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

[Dorfnutter]

you really count kissing?

I counted that because the argument was that scenes were progressing in a linear fashion and it counted it as a scene (i.e. handholding -> kissing -> handjob/blowjob -> vaginal -> anything goes) when in actuality it isn't the case.

To me it feels like many of the characters are written that way to deliberately make the progression feel slow. I would have liked more variation which is partly why I appreciate the addition of nancy. I wish there was at least one other character like her (as in an older experienced character) in the main cast. It would have added more variation I think.

You say slow, but coming to this game after playing OIAL I'd say it's pretty fast as far as progress is concerned.

As for variation, I suppose that's fine to ask. But if the variant you're asking for is the kind of character who is not an exclusive partner to the MC...well then good luck trying to get that idea past Caribdis' supporters without triggering the forbidden N word alarm (no not the racist word, the OTHER N word, the one that starts flame wars and causes messy thread cleanups). They're pretty much vanilla lovers for the most part, which was why I think that bad end with Lauren being introduced in OIAL was such a big deal back then.

In the case of Alex and Penny by the time we get to their lewd scenes they both have a crush on the MC. Alex already knows the MC is not kissing her ass because she is a bardot - he would not pick a fight with William if he was trying to do that. Similarly penny already knows the MC does not think of her as a dumb blonde bimbo. She is fine with all the teasing, nudity etc. Maybe you feel differently but to me it felt like the scenes were deliberately cut short just to fit the trope of going slow in the beginning.

With Alex there's an excuse: they're at the party to investigate Ulysses and possibly learn more about Benjie's death, maybe even meet the Founder in the process. The scene with her is basically just a quick diversion. Also, you're forgetting that MC is basically the first time she probably had a genuine friend of the opposite sex and one she is attracted to, so despite her bravado she obviously will have trouble trying to become intimate with him. As for Penny, she already said in her scene that she doesn't fuck on the first date, so the best we could do is respect her wishes in that regard (besides, it matches with her personality of being the opposite of a blonde sexed bimbo, the kind that Regina is accusing her of being).

As for Nancy yes I know it is a joke and I think it was a bad one - it is an overdone trope and I feel like the setup was unnecessary.

Well my misgivings on some aspects of the scene aside I thought the events leading up to it made the payoff a lot sweeter, so...agree to disagree I guess. /shrugs

Also I like that she's getting blueballed. Girl needs a no horni bonk so bad that I'd settle to her getting blueballed as a compromise.

You're thinking it's slow? There are 7 Lis in the game and every character has a different personality and a different approach to the MC.

Yes, it's definitely slow. It was possible not to waste energy on a dozen scenes with a handjob (personally, I just skip them because it's just boring as hell). It was possible to make scenes when the girls would be ready for it. Yes, there are probably people like you who are more interested in handjobs than full-fledged scenes. But I'm sure most people would rather have a few full scenes than dozens of "ok, you got your blowjob, now get out". Well, or in general, do not make scenes yet and focus on the plot, if so far "the girls are not ready" and there was already a 0.6 version, not 0.5.

 

[Deleted member 4058859]

I don't think so. Annie/Nancy/Penny/Dalia/Luna/Alex/Nova are the main LI, Calypso will at most be a side girl. Unless he reveals it later as a surprise, I doubt Cari is going to change his mind on who the LIs are.

She may not be quite as important as the main girls but there is no way she is a side girl like eva or maat. She is a recurring character and she has a lot of narrative significance - more so than any of the main girls.

 

[Deleted member 3788582]

Yeah, sure, and While we're at it, it would be also hot if the Goat we buy for Luna, would Fuck her in the ass, huh? or Carolyn the Cat , licking Dalia's pussy.

Yeah let's make a petition to Caribdis to allow that. I'm sure, out of 4,442 paying Patreon customer, there would be at least 10 mentally degenerate who would love that. Seem like a good Business

 

[Dorfnutter]

Fate/Stay? , Well, I have not played the "games", and only saw the main show Fate/stay, , the Unlimited BladeWorks and the Fate/zero, which is the best
But personally, I wouldn't really use it as an example, however, Eternum is inspired by various popcultural medium , for sure.
I used my examples mostly because most of it are Isekai animes, that is definitely one of the main inspiration theme of Eternum.
If I really have to name one of the Anime, and I dont wanted to say it, because it's a bit controversial, as I heard, for some reason . despite I personally really love it

That would be Sword art Online

I refrained from mentioning Isekai because while there are tropes on the subject that are seen in the story, the plot beats and the way its presented does not follow the standard Isekai power fantasy journey. If anything, the entire story of Eternum is played out like a mystery story, more so than OIAL did. Orion isn't here to just play and power up and get the girls: he's investigating the circumstances surrounding Benjie's death. It's his curiosity that's driving the story forward, and is part of the reason why he's doing the things he's doing. It's also why I compared it to Fate/Stay Night, where the premise makes it sound like the story will be a straight up heroic battle royale when the actual way it was delivered made it feel like you're playing through a detective story minus the noir and jazz music as the main character tries his best to uncover the identities of the masters and the servants and trying to uncover the truth about the Grail War. The UBW adaptation kinda fucked that up by putting the spotlight on the battles, but some of the investigation beats are still there, the air of mystery is still there.

 

[ChipLecsap]

I think nothing will change if you avoid it , that scene itself doesn't give points (just talking about the BJ does)
I also don't like this kind of voyeurism, so I avoided that scene and everything gone normally with her

Yeah, I'm pretty sure, you won't be able to do anything with Nova in the future.
I can't wait for peoples to complain in 0.6 or 0.7, that why they can't continue with the Nova path, when they literally avoiding the Path

Hey, we not gonna busting our heads to each other over this,
I understand your opinion, But I also believe that Isekai is very much spot on too.
Mystery and Iiskeia, not goes against each other. Alice in Borderland, can be considered as an Isekai mystery. as for how much of a Power Fantasy Eternum will be ? , well Orion is pretty much gonna be OP once he learn how to control his power.

that's why, I said, that we can't really define Eternum with one specific Genre, and its inspired by various pop culture things.

One thing is sure, it has endless possibilities, and I can't wait for the Different Servers, expecially the Mermaid one, and the "Kinky Paradise" with Nova

I opened rar/zip file before extracting to make sure I knew where .exe file was located went to exact location where .exe file was in archived file but in my android .exe file didnt appear. going to check it again.
I wanted to play plenty of games which was available for only PC thats why I want to use it JoiPlay so much

Yeah, I don't get it. That Nova scene with her riding the dildo, showing off to Orion, the filth, the dirty talk was the hottest scene so far. They're so into each other and when they finally get the chance with each other, I'm hoping it'll be explosive

well i’m pretty sure i’m not one of them. Yeah, I mentioned that Luna and Nova scenes weren’t for me, but i didn’t want a full penetration either. I just wanted a bj/tj instead of masturbation, but no i definetly didn’t want any sex yet. This game is a slow-ish burn, but instead of few undetailed-nonsense sex scenes, you get some scenes that makes perfect sense with the story. Each character have an insecurity, and the mc is helping them defeat it, but with little steps, cuz thats how you defeat an insecurity. You just can’t go balls-deep into someone just bc they like you.
And as for the “don’t make 10 scenes short, make 5 long” thing, then not all of the girls would’ve gotten a scene. We all know you can’t go from zero to penetration, and if you intend to make the first steps(as in hj, bj) longer, theen it’ll take eternity for the story to process.

Choking Penny was also so damn hot...

 

[CheesusRice]

She may not be quite as important as the main girls but there is no way she is a side girl like eva or maat. She is a recurring character and she has a lot of narrative significance - more so than any of the main girls.

But she's not a love interest, I never said she wasn't important. The person I replied to was asking if Calypso was going to be a LI, and when you compare her to the 7 main girls, she won't be. Sure she'll have scenes and she's a major part of the overall story but in terms or romance partners she'll be nothing more than a side girl, unless Cari changes his mind about adding an 8th LI/reveals her as a LI later.

Choking Penny was also so damn hot...

Unless it gets dark(this is Caribdis so I doubt it) I don't think I will ever be able to choose anything but the rough option.

 

[far013]

We all know you can’t go from zero to penetration

Yes you can. Imagine, this is how it happens. You have some kind of teenage reasoning, apparently you are so used to this scheme in VNs, which I am talking about, that you can no longer perceive it differently.
According to your logic, for example in the scene with Nancy, this is just the perfect ending and there is no other way, because it would be "from zero to penetration"

No dark path but Penny like the rough way more that the "love" way , so indeed for me it will be the rough way.

Alternate timelines? Impending crossover? Building changed hands and renovated several times?

Seriously though, asset makers should make alternatives for college lobbies.

A realize it with every update, that this game has a soul. It is hands down the best AVN ever, even if compared to other AAAs. Mindblowing experience. The writing, the characters, the plot, lewdness and damn so much humor. Not to mention relatively quick and big updates, never disappoints. This dev is like God amongst devs. What talent.

There's no need for a further explanation, mexican chicks are supernatural, that's it.

Kinda barebones dont you think
