For Caribdis's next game, he should keep the game and his Patreon separate, so that he can put whatever he wants in his game, while still offering things like Discord benefits to being subscribed to his Patreon. He was able to do that with Once in a Lifetime. He should do that with his next game!
Bro why in the world did I comment this? Damn it...
I've had a few hours to think, and I'm now seeing how dumb this sounds, and why it got the reactions that it did, lol. Humor aside, I'm actually pretty embarrassed about this, though.
So, I'm sorry to the 2 or 3 people that read this for making such a foolish suggestion. I don't know why I thought Caribdis separating his games, but especially Eternum, from his Patreon would ever be a good idea.
Alright, that's all from me. I won't linger on this any further, to avoid this getting too off-topic. Just wanted to get this out there.
Your reply to my comment got me curious if I could find the full list of wallpapers here on F95. Lo and behold, I can! And, they're from you! You're awesome for this, man! Thank you!

Damn son, don't flagellate yourself for our benefit. The internet is made for saying what's on your mind, just own it and move on.
It honestly would be cool if Cari could find a way to circumvent the puritanism of Patreon, so we appreciate your brainstorming.

It's a relief to hear that, haha. Thank you, genuinely! I think if I had taken the backlash as an opportunity to explain what I meant instead of panicking and immediately apologizing, it would've been more clear that I didn't mean keep the games and the Patreon completely separate, just... a little more apart. It's hard to explain, but, keep them connected enough that it's worth subscribing to the Patreon, but apart enough that Patreon's ToS won't apply to what can be put in the game. How that'd be done, I don't know. But, I feel like it'd be possible, and that's more or less what I meant. Not completely axing the games' connection to the Patreon, lol.
I wasn't? I even mentioned in my post that most of Cari's dev time is dedicated to posing and lighting, which from what I've seen from HS2 tutorial vids are a bitch to work on (especially the lighting since HS2's base lighting pretty much sucks according to some devs and users).
I'm sure someone must have said this before already, but I find the captain of the praetorians at the end of 0.2 to be quite attractive, I wonder if we'll cross paths with her again at some point. To be honest they all are so hot omg, but this one especially
Also I wonder why the other two have weird freezing skin, also the ones that get shot down by Nova. The sniper one has normal skin. Maybe it's rank related? Or just a design choice.
Another thing, what's the consensus on praetorians? I did skim the thread searching for posts about this but I couldn't find anything substantial. They are not AI, right? I think that's pretty clear when they run away saying they should have chosen other jobs in Eternum like working at Aphrodite's.
Or maybe only low-ranks are actually people because now that I look more closely the sniper one and the captain have very similar eyes (white circular shine) and eyebrows and basically the same face (and not weird freezing skin)
Are they related or high-rank praetorians are indeed AI? Or maybe they are real people but Eternum allows that kind of customizations to high-rank praetorians? I don't know and I'm sure this must have been talked about before so I feel silly.
As a final note, Nova is so bad ass in that scene, I had forgotten about it, totally worth replaying.
I love this game and world so much.
P.S.: I think blue-balling a bit is alright, I actually (how should I put it) "finish" three times every play session. Also Nancy going to defend her empire and her attitude towards it was so funny but also made me like her a whole lot more than before, love that personality.
The Praetorians are evil, and I accept that they are. But, honestly, I think our boy Orion is strong enough now that he can defend himself if necessary. Even if it results in a fight to the death, we need a Praetorian lewd scene.
This is only halfway satire. But I won't specify which half.
