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

[dreamtourist]

Just finished playing the game till v0.3, after the Thanatos fight.
Caribdis, your a bloody genius... this is a fuckin work of art.
I am awed by the amount of work you've put into this game.
You deserve way more then every dime we throw at you.

Hell, Eternum needs to be made into an anime or a 3D animation series.
Seriously, this is too perfect to end as just a porn game.

I think this is first time I'm posting lol... But I had to... This game is a fucking masterpiece.

You look like someone that would usually just lurk in the shadows.

Turns out, Room Girl is even more demanding than Cyberpunk.

...Wait, seriously?

...Wait, seriously?

Well my GPU was running at 100% all the time, so it was very hot. I'm not an artist but I do know you need time and patience to set up the lighting and poses. You'd feel rushed to make a scene if your computer is running very hot. Well, look on the bright side, HS2 will remain the best engine for Eternum.

...I'm scared to ask but...what, pray tell, are your pc's specs?

I got a RTX 2070 card. I forgot the rest, but all that matters is my graphic card ran at 100%, so the other computer parts wouldn't have changed anything even if they were better.

Caribdis
Eternum on Steam , this is possible or not ?

Welp. Guess it's time to think about getting an upgrade, lol.

Haha, if you wish to do any rendering, you really need a decent graphic card. Mine is a bit outdated already.

thats a lie 2070 well lest at 7-9 years

Might sound surprising to you but your GPU being utilized 100% is just considered good optimization.
Your GPU is supposed to be able to run at full workload for extended amounts of time and not overheat.
If it does get too hot it clocks down, lowering temperatures but losing performance obviously. That shouldn't happen with a properly working cooler and well ventilated case.

Think of it this way, if you planned to run your card at like 75% utilization you could have just bought the next cheaper model down the list.

Second part is also not accurate. If your GPU shits out frames faster than your CPU can process them, you have something called a bottleneck. Also works the same the other way around of course.

You can survive, but its a bit hidden:
If you bought Annie the Pendant of Destiny in the very beginning of the game, you survive without dying (during very first interaction with the item vendor in eternum)

However i don't think the level loss is a huge debuff: level in Eternum seems to be more a vanity thing or rather, it shows how powerful you are/were, but you don't gain power FROM level ups but levels from completing hard challenges. The real debuff for normal players is loss of equipment from dying, but eternum player skill rises from actual personal skill, not points distributed during lvl up like classic rpgs.

Thanks. Unfortunately I don't think I did buy Annie the PoD and I'm not prepared to go right back to play from the start of the game to acquire it, but I think you're right about the levels and hopefully the loss of my credits won't prove too much of a handicap.

Incidentally, I do admire the clever way that Caribdis has set up a situation where some characters feel like they are blood relatives but aren't, so that there's no way that Patreon or whatever can object but relationships can feel like incest for those who are into that sort of thing.

I'm starting to fear this might count as off-topic, so if our posts get deleted, we can talk elsewhere.

I am aware of that. However, a GPU running at 100% is still hotter than it running below 100%.

Your GPU is supposed to be able to run at full workload for extended amounts of time and not overheat.
If it does get too hot it clocks down, lowering temperatures but losing performance obviously. That shouldn't happen with a properly working cooler and well ventilated case.

Well, what exactly is that extended amount of time? 1 hour? 2 hours?

When my GPU got too hot when I was playing games, it turned the screen black. Had to restart the computer. I don't know if that's harmful to the card, but I don't feel like approaching that limit.

I don't know if I have proper ventilation but there is pretty much only one place I can put my computer at in my room so, I don't really have a choice.

Well, I need a card that can be used for some time even for new softwares or games.

Second part is also not accurate. If your GPU shits out frames faster than your CPU can process them, you have something called a bottleneck. Also works the same the other way around of course.

Yeah I know, it's discussed quite often in gaming. But as far as I know, it only affects fps, but I don't really need a very high fps when making renders. Except downgrading my CPU or lowering the graphical settings, I don't think anything would lower the GPU %.

Edit: But yes, I shouldn't have jumped to the conclusion that Room Girl isn't usable for renders. I am sure there are other people that have computers capable of using it.

I sure hope it doesn't. A bit of technical talk shouldn't annoy people too much. It's not like we're filling pages with unhelpful nonsense.

That depends a lot on your use case and game session length. 4 hours, 8 hours, 12?
It shouldn't overheat in any case even running at a median of 99% across all of it.

When my GPU got too hot when I was playing games, it turned the screen black. Had to restart the computer. I don't know if that's harmful to the card, but I don't feel like approaching that limit.

Since the 2070 is a Turing card I'd guess anything below 80°C is totally within normal working temps. It's really hard to heat damage a modern GPU.
I haven't had a card blackscreen since the OG 8800 GTS and that was quite a while ago. Make sure it isn't other things in your case crapping out, maybe instigated by the warm GPU. Like your CPU or RAM sticks.

I don't know if I have proper ventilation but there is pretty much only one place I can put my computer at in my room so, I don't really have a choice.

This was more about case ventilation, as in air moving through your PC case. If your 2070 exceeds 80°C after a short time at full workload you should check the usual suspects like making sure the fans on the card are spinning properly and setting a custom fan curve if they don't. Also check for excessive amounts of dust in the case or on the case intake fans.

Thanks for the tips.

They must tell you what they are going to do! Living in a virtual world that limits your senses is in the plan. Looks like nice art. I hope some stil get out and do stuff instead of living in their matrix. My first thought was a play on virtual money or, like etherium a game like money of platinum or similar valued instrinsic valued coins. One hint for you all, if the currency not intrinsic, it is still fiat. And if you are only allowed to purchase something on an approved list, you have lost more freedom!

Like someone mentioned a few pages ago, i almost never post either, but this game...
WOW.

I have to take my hat off for the developer.
What a story and what a design...
You really set a new standard for everybody else..
Sensational, is the only word that comes to mind.

Can you enhance water cooling? And you might run a air tube a fan to suck air to outside to vent the heat and a fan outside to pull additional volume. Having a tube vent solution where space inside is limited. Dust is the enemy of electronics like heat preventing the movement of air.

The redhead in frame 12 has watched too much karate kid videos, is that her version of White Crane kung fu?

Play the game and see it in context - my recollection is that it has nothing to do with martial arts, and I think her right foot is on something, not just hanging in the air.
