VN Ren'Py Eternum [v0.9.5 Public] [Caribdis]

[bitofaperv]

Not my fault, that Cari is so utterly uncreative. I still think my theory that Billy-Boy wanted to make an NPC out of Alex was great.

If I have one complaint about Caribdis, it's that his cliffhangers are usually wet farts. Well, also that his dialogue doesn't always hold up when you speak it out loud. It feels like written word rather than spoken. But that's a tangent.

I really hope we get a meaty sequence going into Orion's death and resurrection, and there's actually conflict involved, rather than him just waking up in the morgue immediately upon loading 0.8.

The set up is always good, but the payoff tends to be underwhelming. If he could get this under control *chef's kiss* we'd be absolutely golden.

Well the dude is a Spaniard so I can forgive him for that, I think.

It's possible that we get a glimpse of someone responding to the incident before jumping straight into the New World sequence and then coming back to the aftermath of his death and eventual revival. It's also possible that the flashback with Chang ties to it, as it might be Orion's memories that we are seeing there...unless Chang is going on a trip down memory lane for some reason (maybe after having a near death experience from getting pounded by Micky or something ).

 

[Takkatakka]

Yeah, and it would've caused every Alex fanboy to go on a collective seizure because it'll bench her for a good long while. Sooo creative.

Obviously he wouldn't have been successful...

Luna wasn't his girlfriend at the time. The most they'd done was Orion letting her touch him without her gloves.

That was part of the point I was making. If you're interested in someone, and have been hanging out, but haven't really defined the relationship fully and then they invite you to visit their family that is them making it clear they want to take another step in the relationship. So turning it down without good reason would at least be a set back, if not out right rejection, of moving to the next stage of the relationship.

So question when the xenomorph invasion spread and Dahlia (or I think that was her) being scanned by a robot- was that supposed to be a spin of ED-209? Or just some random robot scanner bot?

Both, probably.

Not related, but since i'm old ad fuck and i was a kid in the 80's i watched Robocop when it was a new movie and i tought ED-209 was damn cool. Then some time ago i happened to see, probably on youtube, the scene where ED-209 can walk the stair and goes turtle and i realized: "fuck, it was animated with stop motion!". You know those moment when you realize how moron and guillable you were as a kid

There's not much physical resemblance. Probably just a stereotypical rogue AI...

I don't remember the scene. I actually don't remember anything of this game it's been too long. And i watched Robocop with its italian dub, but i think the frase that droid is saying in the pictures is a quote from the ED209 presentation scene from the movie.

It's an old song that HAL9000 sings when Dave is shutting him down in 2001: A Space Odyssey.
(Yet another stereotypical rogue AI.)

2001: A Space Odyssey is a 1968 movie.

Hold on a minute. What if... and this will sound crazy but, what if the next update/few updates MC is stuck in Eternum and IRL we take control of none other but CHANG himself?!

With the joke aside I would geuinely love to see just how unhinged the girls and Chang would get because of what happened. I can just imagine the hellfire they would unleash upon the world if MC won't be able to come back.

I pretty confident that's supposed to be a HAL 9000 reference.
From the attitude, pattern of speech and that iconic imposing Eye

to the song that represents an homage to the first song sang by a computer (HAL sings it when he's being deactivated)

Now put HAL in a murder bot and you have yourself some nightmare fuel.

I already don't like scenes in which the MC isn't present...it feels weird...because the rest is very much from his perspective and if it would be up to me, Cari should try to prevent such scenes...even though some of them are really great, like the scene with Alex, Dalia and then Penny in the park...

Eh, those scenes help establish the girls' camaraderie a bit more IMO (with some of the scenes showing that the girls have a life outside of being Orion's pogo stick user). You can't really build a harem if every girl in it doesn't get along with one another, and having more short moments where we see the girls interacting with one another helps solve one of the issues of OIAL's harem end (that being not every girl managed to interact with one another and were limited in a way to their own "circles").

I mean, you can also show that while Orion is around and through other means (and Cari also does that), but of course such scenes help. Then again they kinda infringe on the immersion somewhat, it is simply a compromise.

The immersion argument was already thrown out the window the moment Orion was established as his own character with his own backstory and potential skeletons in his closet, and not someone with a bland-ass backstory so that they could work better as the player's own character. He's basically Geralt from the first Witcher game: he has his own past and background but the holes in his character allow us as players to mold him as how we view Geralt, but at the end of the day he is still Geralt.
