I could be remembering wrong, but I'm pretty sure they didn't pull the gun until after he turned his back.

Still, he has zero reason to suspect his godlike bullet dodging abilities will work outside (quote unquote) Eternum...

Actually he does have reason to suspect it will, as it did once or twice already. I don't have the screens at end right now but from what I remember:

1. The way he dodges a ball thrown by Axel.
2. The way he punches the guy who was beat by Dalia (right before the beach scene with Dalia).
Plus the way his "real" body changes is a strong sign that he does have abilities "outside" Eternum.

The fact is, he was being an unconsiderate cocky asshole who didn't think of the junkies as potential threat because he was so full of himself. He unnecessarely belittled them so hard even I wanted to slap him in that scene. And I think that's the point. To show that no matter how powerful you are, being an overconfident asshole is always dangerous.

Since we mentioned Nikolay, someone has probably already translated those, but here is my version:
"Границы России нигде не заканчиваются" - Russia's borders "do not end anywhere" - a reference to Putin's old speech,source with english subtitles

Wait, when does he says that? First thing he said to me was about champagne

 

[Hasbromate]

I didn't realize how much good voice acting would improve a VN, then again I am still pretty noobie to the genre. I haven't kept up with FreshWomen updates, but recently played it and the VA made the below average story actually passable. I can imagine how good it'd be for something like this... Anyone knows if Caribdis thought about implementing it in the future maybe?

Can't find the screenshot rn,but afair,it was during Nancy's yoga session.And the line about champagne was much later during Dalia's competition

Doubt it. Voice acting is really hard to do well, and tends to be very expensive. Most AVNs are done by small teams relying mostly on donations, selling subscriptions, or selling copies. For something like Eternum it would be very difficult.

Basically said the equivalent of "If I can't hire Hollywood-tier voice acting for the main cast*, then no."



*Tho he's fine with hiring voice actors for minor roles like Isaac back in 0.4 and The Narrator back in 0.7

Well...give AI voices a few more years...

Yep, it was a memorable lesson to Orion that overconfidence can get him and those close to him killed. That even the seemingly weakest opponents can be deadly if he's too cocky. He's gotten stronger and faster, but he's not Superman, bullets won't just bounce off him.

I would turn it off imediately. Esp if it included sexy time.

 

[LusterDemon]

Seeing as how the update will include events past the current area, what's stopping the dev from releasing that area alone and the end of the update is when he leaves, instead of taking a year to release each update? Last I saw progress was at 68% after 7 months?

What's stopping him is a Patreon poll a few years back where the majority of his subs voted for meatier/lengthier updates over smaller but more sporadic updates. Doing what you're suggesting is basically reneging from that, so...yeah, no.

Edit: Posting it here in case anyone's curious about how the poll went...

Also, that's assuming there will be no concurrent things happening with the rest of the cast.

It was a little weird how fast they moved on from that but I suppose it wouldn't have matched the overall tone of the story for him to spend half a release getting over an existential crisis. Ego deflated, lesson hopefully learned, moving right along.

Have you played FreshWomen's update where they added voice acting? Not sure when they added it, didn't scroll through the change-log. It's surprisingly good, to the point where it's on par with above average modern cartoons. Considering the amount of money they're making, and how few VA they need to employ I guess they didn't need to skimp on talent.

It's still not worth it.

For every person like you, there's someone like me. I intensely dislike a lot of VA. The only company that ever got it right was the one that did Xenoblade and FFXIV for Monolith and Square Enix.

When I was playing the Trails series, when I moved on from Sky, and onto Trails From Zero, I pulled that disgusted lip curl/snarl in the opening scene when I heard them speaking, and immediately switched to Japanese language so I could read the dialogue in peace.

Everyone is happy with the game as it is (although perhaps this dev cycle is making a few disgruntled with the time being taken) - there's no incentive to make a change when the audience has already accepted the game as it is.

There's also the fact that the game is just too far into it's story that any sort of VA added at this point would be a monumental task, as the VAs will have to voice 8 patches (9 if you count the upcoming one) worth of dialogue (and that's a pretty big ask). Not to mention a lot of people already have imagined voices that they use for the characters, so adding a VA that sounds different to how they imagined it will just be a big turn-off.

 

[sexypeanut]

He'll maybe add it to his 3rd game, but there's no way he'll do it for Eternum

 

[UncleFappy]

Ahhhhhhhhh. All caught up now.

Holy shit. Annie is a walking nuke. 50000-100000 megaton explosion (exaggerated for sure, but still). It was nice to see her really let loose like that. I suppose she has to be like a top 10 caster, with firepower like that.

Nancy being the harem instigator kinda cracks me up. I love it, though. She's really going with the flow and letting her hair hang after that day of Yoga with Orion.

I'm super curious where this Mercer/Xenomorph subplot is gonna head to. It feels more significant to me than just set-up for this "event". I kinda wonder if she's actually gonna start some shit on Earth-side, and people are gonna start manifesting more overt magic to combat it.

And man, we finally get to Hyril'ar! Those elves gonna be piiiiiiiiiiiiiiissed, when they walk in on Orion and Calypso banging. (they're totally gonna go at it)
