It's been a while since I last played (I'm replaying rn) but isn't it because it prevents him from getting tracked down by Ulysses and possibly Thanatos since he doesn't have an attached ID?
He does have an attached ID. But he has developed powers that allow him to teleport to Eternum realms and vice-versa without the need to 'log in'. Which means his actions on Eternum while doing so might not have been registered by Ulysses

I think the point being is that Nova is supposed to be a virgin and yet she took Orion's salami like a damn pro. Ergo, Penny and Alex's sexual performance is not a good gauge in determining that they are non-virgins if a virgin can match them just as well.
We don't have to assume Nova is a virgin; she says so, clearly, on more than one occasion. Yes, Penny's beautiful and popular, and also nice and therefore relatively approachable--she's presumably had opportunities that Nova hasn't. She hasn't had much in the way of relationships--one boyfriend for a few weeks--but that doesn't rule out a hookup.

But the argument I'm seeing from Dingolingo (to the extent there's any argument at all) is "look at their scenes; of course they aren't virgins." And Nova's scene completely repudiates that argument. There are other reasonable bases for believing them to not be virgins, but not that one.

Or that, stated more succinctly than I did.
Okay, my bad then. I didn´t read all the messages from the conversation, so that´s on me.
In AVN´s that logic goes out the window. Virgin or not, they´re all experienced pornstars.

Again, if you actually pay attention to the dialogue and the story in the game, boom, you'll have your answers.
My conclusion after the last update was always this: non-virgin: Alex, Penny and Nancy. Virgin: the others. Still, doesn´t really matter. It´s just fun to discuss.

Next update? November?
As of last week, we stand at 68% (not nice)
We get about 6% progress every 2 weeks, so 12% a month
Divide 100 by 12 and you get around 8 months of development time
Version 0.8 came out for the public in January
Assuming that Caribdis has real life going on, we could stretch dev time to 9-10 months, so, yeah, about November sounds right

I love eternum but the development time is WAY too slow lately considering these are not huge 6+k render updates and there is barely any branching

A bad joke, but ok. ;)

Can't please people, if Cari released monthly updates, there would be those who would also whine. I'm just saying, quality takes time, as does long-term storytelling!:)

I would love to get faster updates, but IMO a longer dev cycle allows for a more significant story arc to happen than you could get with a shorter dev cycle. So I'll take a long dev cycle with a more interesting story over a short one with a simple story any day. I agree that this game is very linear but as long as I go into it knowing that I'm ok with it.

Maybe he'll do more branches and choices that make more difference in his next game. Even if he doesn't I think he's one of the better devs out there from a storytelling standpoint for adult games. I would find the story for this game interesting even if there weren't any sex scenes. Can't say that about most adult games I've played. A lot of them I just skip to the sex scenes and ignore the story. Not this one.

I´m not starting anything, I was just answering. But I won´t be surprised if this topic comes back eventually.

I understand the feeling, I whish updates took half the time they do.
That said, I don´t understand a lot of how these games are made but I´m going to say this and anyone should feel free to correct me: what makes the development time so long isn´t so much the renders, which are great but still not the best thing out there, it´s the animations. The animations in this game are incredible, but to make them like that it must take a terrible ammount of work and that is, in my opinion, why development is so long. It also "helps" that this specific update coming out is going to be the biggest so far, so that´s also why it´s taking longer than others.

Everyone wishes the updates were faster, but, at the risk of sounding like an echo chamber, quality takes time. I'm saying this as someone who checks in every so often on the status but doesn't follow the development with a magnifying glass though, so take it with a grain of salt.

We can compare this game to any other out there and say "this one updates even slower and has less content" or the opposite, but regardless of the resolution of the renders, branching paths, the amount of people working on it, the quality of the rendering PC, there's one thing I can say confidently. Cari has never missed. Sure, the quality increase between Eternum and OIAL is astronomical, but even back then, Cari delivered. Each update is both well thought out and content rich, even if personally, they're still oh so painfully short, but I'm greedy. I haven't played many games where I liked every LI and want more of.

Anyways, before I go on a massive tangent, we're all in the same boat. We want more. But I don't think it's fair to say that the updates should be faster simply because it's basically a static novel. Just my two cents though lol

Gonna ask a maybe dumb question, is 8.6 just bug correction etc or you can continue after the 8.0? I reload a save but had the same ending in 8.0.

Ah ye ok seen the changelong. Damn need to wait more months
