VN Ren'Py Eternum [v0.9.0] [Caribdis]

[rta001]

The irony is, a lower price for day-one access might bring in more long-term subscribers. E.g. I subbed to be able to play the previous Ripples update on day one. Although I reduced the tier of my subscription, I still kept it. But the 100 euros price point feels prohibitively expensive.

This is my problem. I hadn't looked at Demon pricing in a few years, but I like to support games I love so normally when they release I'll drop $15 to $30 to play them on Day 1 whether I can pirate them or not because I respect the work that goes in them and how much joy they bring me.

...then I saw that Demon Tier was almost $200 dollerydoos and remembered why I couldn't justify it, even as a Christmas present for myself. And I'm not not going to play it as soon as I can, so instead of a reasonable amount from me, they end with nothing.

I absolutely don't blame them for charging whatever they want, and I'm not bitching because inevitably it'll end up here within a few hours, but $200 for what amounts to two or three hours of content will just never swing my fun to price needle in their direction.

Caribdis said he was negatively impacted by anxiety in his development of 0.9

Well, I have an update for that lol >75% chance getting cured, but he might stop caring so much about one thing only, which it might be even worse

I'm afraid these things sadly are not something that "get cured" in a short time span.

Hello everyone!!!
Hope everyone is having a fantastic start to the week!
CARI WHERE IS THE PROGRESS REPORT???
No panic! IT'S RIGHT HERE!
Sorry for the slight delay on this post, I was prioritizing the update itself, which, as you’ll probably be delighted to hear, won’t be delayed!

0.9 is finally upon us!
I know it probably feels like I have been repeating the same thing a thousand times throughout the year… but let us sum it up one last time
This is a big update, even bigger than 0.8. It includes four new fully animated lewd scenes featuring different girls from our harem, thousands of new dialogue lines, new songs, new adventures, new gameplay mechanics, and much more!

• Over 2,000 new renders
• Over 90 animations
• Over 20,000 lines of code

I will share the exact numbers in two days when the changelog goes live, but as you can see, it's a big update, at least compared to my usual standards. Next updates will be slightly smaller (and with a shorter dev time too).
You know I love packing each update with a wide variety of scenarios, and 0.9 is no exception. (Mild spoilers ahead.) If you remember the ending of 0.8, we were transported to Hyril’ar with Calypso after our battle against Thanatos, so a significant portion of this update takes place there. Fortunately, the elves will surely be thrilled to see their princess returned safely in the arms of a human. So there is absolutely nothing to worry about.
…Right?
We will also spend plenty of time back in Kredon, including lots of slice-of-life moments, funny scenes, cozy interactions, and more romantic bonding moments with your favorite girls. It will even be around Christmas in the game (isn’t it fitting? ), but make sure you don't forget about your ultimate goal either… because our enemies certainly never do...
Will you be able to handle everything without losing any of the girls’ affection along the way?
I suppose we shall see…
Remember you can read all previous progress reports and check out every sneak peek right here on Patreon!

This year has not been an easy one.
Aside from some personal matters I would rather not go into, there was the music licensing issue at the beginning of the year, which forced me to replace a large portion of the game’s soundtrack. That was especially hard for me, as music means a great deal in my work, and I truly would not have managed without the help of the community.
On top of that, itch.io temporarily removed adult games from its catalog during a wave of censorship (caused by payment processors) aimed at anything labeled as adult content. That uncertainty added yet another layer of stress to an already difficult period.
I struggle with anxiety at times, and this year has been particularly challenging. Those of you who deal with it (or depression) will understand that it is not always rational, yet it can make it really difficult to be functional.
Even within such a small and niche space like AVNs, the more visibility you gain, the greater the expectations become. More opinions, more criticism, more fear of not living up to what people hope for. I fully understand that everyone wants the game they love to go in a certain direction, but it is impossible to satisfy every expectation.
I always try my best to improve, to stay productive, to create the best thing I can, but in the end I'm still the same guy, and I know my limits.
I hope you guys always continue playing the game with the same spirit I had when I first started: to laugh, to get to love the characters, and above all, to simply enjoy the adventure despite its flaws.
As for me, I can only feel grateful for the community I have. Every comment, every message, and every show of support means more than I can ever express. When I say at the end of my posts that you are the best, those are not just words. I truly mean it.
Thank you guys ❤

Caribdis, that's a lot of text!
WHEN UPDATE???
Well, I am happy to announce that everything went according to plan during this final stretch, so… YES! IT'S THIS WEEK!
As usual, I will be posting the final changelog and the final release dates for each tier in a single post soon (probably this Wednesday). There is still some work left to do, but the plan is to release the update for Demon Lord tier this FRIDAY 26th, right after Christmas! After that, there will be a few weeks of early access following the schedule for the different tiers, like always.
So now more than ever, STAY TUNED FOR THE DEFINITIVE CHANGELOG IN TWO DAYS!
The wait is almost over, ladies and gentlemen!
0.9 IS HERE!
REJOICE

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Once again, thank you all for your unwavering support month after month throughout this long development cycle, and thus making it possible ❤
Thank you for your patience and for always being there ❤
Thank you for everything ❤
Thank you ❤
Stay awesome, and see you very soon!!!!
Love you all,
Caribdis

Can´t wait to get my hands on this.

Like how Cari gives us cliffhangers and baits all the time . Like,this at least 5 girls...
Idk, theoretically,as was mentioned before, besides Alex + Dalia threesome,the most possible option is Lorelei + Calypso,and here, "at least" would make sense because Calypso would only watch.
As of other options,we surely remove Nova and Nancy,because they already had 3some
Luna hasn't lost her virginity yet
Carter girls can't take a part with each other
So,as of girls who can take a part in 3 somes:
Annie,Dalia,Penny,Alex left
Annie appears in sneak peek ~twice,but she would be a great pair for Dalia or Penny
Anyways,just a bit left to wait

Thinking in another way,there might be a character who's able to create clones/dopplers,and it would be an optional choice

I thought so too but this year I've found several supplements and solutions that I'm >75% sure they could work for anyone with excessive anxiety under non-extreme circumstances.

The most powerful solution has no sure way of going back if you feel like being too relaxed, which is not a problem for me but it might be for someone working on the very same project for years/decades.

Your post makes no sense.

You can’t afford DL tier, ok. Get the game on day 1 here for free… and get whatever Patreon tier you can afford to still support Caribdis.

This is exactly what you said in your first paragraph, then did mental gymnastics to walk away from this perfectly reasonable position to a nonsensical position.

 

[VexisPrime]

It's a pirate's life for me! But it's always nice to support the devs who deserve em. Unlike some others...

 

[thisguyhere]

Hey guys so question so that I can be ready for the update: I download the version and then I delete the old one, replacing with the new and my saves will work?

 

[Heyy_boo21]

Hey guys so question so that I can be ready for the update: I download the version and then I delete the old one, replacing with the new and my saves will work?

Yes. Just make sure you have downloaded AND unpacked the new version in the same location before deleting the old one. I usually fire up the new one and check my save first to be safe.

 

[fmagnet]

Your save will function correctly as long as you didn't use a multimod. If you did, it won't be compatible until the multimod itself is updated.

U forgot that Lorelei is not a LI or Main girl so the scene with Calypso still counts as solo even if Lorelei is involved.
So
#1 Lorelei + Calypso
#2 Alex and Dalia
#3 Penny solo(Hopefully Anal coz she loves it rough)
#4 Luna V card

 

[Henchmen13]

Penny solo(Hopefully Anal coz she loves it rough)

I honestly don't think it will be anal. In my mind, given the "risk of being caught" in the last two scenes, she will get off on that alone. Specifically, the presence of her mother / her sister / Alex in the next room. I can see the scene in question even being "soft failure" in that "depending on your options you are actually caught before some of the other girls are on board regarding the whole harem thing". Alternatively, i can imagine it's all teasing and bait from the developer, and we won't have Penny scene this update.

The only other thing that comes to mind, is the artifact that allows you two bodies being used, possibly IRL, so the MC can have sex with more than one person when it comes to the Christmas house, or maybe to double team Penny because she will be into that. ... I can see the "artifact being used for sex" being "bait leading to bad ending" even if it "unlock lewd scene".

Part of me expect the timeline for the update to be: 1/2 of the whole update being spend in the Elf Realm, return to Earth and touch base with everyone, go on outings with Luna (both for Gem stuff as well as going on date), end the update with Christmas outing where Alex will join the Carters. Due to that, i don't think there will be "solo penny scene" this update, thou i can imagine next one may have threesome Penny and Nova.

Edit: Also for all the people that reference https://attachments.f95zone.to/2025/09/5243343_0-40.jpg for "penny scene" i would like to point out that the image show Orion's wrist/hand and not his dick.

... or maybe to double team Penny because she will be into that....

God. She's a slut.

You're not wrong though, that would be fantastic.

While I agree that anal might not be in the cards for Penny, I don't think Cari's gonna bench her for 2 updates in a row when her sister is likely gonna get a scene with Alex this update. Plus there'll be rioting on Cari's Discord if he ever decides to do that (considering that the hardcore Penny fans there are pretty much hype for this update due to her major presence in the sneaks).

I see how "Luna", "Penny" and "Calypso" lack their "i love you" moments with Orion, which in my mind are "must" before the harem. Once they are over, all lewd scenes will probably be threesomes. Like how in the last game, past certain point, nearly all lewd scenes involved more than one girl.

I think that 0.9 will be the final update before the "end game" story arc begin. We were told that 0.10 will be shorter, as well as end on big cliffhanger. There aren't a lot of updates remaining. I can see Cari using this update as "final moment of respite before shit hit the fan" in which cause "using it to close the remaining girl's individual arcs" make sense.

At the same time, with everything else happening in the upcoming update i feel like adding in Penny scene will be a bit much. In the sense that "proper i love you scene need set up" which is kind of there. The main problem in my mind, is that if it's in this update it will be "in between other things happening". ... There is also how we still have to see how her whole "model" shtick will help the gang, which was foreshadowed a few times in the story.

If there is "Penny" scene here, then in mind there won't be "Alex + Dalia threesome" but instead we will get "Nova + Annie threesome". ... Again, unless Orion use the duplication artifact and decide to do "Penny in one room" and "Alex + Dalia in the other room" while "Nancy is happy that the harem she is setting up seem be working so far".
