she will someday if you did turn on "pregnancy content" at the start of your game

next update (0.7) will come out somewhere around mid february to early march, 0.8 likely somewhere around august or september. he's planning between 12-16 updates, so thats at least 3-4 more years of development time.

I'm wondering if you understand the concept of a spoiler box ...

At least that user knows now to not put a crucial (and steamy) event that happened right in the spoiler tag title, at best he could just leave that empty for next time if needed.

Yea, I actually suspect that it was a probably just a copy/paste accident. Still, had to be said.

 

[Dorfnutter]

Right. Pirates of the Caribbean references it is, then.



...Now if Orion could've just grown his hair a bit more so he could cosplay as Off-brand Jack Sparrow or Discount Will Turner...

 

[Ungawa]

People don't remember Will Turner...

Maybe Jerry can cosplay him!

Jerry would probably be one of those random pirates who join the crew and then die at some point.

His ego wouldn't take it. He'll likely try to vie for a Captain's or First Mate position (if Nan ends up being Captain)...only to die miserably via a stray cannon to the gonads or to a mermaid he mistook as Dalia.

Either way, he's going back to level 1 if he does show up again in this coming update.

eaten by a kraken . Who would have thought, that after his first death he will end up such a good returning joke.and to think that at one point he was supposed to be a good player, I mean how he achieved 36 level ? that remain a mystery

anyway, I wanna see Pirate Nova

 

[ermal]

new sneak peek this week, right?

I guess luck? But his luck run out when he met fake Dalia...

damn this 1 year or half -year updates are killing me..it's pretty absurd with the amount of subscriber some dev had that this VN takes2-5 yearsa to be completed...ofc if they are completed...this is not good

 

[SteveyP]

new sneak peek this week, right?

Very likely, yes

 

[Takkatakka]

Simply seems like that is the normal development time for a quality VN that is made by one main developer. I don't know of any VN with high quality visuals, sound and good writing who gets sizable updates out every month or so. It is just not possible.

Overall Cari is pretty reliable. He already finished one game, the progress of Eternum is easily trackable and seems to be mostly on point as well and the updates are very sizable.

I don't think Eternum is the right game to complain about the developer as far as development time and progress are considered.

There is nothing which hints that this game will not be completed. The Dev has finished a game already as well.

Also, the Updates take long, but there is a lot of content in each Update. You will spend several hours each time the game is updated. And IMO, it is better like this, because the game is very story-focussed, so shorter and more frequent Updates would probably only feature 1 scene for 1 LI. And with 7 Main-LIs it will take a lot of time to create a proper amount of scenes for each of them.

There's one that I can think of that comes close, but the trade-off is that it doesn't have animations for its pr0n scenes, so there's that.

Not to mention the dev's already planning for another one right after he finishes this one.

Ah, careful with this. While I am 100% sure that Caribdis will finish Eternum and starts a new game, there have been Devs who became burnt out and started a new project sooner than expected, mainly to distract themselves from the Burn-Out and the main game. And sometimes it resulted in both being abandoned.

Again, I dont think that it will happen to Eternum (even tho it cannot be ruled out completely, a life can change drastically from one day to the other), but I think a track record of an already completed game is better than plans for a new game.

(In general, I think that the good thing is that Caribdis does not really cater to any wishes. He probably gets some inspiration from ideas, but from my experience, the more a Dev decided to cater to someones wishes, the less likely they will be to complete the game. Which is why I always prefer to just let the Dev do whatever they want, because nobody would have fun working on a project they dont want to work on anymore...)




EDIT: Also nice that you mention Out of Touch. A game which is on my watchlist for ages, but I never get the time to play it, because RL sucks and one game with such a long story is enough for now.

I've talked about it at length here a while back, but just to reiterate: the man himself is driven enough that he's willing to course-correct his work sched when he realized that there was a danger of burnout. I guess it goes to show that he is pretty dedicated to the craft that he's willing to make sound compromises in order to keep on working, which is why I have faith that he's willing and has what it takes to finish this before moving on to the next.

(There's also the fact that he mentioned a while back that he already has all the story beats outlined so it's not as if he's making shit up as he goes like back when he was making OIAL where he only had a general idea but not much else to go on. Not to mention that it's easier to work on something if you have an idea where you're headed)
