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

[Bingoogus]

Does Nova have a very present role in the game? I have a strong personal distaste for the over-used medical eyepatch girl trope from anime and i'm hoping she doesn't spend much time on screen.

Better find another game then.

Really? Ugh, i don't hate all eyepatches, just the flimsy medical ones that have cords going all over the face, pirate ones are great, even kind that hook around the ears like glasses can look pretty good if made from the right materials but the medical ones are such an over used trope and they're so ugly, and very impractical for long term use, anyone with a genuine need to wear an eyepatch for more than a few weeks would want to invest in one that looks far less ridiculous and is far more comfortable.

Luna's Father (Mr. Hernandez) could be keeping a big secret?

I don't think Mr. Hernandez has anything to hide. He just seems normal, but I did notice similar things to you, mostly that most of the story so far gets there because of Luna.
Luna is the one that gets you the implant in the first place. She's giving out flyers, supposedly to promote her dads business. But the flyer is written in eternum's language, which she admits barely anyone even knows, even among eternum players. So what would be the point of writing the flyer in that language, the ones genuily interested to win an implant would never really speak the language. So the flyer seems more like an excuse to tell Orion about the competition so he can win an implant.
His first big breakthrough is finding the gem of doom in the red herring server, which Luna brought us to. Luna also introduced us to Nova, a super-hacker who also happens to be a highly skilled eternum player with a weapon of atlas. Nova, who just happens to find a lead on the third weapon of atlas right after so we can find it.
None of the main story, not Calypso, not the heist, not the dinner, would be happening without Luna subtly pushing Orion in that direction.
I don't think she will turn out to be evil or something like that. I am pretty convinced that she is working with the Syndicate. After everything she is also the one who recommends us that we follow what the syndicate said in regards to the letter.
But so far the Syndicate only helped us. So either they will not turn out to be evil, or if they do then luna will not have been in the know about it.

Ok i wanted to play this game once fully out but my patience has run out

I don't like to play episodic games while they are not finished, not even anime until it's all emitted. But after Life is Strange, and some VN here (like this one) I just wasn't able to wait at all hahaha.

The fuck? Read my entire response, dude. What I only said and meant is that while the references are there, what happens in the myth doesn't necessarily mean it has to play out in the same way. This is a VN with multiple paths after all, so Orion might get a kinder fate than his myth counterpart (unless the endings for this game are like Saya no Uta where every ending is just a variation of bad or worse).

I think our own mythology is "fake" or inspired in the real one (Eternum) at least based on what we learn about Alien. So it helps as a guide but yeah, there isn't a lot of sense in expecting the same as the myth.

What do you think? Some strange creatures traveled to our world in the past (like elven races, monsters, etc) but for some reason that connection was lost on the past and our dark ages mythology (for example) is 'real'? Or it was just fictional inspiration based on Eternum experiences (the worlds, not the game).

It reminds me a lot of Dragon Age. Were mages can travel to a dream plane consciously, while others have only flashes.

It's a cliché used in an innovative way. The character has an interesting personality, and grows when facing new experiences. So even if it's used to make a physical distinction (like other hairstyles or clothing styles) it's used in a positive way that it's really enjoyable. Nova is a character that we love because of how she is, si there is a lot more than the eye patch to define her.

Give her a chance.

I'm leaning on the latter if only to maintain the idea that Eternum is possibly older than the Earth itself, and that the neural implant is just the latest way humanity can travel to it.

I wouldn't rule out the former though, if only because Astaroth from OIAL exists, and it's highly possible that he came from Eternum a long time ago (albeit without a physical body iirc). I also theorized earlier that The Founder might have come from there and is trying to find a way to physically get back to his world (like Ulysses from the Greek myths...hell, I wouldn't even be surprised if that's his actual name, and that he named the company after himself). But after the events of the party in 0.4...I dunno, that last theory is likely gonna get debunked if it turns out that the Founder only exists in Eternum and not in the real world/material plane.

So the game is currently on update 4, as a measure of my progress i'm wondering if someone can give me a sort of measuring stick, i don't give a hoot about being spoiled or anything but what is the end point for each update? I just got done with the project at Alex's house, am i even past 0.1?

Should be around 0.2, if I remember right.

And the marker for the end of 0.3?

And the marker for the end of 0.3?

When Orion (MC) opens the door after someone knocks during the Heist meeting.

But after the events of the party in 0.4...I dunno, that last theory is likely gonna get debunked if it turns out that the Founder only exists in Eternum and not in the real world/material plane.

But what if the Founder doesn't came from in Eternum nor exist in the real world? What if the Founder exist from a different world/realm then "became" a Founder? We know that Eternum players has one main objective "to collect the 10 Gems of Doom and claim the throne of Eternum " If the game already exist for a longtime ago how many players finished this quest, how many players claim the throne of Eternum, is the player became the Founder or it is a scam or the outcome is different from what Idriel stated. What if collecting the Gems of Doom will make you claim the throne of Eternum but has a effect of losing your world. What if the Founder was a victim of this and all the NPC of the game, Cause if the Eternum exist long time ago How many Person became the Founder? and if it was a scam and it has a effect of losing your world how many world were ruined by Eternum?

What if Eternum is a collection of different worlds, realms, dimensions, souls, people trapped in the game were their actions were controlled by a chip (neutral implant). If this is the truth behind Eternum could Orion's world is the next target, a new set of NPC and world victim added to Eternum.

In the party a strange man appeared and talk to Orion, he said this strange things:

This could be answerable by YES / NO
If YES who is this man? how did he obtain this power? Does the Founder already obtain the power of a god.
If NO then who is behind the mystery of Eternum, Does this is his way to have the control in every realm in the universe?
Idriel said that the Founder is "just a man" this could be a hint or just a sarcasm. If the Founder has limitless possibility in Eternum, why who he give his position to a random player who'll collect the Gems? Could be the Founder is just a victim, a scapegoat, or just a pawn. It was stated that the chips the NPC'S had is the same as Orion's neutral implant there's a possibility that their world will be the next victim and turned in to NPCS following the commands and what they say.

Also the Founder has Ouroboros in his chest and the letter that the Syndicate give has a symbol of Ouroboros in it could the Founder is also a member of Syndicate or "once" a member of Syndicate... or worst not.

You have literally just alienated more than half of this board. Maybe 90%+.

Oh well, feel free to dogpile me with facepalm reactions then, can't help what i like or dislike, only asked cause i was hoping she was some minor character, i later realised she's a main love interest and i'll just have to deal with it if i want to see the rest of the game, thankfully she wears a far better eyepatch in-game so now i only have to be bothered by her RL patch. Also, i figure most people are fully capable of not flipping out cause someone doesn't share their love of their waifu so even if i have alienated 90% of the people here, only the really insecure types are going to attack me for it, the first person to properly respond to it was quite civil and that's about what i'd expect from most people who disagree with my subjective preferences.

You insulted the waifu of the masses, we will dogpile you and attack you personally, nothing personal.

I'm hoping there will be at least a few that are less civilized - shit storms can be so much fun to observe.

I just want to gift her a proper eyepatch, something more comfortable and reusable, no awkward strings rubbing on the nose and eyebrows... I didn't know i was inciting a crusade from a church of chuunibyou waifu fanatics...
