yea it's just renders but they gotta do the costumes, poses, lighting, environment, etc...they have A LOT to do because this game needs constant asset development / finding to be produced.
Look for example at the Penelope photoshoots...that entire encounter used pretty much 100% new assets besides the characters.

"uzpdate" your grammar...

I think he’ll transport himself to Eternum and like logging out from Eternum all your ailments are “healed”. (For the next time you log in). Or his powers activate in the “real” world allowing him to heal

Especially with all the Eternum world bleeding into the “real” world we’ve seen so far.

I really hope it isn't a multiverse version or a clone lol I had a hard time dealing with it with farscape I don't know if i could handle it in this too... Not to slightly spoil farscape

 

[TheRealWimzy]

I found this version's ending very strange since there were no choices with the bandits.
Did you see what that girl who is inside the Eternum universe said to him when he was bleeding... that he was too greedy and that this was the end for him!!!

I actually was kinda left with the same feelings during that cliffhanger.
But i was sitting there afterwards thinking, considering the fact that Eternum is almost basically leaking out into the real world,
i'd imagine that somehow something fantastic will happen.
We are the chosen one.

 

[Jarulf]

Maybe we'll get to meet those scary ladies in our dreams asking us for help, now that we're dead.

And I'm probably forgetting something that's happened with them, because that's what I do

 

[Dorfnutter]

i'd imagine that somehow something fantastic will happen.

This game shares the same universe as "Once in a Lifetime" (which takes place more than a decade before the events of this game) and one of that game's big reveals was that magic exists even in the real world (albeit in a low/urban fantasy esque manner). So magical shenanigans eventually happening is highly likely (if not next update then maybe even a bit later).

Honestly summoning Calypso to the "real" world would be a great solution too. Could see Caribdis going for that. Or he goes to Eternum and she finds him using her senses.

If Cari doesn't want to spend a lot of the next upgrade without the MC, he has to pick up the story with Orion pretty early. I wouldn't be too surprised if the game starts with Orion waking up somewhere in Eternum.

 

[jefi2000]

I mean, as long as Cari doesn't end the update with a cliffhanger worse than the last one, I think we'll be fine...

...if not, well...

I highly doubt it, certainly not a perilous cliffhanger this time anyway. Cari is actually a decent writer, and if he's following the archetypical "hero's journey", which it certainly seems like he is, this is the part where the hero is at their lowest, arrogance set in and slapped them down and the next episode will see some level of struggle but coming out of the other side with a newfound strength and renewed belief, but with a now deeper understanding of themselves and what they have to do.

Perilous cliffhanger after perilous cliffhanger is a cheap cliché, Cari actually has legit writing talent.

Perilous cliffhanger after perilous cliffhanger is a cheap cliché, Cari actually has legit writing talent.

I would also point out that most of Cari's cliffhangers haven't actually been perilous, per se. It only feels that way because the latest two cliffhangers have felt more dangerous than the others. Being confronted by Bardot and being shot and left to die are pretty perilous. But when Benjamin's death was revealed, Calypso showed up, someone was knocking on the door before the heist, Orion meeting the Founder or the revelation that Thanatos was a dead man? Those were great cliffhangers, but not ones that put Orion or anyone else in a spot of any real known danger. They stopped the action are a precise narrative point to increase tension before the next release. Cari isn't just putting his characters in danger in order to sweep in with a dues ex machina to get them out again. Each cliffhanger has been a little different in both how it's set up, and how Cari plays it off. It'll be really interesting to see what he does with this one.

 

[kuriAUS]

Guys the next update was leaked by some serious hackers, and I got to see the next update's ending:

Orion trips and fatally impales himself onto a giant metal spike. The spike for some reason explodes and Orion's body is scattered into a pink gory mess. The story seems to be definitely over with the main character obviously dead.

Then a narrator breaks the 4th wall and says "Orion seems to be dead... or is he? Tune in next time- on DRAGONBALL Z!"

*theme plays*

 

[DougsLeftNut]

Well... there is someone who is ready to become a temporary MC...

Some would say Chang has been the real hero all along.

So I hope something good comes along.

I also believe that this platform must already be almost born in our real world, perhaps with 3D masks or some chip connected to our head or skin... I've seen everything in technology, I need to research and see if something like this already exists.

He warned people on Discord a while back that 0.8 was going to have a scary-ass cliffhanger, only to reveal that he moved that cliffhanger to 0.7.



And now he's saying 0.9/0.10 is going to have a massive one too. But given how he likes to shuffle things around, there's the potential danger that said cliffhanger will show up as early as next update instead. Hence my worry.

Everyone gangsta until Cari puts a massive cliffhanger on each update moving forward.

Guys, my friend who sails the high seas is asking how long it took for 0.7 update to leak after it came out for demon lord tier members?

Several seconds.

Last 2 updates were leaked a few hours after it got out, mainly by some DL patrons who finished the update then leaked it after. With luck, same thing could happen again next update.

God damn game is perfect!!! But I'm a little bit upset that dialog in the end not changing if you have only one girl or even 0, it still says "You became arrogant, intoxicated by power, by WOMEN..."

Yeah, it is very set in the canon harem route, everything else is pretty much a deviation from the expected.
