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

[Ungawa]

I for one still haven't had the Time to play OIAL, I know it exists and that it may have something to do with eternum but I didn't get to it yet. I know you people here make jokes about someone named "stabby mike?", I guess he like to stab people

Stabby is one of the greatest Deux Ex Machina plot devices in the history of game devices. You think you're just finding out a person who happens to almost stab you but because Cari needed him a BUNCH of times, he becomes a serious WTF machine by the end of the game.

He's not the only one like that though. More than half of the girls are just side pieces while only two or 3 are really needed at all because they follow you EVERYWHERE. You get skeletons of a great game that really needed some fleshing out like Eternum and when you play it, you find good pacing, good story, and decent writing that makes you shake your head at the logic and gaps that had to be filled in due to the transition to Eternum.

 

[Ungawa]

Well damn... Guess it's my turn...

If you don't mind playing a game that looks like it was made using a potato laptop* and you can forgive its somewhat slow start, then I suggest giving it a whirl.

*this isn't a joke, btw

Our immortal Mike! I was so laughed when he appeared everywhere, especially in the casino, as if he were a famous mafioso

It was an absolute diamond in the rough but yeah, Eternum wouldn't be the game it is today if it wasn't for the lessons and feedback Cari had gotten while working on OIAL.

You mean the scene in the yakuza meeting in Japan? I don't remember him in a Casino, but entering as a mafioso happens in that scene.

I don’t remember exactly how it was, since I’ve been finished playing for 2 years already but I remember one moment when everyone was sitting in the casino and decided to introduce Mc to everyone, and then Mike suddenly appeared

It was at that Yakuza meeting, he took over one clan (by most likely eliminating its oyabun, wakagashira, shateigashira and its saiko-komon) and renamed said organization as the "Stabby clan". All in a matter of days. Talk about that man's lethality.

Yeah. Thanks for reminding me. What a spectacular appearance

At that moment I thought, is this really the dude I pulled out of prison? he looks so funny, but in reality he turns out to be ridiculously smart!

Both Dorf and ArDzer answered for me, but it was the Yakuza meeting I remember that part perfectly because I played OIAL recently so I had no doubt about it.
Also if you look at the scene, the MC and Mike make the same appearance and have almost similar suit and shoes, it was hilarious...

 

[Ungawa]

Yeah, the equivalent of S. Mike is more so Chang being so capable of Heists but not IN Eternum.

What Cari truly learned from OIALT is the ability to make a diverse cast and allow someone to fail and gain growth. Too many characters would only get strengths to the point that they were Mary Sues or overlapped niches in the story.

The only one that seems utterly useless is A--...

*pauses*

*Looks around*

Spoiler: *A certain female comes out of the darkness magic in hand*

Blushing cheeks are always wonderful for me, especially in Eternum they are cutely involved, It's like looking into Puss in Boots puppy dog eyes.

Hey Mashiba how ya doing?

Wait, you're supposed to be in the boxing world, not the Eternum one. Uhm... You know you're the Grim Reaper and everything and I even saw your fights. Look, you got long arms and such. And you got that Flicker Jab. But...

Spoiler: Hey, look, it's your sister Kumi with Ippo!

Like that time when Carolyn used those same puppy eyes against Annie and the protagonist when they wanted to drink her milk.

Spoiler: She would've given to those two this look if they had ignored her and just done that

She did do that, I'd forgotten...
And Nova's dad needs a new pair of lucky oven mitts.
These two facts are completely unrelated.

*Sends out frantic text from a secure location*

*ahem*

The word that needs to be stressed is *seems* and I wasn't going to say... Her.

I couldn't finish my sentence but I was saying "The one that seems utterly useless is All the ones against the harem"

Yeah, that's it...
