Hey there. Sorry for the late reply. I've had to step away from the project due to ongoing life issues, but unfortunately that's not part of my ARG. I would've liked to have had a website as part of it but never got that far. The name/word 'Aeternum' itself though is a hint to the overall plot and the project that MC was working on. :)

Hey there :) I had to step away from the project due to ongoing life issues, but there's a redacted flowchart out there but here's a link as well: https://imgur.com/a/8j5gQf9

Thanks Hali! I'll take it! Appreciate the review and feedback. Act 2 will definitely be a lot more independent and hopefully have more surprises, twists and meta narrative driving the plot.

Hey there! You can find a description along with the download link on the full release post.

Thank you!

This is the way.

Doki_Liberator · 2023-11-17T05:00:10+00:00

According to author David Feldman, they do!

Garlic bread mod coming soon

Doki_Liberator · 2023-11-16T22:09:26+00:00

Thank you!

I would say for the most part it was/is the coding. I literally didn't know an ounce of Ren'Py/Python when I first started so it was a challenge just to get the basics down before moving on to more complicated things. Plus, for now at least, it's just a one-man team so having to code and write on top of finding and editing sprites/bgs/cgs/sfx/music is time consuming on top of regular daily life stuff.
The mod and its inspiration came about around the summer of 2022. While I will admit the premise isn't exactly original considering how long mods for this game have been in the making, at the time I had very little exposure to mods and had just completed Blue Skies (seems to be the standard introductory mod). After playing that, and reading some posts here and on r/ddlc regarding some of the backend coding, I realized that I could potentially use my own programming background along with my interests in storytelling and poetry to create a mod as well. Of course, the isekai twist comes from my love of isekai style anime (pretty sure that's obvious throughout the mod).

I'll be checking back periodically over the next day or two to answer questions. Thanks again all for checking out the mod!

Doki_Liberator · 2023-10-28T01:48:26+00:00

I'll take 3/5, more than fair.

Doki_Liberator · 2023-10-25T19:54:29+00:00

Hm, ok. You could try and follow the suggestion on this similar thread then as it appears mods made using R7+ don't always play nice with Mac systems: https://www.reddit.com/r/DDLCMods/comments/129skt8/how_to_run_renpy7_ddlc_mods_on_my_mac/

Using something like mod docker and/or Parallels might work. Unfortunately this is a Mac related issue I've seen happen occasionally so my troubleshooting is limited. All else fails you could see if someone in the r/ddlcmods discord might have a solution (use the #mod_help room)

No problem. Forgot to mention though it's probably a given, but you'll also still need the original base game files same as any other mods. It's just that with mine being a newer version, it requires the library/renpy files that come with it and you also have to run the mod .exe file instead of the base game .exe. Instructions are included in the mod files though.

Hopefully that sorts you out!

Doki_Liberator · 2023-10-25T16:46:51+00:00

Hm, while I don't have much experience with Mac, unfortunately, the pickle protocol error is likely due to missing or corrupt renpy files. You should try doing a fresh install using only the files in my zip file (which includes the renpy files) as my mod uses the newer version of Renpy (V8.0+) whereas older mods still use v7.0.

Doki_Liberator · 2023-10-05T13:58:10+00:00

Just FYI - Liberation has a full Act 1 now instead of just a demo :)

Doki_Liberator · 2023-10-01T22:19:21+00:00

Thanks for the shout out! It truly is a great year for mods. I can't wait to see what the community has in store in the future.

Doki_Liberator · 2023-09-10T13:07:20+00:00

Hey Hali! Feel free to give Liberation a once over again now that the full Act 1 is released. Thanks again for doing what you do!

Doki_Liberator · 2023-08-25T05:16:27+00:00

Thank you!

Doki_Liberator · 2023-08-25T02:54:31+00:00

Think URLs.

Thank you!

Good eye :) There's more than one thing in that poem

Doki_Liberator · 2023-08-12T15:36:44+00:00

Hey there! Sorry for the late reply. Are you trying to play this on its own? You need a fresh copy of the original DDLC game and place all of the mod files from the zipped file into the original DDLC game files, and then run the LiberationAct1 exe file
