So I'm not entirely sure where I found you, I previously only supported NLT and Naughty Fox Games, but after stumbling across you and finding that I could download the full version of "once in a lifetime" I played through it, as well as well as the current version of Eternium and have to say... your work is amazing. I'm honestly really impressed with the depth of the characters and how fulfilling the scenes are compared to others in this genre. Specifically Nancy flipping the "hesitant MILF" script and stepping into "girl boss" mode both caught me off guard and earned my sponsorship. Honestly whoever is writing the dialog deserves a raise, all of the girls are nuanced sexy and amazing in their own right, and the inner monolog of the MC nails the right tone of "hero walking on a tightrope". So I've shifted my Pateon budget to favor you and will be recommending your work to a few friends... please keep up the good work.

Oh thats unfortunate. That kinda disqualified most other AVN´s for you. This is definitely one of the best, imho THE best AVN currently available. Should have started at the other end of the spectrum. :D

Get you a girl that looks at you like Penny does

This is the first game of this type I've downloaded, and it's turning out to be very good. I see that this one keeps getting updated, but it's not finished yet. I had a couple of questions: 1) When a new version comes out, do I lose all previous progress? 2) Do new versions usually only work on the content where the previous version left off? Or do they also improve things from the earlier parts of the game, such as changes to the story text, music, improved animations, etc.?

Eternum is hands down the best AVN and one of the best games ever. Take your time sensei, we got you!

PlutonicPlate57

I'm so excited to See how you are going to make this Game even more amazing as it already is.

Just joined patreon a couple of weeks ago and played this BRILLIANT game a few times already. By the looks of the update pics, Orion is getting into shape for the final showdown Rocky 3 & 4 style! The grizzled vet teaching swordplay (Apollo Creed), and cutting logs in the freezing cold (Rocky 4)! I want a '80s training montage! With "ETERNUM... FUCK YEAH!" blasting in the background!

Exsoluna

So hyped! Can't wait to see what the chef is cooking <3

Ricardo

It's going to be a white (hot) Christmas!

Caribdis

In the days of hardship, your works have been the only ray of light in my life. I deeply respect creators like you, and every time I see the faces of your female characters, my restless heart finds peace. My heartfelt salute to you!

SmetBart

Alex joins the Carters, Annie and Orion? Yes! YES! Dalia/Alex/Orion threesome confirmed? Something tells me a few extra passengers are coming back on that trip (if you know what I mean ;) )

Happy gilmor

Looks fantastic my goat 🙏 you're cooking up a first class feast for us 🐐 🐐🐐🐐🐐

Jason Noon

All the girls look perfect! 😍 HOLY!! Gimme gimme gimme!!!

Lucky Snail

Love the feel of these wintry scenes, they look so warm, homey, and cozy. You really hit those feels - I think at the end of the day most people just want to feel safe and surrounded by the ones they love and who love them. As many others have already stated, don't worry at all about the development time. You do fantastic work, and your community can all tell how you throw your heart into it, it's so evident. Please put yourself and your health first, and we will all enjoy the update whenever it is ready!

Kiungas kiung

I love what you are doing G!! Really, as much as I'd like to play and hate having to wait for the last chapter after .9 is out, take all the time in the world as long as you don't compromise quality like most big production companies do lol Your creation here is GOATED forever brother (or sister lol I don't know). Like seriously the story is SOOOO good and the fact that it's mixed with real life lewd elements (to the most part at least hahah) makes it even more exciting and enjoyable. and I also hope there is much more to come even after Eternum or maybe the saga continues or something. But definitely please don't stop you are truly talented and gifted and am super happy for the fact that you can make a living from doing something that you seem to be deeply enjoying also :) really looking forward to it all, and if ever you need help from a (voice) acting, story writing etc. or even marketing standpoint, fellow artist and entrepreneur here super open and happy to help

Gachilord

CARIBDIS!!! TELL US IN THIS UPDATE IF ALEX *redacted because it would be a huge spoiler* AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!!!! Jokes aside, don't worry about the development lenght, take all the time you need. If these sneaks peaks are something to go by, any wait will be 100% worth it.

Ronan

Sweet Penny!

Tansi

Don't worry about the time. Making anything of good quality always takes time.

Twisted Wine

Alex being included in the Carter family trip MADE MY DAY and is already worth the price of the DL bump come release. Hope we get more wholesome scenes like that

Jooyoung Kang

Caribdis. I just wanna say that getting to play this VN has been one of the best VN experiences of my life. You have not only managed to create a world that is teeming with interesting lore and fueling my desire to learn more, but also making me care about these wonderfully written characters whose flaws are just as present as their highlights. I have just become a new supporter for the Patreon, and I wanna say that I will be following and supporting this project till the end. You have genuinely given everything for it, and I will always support those who give it their all to deliver their passions to others. Keep up the great work, stay mentally healthy and sound, and make sure to know that each patron here can confidently say that we back you till the end.

Penny my heart is yours

The best preview pics for this update. I'm mostly a Nancy and Dalia enjoyer, but I missed Penny in the last update. Fortunately she's one of the main girls in this upcoming update. Can't wait to see my queen Gertrude preview.

Cameolon

Penny in a bikini top is exactly what we need. She has such a killer figure.

voiD

The pace of development is whatever you need. Take your time!

Architect Hunter

Take as long as you need we can all wait! ♥

kmk113

And you have made one of , if not the best vn made to date. You deserve the best community and all the love and support you receive!

Máximo Miron

Take all the time u need, this is the best game ever and is worth the wait.

Wei Liu

Amazing. The Christmas vibes on this update: Would be perfect to play around the holidays, especially if the release ends up being around then.

Henri Grenier

Looks amazing Cari! Can't wait, and that render of Penny?! A+ good sir. Missing the Luna love though.

Emmet T McGlynn

On the slower update, it's fine. Dev cycles don't happen in a vaccum and things happen. I always figured your original speed of updates was unsustainable anyway, and as long as you're still making progress I won't really care about how long it takes. The end result is quality, after all.

Missile Man

Cari, two releases a year (including the music fiasco) is great for a title as good as Eternum. As you are well aware, I'm sure, there are other (what I would consider good) titles that have gone over a year without an update. Keep on keeping on and do your thing. I love what you do.

Minh Hoàng

OMG! This is exactly what I have been wishing for, and now I can't even wait for any longer. I’m dying to play 0.9!

vityan

Those are lovely sneaks, Cari. The cozy atmosphere of winter - Both me and CPU are loving it )))

Tomas Devat

Amazing...great job...love the pix...

angel kun

Just today i finished my 4th playthrough (each time different options :D) , cant wait for the next Update... but i must wait, cant rush the Man, have to make the Master of himself to COOK the best Update so far :) and i hope it wont be on BF6 launch, because i would love to enjoy both games at the same time... Great Work Cari, keep this up and have a good one mate :)

Christian

Amazing

Nader Bhm

EndlessNyx

Wooooo happy birthday to me we got another sneak peak man oh man am I still so exictef for this update! Been replaying the game saving at my favorite scenes judt for the occasion! Hope you and the team are still good and happy and still waiting to throw my money at you all!

Daniel Simon

you're treating us with this one, Cari !! All those lovely ladies, all those looks they give us !! 😏😁 I wouldn't be surprised if this is gonna be a very steamy scene with Nancy and Alex, and not just because of the pool :D Also, that Annie Selfie view is SO so gorgeous, I can't wait to see how they all will be spending their Christmas time, it looks perfect. Also, I'll be replaying for this update with the new music for the first time, I'm very curious, but I'm sure the new songs will be worthy and fitting ✨. Have a good one Cari, and thanks for working on what you love, we're all here for it ❤️

Fr0zen34

I see what you did there.

RMZ

Jesus Christ 🤤😏

Gurney

Because of the winter theme, I think the new update would be the perfect Christmas present. And for the fans who will be eagerly waiting, I have a question. What are your top 3 favorite moments from the game? Mine: Luna's victory in the summoning tournament, Nova's RPG scene and perfect hit in the training server, and Annie's villain speech and showoff with solar cataclysm. Of course there are many more, but these three are the ones I just love. I hope Cari keeps bringing more like this. Share your best in reply, i think it will be some good feedback to Caribdis. As always, BIG thank you Cari for all your hard work and for continuing despite all the obstacles.

JBS3.0

Glad to support cari. Stay save and keep up the good work champ

StefanHill

The picture of Annie looks so dreamy. Just perfect for her. Love it.

Lord Eagle

Well, it looks like another 3 months to wait, but it also looks like it will be very much worth it!

oli98

Oh my god! I'm so exited!! Also, don't worry about the time it takes you for the update. I believe it's part of the exitement and I will always preferred a slow and well made game than a rushed one! :)

Drayon

Wow Penny hot as always ❤️ !! Yesss Christmas with my favorite Girls what else could i ask for ❤️❤️ !! Thanks for the Update .

Caracol Rabioso

🥲

Kevin mcconnell

Yessssss, I'm so excited!!!!

Jimmy McPerson

That third picture with Annie is SOOOOO ADORABLE!! Sorry for the outburst, but she's just about tied with Luna for the title of "Best Girl." Speaking of which, where is my lovely little chalupa? 🥺 (¿Chalupita? Sorry, I have no idea where that came from 😅😆)

Faelystiri

Oh my god

POPPIN

Oh my fucking God，penny！！！

Jimmy McPerson

She's busy taking the most adorable selfies ever in the snow. 🥰

Everything seems so beautiful. It's a rare warm moment. Although we've been on the road before, I also wish Cari all the best and look forward to the winter in Clayton.🤩🤩
