The company that made HS went bankrupt so actually HS3 is never happening.

Somebody owns the rights still, so they COULD do something with those rights. But they might be smarter not to throw good money after bad... :shrug:

Implying people don't play on private servers or go solo in Eternum doing combat training or doing physically-demanding stuff.
You understood what I meant... >__>

Jump? Now I am confused. You were talking about people working in Eternum and still feeling the effects, right?
Same would count for menial labor and so you could get buff as an Eternum miner working on some server for your debts, right?
Or is that train of thought too strange for even the Maker of Curses
Am I really the crazy one here?

It was a bit of a leap in logic and a shift in theme. You're not wrong, you just came out of left field.Jump? Now I am confused. You were talking about people working in Eternum and still feeling the effects, right?

Well, I started once again from the beginning, and it is much better than I remember. I'm 100% sure this is the best game made with Honey Select 2 of all time. I was extremely wrong for not placing all the girls in the S tier in the first tier list, and I also have a question. The last time I played chapters 1 and 2 was in 2022 . Were they already animated, or was that added in later updates?

Yeah but...we're talking about doing physically demanding stuff and the feeling you get from it being not so different between Eternum and the real world (aside from the lack of gains). And by physically demanding stuff I meant in a general sense like walking, running, climbing, training, hunting, fighting, fucking...and not something specific like working in the mines or being a corporate wage slave...Jump?

So yes, I'm pretty confused where all of that came from when that's not what's being the focus of the discussion.
If AI tools in the 3D space start showing the gains we've seen in large language models recently, then there is a very good chance that we're going to be able to use blender in the same way as Daz in the near future - where we can click on an AI plugin, ask it do create a prop or scene, and have it do so, with only minor manual adjustments to be made.
There's already ways of using a blender AI mesh tool and Unreal's meta human application to make a whole game ready 3D model in 30 mins - the only problem being that it requires good images from front, side and perspective to base the model from. Cascadeur has great AI tools for animation where you can import a rig and have an animation generated to suit it. It's not exactly user friendly at the moment, but we'll get there, and at higher quality soon.
There won't be an HS2 successor, but when we can use AI to give us the convenience of all the HS2 assets, poses, and animations in a much more robust 3D program like blender, we could really get some fucking amazing AVNs with distinctive art styles and incredible lighting. One person will eventually be able to pump out enough assets for truly custom AVN art to be possible.
This is the dream use of AI for me, not AICG crap, but the ability for a single author to achieve a grander vision on a reasonable time scale.
that's not gonna happen anytime soon lmao dude
I'm more into japanese visual novels, but I think this game is solid as my misgivings are mostly with general western AVN approaches of the main character (not that the JP studios are different with rarely changing what works
).
So without further ado, time to make me unpopular - What I like: The girls are top. Nova is hilarious and the comedy music that plays when she's involved in non-serious moments like during the "conference call" after the first events with Callypso was spot on. The VR MMO approach of Eternum is quite good and reminds me somewhat of Sword Art Online with its realism setting (and chance to die IRL if you die in the game, albeit apparently only under certain circumstances). The mystery server was creepy as F, and I would probably never "touch" this MMO if it existed IRL as I don't like free-for-all PvP as a huge scaredy cat lol. Looking at you Thanatos. The songs during lewd scenes is also something which I think is a cool idea in AVNs (something Japanese ones don't use in these moments) + the general BGM is great.
What I don't like: Alex's idiot brother as a rival feels too black or white as in it seems he only exists to increase angsty drama and the simping level for Orion (from the readers), though I won't deny that I also simply don't enjoy overly hostile "rivals". I hope he either grows up after realizing/accepting that his dad is trash or the truth of his friend's death OR he doesn't overstay his "welcome" in the long run.
Also Orion's haircut. Oh and sorry, but the sex scenes are eh. This has nothing to do with Caribdis, but the general western AVN execution of making the MC into a big thong personified sex god with whom everyone gets "addicted" after the first multisession romp (from what I skimmed through of Penny or Nova's scenes) for lack of a better expression.

If he is from Spain there is a high probability that Caribdis and I share immense love for Vegetta777 since our childhood

That has some valid points, and well, we know for sure that some users have hit it right with their theories on the discord. Speaking of that, you NEED TO BE A PATREON SUPPORTER to be able to interact in the Discord... that's a shitty move

I think that's because of bots/people raiding the server, not to get more Patreon subs

Cari and his moderators made it that way because they kept having issues with bots, raiders, and pirates posting DL links to leaked versions of the game. Sooo, can't really blame them for putting some sort of stopgap to all of that bullcrap.
