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

[docjorge]

Everything about Eternum is amazing. The artwork, the animations, the story! this doesn't belong on the standard 5 star rating scale, it's a 10.

what do yall honestly think of Thanatos?

Well, you need a big bad in every story with stakes but Thanatos is not a great big bad.
It jumps between "he's a god!" and "MC could kill him with one arm tied behind his back" too frequently.

I honestly still think he's a metaphor for sweaty powergamers. RGB lighting and all.

 

[cayseron]

thanatos is "on the nose" pay to win nolifer. with fancy cosmetic armour and blade that emits lightning which just screams pay to win. i like how cari used "nolifer" aspect as literal plot twist in the game as it turns out thanatos indeed has no life (he is dead outside the game) And just like how p2w players are divided between rich spoiled brats who waste money on game they never get good at so they look all cool but are still so shit any average player still destroy them, and legit nolifers who spend 24/7 in game, know every combo, every meta, every exploitable glitch... you mix those two together and get thanatos
instead of getting something in between you get something from both extremes

I'm of the same camp. One of the best (if not the best) updates so far for me (even though it wiped 3/4ths of my theory board ).

And yes, I also liked the Stanley Parable section because I thought it was a creative way to showcase Orion's fears while giving him that final push to make him commit to his relationships. Plus it's also the one time his game dev/programmer background gets referenced again, which is something I thought Cari kinda forgot.

That makes three. 0.7 wasn't bad but it was "missing" something, I don't know what but it did left me unsatisfied (maybe the torturous cliffhanger helped with this). 0.8 however made me excited all the way, and the ending left a good taste in my mouth. It makes you hyped for the next update, sure, but it doesn't add that anxiety of a dreadful cliffhanger. The quality of 0.8 was top notch too, the animations, jokes, even Orion is with a better mentality (FINALLY). I really can't see how 0.8 is a downgrade in anything, honestly, but it is only my opinion.

I don't eitheir. Hell maybe the best update since I'm following this game.

My favorite adventure part between 0.7 and 0.8 would be the New World, which really took place in 0.8 and best scene would be Dalia or the threesome which is a scene I like more and more as I'm replaying it (for reviewing and criticism of course)

There is also like you said Orion new powers and mentality shift, big steps in the plot, great cliffhanger.

Can anyone tell me the title of the song where Orion and Annie in a dinner date?

Go to Cari's youtube channel: @Caribdis_Games

Edit: if you mean at the dinner : A Little Longer - Louis Island

 

[Bobolkich]

Funfact I discovered when comparing the code from 0.7 and 0.8.
Did you know Alex's coach was a guy before ?

Are you interest of some other change Caribdis made to the dialogue like that ?
Per exemple in 0.7 all the dialogue said "The 10 gems" and in 0.8 that change for "The ten gems".

I thought about the coach stuff when playing and then forgot...
I have to admit i'm a bit curious but too lazy to check.
Are there some other (notable ?) changes ?

 

[Leinad_Sevla]

pretty sure leinad's biggest fear is pregnancy content XD

Ahah not exactly. My fear is if that content isn´t avoidable. Leave that choice to the player. A lot of players here will want to get some of them pregnant, or all of them, and other players like me don´t want any of that. We should both get the choice to do that.
If it was up to just me, it would all be facials/cum in mouth finishes. But Cari likes his creampies, so here we are.

Great Update. Really enjoyed it. But these damn cliff hanger. I hope the next update doesn´t take too long. But just take your time. Thanks for all your efforts. Have a good new year.

 

[doonatooo]

this masterpiece left a hole in my heart

 

[someoneyouknow2452]

So I took the liberty of updating the calendar for 0.8 content to the best of my guesses. agree/disagree?

I enjoyed the SP section as well, and that’s having never heard of it before. As I started playing it I thought it might end up being a chore, but it wasn’t too long, just the right length to be enjoyable without being overly repetitive, and it did bring a lot of things into focus of Orion, and the player.

 

[Bigredz]

I don't understand why this is so popular. The renders and animation are great, but the story is complete nonsense. The beginning started good but now it hard to tell what is happening in the story.

Just a suggestion google the names of Orion, Ulysses, Psyche, Eros, Thantos and see what pops up concerning mythology.

 

[Radish Cruton]

Sometimes, while I'm creeping in here, I'm reminded why I usually avoid being too active:

Making jokes and discussing theory is fun, but then there's always the risk to stumble upon this kind of remark which painfully showcase how spoiled people can get.

That someone can call these scenes "mediocre" is beyond me.
Yes, 0.8's scenes are even better. But no, these scenes are NOT mediocre.

To everyone reading this, please stop being spoiled and learn to enjoy quality.
It's for your own good, you'll be happier in life.

To everyone reading this - please don’t be sanctimonious gatekeepers for people’s opinions on a discussion forum. Please stop thinking that anyone who disagrees with you is wrong and learn to enjoy people taking about their differing points of view. It’s for your own good, you’ll be happier in life.

Alternate reply:



For more context on my opinion, I thought the Luna scene is 7 was spectacular, before that scene I was really not interested in her at all, after it she catapulted to tied with Alex in the number two spot. I didn't like the Penny scene, and it brought her down a peg for me to last place. The Nova scene I also didn’t like, but have come to appreciate more over time. My main issues with those two scenes were awkward animations (several in the Penny scene) and distorted body shapes (especially Nova‘s hips/ stomach/neck in the first sequence).

Interesting take, given that there are a tonne of people who gush over the story and how they would play the game for the story alone even without lewds, or how this should be a mainstream tv show, etc. While I wouldn’t go that far, I do think the story in Eternum is head and shoulders better than most adult games, it has weight to it, while still being mostly a lighthearted comedy adventure.

Where in the story did the game lose you? Which parts don’t make sense?

I don't think the story is all that confusing. There are certainly AVNs here with absolute garbage for stories that are incoherent, full of plot holes, or just don't even try to tell a story. What's nonsense to you?
