Kinda bold of Cari, to post the cliffhanger ending of Ep. 9 with the very first sneak peeks, not gonna lie...

Shh, Ungawa is going to go unga bunga if he sees the word clif

 

[Opa Wants]

Did these elves actually put a gallows in their garden? What the fuck

That's so they don't have to go very far for their organic fertilizer.

[0.9] - Sneak peek #1

Hello everyone!!!!

I hope you're all having an fantastic day!

To be honest, the past few weeks haven't exactly been the best for me. Between the music issue (which is thankfully solved now) and some personal stuff, my head hasn't really been in the right place, and my productivity took a hit. But well, if I had to go through a rough patch, I'm glad it happened at the beginning of the development of update rather than near the end.

That said, I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the kind messages and unconditional support you ALWAYS give me. It means the world to me.
Thank you for being there, guys ❤

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But despite everything, good news!
The first set of sneak peeks are finally here! So... REJOICE!

If you played 0.8, it probably won’t come as a surprise that the update begins in Hyril'ar. After barely surviving his encounter with Thanatos, you'll finally have a chance to catch your breath in the elven kingdom and enjoy their exquisite... oh... oh.
Well... maybe that relaxing moment will have to wait a little longer...

I hope you guys make the right choices here...
You wouldn’t leave the girls alone in Kredon forever... right...?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And that's all from me for now!!

I'll leave the theorizing up to you! (Don't worry, as usual I've kept quite a few renders saved for the final release, so don't think you've seen it all just yet )
I'll be sharing some more info soon, so stay tuned!

Once again, thank you, thank you, thank you for making this project a reality ❤

I really hope I can keep working on Eternum and any future games and stories for as long as people are still excited to experience them.

Take care, stay awesome, and see you next time ❤

Work continues!

Love you,

Caribdis

This is roughly how I see it

After a sneak peek, my anticipation for the new update is starting to grow...

It's not rage bait. I thought you were talking about the (possible) future branching, not the vampires/werewolves one.
Those certainly can't happen at the same time since they were written like that. If branching wins this current poll, then they will certainly be written in a way they'll happen at the same time. If non-branching wins, they'll be written one after the other.

Ooof. My bad.

I meant that vampire/werewolves branch obviously needs to be a branch. Same as that branch were you choose your pirate mate (either of the two dudes or the bombshell who we were robbed a sexy scene withjk)

So I thought the branching that'll happen because of the poll would be the same thing

 

[theegrandmagus0227]

OMG!! I can't believe we're getting what seems to be the harem discovery conversation between the two sisters. They're gonna be PISSED for a bit, wonder if it'll be handled as a comedic moment or a serious one! Whichever it is I trust Caribdis to cook for us. And Orion getting hung by the elves lol, poor guy cant catch a break.

Wonder what the sisters are snooping around for xd.Also alex is back!!! rejoice!

 

[as5227]

I'm missing luna's 10th outfit
does anyone knows how to unlock it?

 

[LaterGater]

Is this rage bait?

Read the scenes again, word for word, carefully. Then ask yourself if they could both happen at the same time

Do you not understand how writing works? The vampire/werewolf scene was written with branching, it could very easily be written without. We're talking sub 1 minute of work to change.

Branching is completely pointless and goes against the spirit of harem games, it either makes updates shorter for no good reason if the player doesn't want to save-scum or utterly shatters pacing and immersion while the player loads a save to experience the other way. It also means the relationship with the woman that wasn't chosen will be significantly shallower, breaking the equal standing of the harem for that story.

Hell it also contradicts Caribdis own writing during the Nancy scene, the MC can't possibly love them equally if he makes a choice. Doesn't matter if the story bends over itself to make it "okay", the player knows.

All in all I'm very disappointed in Caribdis for this one. If the branching makes it in its going the be a permanent black mark on what was the best game in this industry full stop.

You'll get over it...

Uh....yeah you can

MC hanging out with luna over annie for one night doesn't mean that he loves one over the other...

And stop being dramatic with save scumming. You choose a choice with your personal 2nd favorite girl, you read 10 min of text, you go back to your last save, you choose a choice with your favorite girl. Simple as apple pie. I'm beginning to think you haven't played the game and think this is one of the uber-long branches, like what goes on in AnotherChance or Ripples

Also, you gotta understand this isn't Caribdis' decision. He asked his paying followers to tell him (her?) what to do, and he was told to do branching. It makes perfect sense for an artist to accommodate the fanbase. Massive respect.

But isn't the poll pretty close? (from what I heard atleast). Tbh he should've just added the branching without poll if he wanted. This is just gonna make the fandom split over the next few months

 

[Crashbullet]

Huh, Ciri, the question is in what world

 

[LaterGater]

It absolutely does in the context of very limited scenes per character we will get, especially this early in the relationships.

Simple as apple pie.

Who said it was hard? Stop being disingenuous, as I said, my problem is the loss of continuity.

Also, you gotta understand this isn't Caribdis' decision.

I'm honestly kind of baffled at how nonsensical this take is. Definitely sounds like you're being obtuse on purpose.
You do understand it 100% is their decision right? No one forced Caribdis to make that poll or introduce branching halfway through their second game.

Any good businessman would know introducing a change nearly half your userbase hates is a terrible decision.
Hopefully Caribdis is as smart as I think they are and keeps things consistent on that front.

So when I decided to tag along grocery shopping with my dad last week over staying at home watching TV with my mom, it means I like one parent over another?

Quit being silly, occasionally choosing one person over another doesn't mean you like that person over the other. You sound like the psycho partner who forbids their SO from maintaining any relationships because "youre choosing them over me"

Who said it was hard? Stop being disingenuous, as I said, my problem is the loss of continuity.

Look at you, melting over a 10-minute flavor change as "loss of continuity."

Any good businessman would know introducing a change nearly half your userbase hates is a terrible decision.

Any good businessman delivers on a promise they made to the fanbase

The poll hasn't ended yet.

 

[VampireNoir]

Any idea how close this feels to a complete release?
I just finished Once in a Lifetime and now I'm pumped for the next Caribdis VN.
