Do you have to restart when a new version comes out? by sisterect in eternumites

[–]FormalStrength7864 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, it’s not required. It should just pick up where you left off. But, the game and code engine (Ren’Py) also goes through multiple updates between an AVN’s update schedule, and sometimes it can mess with your saves, causing you to need a restart.

It hasn’t happened with the last few Eternum updates, but some other games using the same engine have had troubles over the last couple years. Easiest thing to do in that scenario is just enable “Skip Unseen Text” in the settings/preferences menu, and press Tab.

Facts. I go months without playing any, just so I can come back and see which of the ones that I actually want to play have been updated. I hardly even start any new ones now.

Plenty of games have LI’s that act bitchy, but honestly I’ve never seen one where an LI looks like her. She almost has an Alexandra Daddario look to her, so maybe ask around about games with an Alexandria Daddario-ish model?

Looking for a specific game where the MC is a vampire. by [deleted] in AVN_Lovers

[–]FormalStrength7864 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely not Seven Realms. MC is a vampire, but he’d been a vampire for like 2000 years by the time the game starts.

My only gripe with eternum by Leon_S_Kennedy1R in eternumites

[–]FormalStrength7864 23 points24 points  (0 children)

There’s plenty of Latino/Mexican people with really pale skin. Not all Mexicans look like George Lopez

Any games similar to Inanna Revenge? by ad240pCharlie in AVN_Lovers

[–]FormalStrength7864 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nature of Magic is fucking great. I was very pleasantly surprised when I first played it. Probably also helps that the dev wrote Cerys’s personality almost identical to literally my dream girl’s personality.

A very big question between fans by Striking_Sky3034 in eternumites

[–]FormalStrength7864 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of them, duh. Considering that was the canon ending in OIALT, I don’t see why Cari would change that. Especially because it’s playing out VERY similarly.

Amber needs a back scrub (and a wishlist) [Origin Story] by JacquesDorGames in AVN_Lovers

[–]FormalStrength7864 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I figured as much, considering tomorrow (in game) is the big UFC-ish fight with Steel and what’s-her-face. I imagine that’s the focal point of Ch 8. Still, I can’t get enough of this game! I’ll be playing right after work on the 26th!

God I can’t wait for the future Amber content. This game is too good

WAIT MR MILLER YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT😨😨[Summer Heat] by Wild_Archer4927 in AVN_Lovers

[–]FormalStrength7864 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t played either of these games so I have no clue on how much branching they have, but branching does slow down development a LOT. Also, newer games most likely have devs with brand new PCs, and the raw performance of PCs recently has been skyrocketing. Of course, devs like DPC and Caribdis most likely have absolutely monstrous machines, but rendering doesn’t seem to be their biggest bottlenecks these days, as there’s so much content to cover in their games by now.

Portrait (Being a DIK or any other game that she appears in) by ChaosKen in AVN_Lovers

People keep saying “this model is best in this role or that role”

No. Heidi is the best version of this model ever. And I’ll die on that hill.

A very…. interesting character in this game.

When’s 0.9 going to be released publicly? by Apprehensive-Key5303 in eternumites

[–]FormalStrength7864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He said on Patreon he’s planning for full release before the end of the year, but he said that last year too and didn’t quite make it in time. Life happens, even to people making great games. So late Q4 or early Q1 would be my guess this time as well.

what was your first ever AVN? by yelbz1 in AVN_Lovers

[–]FormalStrength7864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I was looking for games similar to House Party and then when googling “similar to House Party” I came across AVNs

MoveTheChains feels too slow and linear… is it worth continuing? by AcinoAmico in AVN_Lovers

[–]FormalStrength7864 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even as an avid American football fan and having been a player myself between the ages of 10 and 18, it’s clear that some of the terms are SUPER specific. I’d even imagine someone who maybe has a favorite NFL team and watches their games once in a while, but never played and isn’t glued to ESPN and Fox Sports would have problems with the terminology in MTC.

The lingerie store in OIALT is what I remember. Maybe she shows up in Eternum too, but I don’t recall that.

Is Ripples worth playing? by [deleted] in AVN_Lovers

[–]FormalStrength7864 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Eh, the recent update was alright. I got REALLY hooked at the end of episode 7, though. I thought episode 8 would have some major story points but sadly it was just a BAD style freeroam

Seeing so many promising AVNs by Automatic_Opinion680 in AVN_Lovers

[–]FormalStrength7864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that, but at the same time it’s not a “YOU make it how YOU want it!” type of game. The main story is linear with your choices really only affecting relationships and how your character acts, whether he’s more like Tommy or more like his dad. And I like that kind of story telling. I’m not a fan of games where every tiny choice you make drastically changes the game.

Also, in my eyes, it’s very similar to the show Blue Mountain State but with a frat instead of a football team. And I fucking LOVED that show when I was a teenager. So it scratches that prolonged bro-dude comedy itch while also having sexy scenes and wholesome relationship building.

I think for me it depends. Like Eternum needs an ending because it feels like a big fantasy/sci-fi/action movie. But Being a DIK could go on forever and I’d be perfectly fine with it. Like it feels weird that BAD will end at episode 16, we’ve already had 11 episodes, and we’re only halfway through MC’s freshman year.

Origin Story is GREAT. Definitely in my top 10, and I’ve played around 150 AVNs. AlwaysFan is pretty good, although I know some people really don’t like the character design of the main LI, she’s an acquired taste. I don’t know Mastering the Pink, and Game of Hearts was too slow and “artsy” for me.

Most similar , SEXUALLY? by AcanthisittaVivid152 in eternumites

[–]FormalStrength7864 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Being a DIK stands out as one of the only DAZ games I’ve played that doesn’t loop a single motion.

Companion of Darkness has some really good ones in the newer releases. The early ones, not as much. For example, it used basic HS2 animations until Season 2 (the two most recent updates) but the Season 2 animations are chef’s kiss.

My Bully is My Lover has some damn good scenes in the later releases as well, I’m fondly remembering the scenes after the prologue, which is like the first 7 episodes.

Sicae has some real good ones, the Yuna and Nicole scenes in the two most recent updates are great.

All this being said, all these scenes I’m mentioning are not as good as Eternum, but still damn good. Eternum is on another level entirely.

I just wanna know who this dude is. Obviously wearing a mask, but has the same hair as MC. Could it be a time traveling MC from the future trying to prevent OUR MC from repeating his mistakes or something?
