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

[Dorfnutter]

As Bardot described it, Immortals directly accessed the realms of Eternum. The astral projections are a workaround The Founder devised to allow normies access. Immortals like him, and eventually(presumably) Orion, as well as Anima and those she passed her ability on to don't need astral projections. We've seen portals to Eternum open at random near Orion, which I take to be early steps toward unlocking this ability for him.

As I said, normies can access Eternum through dreams/daydreaming/hallucinogenic means. Unless you're implying that the creator of Alien was secretly an immortal. Or just about every single creative in the planet since the revelation absolutely confirms that the assets from different media that we have been seeing in Eternum (i.e. the Destiny 2 Sunshot being used by a Praetorian in Ion, Annie's Ion Swords being the ones used in Nier: Automata) ARE the original concepts, and not the other way around.

The only thing the nerve implant-astral projection system does is it allows a more stable means for a normie to stay and remember their time in Eternum without the danger of losing the connection by waking up on their own or they are woken up by others. Which is what the Founder needs if he's going to deceive people into finding the Gems for him across the various worlds of Eternum.

See Immortals' abilities above. The exit portals are constructs created to allow user access to specific realms of Eternum. They are essentially a cordoned off section of Eternum designated for player use. This 'cordoned off' property maybe related to what is keeping Calypso from opening a portal home. Since The Founder created the portals, he should in theory have the ability to create an alternative means of getting around for his enforcers.

Quoting what I said:

Re: Exit Portals - I was under the impression that Exit Portals only work for players because it's an anchor point between Eternum's worlds and our world and you have to have a body to return to for it to work. Of course an NPC wouldn't be able to use it because they won't have a body to return to since their connection is likely severed. That, or their bodies are already rotting six feet under.

@Cardibis is the best Adult Game Dev for me. The comedy, story and art all are top notch.

But somehow I feel Penelope went from one of my favourites to my least favourite because the interactions seem too pushy/fake with her. The scene cut to after naked MC ran away from the studio to a few days/next day was also a big letdown. We did have a phone chat, but something felt missing. Same with after the Nova scene. Till now Alex had a good followup after doing it and I hoped to see some similar meaningful chat the following day or something. But still, nothing can be perfect for everyone, many people probably might dislike my idea.

Is it only me or was the relationship with Alex seemed the most nicely developed relationship?(Loved that development pace and banter between them)

Okay had to do a triple-take on this but I absolutely lost my shit laughing.

I understand where you're coming from, I think this is a symptom of having too many characters, to the point where you can't give all of them enough of a spotlight to make it more natural. If you do give them enough spotlight, the game instead becomes too long and boring. Check "My New Family" for instance. That game ended up with so many characters, each character kind of got the spotlight but that made the game way too long and it still felt unnatural, in my opinion .

I think this game suffers a bit from the same, but not enough to make it a significant downside.

I'd say whatever happens in the real world, MC will be logged into eternum automatically at the beginning of ep.9, like he was several times during sleep.

So do we think Idriel is that elf from the story Calypso told last update? I originally assumed the story was just to show the parallels between our story and the past but maybe there's some time stuff going on here or it's actually a prophecy? Idriel doesn't have any elf ears though so maybe that's not where this is going


Thoughts on update:

I personally think this is the weakest update for Eternum but that's not to say it's bad or anything like that. It just feels like we didn't really accomplish much apart from recruiting some monster allies which felt a little random to me but maybe I missed some dialogue that explained it a little better. The Penny event was cool but it just felt like it only existed for the MC to have sex with her on a Lamborghini (nothing wrong with that though). I was also a little bummed that we didn't get to go on the Pirate adventure. The update felt pretty short too considering this is the longest it's ever taken Caribdis to release an update

Still gonna keep giving Caribdis my money every month though. Hoping for a quick update!

That would blow ass man, sorry but I just don't like it. Trouble in Paradise tried something in that direction and went to shit ever since. Make him disappear for a short while I don't care but pulling a momentary villain is a sure way to piss off 2/3rds of your player base. A power ascension like that also doesn't feel earned since he is the one being saved by his loved ones -> characters shouldn't ever be rewarded for being saved but for doing heroic deeds.

I did play My New Family, but I think story wise it was nowhere near Eternum anyways, also that game became boring after the whole huge Harem thing started which does happen with many other games because you are just jumping in bed from one to other or multiple girls.

I don't think a game like Eternum or Being a Dik will become boring just because of longer development for characters. I am playing Hillside as well and that is a game which have probably the slowest relationship development, and honestly I just keep waiting for next chapter. If it is done right which I believe Cardibis can do without an issue, I am sure the game won't become boring with proper development between characters.

No one else getting this error on the unmodded version?

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

i think some tropes resonate with public more than others. Relatively speaking each LI has some tropes and big aspects of their personality's are clishe. Alex is just one of those that have so many relatable character tropes or simply put lot of her character hits too close.
Penny is extrovert, lowkey celebrity, "the popular girl"
Daliah is eater, competitive, "the tough girl"
Annie is shy, timid, scaredycat, "the childhood friend"
Nancy is "milf"
Nova is nerd
you get my point.
Alex is the one that have daddy issues, family problems, shows vulnerability while also showing she is strong character by trying to be independent... There is lot to unpack or desire.
Also i love how you said Penelope went from favourite to least favourite because i feel like that fits my point perfectly. When you look for something long term, girls like penelope normally end like that. Great start and quick burnout. Once you get past the rush of getting the popular girl and now have to deal with whats beneath the fame, its not that interesting

I just finished playing Realm Invader and found it quite satisfying. Its humor is a bit more on the nose and out there so that might be a make or break for some. It's early on in its development but has a few hours of reading time already. Might be worth checking out the page here on f95 at the very least.

 

[Yvier the Duck]

Honestly I think it is a bit of a mistake to have all the girls become the same in sex scenes. Like the all want it hard and have him come inside etc.

I think they are different.
Alex tries to control but loves being controlled, Penny loves being submissive, Nova starts submissive but ends dom as fuck and Nancy is just dom.
Annie feels like Penny but less raw, Luna feels like Nancy but less "mommy" and more "dame más papito" and Dalia is the mistery for me, but probably just like Alex or Nova.
When the trios starts is when we'll see the difference between then better, is still early for that.
