VN Ren'Py Eternum [v0.9.4] [Caribdis]

[sexypeanut]

I just finished playing the update and I must say...HOT DAMN...what a ride, everything was top-notch, Cari and the team really know how to do top of the line shit.

Just one small thing that bothered me was the lack of "slice of life" so to speak. Major developments are brushed off as offscreen events (i.e. Orion telling the girls about his newfound power, the aftermath of Nancy-Nova threeway fun, no Penny development from last update, etc.) I feel a couple of renders exploring these plot lines and how each character react to them goes a long way in providing more meat to the story and the characters' progression, I feel this was better handed in previous episodes but in this one we jumped from one big event to the other without caching a breather, which I sorely missed, to be honest...

Would like to hear what do you think about that

I agree. I feel this update was focused mostly in showing newer technical skills Cari and Dread acquired since 0.7 release and to start the "I love yous"/threesomes.

One thing I am thinking about lately is the "climax" (storywise, not what you think ) at the end. A final fight where one side takes all of the gems of doom between Orion (+ the girls?) and Thanatos seems obvious. But I don't think Thanatos will be the "end boss." First of all, a 8v1 seems pretty lame as the grand final. Second of all, how long can you stretch such a fight? 5 minutes? Maybe 10? I don't think Caribdis build the game of years and years to end it with a fight like this.

In my opinion, in the end we'll get a fight like in Harry Potter 7.2. Two big armies, WRE + all the allies we made through the story (the werewolves / vampires, probably the elves, characters like eve and maat etc.) against some other army.Maybe Thanatos will be part of this army, maybe he'll be already defeated before and we fight against the founder or the aliens (forgot their name) but this seems like the most likely climax. I'd bet that the fight will be in a few different servers aswell, making full use of eternums world building.

The Movie They Live stretched one out to almost 6 IIRC.
But only because they were all out of gum.

The whole Dalia weightlifting segment was a bit cringe & woke (especially her winning against a dude 6 pounds heavier than her in a single strike lol) and so is the occasional simp dialogue like "you're the greatest I would do anything for you omg you're a goddess" but the rest of it is pretty great. Especially the heist, that was pure comedy. I also liked the general plot of this one. Made getting immersed really easy.

Woke? That word is so fucking over used its lost all its meaning

Any one got the characters card for honey select?

Eh, if Thanny is endboss I don't think it's gonna be 8v1. At best it'll be like this particular fight...



...with the girls fighting across the map with the unified Roman Empire and the allies they've made against an army of Praetorians probably guarding the last area (Acheron).

I'm not against using the woke word, but I can't see what's wrong with Dalia weightlifting and winning a fight against a guy who's just a few pounds heavier than her. She's in peak physical condition, both due to her weightlifting and her adventures at Eternum, being easily the strongest love interest; her mom knows kickboxing so she probably taught her a few techniques. I'm much heavier than Ronda Rousey and I'm sure she would totally kick my ass without problems at all.

As other people said, the 'Woke' has lost its meaning, just like the 'Incel' and 'Simp' words.

 

[Dorfnutter]

Doesn't matter how heavy or strong you are, a perfect strike at the neck is going to end anyone. Brock is actually quite lucky that he only got knocked out for a while with that hit and not, say, end up drooling in a wheelchair or jump cutting to his funeral afterwards.

I remember, in the late 80's, when "simp" just meant "simpleton".
2000AD used it pretty frequently in

this forum really needs a clown emoji as a reaction

 

[Phase_01]

No fucking way I come into this thread after a while and see someone complain about "woke" shit in a porn game like Eternum
Istg ppl that complain that "everything is woke and its cringe" are just as, if not more annoying, than the actual "woke agenda" and I say this as someone who hates it when representation takes priority over good storytelling.

The game has a multiverse, MC with demonic powers who gains muscle as much as he blinks, a penis the size of an eggplant, and a girl winning against a man who's slightly heavier than her is the unbelievable part

Next someone gonna complain that Maat's character/scene is cringe cuz she's "DEI"

I agree, especially about the reveals to the girls. That's twice I see Caribdis brush off a potential reaction montage or scene with the LI (when Orion understands that the NPCs are dead a few updates ago, and when he discovers his newfound power in the last update).

I feel like for the 1st, some sort of flashback could have been added OR maybe Orion talk a little bit with the Carters and Annie (like he does), except instead of going to sleep, all the other LI come over one after another so he can tell them at the same time or something (just to make it less complicated, since the environment wouldn't have to change or anything). Could have been a fun scene too. Just an idea though, it could have been different idk.

For the newfound power, a quick montage like Caribdis already did, but with Orion telling each girls/couple of girls with some reactions (Nancy slapping his head, Annie freaking out, Alex and Dalia looking at him suspiciously, Luna worried, Penny smothering him with her chest ( ) etc). Like not a long thing, but just to acknowledge it and take the opportunity to make a fun scene at the same time.

Anyway, I don't know. There was ways to do that, but Caribdis brushed them off. I mean I understand the work this great game needs so it doesn't bother me much, but yeah some major development are indeed being brushed off offscreens.

Extremists ruin everything, regardless of which end of the spectrum they've buried themselves in.

A boxing match is scheduled to last for 36 minutes (12 x 3), actual fighting time.
MMA is scheduled for 15-25.

Yes, there are breaks in between rounds, but there are breaks in battles, too.
Beat one oppo, then find and attack another. There can be a good 30+ seconds gap between one oppo & the next.
However, most street fights won't last 1 minute.
They feel like they go on for ages, when you're in them, but they're usually over pretty quickly.

The dude you're responding to clearly hasn't watched Dragon Ball.

Say, question for folks: I'm looking to free up a bit of space on my computer, work on my digital clutter... if I delete Eternum (heresy, I know, but still) until 0.9 comes out, will I still have my save files when I install the new version, or will I be wiped to 0?

They'll be in your appdata, but you can always back up you saves folder and put it back in when you reinstall.

Liking Mercer more than Mandrake is so terrible I can't take this list seriously.
Heck, even the 'worst-hairdo-of-all-time' Hassan minion is higher than Mandrake. Blergh.

Penny smothering him with his chest ( ) etc).

With... his chest?

 

[PervyParadox]

With... his chest?

Thanks, I had to edit that before I began imagining boy-Penny
