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

[BOZZU]

Thank you so much for this, brother. I appreciate you very much.

Just one request. Please increase save above 6 every page. I save every events/scene to look back on them again and again to appreciate the game more.

I hope you see this. Thank you.

I can increase the amount of save/load slots per page with the next update (if I remember).

I mean this is a Ren'py game with no page limit on saves, so you can go well over 1200+ saves if you really wanted to.

Honestly, if more content is made for the future after the game is complete, it would be neat if it were like, just singles content instead of full blown harem, cuz I'm sure nearly everyone picks the harem content so they don't miss out on the actual content.

Many people don't want to choose between multiple of their favorite characters, so they prefer to go the harem route instead of limiting themselves to just one specific girl they like.

yeah, that's another reason. I'm simply saying having those types of exclusive options in the future might be nice, for when people get incentivized to play the game again and have a specific favorite girl or two (I'm sure quite a few people have one already). A couple other games thought of this like Bare Witness and V.I.R.T.U.E.S. where not every girl would probably be in your harem, but it was still possible to have different combinations of love interests.

I also personally prefer the harem route because playing the same game over and over again every time you have multiple favorite girls in the game is sometimes too tiring. This way I get to try all the routes with all my favorite girls in one playthrough and don't have to play the same game over and over again.

The dev said, plus based on their last game, that "the cannon ending is the full harem". This game specifically focuses on the harem aspect more so than a lot others. In my mind, there are two types of visual novels. The borderline kinetic ones in which "there is best route which allows you to see everything" (Eternum and Once in a Lifetime are both like that), and ones which incentives you to replay it from start to finish multiple times (Being A Dik being the primary example). Each type of game has their own identity, and being in the middle between the two is worse than being on one or the other.

Being right in the middle, is like having save at 50% of the game, where once major choices alter everything, to the point that going forward it's like the dev is developing 2 games/stories rather than one.

Eh, if that's how it be, that's how it be. I feel something has to be racked up with all these different outcomes to events you can get. Like, imagine being a stick in the mud and skipping one third of Calypso's content in this update; how does that unfold for the rest of the game, considering all that happens?

I bet the dev will go with "bad ending" for some choices, and "not perfect route" endings for some others. Example of bad ending i can see are "telling the founder you are willing to sacrifice love ones for power and then actually doing that", "accepting his aid which result in you becoming puppet", "Nancy making good on her warning if you hurt her daughters", "failing quick time event once you don't have Idriel protection resulting in game over and epilogue of what happened to the world after Orion died". Not perfect route will be "being forced to pick only 1 LI at the end due to non optimal choices (like last game)", "maidenless ending (no LI)", and probably "fully virgin ending".

isn't this takes too much time? I remember the dev said he doesn't want to makes the game too complicated and long. And that he focus more on the story... And here i am, years after OIAL ended. Eternum still didn't end :v
Seem like i need to wait more to play it entirely.

 

[gankoba]

Jesus… I figured, well why not, just try the game out. I’m more into 3d free movement games like Koikatsu but fuck…. This game Eternum is amazing! Played up to saving Daliah and…. Damn good game

 

[GamingSavant]

Soooo many quizzes on previous update stuff that determines different outcomes (or helps determine them) by getting them right... this is the Anti-ADHD update, isn't it?

I genuinely had to load up old saves to remember some server names.

 

[Jonathan Reid]

I played the game a long time ago, I think back in 7.0 or something so I don't remember and I gotta ask, is there a proper Luna sex scene yet? No spoilers I just want to know.

 

[hjghjfggfdh]

any ETA for the next update? I do not expect a q2 release but god damn if it takes another year this game will be in dev time for 10 years at this rate

The funniest part to me was Alex noticing and shifting her eyes to Nancy... I'm almost pissed we didn't get to see Nancy and Penny talk... Sounded like it would be absolutely hilarious

I'm actually surprised Penny didn't mention something to Dalia after her whole "we're both still sisters and family!" spiel, cuz that would have been a funny curve-ball to toss in after they made up.

 

[suntzu]

That one I believe is gonna be saved for for a funnier spot, ei. when Penny and or Nancy say they're pregnant as well

The MacOS build is incomplete / broken

I downloaded the macOS archive from Gofile and the game would not start.
Running the .sh file inside the app bundle produced:

Ren'Py platform files not found in:
.../Eternum.app/Contents/Resources/autorun/lib/py3-mac-universal

Workaround:
1. Download Ren’Py 8.3.2 SDK.
2. Copy this folder: renpy-8.3.2-sdk/lib/py3-mac-universal
3. Paste it into: .../Eternum.app/Contents/Resources/autorun/lib
