Nah the VN doesn't function w/o the MC. If there's any long time lapse it'll be off-screened.

This is obv meta but Carib D doesn't have the time to spend a sizeable chunk of 0.8 having Orion cross Snake Way before being reinserted back into the story
Im not saying the whole update just more than 10 minutes i dont want a scenario where his gunshot is just played up for a comedic scene.

Well we are all a little insane for believing there wasn't going to be a cliffhanger in the first place.:ROFLMAO:
I never believed there wasn't going to be one, but shit between not getting what I wanted with Luna and the end of update, I'm going to be waking up middle of night yelling Luna and Idriel till the next update :(

I just don't agree that Orion was really getting arrogant.
first of all put all this under spoiler(y).
second.

He was arrogant, mostly in his mind, for sure. But he was double crossed by el coyote, and instead of caution, he was ready to jump in to a very dangerous mission. He was very jumpy, when he heard the folks talking about him, and get uspet when they mistaked his name, and mostly the way he was talking about Thanatos.
technically Orion, haven't even face any real challenge since his fight against Thanatos , he used his superior Speed against way weaker opponents , and thought he is unbeatable now, and none can stop him.

. That is why instead of Walking forward, and ignoring the Junkies, he started to argue with them, thought that even in the " real life " none can stop him, they dont know who they dealing with " . He get a wake up call, in a sense in a very good moment, before this arogance could have costed somone else life, like one of the girls.

there is nothing wrong with confidence or even arrogance if you know when to be one and you have a reason to be, but truth is, he was far from being in that level.

The Founder an Immortal, William is the most powerful , and influential person in earth, and Thanatos basically a demi-god in Eternum. and Orion believed himself to be better than them, after a few week of playing the game, and after some minor victory over lesser opponents. He was wrong.

Caribdis himself said that we would be mindblown by 0.8's cliffhanger, if 0.7's was what it was, then oh boy.... the wait between 0.8 and 0.9 will be even more unbearable....

Its subtle but he was look at the piarate scene he completely looked past the Coyote just cause he looked normal.
I'll have to go back and see that part again but I'm pretty sure any arrogance he showed there was because he was still thinking the fake Coyote was the real one and as soon as his real identity was revealed anything like that went away. But for the sake of argument lets assume he was that makes 2 times he was slightly arrogant, still not enough to warrant the shit Idriel gave him IMO

I know for a fact the search function is broken on f95, it's been years and at this point it's just funny. The search works fine for me because I know in what way it's broken, though for searching comments? If you search for a compressed version good luck finding it in less than a minute.
With so many people has complain, why the fuck the forum admin is not changing the default search to recent post is beyond me.

I give you that that Idriel came out as a Bitch. :LOL: as I said, yesterday, I don't trust her, I believe she is an Antagonist....

I think if Carib D wanted to raise tension or stakes than the shot should have been on a side character we care and could feasibly die, like Cheng or Luna's dad. Orion being shot is just meh, everyone knows he isn't going to die and it's just a matter of if he's going to be out for 10 minutes or half a chapter. Cheng even had a death flag in this chapter with him finally asking his girl out, well in 4 to 5 months we'll see what happens.

Updated my compressed Android port of Eternum with LightmanP's multimod to v0.7.0 Hotfix.

Got some basic gestures loaded in: swipe up for save menu, swipe down to hide UI, swipe left to rollback and swipe right to skip. Save files are now stored in the Documents folder. This sometimes means that you may need to close and re-open the port after installing so the save folder is properly created.

Please let me know if you encounter any issues with the port and I'll see what I can do to get them sorted.

but this game is not that Dark, that is not the game intention. One of the reason why I love it, its not want to be more than what it is. Pure Entertainment.(y)

the excitement is not about whether he survive or not, but how and what happens next. frankly when he run in to the 2 junkie , I knew how this episode will end, but I was actaully hoping that his powers kicks in, and we find out, that He is already part of Eternum or something, or cant die like Thanatos.:unsure:

obviously the game might have " Bad Endings" they gonna be hard to achieve:LOL:, you purposely will have to make wrong decisions. But the purpose, is like a High School DxD . Harem King :devilish: :ROFLMAO:.

Overall good update. However, I kinda wish Cari adds more acknowledge toward solo paths. Like, Nancy for some reasons still calls me a

Yeah, I cant help but look at it from a metacontextual pov which is why it had no punch to it for me. We know Orion and the LIs have zero risk of dying until the VN is over (or nearly over for the LIs). There's no way to make a mortal risk convincing, so the only move left is to utilize it as a catalyst for a more important revelation.

Like you said, it'd be a different story if it were a side character. I think that was the magic of early GoT. You had no clue who the MC was, so when what you thought was the MC was suddenly aborted from reality it shocked the hell out of you. That ambiguity of who the MC was, and thus who was safe, is what made those deaths so effective and the story considerably less predictable. Thats unfortunately not something Carib D can do with Eternum which makes it predictable.

:unsure:

“We all know the world is full of chance and anarchy, so yes it’s true to life for characters to die randomly. But news flash: the genre’s called Fantasy. It’s meant to be unrealistic, you myopic manatee.”


sorry I got what you try to say,
but this just popped up in to my head
:LOL::ROFLMAO:
