[0.9] - Progress Report
🕑 Added 2025-05-28 19:01:42 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
It’s been quite a while since my last progress report, so I thought now would be a great time to share a quick update on how development is going!
As you already know if you read my previous posts, the start of version 0.9’s development was a bit rough. A lot happened all at once, and I wasn’t exactly operating at peak productivity for a few weeks. But as you probably know already too, things are going better now. I’m back to my usual pace, and although there’s still work to do to make up for that slow start, progress is moving steadily.
As you can see in the pinned post, we’re currently sitting at 44% complete (though keep in mind that number is just an estimate—it becomes more accurate as we get closer to 100%). So far, I’ve completed 741 renders and 25 animations, all fully coded and with their corresponding dialogue! (over 6,900 lines of code, to be precise).
Now, I know I’ve said this for the last three updates in a row… but once again, I really do expect this to be the biggest update yet. More renders, more dialogue, and more hours of content than ever before! 🤩
The first part of the update will take place in Hyril’ar, Calypso’s realm 🪄
This section will be a major part of the update and a crucial arc in the overall story. While parts of it will be optional or may branch based on your choices, it will feature plenty of important moments. You’ll uncover hidden secrets, meet a lot of new side characters—some friendly, others not so much—and, of course, grow closer to our magical elven princess. I’ve also been working on some cool new mechanics that I can’t wait for you to experience! (Don’t worry, no overly complicated minigames.)
If the first sneak peeks will mostly feature our elven friends, fear not—0.9 will contain much more. All the girls will have screen time, with some of them seeing key developments in your relationship with them. The main plot will also keep advancing steadily toward the grand finale, which gets closer and closer every day (while being still far, no panic).
In total, v0.9 will include 4 new lewd scenes, featuring at least five different girls—each one fully animated and similar in length to previous scenes.
You will be busy ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

And that's all from me for today!
I’m not sure what else I can say without spoiling anything, but feel free to drop your questions in the comments down below or send me a DM. I’ll always be available for you guys! (even if sometimes I take a bit to reply)
I truly can’t express enough how much your support means to me and to the project during these months of development between update and update.
Never forget, this is all possible thanks to every single one of you ❤️
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
See you all next month with new content! Stay tuned!
Have a wonderful day, behave yourselves, and stay awesome!
Love you all,
Caribdis

Just finished my first playthrough and must say I was simply floored in amazement at how good the story is and the depth of each character. Many flawless, smooth animations, and at a surprising length, much longer than your average game in this genre. The animation loops are long and high quality. Truly a masterpiece so far, I can't wait for the next 0.9 update! Going back for my second run of this to pick up Luna, as she was the only one grayed out at the end of my first run. Thank you so very much, Caribdis, for this remarkable work of art!

You don't even need to be a Patreon for it just join the discord and check the announcements channel everytime there's a progress update towards the next update it's posted there

Let me say I just joined so I could see if .9 was available yet, but im glad i joined and let me tell you, I haven't been able to put eternum down since I downloaded it and it has to be one of the best VN I've ever had. That .8 ending was too much of a cliff hanger I audible gasped out loud

I'm glad to see the success you've had as of late. Granted I only joined and found out about Eternum around or during 0.6 but there seem to be a lot more subscribers now. I'm glad I could support it to get it out to for more people to experience. I'm also quite excited to see more of Calypso. As usual, thanks for you dedication and hard work. See ya next time Cari!

Continued sponsorship is enough to show my attitude😍😍😍

At some point, "this update will be the biggest one yet" will not suffice; you will find it easier and simpler to just scream "F*** IT, WE'LL DO IT LIVE" and develop the implant VR system and just have us finish the story ourselves. Can't wait to spend $2500 to $3500 on an implant.
