[0.9] - Progress Report #2 Hello everyone!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
Since I didn’t post much last month, I thought it’d be a good time for a brief Progress Report to basically let you all know that everything is still moving forward and on track!

About Recent Events
As many of you may have heard, and coinciding with this new wave of censorship that seems to be hitting many places at once, the payment processors (pressured by a small activist group) forced Steam and Itch.io to audit all the adult content in their libraries, leading to Itch.io having to shadow-ban all adult games from its catalog.
Although the game is free for everyone, Itch.io is my main platform for reaching new players and potential patrons, so losing that visibility put the project at serious risk. Even more concerning, this incident set a dangerous precedent where credit card companies could dictate what types of content are allowed on the internet, even if those games are completely legal and clearly labeled as adult games, like Eternum.
Luckily, yesterday adult games were re-listed on Itch.io (as long as they opted out of accepting money through that platform, either through donations or selling the game). While it's not exactly how things used to be, it's a step back towards normal. If nothing changes, you can expect me to continue posting the game there for free as usual. New updates will also continue being released here on Patreon as always have been, so no worries there either.
I’ll be honest, situations like this really spike my anxiety, like it happened with the music issue a few months ago (I swear, this development cycle seems cursed) and it unfortunately affects my productivity.
This is not an excuse, but I still get very frustrated when it happens.
I must say though, knowing I have such a loyal and supportive community makes all the difference. You guys keep me grounded, and I can’t thank you enough❤
Thank you guys, now more than ever ❤
I promise to keep working hard on Eternum, to see it through to the end, and, as long as I’m fortunate enough to continue making a living from this work, to bring you new stories and games beyond it. Your support is what makes all of this possible, and I’ll be forever grateful ❤

0.9 development
Now, on to the good stuff!
While the development of v0.9 has been rougher and slower than I’d hoped, we’ve already made good progress and completed a big chunk of content.
Like I mentioned before, this will be the biggest update yet. It’ll feature 4 new lewd scenes, a wide variety of different settings and characters, and many hours of new content. So far, there are already over 1,150 renders and more than 10,700 lines of code, and we’re still not done! (For comparison, versions 0.1 and 0.2 each had less than 10K lines.)
Many of the love interests will reach major turning points in their relationships with the MC, and the main plot will continue to move, slowly but surely, towards the grand finale of this epic journey.
You'll also see more and more harem interactions (for those in that path) between the girls.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I’m very excited to show you everything I’ve been working on, and I’ll keep pushing hard to get the update out as soon as possible.
This month, I’ll be posting new wallpapers (both SFW and NSFW), and at the end of the month… everyone’s favorite, new sneak peeks!
Winter is coming to Kredon?? Stay tuned and make sure not to miss it!
Once again, thank you again for your patience, for your unwavering support, and for being the best community I could ever ask for ❤
Remember my DMs and the comment section is always open for all of you in case you ever have any doubt.
Love you all,
Caribdis
