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

[thorin0815]

There is a lot dev trying the easy way out

A lot of developers probably underestimate the importance of a good storyline since it's "only" adult/porn content. When I found this forum I was also just looking for an alternative to the usual adult sites, but before long I found the standard landlady simulators pretty boring and now I'm more interested in the plot than anything else.

Also, a good storyline is not something so easy to write. It takes some damn specific competence and even that sneaky virtue of a good inspiration. It's not like "i set those parameters for rendering, so i get this level of quality, and i set a good story rather then a lame one". Both aspects take their own set of skills and expertise. And even if a dev has a good story in mind, actually deploying it is a tricky business, because you need to deal with the right pace, make the characters likeable, even the antagonists, and write good dialogs. Sure not easy.

Now i don't know what kind of staff Caridbis has and how the competences are split, or if he works alone, but so far he menaged to excel under every expect of the game making process. No wonder he's accomplished here.

Hi guys, played this game and have so much fun. Nice atmosphere and characters design, interesting story. Anyone can give me advice how to find tracks, used in 18+ scenes? in love with this music and voice of a singer.

If you're talking about the scene with Annie, the song is Run Boy Run by Snake City

I imagine that using Honey Select instead of Daz3D cuts down on development time, because even though you still need to pose and stuff, you can basically skip the render step that takes a lot of time with Daz3D.

Not to take away from Caribdis' work though, because their games are easily the most visually appealing Honey Select based games I've played. Their games are definitely in my personal top 5 at minimum on this whole site.

Do people generally prefer Daz3D over Honey Select? Personally I find most Daz3D models very unappealing since they have this dead look to their expressions in still images. I actually didn't play vns with 3D renders like this at all for the longest time, because the first ones I tried were Daz3D and I thought all of them were like that.

I generally prefer HS to Daz. Most of my favorite games are made with HS ('cause I like the HS style).
Also I think it is easier to fuck up your images with Daz. Can still happen with HS but that has to be almost intentional
But both have crappy looking games and awesome looking games depending on experience and commitment of the dev(s).

I certainly don't, I don't care what the graphics are made with as long as the story is interesting. If I want to see sex scenes that are as real as possible, I'd rather go to the hub anyway.

If I had the choice of what a developer uses, I would probably choose HS for selfish reasons, because updates from HS productions usually take less time and are larger than when DAZ is used.

I prefer whoever can do a good job with the program they have chosen. I have seen amazing work in Daz and Honey Select and absolute crap in both. A skilled creator can make a good game in whatever platform they are skilled at using, just like I would make a complete trainwreck out of any of them

They're probably my fav non-female as well, although Mr. Hernandez is running close behind.



Poor Chang, started out looking like the #1 non-MC male, and is now overshadowed by a couple of thugs and a Dad character!

Micael of the Boreal Valley just SLAYED ME ahahahahahahah! Caribdis always has the best memes!

Yeah you're right I totally forgot about Luna dad. man that scene really caught me off guard and Luna server also give some chilling vibe after I was done with her investigation mission I was like "did I really just play a porn VN game or a horror game" like I say in my opinion Caribdis really pull another masterpiece

 

[PervySageKem]

Yo! In the walkthrough... Are we sure it isn't better to NOT perv on Dalia? It's hard to believe that's the correct play man.

 

[PervySageKem]

Well! I just finished the content available... And I can confidently say, after playing this and Once in a Lifetime, there isn't a single developer that can even touch Caribdis toenails.

The difference, the gap, the absolute canyon that exists between Caribdis and the second best dev, whoever that maybe, is so enormous that we cannot measure it.

Holy. Fuck.

I'm talking about Character Design, Setting Design, Background Design, Sound Design, Animations, Character Personalities, Character Backstories, Humour, Light-heartedness, Stressfree.

It's absolutely insane. The amount of high quality work put into this... I can only say thank you.

If I weren't a degenerate without a job, I'd subscribe to your Patreon. Every single coin you get is more than deserved, I'm in awe at the standard you put all other games/visual novels.

Yea, the plot is important, man.

 

[PinkiCannon]

After finishing OIAL I'm excited to try this one

 

[PervySageKem]

BTW, it already has two chapters and it feels like Once In a Lifetime only finished one or two months ago.

How's the release schedule for this game? I need in my fucking veins.

0.3 is at 12% completion as of Sunday I think, and it was at 6% two weeks earlier. Doubt this will be a linear progression, but it'll be a few months to go
