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

[maxthruster]

Finally got around to playing the new update, and wow. I continue to be blown away by how fantastic this game is. The renders are top-notch, the animations are amazingly detailed, the characters are incredible, the writing is funny, the music is just right for every scene, just everything coming together in absolutely perfect ways. The lore build going on with Hyril'ar was fascinating, the date with Luna was so sweet, the heist was hilarious, watching everyone react to Orion's disappearance and return made me tear up, the cliffhanger gave me goosebumps, and that sauna scene with Dalia and Alex was everything I could've hoped for and more. I really just don't know how else to describe it, this was incredible.

The founder's power is probably "borrowed" from Calypso's progenitor Mom's power AKA Idriel.

I don't think Idriel has the ears to be an ancestor of Caly's.

I don't think Idriel has the ears to be an ancestor of Caly's.

Unless that's a twist reveal. That the original rulers of Caly's realm were the humans (and maybe it was more common that humans and elves mix than the one off abominations the elves now treat it as) and the elves were the ones that took it from them. So Caly is descended from some human and elf ancestors. That would also mean that the elves hatred of humans is really a self-report about them usurping and running out the rightful rulers and not because the humans tried to take over from them,

I remembered something like that, but not the specifics. So maybe that is some miss-remembered history and/or propaganda, or maybe it's true and there are more than just the one of those types of people that she is referencing. It'll be really interesting to see how everything comes together over the last few parts of the story. Theories abound for this game.

It's part of how you know it's got a good foundations. Hopefully Caribdis can pull it all together even better than he did with his first game.

plz save file

 

[SweatyDevil]

plz save file

Just CTRL skip through the game until the point you want. It's faster than waiting for save file, and safer also.

 

[strutleo]

I'm unfamiliar with updating these games, could someone tell me how you would go about it? Does it have to a a full download of the new version and then transferring save files over or something?

if you are in PC save transfer it's automatic. Just download the new version and unzip it

Anybody have any guesses on what the scenes in the next update will be? I feel like I normally know who will be featured.

-Nancy is the only guaranteed one I can think of.
-Maybe Annie or Nova since they were skipped in the previous one?
-Orion has a meeting with Axel, so maybe Alex...though she's gotten a bunch in a row already, so maybe not. (But she's tied for my favorite, so I wouldn't be mad at all if she got another)
-No idea on who the fourth would be, if we assume both Annie and Nova get separate scenes. And one of them will probably be a threesome if following the current trend.

Annie and Luna threesome was hinted 3000 times already, I hope 0.10 will have it finally. And I wouldn't be so sure about Nancy, my theory about cliffhangers and cryptic Caribdis messages is that someone from girls will have some kind of ulterior motive. Nancy is my prime suspect. It would explain why she doesn't age (you know, if she is NPC or some shit). Also it would be reason why she is helping Orion - maybe she actually doesn't.

Of course, it could be nothing like that and more like "OMG I need to save them from certaint death" or something. In that scenario I think we would get Calypso scene (because she would be only person who is powerfull enough to help us, so we need to have arc with her, and arc = sex scene). Also, she is yet to be penetrated.

I mean, she even works for Founder

 

[diegoBigdih]

Caribdis, bring back Stabby Mike for 0.10 pls

 

[Dorfnutter]

No she doesn't? Her lab got acquired by Ulysses, yes, but she doesn't answer directly to the Founder.

 

[AVNplayer69]

Sure man.... Nancy is an NPC, she's Founder's puppet, Dalia and Penny are just her holographic projections, Annie and Chang are just Orion's imaginary friends and Orion is Schizophrenic

 

[Idle-Fool]

Probably a dumb question since there doesn't seem to be but is there any way to skip/choose episodes? I got very far in the past but lost access to my old laptop/saves and now I have to start over. I'm limited on time and sadly can't really play the whole thing again so I just thought I'd check. I'd appreciate any reply whatever the answer is. Cheers.

Get the walkthrough mod (or just the walkthrough page), click all 3 skip options in "Preferences," and skip through the game how you want. It'll take an hour or less to do everything, and less to get where you were.

OR you can search and download a save file of the last update you played that'll get you around to where you were.

So this is the first time I've played this one. I really like what I see so far but I'm having a problem with the game crashing to desktop after around 10 minutes of playtime. I've forced changed renderers and about everything else I can think of. I get this message in Windows Events:

I never wrote that (other that Nancy being NPC). I just said, that broadly speaking, cliffhanger doesn't need to be somebody dying, it can be betrayal too. No need to be sarcastic.

No she doesn't? Her lab got acquired by Ulysses, yes, but she doesn't answer directly to the Founder.

So, if I work for Meta and my superior is some rando from Bangladesh, Zuck can't give me orders? Don't think that works in real life bro. Also, this super important guy is getting in to her lab every week - seems to me that there could be connection to Founder.

So, following your theory and knowing that NPCs are the souls of the dead trapped in Eternum, it's not clear to me how Nancy can disconnect from Eternum and return to Earth.
Furthermore, another thing is not clear to me: if Nancy is an NPC, then she is already dead. The necrophilia tag is missing here.

If the Founder gave two shits about his company, sure. Board made it pretty clear in 0.4 tho that he doesn't really run the real world operations of the company and it's mainly William who is running the whole show.

Also read the "super important guy's" dialogue back in 0.5. It's heavily implied that he is answering directly to William, who in turn is planning some sort of hostile takeover from the Founder. Goes to show how lacking the Founder's influence is in the company, much less respect.
