VN Ren'Py Eternum [v0.8.6 Public] [Caribdis]

[Little Penguin]

Two hours until the weekend ends in Spain and thousands of people hitting F5 like their lives depend on it to read the progress report.

I love the sandbox elements. What I hate is the tendency for choices that matter but isn't clear why. As well as gating content behind content that doesn't seem to be relevant to that.

I'm pretty sure it's the influence from older Japanese VNs on Eternum you can thank for that. From what I understand, it's pretty common for seemingly trivial and unrelated choices to have major consequences later. I guess the idea is to extend playtime since people needed either multiple playthroughs or a walkthrough to get the perfect endings.

Personally, I don't have the patience for that, so I use the walkthrough.

Are we getting a no progress report today hattrick

I don't play Eternum for the challenge of clicking the right narrative choices or solving the puzzles. It's not a game, it's an AVN. Picking the wrong choice like opening the envelope or accepting the Founder's gift, or not commenting on the pen, and missing out on content is not something I want to do. I just want to see all the content from all the girls I can.

True, if at least those decisions were actually about picking up girls... but it's just random sheet with hidden meanings.

Yeah because you really need walkthrough when its say " Slap her ASS "

Too bad there's no way to turn option 3 into something other than the obvious bad ending. Technically you can get 1 stroke in but it's just not worth it.

Getting flashbacks to those real oldschool Japanese VNs, like Three Sisters Story

Looks like Cari is still very hard at work finishing the update in time.
The Progress Report was supposed to come out a few days after the 5th, then Thursday, Friday, the weekend and now that passed too.
He said release dates early next week, which I guess would be Tuesday now and the Progress Report tomorrow. Not sure if he would just merge the two at this point?
Now I would guess release on the 26th or no later than the 28th.

Exactly my point,We come here to turn off our brains and turn on our dicks not the other way around by solving puzzles and doing math.Let us fap peacefully,My sincere request to all the devs

I seriously do not know why devs don't just automatically include an in-built walkthrough guide and unlock all gallery scenes options in the menu, that anyone can turn on and off at their whim. There is zero reason not to, and it would be very helpful for those us.

He said the update itself is not delayed, so there is still hope. I really wish he could release it on 23rd, coz after 25 there wouldn't be much time for me to play it

tbh,do people even need the progress report itself Seems like Cari takes it seriously and want to write something really important there.
But,only the release dates would be enough
