Just started playing this game and it's amazing, they got me at the first dark souls reference hahahaha. Definitely going to get it if they go to Steam or make a kickstarter.

Well there won't be a kickstarter for this game or anything like that. There is Patreon/subscribestar to support this game while it's being developed but it'll be released for free at the end regardless. Unless you mean a kickstarter for a future, much bigger project? I'd still find that unlikely

It cannot be on steam because renders are made using honeyselect and you cannot sell games made by it. It will not be on kickstarter because there is nothing to kickstart.

If you want to support development you can consider doing a pledge on patreon:

If eternum is like once in a lifetime which ended in 1.0 then the story is on the half way, but still not seeing many progress to the main story which compare to oialt was already counting one of the FIVE in 0.5, maybe needed more updates than oialt to end the story? :unsure:

I don't know details, but I've seen people say Caribdis has mentioned going past 1.0 in this game ... or just having more than 10 updates before the final (.11, .12, etc.). Either way, I wouldn't worry.

yeah someone can correct me if im wrong, but i believe i remember hearing that this game is gonna be quite a lot bigger (~50% more?), so we might only be a third of the way through after this update. I might have pulled that number out of my ass but i'm pretty sure i read it somewhere.

The developer has mentioned that there will be more than 10 updates - 0.10 is not the same as 1.0. It will go to 0.11, 0.12 ... until its done.

Had to dive through the comments section of Eternum's Itch.io page since Caribdis made some comments there regarding story length.

And here they are, straight from the man himself:

Merry Christmas!

Hello guys!

I just wanted to wish you all happy holidays

Thank you for a wonderful year.

I hope 2023 will bring you many successes and a lot of adventures in Eternum (the latter is guaranteed )

Let's continue this journey together!

There won't be Monthly Wallpaper in January so I can focus 100% on finishing 0.5. If all goes as planned, it'll be released during mid-late January!

Thanks again for supporting me during all this year

And stay awesome!

Love you <3

Why are the updates of this game so slow? I ask because I saw that the creator receives +4000 patrons, which assuming they are of the lowest value (2.5 EUROS) gives a total of 10000 Euros. Unless I'm wrong and patrons aren't people who support, then he receives enough money to do more constant work, right? let's take gunsmokegames as an example, they receive 3900 patrons assuming they are 1 dollar, he receives 3900 dollars per month, but his updates are almost every 1 - 2 months, and I think he is the only one working. Well this may just be how I perceive the situation of this game, but I feel that the updates are too slow. Could someone explain to me please, what is the general situation of this game in terms of its updates? =

Comparing developers of different games is a futile exercise. Just forgetting the quality of the games in question (which obviously factors in), each developer or developer team has their own circumstances, considering financial resources, time available, real-life situations, computer power, etc, etc.

Releases for all games come out when the developers are ready. I have never seen that complaining about it does one jot of good - never.

Thanks, I was just thinking and asking from my ignorance, certainly each "Company" has its own personal circumstances, but I don't know about these of this project. That's why I asked if someone could explain to me what are the circumstances why the updates of this game are slow?

I dont think anybody except the developer can answer that. I would imagine that the game has a lot of custom assets so that might be whats taking time. I feel like only this update was especially long though - usually updates are out in 4 month intervals.

I am fine with this because I remember that the dev took time off this update cycle + we have holidays (christmas + new year). And this is no big deal - everybody needs vacation time once in a while I go on longer vacations on my actual job. I personally am a supporter and I have been satisfied with the content + quality of updates we have received so far given the wait time.
