VN Ren'Py Eternum [v0.9.5 Public] [Caribdis]

[Amnezziia]

That's where I see the main problem he has invited.
Whichever group don't get their preferred way, will likely be a bit pissed off.
It would've been far better for his game & his fans if had never suggested something so divisive.

Yes, that's what I said about the Penny/Vampires and Luna/Werewolves choice. That choice shouldn't have existed in the first place and unfortunately it could continue on that path.

But yes, implementing the vote result will displease half of his community that currently pays for the game, because I imagine it's only accessible to those who pay. This all seems like a bad move

Caribdis has consistently delivered top tier work for years now. If he thinks the pacing would be better with a split I trust his judgment. Especially if you're not cut off the girl you didn't choose route, like many other games would. I'm sure I'll enjoy whatever he cooks up regardless.

 

[MagnusTempestus6]

Just about every single other one has been welcomely & widely accepted.
This one is fiercely contested.

And that was kinda the point I tried to make. Maybe that wasn't too clear

And in my opinion so far the narrative of the wholesome harem had largely only been added to and even the werewolf/vampire split was already very strange in that regard.
And that's where I see the tension coming from, this poll (or rather it's currently likely result) just straight up doesn't fit with the vibe of the narrative so far and I seem to not be the only one who thought that. So it didn't surprise me that this one stirred the pot so much actually.

And yes I agree, making the poll was a bit of a mistake. It would likely have been even less of a problem had Cari just done it instead of made the poll about it. That only gives time for fronts to harden. But now we gotta see how it turns out I guess. At the moment I trust.

unfair.

For who?

 

[Leinad_Sevla]

She did blow Orion in 0.7, but was off-screen (it happens when he eye twitches as Valentino approaches)

You´re right, she totally did. I just had a flashback to the sloppy sounds while Orion was checking the door. But I need to see it.

I can't jerk it to offscreen bjs.

Exactly!

It's called mental masturbation.

I´m old school, I think I still prefer the visual stimulation. This game LI´s are made to be seen.

 

[Leinad_Sevla]

How about Nova/Annie, Luna watches(for instructional purposes) and gets cumshot.

A good idea but too far-fetched. But given the rumours of an Annie and Luna threesome, maybe Nova could watch that one and get the prize at the end.

So by my understanding if the branching works like the werewolf scene then what people are mad about?? it doesnt affect the plot and if you want to see the other scene just save before the branching start thats all, its not like a certain popular game with multiply branches like diving down a rabbit hole. and i hate branching also and prefer a straight forward story but if branching like the werewolf/dracula scene then its not really a bother imo.

True. Branching is fun when it's short and has no long-term repercussions.

Branching sucks when a decision you made 30 hours ago is affecting your current content

Thats why i dont mind the branching in Eternum unlike for example in FF7R you have to replay the game all the way down to change your decision just to see another gondola date with different characters.

thats what avn is for Adult Visual Novel and I dont think its about beeing oldschool etc., men are just more visually stimulated in general haha

 

[NoiVul]

Why not a compromise? After MC makes his choice, he rethinks and decides to tell the other girl where he's going. And naturally she's going to find some excuse to either follow him, or ask to come with him. And also naturally, she ends up watching, or maybe getting seen at the end.

That's the whole point of branching... Otherwise why have it? if it's pointless you're just wasting your development time AND your players time...

For flavor, without impacting the game ending?

Why not have both scenes happening separately then, so the player can just have both?

 

[Lolicon Kami]

View the scene again. It's obvious that both can't happen at the same time, or one after the other

Why is it 'obvious'?

 

[NoiVul]

Id rather that both events actually occur in the story
that's just simpler and makes more sense from the pokemon perspective
but I know there's already a vote on it

 

[MAGO-DAG]

The only thing that really surprises me is that the branching has more votes...
I have nothing against branching and Separate choices, but the thing is that this is Eternum, we are all so used to the harem-style plot and light atmosphere that the branching really caught some of us off guard...

It's like if I had to choose between a scene to go to cute Luna or to pretty Penny? Then one of them will be left without attention which partially contradicts against harem even if it will be an H-scene(Yeah yeah, I know that I can save slots), but the atmosphere will not be the same...

but hey, it's just my opinion, I know that sometimes developers want to try something new I think it will be a one-time idea... we'll see
