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

[dante4ever]

YOU GUYS KEEP DEBATING AND STUFF..... IT'S BEEN 8 MONTHS DAMN IT!!!! WHEN is the NEXT Update coming out!??

the chapter 0.9 will be very big and meanwhile the developer has got many issues with copyright songs

 

[Punto]

Wait for the update ver. 0.9

 

[Radical_Dreamer]

These debates are wild lol.

It makes me wonder if the people debating even read the dialogue in the game. You can pretty much tell who is a virgin and who isn't based on the dialogue and their personality. Hell, in most cases that I recall, the actual virgin LIs admit that they're virgins in the game.

One of the best and amazing things about this game is the amazing storytelling and dialogue that Cari and team put into this game. If you skip through it for a fap, you are robbing yourself of an amazing story, and you're going to confuse yourselves on the LIs.

At the end of the day, debating who is a virgin and who isn't in the game is kinda silly to me - Again, if you actually pay attention to the dialogue and the story in the game, boom, you'll have your answers.

And yes, a virgin is just as capable of taking the D deep off rip as someone experienced. Believe it or not, each woman's body is different from the other in the real world; not all are made equal. Imagine that, right? Some women have a higher pain tolerance than others and can rock the horizontal tango just fine even after losing their virginity. So assuming an LI isn't a virgin based off of the fact that they could do the bedroom waltz just fine after swiping their V-card right is just dumb.

And Caribdis ... You are cruel, sir. Cruel. I came to this page and saw an UPDATE to 8.6.... AND IT WAS JUST SOUND! SOUND I TELL YOU!

My soul was aghast in pain and agony at the excitement I felt, until I read the changelog and had it dashed away like a harsh, cold wind in the icy month of December.

YOU FIEND!!!

... Anyways, drama aside, can't wait until the update comes out! I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS ONE!

EDIT: Also, I am kinda not surprised they had to change some of their songs lol. Funny as a lot of their uses were, I can imagine some heat was taken. I posted a while back that there was a specific scene where Cari used a clip from World of Warcraft's end scene when you kill the Lich King at the end of that expansion. Great song, and I love how Cari used it, but I can imagine Blizzard probably wasn't thrilled (though I can't confirm if that was one of the songs changed; haven't played through 8.6 to check).

Caribdis may have some Defloration fetish

That wouldn't be that unusual in porn, I don't think--or even if he doesn't himself, you can see that there's a lot of interest in the question, and I think more viewers/players (among those who have a preference) would prefer "virgin" to "non-virgin"--though that's just a guess on my part.

statistically speaking wouldn't make much sense

Statistics don't do very well predicting small populations, and we're only dealing with seven people here--and really, only with two. And the probability of Alex's or Penny's virginity is independent of whether anyone else is a virgin. If you flip a coin 20x, and the first 19 are heads, the probability that the 20th will be heads is still 50%. Similarly, according to ChatGPT (which is never wrong, of course), 65-70% of unmarried American 18-year-old women are virgins. And we know that Annie, Dalia, and Luna are, so what's the probability that Alex also is? It's also 65-70%.

in most cases that I recall, the actual virgin LIs admit that they're virgins in the game.

For one who's going on about reading, it doesn't seem you're reading too closely--we aren't talking about the people who have said they're virgins (Annie, Dalia, and Nova), nor about the one (Luna) everyone assumes is. The discussion is about Penny and Alex.

Again, if you actually pay attention to the dialogue and the story in the game, boom, you'll have your answers.

I'd love to see the dialogue that conclusively shows whether Alex or Penny are virgins.

Ah, my point exactly! I never said they were. The point I was trying to make is to pay attention to the dialogue, which gives you enough context to determine whether or not they are.

In both Penny and Alex's cases, I do not believe either are virgins. Penny knows way too much about her sexual preferences to be a virgin (i.e. she makes it VERY clear throughout the game she is into rough sex), and Alex oozes sexual confidence throughout her storyline (the handjob at the party out in the open, her stamina in her first sex scene with the MC, etc.).

That is why it is so important to read and pay attention to the dialogue! The clues are there. I never said it was spelled out for you, but it becomes pretty obvious (to me at least) that neither of those two are virgins.

SECOND EDIT: I am perfectly aware of what the topic is and added what I said for context. So need to get bent out of shape over it lol.

 

[danb35]

she makes it VERY clear throughout the game she is into rough sex

I don't know about "throughout the game," but she certainly says as much at Hogwarts (excuse me, Warthogs). Does she know this from experience? Or is this perhaps something she likes the idea of but hasn't experienced?

Alex oozes sexual confidence

Alex also projects a "tough girl" image, but she's a romantic at heart, even if she may not realize it herself. This could be another false front she puts on.

her stamina in her first sex scene with the MC

Nova's scene proves this meaningless as an indicator.

And for both of them, there's a question of "with whom?" Penny's only had one boyfriend, only for a few weeks, not very serious. They could have had sex, but not enough to explain her "know[ing] way too much about her sexual preferences." That could have come from a series of hookups, but she takes umbrage at the suggestion that she's promiscuous.

Alex? She's a loner by choice, almost no friends, can't really imagine her having a boyfriend. Hookups have the same problem as with Penny.

it becomes pretty obvious (to me at least) that neither of those two are virgins.

So you're drawing inferences from clues, like the rest of us. But some of us are giving greater weight to other clues that point in the other direction--because those are there too, and if you've been following the discussion, you've seen reference to some of them. This isn't a matter of people just not reading the dialogue; it's a matter of people interpreting and weighing the dialogue differently than you do.

I'm not a hardliner either way, but I don't think it's nearly as obvious as you seem to think it is.

The songs weren't changed due to copyright infringement. The songs were changed because a certain royalty free site didn't want to associate their music to adult stuff anymore, so they decided to change their ToS and sent C&Ds to AVN devs using their music (despite said AVN devs having purchased the licenses for their music fair and square), one of which happened to be Cari.

Edit: He talked about it at some length in a post

wait what is 8.6 supposed to be? bug fixes?

 

[FRVN]

wait what is 8.6 supposed to be? bug fixes?

From the OP:

v0.8.6 Public

• Necessary changes to sound were made

It was to remove songs that Cari is no longer allowed to use.

I see we are back on the cringe who is and isn't a virgin debate. This will probably go on between every chapter at this rate.

I personally believe both Alex and Penny are both virgins, based on what I seen and read in game.

If you think otherwise cool, I am not going to debate you, I am not going to argue you, I have what I think and my headcanon and you have yours. At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter, whether they are or aren't, so go with whatever you think best, cause its clear no one can agree, and people try to say they are right 100%, when they themselves don't know either and trying to push their own canon onto others without explicit knowledge. Just believe what you want cause it does not matter.

Can't wait to rehash this while discussion on this topic in a few months time.

My ego wants me to keep responding to this, but I made it clear (if you read my earlier dialogue ) that this topic is not worth that kind of time.

I just want to be clear that I literally only used instances that just came to my mind (it's been a bit since I've played), but there are many more references to them not being virgins. Hell, I only mentioned ones made by the actual LIs, and not the ones from other characters. But I am not going to go into it or I won't stop. xD

Toodles.

>threesomes

a penny/luna scene would make this game the greatest avn ever

 

[ADAS20]

Why does the MC warp directly into Eternum if there's a very real risk of death?

It's been a while since I last played (I'm replaying rn) but isn't it because it prevents him from getting tracked down by Ulysses and possibly Thanatos since he doesn't have an attached ID?

He does have an attached ID. But he has developed powers that allow him to teleport to Eternum realms and vice-versa without the need to 'log in'. Which means his actions on Eternum while doing so might not have been registered by Ulysses

 

[Leinad_Sevla]

I think the point being is that Nova is supposed to be a virgin and yet she took Orion's salami like a damn pro. Ergo, Penny and Alex's sexual performance is not a good gauge in determining that they are non-virgins if a virgin can match them just as well.

We don't have to assume Nova is a virgin; she says so, clearly, on more than one occasion. Yes, Penny's beautiful and popular, and also nice and therefore relatively approachable--she's presumably had opportunities that Nova hasn't. She hasn't had much in the way of relationships--one boyfriend for a few weeks--but that doesn't rule out a hookup.

But the argument I'm seeing from Dingolingo (to the extent there's any argument at all) is "look at their scenes; of course they aren't virgins." And Nova's scene completely repudiates that argument. There are other reasonable bases for believing them to not be virgins, but not that one.

Or that, stated more succinctly than I did.

Okay, my bad then. I didn´t read all the messages from the conversation, so that´s on me.
In AVN´s that logic goes out the window. Virgin or not, they´re all experienced pornstars.

Again, if you actually pay attention to the dialogue and the story in the game, boom, you'll have your answers.

My conclusion after the last update was always this: non-virgin: Alex, Penny and Nancy. Virgin: the others. Still, doesn´t really matter. It´s just fun to discuss.

the thread was cleaned up.. don't start it up again. xD

and thank you for having a brain.

 

[CarbyneX]

Next update? November?

 

[vsvsx92]

Next update? November?

As of last week, we stand at 68% (not nice)
We get about 6% progress every 2 weeks, so 12% a month
Divide 100 by 12 and you get around 8 months of development time
Version 0.8 came out for the public in January
Assuming that Caribdis has real life going on, we could stretch dev time to 9-10 months, so, yeah, about November sounds right

 

[Krytax123]

I love eternum but the development time is WAY too slow lately considering these are not huge 6+k render updates and there is barely any branching
