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

[Dorfnutter]

Does anyone know the legalities of Carib using licensed franchises like this? Does he have to pay, especially since he is making money from this game?

Most of the assets he uses for Eternum that come from various IP are mods that already exist for HS2. Cari just makes do with it instead of spending thousands just to commission for new assets (which he does but only for a few choice ouffits and maps, some of which are ported from Daz3D).



As for him making money off from the game...well, technically the game is free since Cari can't sell the game off of stores like Steam due to it being made from HS2 (it'll be like if you made a total conversion mod from Skyrim and try to sell it as a new game in Steam, which isn't possible). The only thing viable for him in terms of monetary compensation is if fans of the game financially support him to make the game, which is what Patreon and Subscribestar are for. That way, no product is sold and subs are just simply supporting the dev so he can finish the game without issue.

If you like to understand the story (which is awesome), then yes. There's plenty of content to play it smoothly.

I would ofcouse love to.

If you just want to play for the CGs you can simply download them.

Not super Important, but CGs helps with drawing a better picture, imagination &all that.

If you read everything fast, you can still play it now, wait for next release, and start everything all over again because you'll get addicted like 99% of the playerbase around this thread.

Ah fuck it mane, I usually avoid replays.. I havent even rewatched my favorite movie in over 6years now..

Whateeeeeeeever, I'm gonna burst, play this game. I've already accepted that I'll regret my choice, aaaaaand now I'm over the fact -regretting it in the future to come. See you cowboys.

No one likes Dalia until she says those three magic words: No Gag Reflex.

That's not the only thing she has going for at least...

I must admit when I started playing Eternum I wasn't too fond of Dalia or Penelope at first. They felt like cheap rehashes of Lauren and Judie from OiaL, specially considering the extremely similar vibe of both games at the start: living with them as a long time family friend, highschool adventures shenanigans, etc. But as the story progresses, they definitively take a personality of their own, and proved that initial feeling very wrong. So, give her a chance.

I love all the girls, but Dalia is my spirit animal ✌
edit: I kind of hate how Mc's personality is evolving though, a bit arrogant and scummy

It's definitely a rehash, including the late high school/college harem hentai vibes from characters and situations and many scenes progress just because it's harem hentai, but he got the models right between sweet and pretty and the animations from his last updates are bleeding edge, so who cares.

As far as I know, the average AVN harem hentai is like My bully is my lover, which compared to Eternum is like comparing Zardoz to Star Wars IV. I want to live in the timeline in which Star Wars IV influenced sci-fi and not Zardoz.

Me too, but I'm pretty sure that's completely intentional, and part of the character's arc. Orion's been called out on it by other characters, so Cari is pretty intentional about it. It's definitely not "accidental asshole".

Oh, I wasn't criticizing Eternum there. What I meant is that some characters took their time to develop into their own individuals, so he shouldn't ditch a character just from first impressions.

Quite intentional indeed. Not only was he starting to notice the scumminess in his fooling around with multiple girls without their knowledge, but Idriel's lecture at the end of 0.7 made it absolutely clear. There has been speculation by people in this thread that repercussion and redemption for this are part of 0.8. We will see though.
As always, refer to Dorfi for exact quotes, me lazy

I thought Calypso looked a little bit different in the sneak peek but can't put my finger on why. Saw somebody mention she looks drunk and that makes sense.

My prediction: She's not used to drinking alcohol and it turns out she gets horny from it, and like any teenager getting drunk for the first time she's bad at handling herself when drunk. She throws herself at Orion but with him being a gentleman, he softly rebukes her advances. When she sobers up she's very grateful that she wasn't taken advantage of by a mere human in her moment of weakness, and this cements her feelings for Orion, possibly setting up a proper sex scene with Calypso in 0.9.

She could also become angry while drunk because she was rebuked despite being a Princess and Orion would have to handle that Situation then...

 

[Dorfnutter]

She's not used to drinking alcohol

Didn't she berate the innkeeper back in 0.5 during Orion's bleeding incident BECAUSE his alcohol didn't live up to her impossible standards?

NP, I mean it looked like a rehash to you because it is Both games share the same beginning (same "mother", "sisters", family situation...), it's definitely not a coincidence. Character development differed though, like Nancy being similar but more dominant, none of them is a carbon copy between both games but there are more similarities than differences.

I hope it's begin Blowjob scene

You can tell sleep is being lost in the mad rush to the finish line.

The lighting on this shot is so flat, I'm guessing Caribdis is prioritising his efforts right now, and a tertiary character doesn't warrant the same attention to detail as Dalia (who is lit beautifully in these previews).
