Loved your previous game but this blows it out of the water, once again you managed to make a whole cast of amazing women to pursue. Shame the ole stabbster isn't the active president in this game or doesn't make a surprise appearance in some form. Guy made me laugh, chop-chop seems to be this games weirdo that likes to follow the MC around. 😂
So, yeah, finished it. no way im going through it again to *try* open different routes, but what i got so far was preety damn good. ( i see in screens on the side you can do the redhair, no clue how tho)
Anyway, Mr, i think you shot yourself in the foot right here, now you gotta write Eternum itself.
Caribdis is definitely my favorite VN creator, and the long awaited updates are worth it. Once In A Lifetime ended at version 1.0, I'll be so sad when Eternum ends too😂😭
Version numbers don't work like that; after 0.9 comes 0.10, then 0.11 and so on. In OIALTs case, 0.10 got indeed turned into 1.0, the full release, but that was a coincidence. We already know that there will be at least a 0.11 version at some point.
lo que éste juego necesita es un factor de re-jugabilidad, espero que tenga algo parecido en el endgame para que no sea algo que simplemente terminas y se acabó, sino que puedas seguir interactuando con los personajes una vez se termine la historia principal, se agradecería mucho.
I want to ask if anyone else on andriod has had any problems with loading? My game crashes each time I try to load in, ive tried deleting and reinstalling and that doesnt seem to work
Old saves from 0.5 not working is a common issue, unfortunately. Try other saves, maybe only some are affected. If not, you have to start over. I always recommend playing Eternum again, but you can also speed through the game really fast by making liberal use of the skip feature and enabling the "Skip unseen text" setting if you need to.
Such a great concept giving you so much freedom to explore different worlds. So immersive.
I played once and again using the walkthrough. I was impressed both times. There are a few buggy bits that could be fixed. Collectors mansion if you advance a round too soon you miss the chance to do certain things like open the poly juice and find out Gemini's age. It feels like those paths should still be available.
In general there are a lot of paths throughout the whole story that are now or never, it would be good if there were more different paths to reach the same object, second chances if you will.
A general question why are all the women white? More diversity among the Hareem would be good.
I agree with above poster that forgetting the early yoga conversation is disappointing. As is forgetting Dalia baked chocolate brownies later when choosing flavoured protein powder.
All the above is intended genuine feedback to help improve an already fantastic game.
The coin toss irritates me. I call heads while the walk through says tails which seems niave. Based on coin toss results alone if there are 99 heads and no other results then there is no evidence that tails is ever possible. (More likely the coin has 2 heads and no tail.) Maybe the point is that in the alternative reality normal rules of mathematics and scientific method do not apply (but in lots of other cases they seem to.) Anyway just my little rant. It doesn't take away from the game and maybe will explain itself later but it annoyed me.
I also want to grab Regina by the hair in the locker room and take her roughly before she has time to do anything else. Lol.
Anyway love the game. Great work. I can't wait to see where it goes next.
To comment on your "now or never" critique, I found that to be annoying too, at first. The game pretty much carves out most of a girl's content if you lose her path. But the big advantage of this design approach is that the "one true path" - the one suggested by the walkthrough - contains everything you'll want to see. Eternum's story is fairly linear, which means that most development time gets used to expand the "one true path" in length instead of making it wider through branching narratives. And I'd prefer a single epic story over a choose-your-own-adventure style one.
Btw, would you mind telling me which paths you lost during your first play of Eternum? I want to get an idea of how difficult the game is.
SPOILERS As for the coin toss... I don't think this is about the scientific method or probability at all. This is a mindset. Defy the pattern. Break the chain.
I get that on the coin toss and it doesn't break the game just irks me personally. The question wasn't about influencing the result it was about predicting it and it is very predictable.
Wonderful game, I've been playing it for a week or so, Was just looking for a porn game to play but I've had a really good time playing, funny jokes ( a little cheesy and times) good story and wonderful scenes! Total recommendation to play!
gorgeous 18+ scenes whit an immersive world and the girls's background it's the most interesting I've ever seen in other games like this and Chang is so hilarious.
BTW as a mexican dude I found Luna's trip one of the best moments.
I was looking for a game to spend a couple of free days... I found ETERNUM, I had to leave everything, I couldn't stop playing to find out what would happen next. I was captivated by the story, the humor, the characters, the SONGS and obviously the graphics. I can't wait for the new update, excellent work Charybdis, my respect and admiration for your work.
Found a bug - in Luna's question game, I get stuck in an infinite loop where after Luna says "Shoot", the dialogue tree goes back to "Play the Game" or "Pass."
Love this update and your games in general the Sense of humor is on point and story is also amazing! Slowly unraveling what eternum really is. It's amazing! Love both of your games and I will follow you on this journey of game making
started following you from the previous game, was not disappointed even though eternum isn't finished yet. great work!! the story, the renders, the models, the animations, the music, everything has gotten so much better!! you've improved a lot!! well done!! hail stabby mike!!
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/security.html You should you only accept save files from trusted sources. Also, sharing them can reveal information about the sharer and their computer. I'd suggest someone to produce official save files on a virtual machine, but for the time being, you can speed through the game by making liberal use of the skip feature; remember to enable "Skip unseen text" if you need to.
After the update for some reason all the previous saves dont work and when I started fresh I noticed that I dont get some options like when he takes out his phone to text, I only got the "i dont have time right now" button. What did I do wrong?
Saves not working when updating from 0.5 to 0.6 is a common problem, unfortunately. But the second issue sounds very odd indeed. Can you post a screenshot of the chat(s) in question?
I've been waiting hungrily for this next update and I can confidently say I'm not disappointed! It was AMAZING!
I can't wait to see a full game release, the world you're building is fascinating! The writing is top notch as always and the spice was VERY spicy (That last scene with Alex, dear LORD). Unraveling the truth behind the origins of Eternum is a mystery I can't wait to solve.
I was drawn in from start to finish, absolutely captivating! So much so that part of me never wants it to end, I could disappear into that world for days. Your writing feels so natural. The dialogue flows realistically, and doesn't make the MC seem fake. You've written your characters in a way that really makes me care for them. Seeing them succeed and conquer the challenges put in front of them, seeing them happy, makes me happy.
Great work Caribdis, you've impressed me again! Can't wait for the next update!
This is such an incredible game. I always look forward to an update and playing it. You're sense of pacing, world building, character writing, and humor are all top notch!
I did have one question regarding Nova however, was it your intention to make her trans at some point? Because in the scene where she gives MC a manga she seems to be packing but later that's completely not the case. It would've been fine if you had in my opinion I was just wondering cause it was really out of place otherwise.
99% jamming to the banger music, laughing, and even at some point my eyes started sweating (I definitely did not cry) during some of the scenes, I mean this game being called a masterpiece is an understatement and the animated scenes are top notch I'm honestly surprised my potato of a laptop didn't combust. all in all, I'm having fun playing and can't wait to play once in a lifetime as well. :)
(also, I forgot to mention that eternum kinda hints to actual irl senarios which makes playing even more immersive)
Just coming here again to sing your praises. I've just started my fourth playthrough. I play it all the way through each new update and your writing skills are to be commended. It's almost like seeing old friends, when the characters pop up on my screen for the first time. If you haven't played this and are going through the comments, I can only recommend you give it a try. Like so many others you see here, you'll come for the lewd but stay for the story and characters. Well done once again Caribdis!
Made an account just to comment here, but this is my first AVN and I'm really glad I jumped into it not knowing literally anything. I'm just blown away by the level of care and detail to create an immersive world. I only played like an hour, but I was just that impressed so quickly haha, and I'm excited by the prospect of more to come as well. Happy to support projects like this on Patreon.
I have downloaded 0.6 but it doesn't allow me to load my saved progress 😔 it says that an exception has occurred l. Exception: couldn't find a place to stop rolling back. Perhaps the script has changed in an incompatible way?. So I don't understand and I actually want to play the game 🙃 so please can anyone help I'm on android
Version change issues... Try other saves too, maybe only some saves are affected. If none seem to work, you have to start over. I always recommend playing Eternum again, but you can also speed through by making liberal use of the skip feature; the "Skip unseen text" option in the preferences helps too.
just a small question. its been almost 6 months since i played this and i really find this amazing though i wanna play the full game of it's entirety without any waiting so pretty much just to sum up what im saying is that is there a specifc thought when or possibly when the game will be finished??????

there are some Reference too him n u find out what school he went too
Oh so there are more references to him near the the end of .60? Only reference I caught was the initial one in the beginning looll
So, yeah, finished it. no way im going through it again to *try* open different routes, but what i got so far was preety damn good. ( i see in screens on the side you can do the redhair, no clue how tho)
Anyway, Mr, i think you shot yourself in the foot right here, now you gotta write Eternum itself.
you have to follow her route so you'll have to replay it, there is a walkthrough if you dont want to waste time that gives you all of them in one run.
how do i report this game
how do i report to your parents you grew up being a disappointment? oh wait they already know that nvm
Skittle, you must be a Donald trump supporter huh?
no
thank you for mentioning these details I always felt there is something with the timeline but I didn't know what is it
I'll check out the timeline, thank you so much for your comment!
Glad you liked it! <3

Oh wait you're right about that lmao, because some games have gone up to 0.23. Smh I feel dumb lol. Thanks for the reminder

I want to ask if anyone else on andriod has had any problems with loading? My game crashes each time I try to load in, ive tried deleting and reinstalling and that doesnt seem to work
If you use the full res version, did you follow the instructions that came with the game? If that's not the issue, do you get any error messages?
It doesnt work for me as well, I tried re-loading an old save it I got hit with a:
While running game code:
File "renpy/common/00action_file.rpy", line 479, in __call__
Exception: Couldn't find a place to stop rolling back. Perhaps the script changed in an incompatible way?
File "renpy/rollback.py", line 826, in load_failed

As for the coin toss... I don't think this is about the scientific method or probability at all. This is a mindset. Defy the pattern. Break the chain.
I lost Luna, Nova & Dalia on my first play.
I get that on the coin toss and it doesn't break the game just irks me personally. The question wasn't about influencing the result it was about predicting it and it is very predictable.
Anyone know how many hours of content are in the game currently
I like to play slow and I'd estimate... 25 hours without breaks? Not sure, I'd like to hear other estimates too.
Hey you, yes you. If you still wandering around searching for a great game, fuck you, and download this game right now, trust me......
ok well fuck you, I will
Well fuck you, I already did
when will the nxt update be out and how do i download it
You have to download the whole package again wherever you want in your PC, all your old saves will still be there
ok thank you
question, do i save over my previous game or does it not matter
One of the best 18+ VN out there.
seriously.
Its not cliche , eye candy environment visuals and great story plot. I've played it 3-4 times
(I don't know how to load saves) and still will never romance the goth girl 😂
Ask her about her gloves ;-)
Or download the walkthrough
Honestly, this is one of the most captivating 18+ games i've ever played. please don't lose the passion for this project, you're such a great dev
Thank you!
Wonderful game, I've been playing it for a week or so, Was just looking for a porn game to play but I've had a really good time playing, funny jokes ( a little cheesy and times) good story and wonderful scenes! Total recommendation to play!
I don't usually comment, but this game is fantastic! Can't wait to see what happens next.
Wow this game it's insane.

BTW as a mexican dude I found Luna's trip one of the best moments.
I can't wait the next update.
Thank you very much :)
question im new to these types of games how do i download the update when it comes out
I was looking for a game to spend a couple of free days... I found ETERNUM, I had to leave everything, I couldn't stop playing to find out what would happen next.

Exactly I agree with everything you said
Found a bug - in Luna's question game, I get stuck in an infinite loop where after Luna says "Shoot", the dialogue tree goes back to "Play the Game" or "Pass."
18+ content aside I think it's one of the best games I have ever played, the story is just really really good. Can't wait for 0.7!
TYVM!
Love this update and your games in general the Sense of humor is on point and story is also amazing! Slowly unraveling what eternum really is. It's amazing! Love both of your games and I will follow you on this journey of game making
Thanks!

THANKS
Any size difference?

It's not the case, the scene you mention must be just a weird shadowing
my experience with eternum so far-
1% trying to complete it.
99% jamming to the banger music, laughing, and even at some point my eyes started sweating (I definitely did not cry) during some of the scenes, I mean this game being called a masterpiece is an understatement and the animated scenes are top notch I'm honestly surprised my potato of a laptop didn't combust. all in all, I'm having fun playing and can't wait to play once in a lifetime as well. :)

This is not just a game, it's also art. Thanks to the Chinese translation patch.
This is the best game 😀.there is no bugs for me and the only problem is put more updates in it
if you don't headcanon James Wong voicing Chop Chop then there's something wrong with you /s

Two years is the absolute minimum, but it might as well take three or more. Not even the dev is sure.
Seems to take about half a year or so for each update, so if the dev remains consistent and isn't delayed, probably in about two years, give or take.
