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

[Ozymandias037]

Yeah, but i seriously wish i shouldn't have touched this till it ended. Just finished another 6 hours session with force stoppage. The joy of immersing in this and sadness of hitting quit is diametrically opposite ends of circle. I think I have another 2 sessions left of 6 hours till im all caught up.
Question- whats the avg time between 2 updates?

Several months. Like 6-9.

It's worth the wait every time.

there is... the word ''initial' is misspelled as ''intial''... But it's one of those things that unless you're really looking for it or it get's pointed out you'll never notice...

I've dm'd Caribdis here before with bug reports and he's responded. Just make certain to have the subject line read: BUG REPORT
Good catch btw.

Bad idea...and welcome to the darkside where you will be joining us in waiting for next update or end up replay the game multiple time after blazing through the story once.

Posting here just to show my appreciation for the game, Caribdis stuff legit changed my perspective on WEGs as a whole. Also starting to develop a MILF fetish, god damn. I was not expecting Eternum to be half as fun as it was, it's a blast to play after a slowish start.

For any other scaredy-cats like me searching the thread for horror spoilers:

Bruh when the piano started playing in my first playthrough during the horror section, I noped the f outta her route until next playthrough lol. Turns out it doesn't get much worse than that, but I sure wish there was a horror toggle to go with the pregnancy toggle. That and I HEAVILY disagreee with whoever said OIALT is scarier, it's like saying Resident Evil is scarier than Fatal Frame.

I just finish 0.8 and wow how that ending happened was not what I had imagined it. My version of the story in general was that Calypso was the actual last of her people and that they were wiped out and she and Orion would come across an Immortal who recognized her and was on of the very ones who imprisoned her and he would drop the bomb on them and theyd be all like whaaat

First 4-5 chapters were fantastic, but have just come back to play the latter part of the game and have found the writing to have dropped off in quality significantly in order to include more sex scenes, which have been fine if a bit vanilla. I thought the story was what made the game interesting, and am wondering if the people in general find that the trade off for more sex is worth the drop in writing quality. Seems like it's morphing into a standard harem game for me. That might be impacting my perception as I'm generally not a fan of mc-can-do-no-wrong harem games, but whatever.

The game is turning more and more similar to Once in a Lifetime, plot suffers due to character branches and NSFW options tying into a harem. Original writing has been lost since the wild west server adventure, and even that was milquetoast at best. I know it's now late to add new characters but since we have 3-4 major latches left to conclude the story, we all know it will be fan service for most popular LI picks and nothing else.

It's kind of funny to hear people say the writing quality has dropped when I'm currently playing the game at a slow pace and watching how Cari had a lot of callbacks and foreshadowing put straight into what everyone is complaining about. For the first 3 updates, the girls are introduced, given a bit of shine, their own moments, and even paired off as a rule of 3 that continues to the most recent updates.

In terms of "character branches", you could choose where to go in Warthog and that's in Update 2 which has you pairing off with Penelope and Luna, one just getting into Eternum, one experienced to help you learn a lot about this particular setting. I'm failing to see what "NSFW options" are tied into a harem. You lose a girl's path, they're not in the harem. You have a few places you can go and options to do but this is always an option:

The game is well written and a fun read. Anyone denying that is just wrong.

But it isn't a "branching story" by any means, there is no reason for a player to go for one branch over the other, except in a case where the player doesn't like a LI. The Warthogs area isn't a branching path, you get the same outcomes more or less and all other choices are mostly "flavour" choices where you don't get more or less scenes out of picking different options. This is not to say Eternum is a bad game, it's one of the best games out there but more of a kinetic VN.

Having one true path doesn't make it kinetic considering that there are still choices one can make that can potentially lead to bad ends (like choosing Destruction magic for Penny despite walkthrough saying that we should pick Restoration magic or Annie reseting her level if she dies in the Andromeda date because Orion never had the pendant or taking the Amulet of Blair from the Founder despite the walkthrough and Cari himself repeatedly stating not to take it). VNs like Fate/Stay Night basically have similar "branching" where there is only one "canon" path per route while the rest of the choices lead to alt "good" endings or mostly bad ends that send you to the Taiga Dojo.
