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

[MagnusTempestus6]

On the Android version it ends on the 0.7 ending and tells me it will continue on 0.9?

Does this happen when starting from a save on the end screen of 0.7? Have you tried earlier saves or rolling back? Might be related to the following issue, where I encountered something that sounds exactly like what you described
Edit: also, which version exactly are you using? the issue I found was in 0.8, not sure if 0.8.5 fixes it or not

Something I found out from a few tests. The ending screen for 0.8 is coded like the one from 0.7, so any save made on the ending screen will act as if you had already reached it and end the game, sending you back to the main menu. Call it a bug or an error, shit happens. I originally replayed a bit, so I didn't even notice.
Starting from any earlier save or rolling back gave me no issues and I could play the update from that same downloaded version.
This is what happens when people download unfixed early access leaks instead of official releases and don't give it any additional thought.

Isn't that pretty much part of the whole game narrative? He mentions multiple times that he doesn't even feel up to the task but he keeps going because he has no choice

Feels like they're setting up some kind of Captain Planet arc ("by your powers combined...") for the final fight against Thanatos, especially with how badly he fucked Orion up this episode he will probably need support from all the LIs and the friends he made along the way. We all know President Stabb will come in and save the day at the last second.

On another note I personally want to thank Cari for the Alex scene in this update. Didn't have to be there but it was. Missed this girl so much. Thank you.

Is there any compressed version for Android? Although my phone can handle 6 Gb fine (probably), I don't want to risk it.

bad news for 32 bit users, Caribdis now uses Ren'Py 8.3.2.24090902 meaning this game is no more compatible with 32 bit computers. the last running version for 32 bit is ethernum 0.7.5
Renpy 8 sucks, it is not compatible with older saves., either.
i stil do not understand why the developpers change the renpy engine, during a game developpement. it bothers users, it is useless. they should change the renpy engine only if they make a new game.

Just curious how old is your computer?

I think you've a bigger problem if your PC got a CPU from pre 2004.

I guess the bigger problem here is save file incompatibility for no obvious positive gain whatsoever. We'll all have to skip for about an hour once the next update is out.
There has to be something in it for devs though, he's not the first one that announced he'll switch.

Devs changing engine versions are certainly because they get more and/or better functionalities. It's possible some of the stuff 0.8 has wasn't possible in previous Ren'Py versions.

I always think of King Canute ordering back the tide....

My 0.7.5 saves works fine with 0.8 on Android at least?

For anybody wondering about my previous problem: Updating from 0.7.5 to 0.8 caused it. I had to fresh install the .apk. but my saves are still compatible.

I might have thought I was in off-topic when I posted that. Welp the die is cast.

I'm sure someone else has mentioned this, but is this the first time the girl in the percentage update picture doesn't wear the outfit? Like Dalia never wears the outfit she has on in those v0.8 update pics

According to the Archive, 0.4 may be the other one to not have that occur but I'd have to play it and recheck it since that's the plan for the week to get to the newest update myself.

Alex never wore that 0.6 outfit either when they went to Frontier Trails.

Well well, one of the best games I've played on this site, does anyone know of any similar games?

 

[jvbatman]

does anyone recommend similar games?

Yes.

Amongst the games I've played, perhaps the closest is Tales from the Unending Void, which like Eternum is a strongly plotted SF game where the MC is gradually building a harem.
