Important Update: Changes to the Game’s Music



Hey everyone,

I wanted to take a moment to share an important update regarding Eternum’s soundtrack. Due to a licensing and guidelines issue with a music platform, we’ve had to remove all of its content from the game. Unfortunately, this means that a few of the tracks you’ve come to love will no longer be present.

However, thanks to the incredible effort of several community members, we’ve replaced those songs with other free alternatives and AI-generated pieces to try to maintain the game’s atmosphere. This wasn’t a choice we made willingly, but a necessary action to ensure the project can continue without complications.

Keep in mind that the new version 0.8.6 doesn't include any new content—the only change is the updated sound.

Resolving this issue temporarily paused development, but we’re now back on track and moving forward with 0.9 as planned.

I truly appreciate your understanding and support through this. I’m sorry for the inconvenience, but I hope you’ll continue to enjoy Eternum as we keep improving it.



Sincerely,

Caribdis

While I do understand that this sucks in a way, I sincerely hope the song selection will be better for sex scenes. Without lyrics at the very least

"No one knows" Noooooo!
Damn it, that was so good, it gave such a misterious air to 0.1V .

"It's probably just a few tracks. How bad can it be?"

JFC...

51?? The Stalingrad of Eternum...


We can only cross our fingers for a mod that fix that someday.
But in the meantime, time to store a backup of 0.8V...

Kinda easy to grab all the songs from the old files though. Although I understand that not everyone got a 16to HDD to keep all the old versions of their favorite VNs (or want to make the necessary changes themselves). I still have all Eternum versions back to v0.3 personnally (when I started playing it) and ain't no way I'm replaying Eternum without the songs we got used to

I do hope that someone better and less lazy than me do the work for the future versions still

Not every song with lyrics got nuked. Some songs like "Silverware" and "If I Had a Tail" are still there according to those on Cari's Discord.

 

[someoneyouknow2452]

I NEED A LIST!

I sure hope, it won't be:

It's gone.... RIP

 

[Padorublad3]

Oh,and I just unarchived 0.8.6,and there is music and sfx for 0.9

 

[MalLiz]

Despite having played only a tiny little bit of this game, I'm really starting to feel weary of it already. This is probably going to seem like a really freaking petty complaint to some people, but the fact that we can't skip transitions in the game is just plain aggravating to me! I freaking hate the transition effects in Ren'Py games! They always fuck up the flow of the game so damn bad and makes reading them an absolute bloody slog.

I really wish the dev would enable the option to skip transitions. But I get the feeling he won't because "hurr durr artistic vision" or something.

These all seem to have been replaced since the binary files for them is different, also 4 seem to have been deleted, them being

• pilgrim1

I'm going to create a folder with the old + new versions of these and post it as a zip if anyone wants to see what what has been replaced by

THIS MEGA IS STRICTLY FOR COMPARING OLD VS NEW. THE FILES HAVE BEEN RENAMED WITH {OLD}, {NEW} AND {REMOVED} AND WILL NOT WORK AS A MUSIC RESTORATION PATCH

Link to mega folder with all changed/removed .ogg files. The program I used to compare solely goes by binary data, so whether this is a complete list I can't tell, but I figure I at least have most of it
Old songs marked with {old} at end
New songs marked with {new} at end
Removed songs marked with {removed} at end
That way the new+old versions of the song are next to eachother, since apparently on mega (on pc at least) you can play .ogg files so you won't even need to download them to be able to listen to what has been changed.

Obvious potential spoilers if you haven't played the latest update yet.

The hyrilar cliffhanger? That was so epic tho. Dammit

Man I kept the old versions of Eternum too . Guess we got lucky. Still sucks ass though.

 

[Alandir]

Man this is really unfortunate. I had suspected something like this would happen since cari doesn't credit the music ingame and almost every cc license requires that you do so. But it's still a real shame. Not looking forward to AI music in the game.

 

[Padorublad3]

Soooo...if I got it right,to return all the old music back for the next updates,all we have to do is create an audio folder in Eternum/game and put all the changed music we extracted from 0.8.5 there.Don't wanna deep dive into Ren'Py,but according to ChatGPT,files from the "game" folder have higher priority over .rpa,so everything should work If someone knows it better,feel free to share

actually... if i am correct. having duplicate files in the gamefolder that matches what is inside .rpa files, will cause conflicts. you can have either or, but not both at the same time. but i could be wrong. (i had that problem when creating a Mod for a game a while back)

 

[Ungawa]

Welp, that was fun while it lasted.

Guess the game finally got big enough that those damnable fucks at those "royalty free music" sites started to take notice.

(Also I suppose it didn't help that SOME people just had to yap at the YT comments of some artists' YT channels that had their songs featured in Eternum which eventually put the game in their crosshairs. Thanks a lot guys. Really did a solid for Cari there. )

Hate to say it but was bound to happen, hence why I only put the Dead List in Youtube music.

You just knew that eventually the fanbase would get to this and it was a "later rather than sooner" situation from the minute some of these songs got associated with a popular adult game.

Can't blame social media too much, people don't know any better to listen to a caveman or a dwarf...

 

[Dunner]

Due to a licensing and guidelines issue with a music platform

Just an FYI. I know a couple of lads that make songs so IDK the process myself but from what they told me:
In cases like this, the artists may have no issue with the use of their songs in the game but because they gave the rights to a third party it's out of their hands unless they directly intervene.

I'm saying this because we're on the internet and I know some people already grabbed their pitchforks and are ready for war

It is a shame really BUT I'd like to remind everyone that WE ARE pirates so we could just act like we're supposed to and APPROPRIATE the current music folder by simply making a BK of if and hiding it under a conveniently marked X spot. Like this we can always replace the new music with the old one at our convenience without getting Cari in any trouble.

Well I'll be- would you look at that, someone done did just that or something similar to that. YAAAR MATEY

P.S: I never thought I'd live to see the day when the people here will choose not to get a new patch for the game. Yet here we are.

No,thanks
