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

[di0]

levels in Eternum don't really do anything except provide someone access to special abilities and better equipment.

I wanted to make a note about levels.
Orion mentioned to be level 6 at heist planning scene, if i remember correctly. So level is not a function of time, there is exp system. You would think that a moment it becomes known that some action gives you exp, there will be server with x999 rates, and second after that open server with the same, just to spite first one. It's a small plot hole, i think.

Second, i think importance of level downplayed - if you need lvl 4 to use light spell, you would think in regards to combat advantages higher level requirements would have colossal impact on strength of the character. It turn this means game becomes "rocket tag", or players need to invest in armor heavily, given that it seems there are no in-build increasing toughness in form of hp or some other damage mitigation.

Caribdis work hard on his game. Not like WA dev who lies and milking customer every year.

I should've clarified. By "how much time you've spent in Eternum," I meant the time you've spent doing shit in it and learning what the servers/worlds can offer. It's less exp gain system like DnD or any traditional MMO and more like, say, a leveling system akin to The Elder Scrolls: the more you do something, the more you become good at it, which then adds up to your level.

1. There is some kind of feedback mechanism that gives pain/pleasure back to player, and why not death as well? I guess Jerry broke several rules and was an such asshole the moderators decided to euthanise him.
2. We don't know can she visit there or not. We know the portals won't work because she does not have a body on other side.

Damn!!!! Played it for the first time and it is awesone! I had lots of fun playing it. Excellent job, Caribdis ! Now, I'll try your previous game!

This game is easily the best of this site, and it's only at 0.3. Amazing.

Probably an oversight on Caribdis' part. Maybe the original concept for Eternum is akin to how VR works in the modern day before he updated it to work like SAO/The Matrix instead.

Yeah, there's probably some way to capture gameplay footage, but not available to anyone outside the software company. Otherwise their law enforcement wouldn't work.

Ah it's good that I'm replaying the game again since I almost forgot about this gem of a scene and every time I'll replay this scene from now on

I'll manually play this in the BG

I think it's more of a fame based reward system. You get xp by being an active player, being there, interacting, training, going questing, seing places. Kinda the opposite of the traditional grind and get higher stats online gaming scheme.
It's even pretty clear that it's more important to have actual fighting skill and confidence with the magic lore then having levels per se, apart from reaching locked options or pieces of equipment.

Actually it's kinda better that way, if you ask me. It remember mi when used to larp. Higher level characters had their advantages, but being myself a rather competent fighter i could kick ass even with base level characters.

It can be the reason.

If I'm not mistaken, Lauren was talking about it before it came out right? So, she may have been talking about trailers, "in engine" gameplay footage kind of thing. The company may put out "in game" trailers even still to get people interested but there is nothing like streaming gameplay footage. That's just how I took it though; Lauren was talking about gameplay trailer footage, while Annie was talking about streaming gameplay.

Luna best girl period.
That scene of MC defending Luna from what her ghost (or whatever it was) was so... Wow, loved.

 

[Bse]

Question: 1. So the Poop of doom was Found and AI make it Pouplic when MC found one Nothing?
2. The Gear for Ethernum is NOT Compabil to other but Luna has 1? so MC has now 2 Gears even after win one?
3. How is the Other come to the Restictet Server ? Like Nova Hacking and How The Player Or the Invader Knows he had the Poop of Doom?
This is the Rules you set yourself for it and you are break it for story? Bye bye

As much as I wanted to make a joke about Luna being great but Nova being best girl, I honestly can't do it. Luna is great. I just don't think there is a subpar love interest in this game, they are all wonderful...

1. When the Mc found the Gem there was an announcement just not to the MC because he was the one who found it.
2. The link equipment in your brain is not transferable, the MC wins one, Luna already had one. The suits and googles can be used by anyone if they fit them.
3. We don't know how Thanatos got to the locked server but I'm sure we will later. There is a lot about him we don't know, like why his eyes look weird or how he survived getting his heart punched.
No rules set by the developer have been broken.
