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

I would love to get faster updates, but IMO a longer dev cycle allows for a more significant story arc to happen than you could get with a shorter dev cycle. So I'll take a long dev cycle with a more interesting story over a short one with a simple story any day. I agree that this game is very linear but as long as I go into it knowing that I'm ok with it.

Maybe he'll do more branches and choices that make more difference in his next game. Even if he doesn't I think he's one of the better devs out there from a storytelling standpoint for adult games. I would find the story for this game interesting even if there weren't any sex scenes. Can't say that about most adult games I've played. A lot of them I just skip to the sex scenes and ignore the story. Not this one.

I´m not starting anything, I was just answering. But I won´t be surprised if this topic comes back eventually.

I understand the feeling, I whish updates took half the time they do.
That said, I don´t understand a lot of how these games are made but I´m going to say this and anyone should feel free to correct me: what makes the development time so long isn´t so much the renders, which are great but still not the best thing out there, it´s the animations. The animations in this game are incredible, but to make them like that it must take a terrible ammount of work and that is, in my opinion, why development is so long. It also "helps" that this specific update coming out is going to be the biggest so far, so that´s also why it´s taking longer than others.

Everyone wishes the updates were faster, but, at the risk of sounding like an echo chamber, quality takes time. I'm saying this as someone who checks in every so often on the status but doesn't follow the development with a magnifying glass though, so take it with a grain of salt.

We can compare this game to any other out there and say "this one updates even slower and has less content" or the opposite, but regardless of the resolution of the renders, branching paths, the amount of people working on it, the quality of the rendering PC, there's one thing I can say confidently. Cari has never missed. Sure, the quality increase between Eternum and OIAL is astronomical, but even back then, Cari delivered. Each update is both well thought out and content rich, even if personally, they're still oh so painfully short, but I'm greedy. I haven't played many games where I liked every LI and want more of.

Anyways, before I go on a massive tangent, we're all in the same boat. We want more. But I don't think it's fair to say that the updates should be faster simply because it's basically a static novel. Just my two cents though lol

Gonna ask a maybe dumb question, is 8.6 just bug correction etc or you can continue after the 8.0? I reload a save but had the same ending in 8.0.

Ah ye ok seen the changelong. Damn need to wait more months

Four lewd scenes...

The thing is, the game is far enough along now that 4 lewd scenes probably means Luna finally going all the way, oral with Calypso, and maybe 2 threesomes? I'm hoping for both a Dahlia/Alex threesome and an Annie/Luna threesome personally. Also crossing my fingers that Calypso's scene is a 69 :)

What do you guys think of Caribdis sharing more of the development with the Sneak Peeks and updates? Since each update is getting longer and longer, maybe it could make the wait feel a bit better with one more Sneak Peek or maybe more insight into the plot.
