VN Ren'Py Eternum [v0.9.2] [Caribdis]

[Ozymandias037]

It is not really standard but everyone uses it because it is what makes the most sense.

Version numbers aren’t decimal values, so 0.9 doesn’t “become” 1.0 in the sense of 0.9 → 0.10 being “weird math.” Each part of the version is just a separate counter.

A common structure looks like this:

A . B . C . D

• A = Major release number
  (big milestones, full releases, DLC lines, etc.)
• B = Major update
  (significant systems, new features, large content drops)
• C = Minor update
  (smaller additions, improvements, secondary content)
• D = Patch / hotfix
  (bug fixes, balance tweaks, small adjustments)
  — sometimes written as a, b, c… instead of numbers.

So 0.9 → 0.10 isn’t “0.9 jumping to one-tenth”—it’s just major update 10 following major update 9. They’re separate counters, not decimals.

Because of that, hitting 0.10 doesn’t mean the next step is 1.0 or that the game is almost finished. The devs can have as many major updates as they need before reaching the full “1.0” release milestone.

It is unbelievable to me how many times this has been explained in this thread and any number of other threads, and people still don't get it.

Hello,
Just finished Eternum last night (best 16 hours spent in gaming in long, long time) and was wondering, while unlikely, if anyone has rec for games having similarly strong Story + Character Development and Mix of sex stuff?

The game is nigh perfect in my eyes, the girls are well written and none of the jealous/insecure/infighting crap. MC and Chang are well done as male characters too, story is actually gripping.
Thr R18 scnes are best I have seen in limited Eroge/Adult Novels I have played, so fluid in animation and dozens of angles per scene.

If anyone has any suggestions thats close it, please let me know.

On the topic of Eternum 3 some from the last page, Game has already confirmed Annie x Luna scene with the vision and Alex x Dahlia scene (since Alex booked an appointment for her and Dahlia with MC for massage and they both are telling each other about their sex lives not knowing its MC in both case).
Nancy and Nova happened, so that leaves Pene and Calypso without any so far.

Now I would kill for a Penelope x Calypso 3 some, that is as good as Nancy x Pene, if not better.

On that note, really hope 0.9 comes soon, the cliffhanger on 0.86 was evil
Psst Penelope Best Girl

It's generally frowned upon to discuss other games in any given game's thread. There is a whole subforum for recommendations. But FWIW, I've had a lot of luck looking at the games people put in their signatures in threads for the games I like, including this one.

Fair, Apologies on that note. 0.9 waiting room it is.

No apologies necessary! I personally don't care at all and sometimes I think comparing/contrasting different games would make for good discussion, but mods can and sometimes do delete posts mentioning other games as off-topic. Shrug.

No knife-ears...

God, look at her. I hope we get a scene with her one day.

Outside of Luna getting her own scene in 0.9, I think the ones you listed are good possibilities. Caribdis' other game, Once in a Lifetime, is actually a good template for what to expect with regards to threesomes helping tie up the harem path. As a recent newcomer myself, I held up on finishing Dalia's portion of 0.8.6 just to save some content but I think it's time to dive back into things with the 0.9 release in sight.

It uses Honey Select 2 for renders and Blender for Animations.

Wow really, I never heard about honey select but for what I've seen it is kinda like a Pre AI generate image? sorta

HS2 is actually a sandbox adult game, filled with mods, which people use to make avns. Since it's already a released game, devs who use it to make avns can't sell them.

Nah, animations are done in HS2 (according to Dread who is this game's animator) but the modded assets like clothing, props, and sets are made using Blender (which tracks given that some of them are ports from the Daz3D store, and most of the assets sold there are also made using Blender so there's that).

Just wondering, do you know how many people are Caribdis and the Eternum team? I always assumed it was just Caribdis, but only recently found about Tateshiko and her lovely work.

 

[VaderExMachina]

Damn alright thank you very much buddy so the same goes for games like ripples or pale carnations if you ever played them them

those games use Honey Select 1. Same goes for Caribdis' first game: Once In a Lifetime.

Soon, we shall meat again...

IIRC there's 3 main people: Cari himself, who does the writing and main renders (plus the animations prior to Dread joining in full-time); Dread, who does all the animation work since 0.6 (tho he's done some animation work as far back as 0.4); and someone whose name I forgor who does the editing and proofreading work.

There's also the modders on HS2 Discord who get commissioned whenever Cari needs some assets plus freelancers who he commissions for art (i.e. Nova's comic and the illustrations in the Anima story), music (i.e. Annie's song back in 0.8 was a commissioned piece), and voice (i.e. Isaac back in 0.4 and the Narrator back in 0.8). Not exactly permanent mainstays, but they also contribute with making Eternum what it is.

Tateshiko and a few guys back in Discord do fanwork for Eternum and are not part of the team, but IIRC they were instrumental in helping Cari replace a lot of the game's music after one of the sites where he got them changed their ToS and sent him a CnD. Not exactly ideal for people who dislike AI gen stuff, but given the circumstances it's either that or a game with a huge chunk of its music missing (and Cari don't want that as he said that the mood provided by the music was part of his storytelling so he'd rather bite the AI bullet).

Really appreciate the insight. The level of polish in this game is incredible so unless he took on a herculean workload (not that he couldn't) it seemed like it was more than just a one man operation.

Yeah the AI gen stuff is murky waters but I personally enjoyed the new songs more. I hadn't heard any AI music before but songs like Need, Freeze this Moment, and Falling into You really blew me away as they capture the vibe of their scenes perfectly.
