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

[PhlebasThePhoenician]

The last game of the creator had a very rushed ending . I hope thats not the case this time . And what did you mean by bad single choices?

I think that Caribdis realized that he could deliver a much better product thanks to the experience made (and version 2 of Honey Select), so he decided to cut short the ending of OIALT to show us the level he could achieve in a new story.
I don't complain (too much).

The last game of the creator had a very rushed ending .

To be fair, dev had mentioned that he made OIAL with no outline other than a general idea or concept and just winged a lot of stuff as he went along, so the ending feeling rushed was par for the course.

Then again, he already thinks that not every person is going to be satisfied with Eternum's ending, regardless of how much planning he throws at it.

I mean all it needs is that some time to the ending . Like some scenes or like a epilogue . That would satisfy everyone .

"Rushed ending" is a bit of an exaggeration, I would call it more of a first-time ending, despite it being his first VN, he finished it in style!
of course I do not argue that the endings of OIAL were not completely satisfactory, but everything has something to teach for the future,

Now all we have to do is give Caribdis some time and wish him luck in developing and finishing it at a calm pace without interference for Eternum.

He's not wrong. No matter what the ending is, it'll displease some. And even if this gets a fantastic ending, there'll inevitably be those out there who want more and are angry Eternum is over.

there is "rushed ending" when something suddenly ends without it making sense.
and then there are certain... type of people... i really struggle how to describe them nicely... who will complain about anything and say ending was rush for any reason. What i mean is, its one thing to suddenly have illogical ending of story that ruins most if not all plotpoints and break characters out of nowhere to make story sprint to the end, and its another thing to come to conclusion of story and feeling certain way that something that you think is important that clearly was not as important to author did not get answered or was not resolved, or some subplot got pushed aside for the sake of main story... but none of this means the ending is rushed, it just means you have criticism based on your preferences.

Its just sad and stupid that people use their own preference to make bullshit claims like "ending was rushed" "author gave up" "they just wanted to start something new" etc.

Everyone about the iberian blackout: "omg poor people, no lights, no cellphones, hope they survive!! "

Me, Caribdis, Finuee ,sexypeanut, Lerd0 and the rest of iberians:

Soooo true!

Never seen the stars so well from home.

And I felt so relaxed being unproductive while knowing I couldn't be productive at all.

To be fair, Cari wanting to jump to Eternum badly was something that was known in Discord for a while. But it's more due to the fact that he felt suffocated with his potato laptop and that switching to HS2 on a high-spec rig was a liberating experience by comparison.

yes but they still finished the game properly and not only that, there is multiple endings (although yes harem ending with stabby being pilot is the best ending) and story resolved itself properly. what part of it was rushed? what remained unresolved? what subplot feels like it got dropped? its been years since i read OiaLt so maybe im forgetting things but the ending felts well done

 

[Padorublad3]

+- 2-3 hours of reading

I agree that the game has a proper end that feels substantial and gives closure. That nonwithstanding, the "epilogue" did feel a bit rushed in the sense that it was just a bunch of stills from which you had to build the story of what happened afterwards. A proper scene to bring a more relaxed close to the story would've been nice. But I'm not bashing on the ending, OiaLT had a proper end, and even if rushed it was good.

Not gonna lie , I expected more . Pale incarnation and being a dik is a lot more hours . Anyways , The game gave me a choice to choose who is the best friend . Annie or Chang . What should i do?

thanks a lot

 

[DETROIT123_io]

I love the references and comedy in this game so far. Also I checked the gallery and it seems their is not much sex scenes available . HAs the dev said anything about including more scenes in future.

Personally I thought the canon ending was okay but I agree that there were aspects about it that felt "rushed."

-Harem development felt rushed considering that the girls seemingly accepted their part in it rather quickly (also the fact that them finding out about it likely happened offscreen during the plane ride). Compare that to Eternum where the harem development is a lot better since Orion himself openly acknowledges that he is in love with them if following the harem route and the girls are being developed into a sisterhood of sorts with Nan acting as the self-appointed den mother of the group

-The fight against the BBEG happened all too quickly. No epic struggle or anything like that, just the MC and Mike going to final lair, Mike sacrificing himself, MC uses his powers as clutch, BOOM. Done.

Other than those, yeah...ending was cool.
