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

[Kamuisaki]

Eh? Don't you mean 3 years for all 6 updates?

2021 - 0.1 and 0.2

2022 - 0.3 and 0.4

2023 - 0.5 and 0.6

So if we're keeping the 2 updates per year sched and the plan is for something in between 12 and 20 updates, you're looking at an additional 3 to 7 years of development time...bringing the total to...

/crunches numbers

...somewhere in between 6 to 10 years worth of dev time, total.

(Personally I still think he's going to target 15-16 updates total, since that still falls under the "in between 12 and 20 updates" target. Anything beyond that feels overkill, but that's just my opinion)

No what he said in term of time is correct, if 0.1 was in Sept 2021 and 0.6 in Aug 2023, it does not even make 2 years. If we count with the dev time before 0.1 it's a little more time than 2 years

Eva's new look is hot af, i hope this is not a cameo appearance, making her look this good and forgotten about it just

While Eva's looking very good, be sure not to get caught giving her a few glances with these two ladies right behind you:

we're probably going to get 0.7 around late January 2024 at the (very) earliest or early to mid February 2024 at the latest

I'd say February. Factor in Christmas time, the fact that later development is always more complex and we're looking at about that. But that is still super impressive. Most devs put one update in the timeframe where Cari does 2.

I fell of my chair here, absolutely gold!

Still doesn't change the fact that we've been getting 2 updates per year though (and it's likely going to stay that way unless Cari does the unthinkable and release a story-only update...without any lewds), so better to base it off on that to know just how many years there are to go before the inevitable conclusion. /shrugs

 

[Sneaky Heresiarch]

out of curiosity, does anyone of you play this game non-harem as in you just stick with one girl?

Some other non-harem games that are now deep in development take so much time to play through. And there's overlapping parts for each path. I usually lose interest because I don't know which LI to focus on and then it becomes a chore at that point, just to grind through it all.

Harem saves time, explores 100% and at the expense of a freaking fantasy story not being 100% realistic. Good deal.

 

[Dorfnutter]

Yeah this might be more accurate especially since the wait between updates gets longer. (I thought 0.1 was released on September 16 2021 and 0.2 on December 24 2021, if not my bad)

No you're correct but...there weren't that much lewds in 0.2 so dev time was kind of quick in that regard. Can't do that shit for future updates since we're starting to ramp up on the lewds the way OIAL did when it hit the latter half of its story...

...unless again, Cari does the unthinkable.

Yeah especially if the lewds are going to be longer like the ones in 0.6, I wonder how much time it took him to animate Alex's scene

out of curiosity, does anyone of you play this game non-harem as in you just stick with one girl? if so, who is it? i used to go for a harem route (i don't go for every girl just some of them) but i'm currently thinking of restarting because the last time i played this game was once when it was still v0.3. i don't remember much so i might as well start from scratch, but i'm thinking of choosing just one girl...? but then again it doesn't really fit with the MC's personality. he's way too horny to just go for one girl... what do you guys think?

The Harem route is the one to go (for me)

 

[Dorfnutter]

Yeah especially if the lewds are going to be longer like the ones in 0.6, I wonder how much time it took him to animate Alex's scene

Probably shorter than the amount of time the madman spent in coding the entirety of the Collector whodunit event, if his progress report on the matter is to be believed...

[0.6] - Progress Report

[...]I've been working on this last scene for the past few weeks. It was a bit more challenging and time-consuming than usual because I wanted it to be particularly open-ended and this meant a lot of extra coding work. You'll be able to leave without solving the case or not, getting valuable info or artifacts, or even deciding who lives and who dies
It will all depend on how you play your cards![...]

Yeah it's better to make guess in the date of futur update this way. The precision of time is more to show how fast Eternum is made at least for now.

An update without lewd..., an update with just lore..., a nightmare that I know I will still enjoy. I think I like Eternum too much.

I haven't seen anyone else having problems. Have you tried re-downloading and creating a clean install, then starting the chapter over in a clean install if that doesn't work?

Yes... I redownload and tried to play.....I am using previous save file and sancho mod

I think that in that case Cari should look over his shoulders pretty fast...... And I wouldn't want to be in his shoes for anything in the world...

So sad that there are no new calypso signatures available. Peasants have been disrespecting her far too long.

I'd make one, but the result would probably be a crime against humanity.

Did we impregnate Alex?

 

[Bad Wolf]

Chang is clearly the Stabby Mike of Eternum. I loved how he was already one of the cool kids on day one and Dalia is like, "And Chang" as if he'd been part of the cool kid group forever.

The best thing about Chang is he's not the story very often. Just enough to be funny and not wear out his welcome (unlike every other "best friend" character in these games").

Best friend? I broke him when I said that Annie was my best friend.
