some of us have some fantasy or desire to something which we full fill through it , at least that's the case for me
And yeah you are totally right here , as I am not a very brave person, and yeah i can only imagine having someone as hot as her to be my friend.

I'm sure I would stand up to him. Not because I have the guts tho, but because when I get angry at something unfair I don't have the brains to know better and not stir up problems, even though I weight like 55kg and I'm totally getting my face kicked in. XD

Alot more then you think, i once punched one my exs dad in the face for hitting her... I'm sure im not the only one that would step up either, as men we have a natural instict in us to protect those we love... I'm not saying lots would punch someone like i would but alot would interven in their own way (either by saying something or stepping in between them to make a distance) rather then standing idly by and let it happen.

Even those who think they wouldn't do anything, probably would do something they just don't think they would becuase they've never been in that p[position before, its one thing to talk about what you would do then another when actually in that postion with emotions running wild and no time to really thing about your actions/analyze the situation and etc

A decent human steps up, simple as that.

I stood up to my father in law to even marry my wife. He couldn't stand me because I was the only person, not boyfriend - person, to ever stand up to him and not jump to do what he said. Redacted years later it still happens, as recently as Saturday when they were visiting I asked him for his drivers license and said "Hmm, just as I thought - this isn't your address, you don't live here and have no say in what happens in this house"

Damn, started that game a couple hours ago, had it for a while without trying it for whatever reasons, it's damn good, love the flow, the characters, the humor, the plot... was wondering why it looked like Once in a Lifetime, well duh...

Haven't finished it, can't wait for the next update already, great content.

Edit: Oh, and the music !

Patreon progress report:




[0.4] - Progress report

Hello everyone!

Another month begins, and I'd like to tell you how thankful I am to you for sticking here with me. I understand months between updates are not so "rewarding", so thank you so much for your continuous support, which helps me make Eternum better, improve things, or purchase more assets with every update. You guys are the best

And talking about improvements! I've been working on the Bios Screens to add a new feature that I wanted to show you.

  • As you can see in the video (you can't see the mouse when recording the screen, but you can see what I'm clicking, more or less), now you have the possibility to skip pages 10 by 10 with a new ">>" button. Also, when you go past page 10, the range of pages at the bottom of the screen changes too, making the possibility to save and navigate through multiple pages much more convenient.
  • On the BIOs of each girl, now you can see all her different looks displayed during the adventure (clothing, hairstyle, etc.) You can cycle through them with the left/right arrows of the keyboard or the mouse wheel. (swipe left/right on Android).
  • These looks will be unlocked during the playthrough. Depending on your choices, some of them might be missed, so it can be fun to "collect" them all.
  • When you enter the BIOs of one girl, a random unlocked look is selected. If you click on the girl, you'll see a complete list of all looks for the current girl, and you can select the one you want to see. Locked looks will appear as a "?", so you can see how many there are without spoilers. (as I show you at the end of the video starting a new playthrough).

About the content of the update, everything is looking good too. I already have a fair amount of renders and dialogues, and I'll keep working hard on it (I expect a size similar to previous updates). I'll share more info/previews later this month!

And I think that's pretty much everything I wanted to share with you today. As I always say, my DMs are always open. I hope you like the new features, nothing groundbreaking, but it can be cool to see more and more looks as the game progresses.

Thank you for all your support

Stay awesome

Love ya

Me: While the character bio improvements are nice, I'm not sure if the game even needs the clothing swap feature-

Brain: Intriguing. First, he utilized a map system for Warthogs (just like he did with the Japan village in OIAL but much improved). Now he's adding a clothing system for girls which could double as playtesting for an equipment system in the next game.

Me: Uhhhh...your point?

Brain: There's a chance that Caribdis is playtesting systems that could be used for a VNRPG*.

Me: ...Now that's just reaching-

Brain: Watch. He'll add more QTE battles in the future but they'll be less "press the button as it appears" and more akin to an actual turn-based system.

Me: ...Okay, can you stop overanalyzing and hyping me on things that're unlikely to ever happen, please?

Brain: NEVEEEEEEEEEERRRRRR!!

Finally getting into the game a bit and went to the gym. I think Millie needs to make an advance on MC in the shower room at some point...

And, after seeing Nova's intro to the game and her little bio, I wonder if one of the other girls has a taco spicy enough for her to try. screenshot0002.png
