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

[OsirisHeir._]

They both confessed their love to Orion in 0.8, and both scenes were quite nice

 

[Vitriks]

Yes, and Penny has a crush on MC (she says as much to Nova, at the beginning of the party, giving Nova a bit of a crisis). No surprise that they would. Where have either Dalia or Alex admitted romantic attraction to MC?

Even outside of porn, "friends with benefits" (or put differently, "sex without romance") is a thing that people at least try to do IRL. I don't believe it's very successful for very long in most cases--I'd expect that most of the time, one of them catches feelings for the other before too long. But this isn't some kind of wild, weird, unicorn scenario.

All I'm asking not to make 180 degree turn after serious conversation to straight porn scene. Kiss would be more appropriate, but since they are "not ready" and game follows a certain pattern, devs made BJ scene there.

Alex straight up tells Orion that she loves him at the end of her latest scene, and Dalia tells Orion she loves him at the start of her latest scene.

Really overrated that it is suspicious in my opinion. At least as a porn VN it falls flat on its face solely by being one of those games where the LIs get maybe a full sex scene by the end of the game before calling it quits, maybe ~ 1 or 2~ more scenes if the LI has more screen time than the rest of the cast.

The game also also follows the cardinal sin of "stairway to heaven" porn progression, which most new VNs got rid off because it is simply not realistic depiction of passion and sex and kinda of stupid. Stair to heaven progression is when you progress through fellatilo and sexual acts like it is leveling . Makeout-->handjob--->thighjob--->blowjob--> etc etc.

Its not all bad. The girls are cute and the plot is entertaining, but as a porn VN, from a eroticism standpoint, it fails hard.

Nothing bait in what I am writing lol. Is just my opinion and its my first time commenting in this thread.

true. jumping into various threads and shitting on the game seems to be all you do. Goodbye troll

Overrated? It's a great plot with well developed characters and good writing/grammar. Since Eternum's launch there's been many copy cat VNs.

So, subjectively, sure, anyone can think it's overrated, but statistically it's one of the top rated AVN's.

There's plenty of "Porn VN's" out there with nearly constant sex. This one is more about the story, world, and characters.

This.... my friend, I would have to disagree, eroticism in this game is actually executed in a way far better than most VNs, think of it this way, porn = good, porn + plot = better, porn + plot + craving + guaranteed god tier animation = sum godly shit.
Basically, the longer you wait, the better the wine tastes, kinda like the first girl you hook up with at the respectable establishment and the cat goddess( I forget their names) vs Alex and Annie's absolutely DIVINE first sex scene, those two are worlds apart.
As for eroticism, think of a naked girl and one in a lingerie, pantyhose etc, the sexy clothing IS part of the main course, sure I'd love a naked girl standing in a doorway before me but a black see-through lingerie in a red lit room is something else my friend.

Sounds more to me like someone just ran out the door from Grand ma's house expecting all VN's to be like that. Eternum is absolutely, %100 top tier stuff. I get the sense that someone here has some form of allergy to reading?

or is under the mistaken assumption that Eternum is first and foremost a porn game.

So, it's been a fuck'n minute since I've been on this thread, but do we know if Caribdis is still in a state of insanity and is still going through with branching off the love interests or is that idea finally thrown in the incinerator?

 

[Ozymandias037]

...that was never a thing? There was a question of having branching scenes in one specific place but iirc it didn't happen. But in terms of LI relationships, this is and remains a harem game.

Good thing too, could you imagine trying to choose only one of them?

For point 1, restrictions are there because Ulysses likely deem those as disruptive to the Gem Hunt. A few stragglers are likely okay as they could be dealt with by Praetorians and be set as examples to the general populace when punished, but overall Ulysses likely doesn't want the "game" to devolve into a complete sandbox, not when the point of the VRMMO is to aid the Founder in his quest for the gems and to foster a competitive atmosphere as a means to accelerate the hunt.

For point 2, having sex with NPCs could potentially break the programming of their implants and bring back their original personalities or memories of when they were alive, potentially exposing the truth about the VRMMO to the public, which Ulysses obviously wouldn't want to happen.

For point 3, appearance isn't changeable coz of existing lore and media depictions regarding astral projections, which in almost all depictions are a 1:1 copy of the person's actual body.

So for Point 1, killing can help further the hunt because players will kill other players to get stuff that might help them search for objects and even gems, while rape does nothing to reach that goal, it´s just rape for the sake of it.

For point 2, the games NPC´s are so embedded in the game that their human memories are buried to deep for them to remember them? But did the game already start using real people as NPCs? How did they do that? I don´t remember.

For Point 3, it makes sense, but it sucks for people who don´t have the same physic as Orion or the girls.

Will Nancy ever get what she was looking for when the withdrawals hit?

What was she looking for again?

I don't see the point of doing a solo route. It's a harem VN, so going for solo routes just makes you lose most of the lewd content, alongside other... wholesome moments with the girls that aren't necessary lewd.

In this case, it´s not worth it to pursue anything other than the harem, since the story is headed that way. Some games have harem, this game is a harem.

Yeah, "creep on her in the bathroom" isn't exactly an intuitive way to keep her path.

In an AVN it usually is.

 

[Ungawa]

Spoiler: I mean, it's kinda obvious in the early part of the story...

You can be totally entitled in your opinions and dislike the game, but don't call it overrated. Calling something overrated is just a half assed way of trying to give more "uniqueness" in your dislike of something that is clearly loved by the majority

 

[Dorfnutter]

For point 2, the games NPC´s are so embedded in the game that their human memories are buried to deep for them to remember them? But did the game already start using real people as NPCs? How did they do that? I don´t remember.

I meant that since NPCs are implied to be brainwashed by the implant that's attached to them (mentioned by the "NPC" that greeted Orion at the entrance of the mansion where the Ulysses party took place), having sex with them could possibly break the implant's programming and cause them to remember their lives prior to being NPCs (I'm thinking this might be especially true for NPCs who used to be victims of sexual assault or rape), which could clue players in that not everything is as it seems. Thus it is expressly forbidden to have sex with them (or do anything to mess with their implant, for that matter).

Really overrated that it is suspicious

Eternum is the most played game on every pirate sites. It's on the forum, on a site unrelated to porn games but featuring 18+(and without) mobile downloads games.
It's also the most discussed game on every forum, among games like Badik and SG!

Yet, for some reason, the game is overrated? Hmm... that doesn't sound suspicious, it's your comment funny.
Considering the game overrated is like a contradiction; you can’t make decisions for other people; if you don’t like the game, move on, Because it's not only an erotic game but also a storyline.

Current guesstimates are either Late October or Middle of November for the highest tier (which will likely be leaked here if so).

I wonder if the dev meant public release when he said it would be released by the end of the year (it usually takes a month so if public release is December it should be out for high tier patrons in November). I was fully expecting a December release for higher tiers based on his statements.

Cari is aiming to release updates before the end of the year, as Dorfnutter said, for the highest tier, it could be released sometime around mid-November.

But there's one thing: everything depends on interference and a couple of delays...
so we'll hope the dev doesn't run into any issues and keeps moving smoothly on track.
