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

[Krytax123]

Good point which hadn't occurred to me. He could well have done that. Though it does raise the question of how he was able to locate Calypso, as I assume she doesn't have a neural implant.

I mean Calypso is VERY obvious and unusual, even without any big tracking tools she could have been found by someone whos explicitly searching for her and has connections.

Its a Inn and not some secret bunker but they may even have tools to track her

The biggest issue is if he dies inside Eternum by self-porting in, he loses everything. Using the implant, he loses his shit but not his life.

We don't actually know that. Since it hasn't come up. Not sure I want to conduct the experiment mind you.

I think Orion can die in Eternum, Idriel stated something along the lines that she cant save him as he died on earth (which implies she could have rescued him if he would have been in Eternum imo). Maybe she was just talking about if he had used the implant but it didnt sounded like it (i dont think Idriel puts much weight on the implant in all of this).

But what would have happened to Nova or Dalia dying?

Aren't there some branching paths as for example the gladiator fight or the space station arc where Orion can die but the game does not switch to an bad end?

I think Orion dying as an astral projection (going in via the chip) is pretty much confirmed for him to be not a reason to die for real, where as dying while he "transmigrated" into Eternum would probably end in him dying for real.

Super funny that the author addressed how useless Annie as been in the past 7 chapters and decided to have a little villain speech and NUKE everything. (it still doenst make up for the fact that in the past 7 chapters the highest level character was in fact useless, but at least it means Caribdis is self aware)

MC is a loser, he's just known nancy and them since he was a kid so they drag him along. just like real life has the loser in the group that everybody knows and brings along cause if they dont he'll never go anywhere[and then they'll feel sorry for him]. i guess that could make him the "lynch pin". we all know the only girl thats gonna fuck him are the 1-3's on the 1-10 ranking scale and he's not rich enough to get himself a 7+ tiktok whore.

Sounds like projecting to me

What game are you playing lmao. MC is flirting with line of being too Chad, not a loser.

Nancy, the queen waifu, won’t settle for the MC you made up in your noggin.

Let's be fair here, if there was MMO video game realism where levels mattered, the game would have involved Orion grinding boars for a long, long time and then when he gets a power-up he'd be a filthy cheater. And Penelope would just kinda get one-shot at the start of everything. Plus it'd be super unrealistic that they're involved in the plot at all despite not grinding the thing 24/7.

My headcannon is it's like a shooter where levels just give you a perk here and there, while weapons are key and your basic weapon is good enough to kill stuff while big weapons are an edge for experienced players to wield properly (you'll get one shot by a shotgun to the face either way, but you can get a shotgun with a bit more range or capacity). And Orion just gets less lag than everyone else. Don't even remember if it was ever explained, it's just what I automatically think of.

I think that was the explanation. Levels aren't that important and don't give stat changes

They can affect what magic you can wield tho (spells are basically level-gated). Pretty bloody important I think if you're gunning for a magic-oriented playstyle.

Loved this update, Hopefully 0.9 arrives faster than this one

 

[theola]

I honestly like the MC, not too chad (even with his powers) and not a wimp either. The mistakes he made are just in hindsight, not obvious stupid mistakes.

 

[Fapparition]

It's kind of funny that Luna saw herself having 3some with Orion and Annie before she even had sex with Orion. She basically spoilered to herself that her relationship with Orion not just will go well but will go way to well . Now Luna, probably, will be thinking about inevitable 3some even during her first time with Orion, comparing the two

Yes, prior to this update I'd always found Annie the least interesting of the characters, but she has now massively gone up in my estimation, to be on a par with Nancy, Dalia, Luna, Nova and Calypso. Penny and Alex are still narrowly my favourites - not that they are really any more awesome than the others, but I just like them a bit more.

Penny was the only girl not to have much content in 0.8, so hopefully we'll see more of her in the next update.

OK, so after giving it a thought and finding out that it will take ~2028 to be completed (I'm new to these stuff), I've decided that I'll start this AVN, even though I strictly avoid unfinished ones. Is this a good time to start it or should I wait for the next update? I don't want a jarring and incomplete cliffhanger. Thanks for the help!

Cliffhanger's not as bad as the last update and there's a lot of meat to the story and lewds so...give it a shot.

It's a great time to play it. The next update won't come before July or even August.
This episode's ending is better than the previous one!

Lol not in August either.
Safe to aim end of September or October.

Also, Am I the only one who think Orion should keep using the implant to get in and out of Eternum as much as possible. It gives him a huge advantage that he has it and can also go back and forth at will. His latest (multiple) near death experiences, I think, are signs that he should use it at least when possible. He could even die while using the implant and suit, and then get right back in with his powers. Just some thoughts.

I agree with you. That would be his best option, imho. I'm actually kinda surprised he has so carelessly jumped into the wagon of physically entering Eternum.

Just met Eva on the Wild West server (v0.6) and Orion/Caribdis did her dirty #justice4eva

That was obviously a running joke...and it actually fitted Annie's character quite well.
