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

[Starlight332]

Care to explain what was wrong with ai art?

I bet money on he's an artist of no particularly great skill and AI will put him out of business. That's what 99.9% of bitching about AI boils down to. Same thing happens every time there's a large technological advancement. Miners and workers bitched during industrial revolution, scribes bitched after the invention of printing press etc etc. That's all.

Care to explain what was wrong with ai art? where it was used? character designs, backgrounds or what? I am busy in life. Haven't got the time to play latest update yet but I have it downloaded. And in my opinion if human and ai art combined or edited can be good if produced well. I also hate ai art if its badly created. Judging from Caribdis previous exceptional work, Even if he used ai, he may have used it very well.

I mean the images are very clearly AI created. And even after listening to the music, it also comes across as very obviously machine generated.

Wait, the only AI I've ever heard of being used in this game was for the music, which only happened because the rights holders for the royalty free songs being used in earlier versions forced Cari to remove them.

He doesn't need to, is the thing. Doc had the same issue with one of the license holders for his game and he didn't utilize an AI to create new tracks. He just got new licenses for other songs created by human hands.

AI songs,unlike the real ones,guarantee that case with tracks won't happen again,even if they sound a bit worse,they are still not awful.

I could understand this more from an AVN developer that was less known, and didn't have the patreon/subscribestar or whatever financial backing to afford the odd commission for in game art, but Carbdis is definitely not one of those developers, and could easily afford to pay for a couple of commissions for the art used in game, or even the licensing fees for certain images. I dunno, might get flack for it, but it just felt like a letdown from a Developer who usually focuses so much time and effort into making something actually quality in the space. Otherwise this update was amazing, like the rest of them. Just had to say something about the AI art, as I noticed it right away and it took a bit out of the update for me. Fuck AI "art."

Not every artist wants to make art for a "porn" game,because they want to add something to their portfolios. And personally, I don't feel like he actually needs commissioned works just for a few renders you will forget about in a day,besides,they looked fine.

I agree ai looks awful sometimes,but it's not a case here

Did Doc also had a week or two to comply with the CnD and replace 50+ songs with ones that are thematically appropriate to the scenes tied to them?

Also just to reiterate: it was members of Cari's Discord community that volunteered to find and replace those tracks with the AI ones being used now. And just to note, the community there isn't exactly shy when it comes to AI usage, be it in fan art, fan AMVs, shitposts, etc. Hell, they even ended up getting a dedicated channel for it.



And considering how close Cari is to his Discord community, well...it's a no-brainer why he let them help him in that particular issue (and why he was probably keen in having them help him again for this particular update).

Indeed, it works ! HAHA

 

[avdghi]

question for the older fans/fans that are following this game from the start... as a newer player I wonder what was the most discussed/hyped/controversial moment in the community when it just happened? is it the reveal of Calypso, Orion being shot or something else?

 

[Tomoushie]

I've noticed that there are many AVN game on F95 that offer Italian translations. The Italian translators on this forum are really dedicated; it's a shame there aren't as many French translations. I'd like to try it myself, but I don't know how to translate a Ren'Py game.

I just played the Penny scene. I´m going to reserve my reviews for when I finish the entire update, but for now, nice!

Pretty sure there are a lot of guides on youtube Never tried it,but think you'll need renpy sdk,then you unpack Eternum with unren,open it with renpy sdk,and then, there is an option "generate translations" that creates translation files you need to manually translate,and then you can share it(Not sure about switching the language inside of the game without touching preferences screen)

Finally, Eternum time...

starting the 2026 AVN journey with Eternum

 

[Beloria2766]

In honey category i think eternum is GOAT and there are other 2 mini goats along with it.

 

[QQP_Purple]

microsoft would argue with that btw lol

Well I will admit that I can't yet get it to fetch me coffee. So it's definitively not a direct equivalent. But its really useful for dull and dirty tasks or just busywork. Like the other day I had it collect all the enums in our codebase and generate a translation file for them using google translate. Stuff like that.

Yeah, but why do that when you can pay $200 for a commission and then wait 3 months for an initial sketch any time you want art made for your game?

Because that is the price you pay now so that tomorrow that artist can grow up to become an actual master of their craft that can deliver content far beyond that sketch. It's an investment.

0.9.0 complete save please.

 

[ChrisHaze]

This is literally the greatest sex game ever. I got a new PC recently and didn't bother swapping over any saves. I'm starting all games over. This is the only one I'm not skipping through, or rather I tried, but just can't the girls, the comedy, the music, the story is just peak. I probably won't make it to the new content for a few months. Which is great, because that wait is going to be brutal once again. But fuck for this perfection, it's totally worth it.
