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

[takatoki]

Do you want them separated as PNGs? I don't think that's possible. They're HS2 assets and are modified on Photoshop by Caribdis.

Yeah, that's what I was hoping to find, some PNGs. Could be hard to redraw them from game images.

Longer than the MC's dick, but barely

Best reply so far in the whole thread.

My friend if anybody on this site was not poor they would be downloading their games from itch.io, Steam, Dlsite and Patreon. We all know why we all come here.

You really have some narrowminded ignorance if you think thats the only reason people are on here for.

Claiming because poor is laughable.

Can someone please explain to me why this VN is so highly rated? I've tried to play it like a dozen times now but I get turned off after a few scenes in the VR world. Is there somekind of great thing that I get to see if I slog through the VR scenes?

I think all it shows is that your taste in games must be radically different from most of us here. Which is no crime, of course.

Brother an estimated 80% of this game consists of those VR scenes. If the game's not for you then I fear it's just not for you. Not saying I'm a fan of that particular kind of thing but I'm far from finding it a turn off.

Ultimately it comes down to different strokes for different folks. Some people like a really good story, some people only want the lewds

I tend to only like realistic (as realistic as a VN can be) and grounded VNs and typically the RPG/VR thing would turn me off this game, but I tried it and stuck with it. The writing is great, there's a whole cast of really likeable characters who have good growth, the VR stuff is actually interesting once you buy into it, and the game nails when to have the down moments, and when to have the light hearted comedy moments. It's just really well wrote

what are the "variable changes" "bug fixes" in patch notes.
do we need to play last update again since there are "variable" changes?

Guess I'll give it a shot again. There were VNs that took me several tries to get into and they are some of my favs now.

Took me some time to get into it fully too but after 0.4 it became my fav. Atleast try to finish till there

The introduction to the VR game is a bit too long, but the pacing gets much better. However, if you really don't care for the whole metaverse aspect of the story, then the game is not for you. It's like asking you to appreciate Back to the Future if you don't enjoy time travel.

If you've never played a Caribdis game his previous one Once in a Lifetime is a good starting point to take a look at his writing style and game pacing, without the VR stuff. If you have played that already I can't imagine why you would ask the initial question.

Funny because I thought the pacing in this game is miles better compared to OIAL where the story doesn't really pick up until Asmodeus enters the picture and the chapters before that are basically barebones plot with too much SoL stuff and needless qui-



...q-quiz sections.

Sure Eternum is miles better in terms of pacing and quality but it's the story subject he has a problem with and OIAL is the closest thing I guess.

Yeah i'm not a fan of HS models or fantasy elements but the story still managed to grip me

Personally I started to enjoy it around the time a blonde with tattoos entered the story properly

I'm not saying it's bad, there are multiple 4.5+ games that stumble from scene to scene instead of having a plot, and Eternum is head and shoulders above them even in episode 1, which ends on a cliffhanger that sets the main story rolling, but compared to subsequent episodes the first one is a bit rambling.

It's not surpising, since it had to do a lot of things: showcase Orion's life before Eternum, introduce the cast, do an exposition on Eternum, show how Orion obtained the implant, showcase his first experience in Eternum, get the main plot going and finally sneak in a sex scene because it's an AVN.

That's a lot, so it's understandable that some people get tired of listening to people talk about Eternum at school, then listening to Idriel talk about the gems and the weapons, then listening to Annie talk about Eternum some more, then listening to Chop-Chop, then listening to Eva, then there's a cliffhanger. They see all these hot ladies and are itching to get to know them better instead of learning about a game inside a game.

As opposed to OIAL where the SoA was just infodumped at the very last part of 0.1 and the update ends with the MC opening the door to his father's basement. There wasn't any establishing connection to his dad and SoA other than a circumstantial event that may not even be connected to SoA, while 90% of the update was about the MC's daily life and being introduced as a failing college student who's trying to get his shit together. You can basically cut that and start at the latter parts of the update and nothing of value would've been lost.

Eternum 0.1 was mainly set-up, but you didn't have to wait until 0.2 to get to the actual VRMMO and to understand that the main story revolves around the entire thing. Even the mysterious supernatural shenanigans and rival BBEG (coughThanatoscough) were already thrown in while in OIAL you don't even meet the bad guys nor witness the supernatural shit until 0.2 (and even the latter never really factored into the story until the very end where the idea was basically MC dreams of demons because he himself is part demon).

Hey everyone, loving this game so much, especially the lamborghini scene with Penny. Got a question, my MC gets shot in the back by the alley bully, the dies and it tells me the update is over, can anyone tell me if it is actually the end of last update? Is there any hidden ending i didnt achieve or something?
