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

[FakeTemplar]

I'm of the same camp. One of the best (if not the best) updates so far for me (even though it wiped 3/4ths of my theory board ).

And yes, I also liked the Stanley Parable section because I thought it was a creative way to showcase Orion's fears while giving him that final push to make him commit to his relationships. Plus it's also the one time his game dev/programmer background gets referenced again, which is something I thought Cari kinda forgot.

That makes three. 0.7 wasn't bad but it was "missing" something, I don't know what but it did left me unsatisfied (maybe the torturous cliffhanger helped with this). 0.8 however made me excited all the way, and the ending left a good taste in my mouth. It makes you hyped for the next update, sure, but it doesn't add that anxiety of a dreadful cliffhanger. The quality of 0.8 was top notch too, the animations, jokes, even Orion is with a better mentality (FINALLY). I really can't see how 0.8 is a downgrade in anything, honestly, but it is only my opinion.

I don't eitheir. Hell maybe the best update since I'm following this game.

My favorite adventure part between 0.7 and 0.8 would be the New World, which really took place in 0.8 and best scene would be Dalia or the threesome which is a scene I like more and more as I'm replaying it (for reviewing and criticism of course)

There is also like you said Orion new powers and mentality shift, big steps in the plot, great cliffhanger.

Can anyone tell me the title of the song where Orion and Annie in a dinner date?

Go to Cari's youtube channel: @Caribdis_Games

Edit: if you mean at the dinner : A Little Longer - Louis Island

Funfact I discovered when comparing the code from 0.7 and 0.8.
Did you know Alex's coach was a guy before ?

Are you interest of some other change Caribdis made to the dialogue like that ?
Per exemple in 0.7 all the dialogue said "The 10 gems" and in 0.8 that change for "The ten gems".

I thought about the coach stuff when playing and then forgot...
I have to admit i'm a bit curious but too lazy to check.
Are there some other (notable ?) changes ?

 

[Leinad_Sevla]

pretty sure leinad's biggest fear is pregnancy content XD

Ahah not exactly. My fear is if that content isn´t avoidable. Leave that choice to the player. A lot of players here will want to get some of them pregnant, or all of them, and other players like me don´t want any of that. We should both get the choice to do that.
If it was up to just me, it would all be facials/cum in mouth finishes. But Cari likes his creampies, so here we are.

Great Update. Really enjoyed it. But these damn cliff hanger. I hope the next update doesn´t take too long. But just take your time. Thanks for all your efforts. Have a good new year.

this masterpiece left a hole in my heart

 

[someoneyouknow2452]

So I took the liberty of updating the calendar for 0.8 content to the best of my guesses. agree/disagree?

I enjoyed the SP section as well, and that’s having never heard of it before. As I started playing it I thought it might end up being a chore, but it wasn’t too long, just the right length to be enjoyable without being overly repetitive, and it did bring a lot of things into focus of Orion, and the player.

I don't understand why this is so popular. The renders and animation are great, but the story is complete nonsense. The beginning started good but now it hard to tell what is happening in the story.

Just a suggestion google the names of Orion, Ulysses, Psyche, Eros, Thantos and see what pops up concerning mythology.

 

[Radish Cruton]

Sometimes, while I'm creeping in here, I'm reminded why I usually avoid being too active:

Making jokes and discussing theory is fun, but then there's always the risk to stumble upon this kind of remark which painfully showcase how spoiled people can get.

That someone can call these scenes "mediocre" is beyond me.
Yes, 0.8's scenes are even better. But no, these scenes are NOT mediocre.

To everyone reading this, please stop being spoiled and learn to enjoy quality.

Alternate reply:



For more context on my opinion, I thought the Luna scene is 7 was spectacular, before that scene I was really not interested in her at all, after it she catapulted to tied with Alex in the number two spot. I didn't like the Penny scene, and it brought her down a peg for me to last place. The Nova scene I also didn’t like, but have come to appreciate more over time. My main issues with those two scenes were awkward animations (several in the Penny scene) and distorted body shapes (especially Nova‘s hips/ stomach/neck in the first sequence).

Interesting take, given that there are a tonne of people who gush over the story and how they would play the game for the story alone even without lewds, or how this should be a mainstream tv show, etc. While I wouldn’t go that far, I do think the story in Eternum is head and shoulders better than most adult games, it has weight to it, while still being mostly a lighthearted comedy adventure.

Where in the story did the game lose you? Which parts don’t make sense?

I don't think the story is all that confusing. There are certainly AVNs here with absolute garbage for stories that are incoherent, full of plot holes, or just don't even try to tell a story. What's nonsense to you?

Damn right.

 

[KanyeT]

what do yall honestly think of Thanatos?

View attachment 4387259

Cause honestly for me his character is kinda getting stale and boring already. I get his supposed to be this intimidating and looming threat for Orion and the gang but I'm just at a point where every time he's mentioned or appears on screen I groan and say "ah shit, here we go again" in a disappointed tone. Learning his backstory in that one update was cool and all but he's a one trick pony for me as of now. He just appears, does some OP shit, kill someone (usually Jerry) then dips over and over again. Lastly, idk but the more I see him, he's kinda looking like a bargain bin yoshimitsu cosplay.

Don't know if my take is controversial or not, feel free to roast me if it is but Im just meh to this guy XD

I was expecting more out of the next encounter. We spent all this time tracking down his real name and family, learning about his past and his status as a dead NPC, and it felt like it meant nothing.

Orion mentioned it to him during their fight, and it just rolled off his shoulders like nothing. He didn't seem to care whatsoever.

I was kind of hoping we would get some more characterisation. Learn a bit more about his motives, his past and history, and more about his side of the story. But instead, we got nothing.

Always with the fucking cliffhangers in these games.

We're gonna be playing the next part anyway, there's really no need for them.
