[0.7] - Progress Report
🕑 Added 2023-12-04 09:27:55 +0000 UTCHello everyone!!!
I hope you're all doing great!
First of all, I want to personally thank every single one of you from the bottom of my heart for sticking with me another month and making this journey possible ❤️❤️❤️
You guys are simply awesome 🥹
Now, onto some exciting news about the game!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last month I didn't publish many things, but that will change this month! Starting with this new progress report, I'll also post 2 (maybe 3) new wallpapers, more polls to decide the poster images, and what you're probably waiting for the most, a new set of sneak peeks!
All this coming your way throughout December!
Progress is going well, although perhaps a bit slower than usual. I'm not going to make any excuses or claim that it's because the next update will be massive or something (its size will be similar to the previous one), but I want to assure you that I'm fully dedicated to the game's development and pushing myself to work at my maximum pace without compromising quality (or mental health). If it was up to me, I'd be rolling out a new update every month! 😆
One thing I can 100% promise is that I'll always be here to address any and all of your questions with absolute transparency! You won't get rid of me so easily 😎
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are the current stats:
- 695 renders
- 17 animations
- 7100 lines of code
All of them already done and integrated into the game!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first arc (or chapter, segment, or phase, call them however you want 😆) is already wrapped up! This segment, as you saw in the last set of sneak peeks, includes Luna and Penny back in Ekabar, the medieval server.
In this arc, there's a pivotal decision ahead. Not only will it potentially shape the story's direction in the future, but it'll also create distinct scenes within this upcoming update. One path centers around Luna, while the other spotlights Penny, although your decision might depend more on the world's events rather than the girls themselves.
Rest assured, while some other minor choices or bonus relationship points may hinge on this decision, you won't lose the path or any gallery scenes of the girl you don't choose, so don't worry about that. The harem path will always be a possibility!
If you played Once in a Lifetime, it's something similar to the choice between Lauren's and Judie's plan when you're about to attack the Mayor's house with Stabby Mike, but the alternate options will be more extensive. Whatever you choose, I highly recommend playing through both options to see all the content! There are cool scenes whatever you choose!
The conclusion of this arc will significantly hinge on the choices you make throughout it, so stay vigilant! During your adventure in Eternum, what might seem like a small decision or a inconsequential scene could have a sneaky way of coming back to you in the future... 😈
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And that's all for now!
As I said earlier, keep an eye out for more exciting content dropping throughout the month!
Stay tuned!
Thank you for all your support 🥰🥰🥰
Love you all
Caribdis

Really looking forward to Eternum 0.7. Am now up to more than 20 other AVNs, but Once in a Lifetime and Eternum are still my favs.
Kojiro Sasaki

I just finished version 0.6 and I really like it. Thank you for your hard work. I really appreciate it
William McCoy
Just finished my 5th(I think) playthrough, and my god I can't wait for the story to continue. So many girls still left to have fun with.

By updates I just meant Patreon posts since he said "Last month I didn't publish many things, but that will change this month! Starting with this new progress report, I'll also post 2 (maybe 3) new wallpapers, more polls to decide the poster images, and what you're probably waiting for the most, a new set of sneak peeks! All this coming your way throughout December!" Maybe I am missing them somehow, hmm...
Caribdis
Thank you Red!!
Caribdis
Thank you so much Vydrium ❤️❤️

I just finished 0.6 and I am a massive fan of the either game. I laughed, I was jump scared, overall I enjoyed the whole thing. I found myself itching to play more to see how things progress with each of the girls. The ending of this one was by far my favorite. I am very curious as to how things go in the next patch. Theres just too many thing I want to see "what happens next". Harem game or no, the story is beyond good. I am looking forward to the next with baited breath. You have my full attention!

There's a sneak peak post right above this (hidden from you?). Also, patrons voted long ago to not go with short releases (i.e. monthly) and instead get longer updates (practically by story arc). This dev has actually completed a game and the quality of this game is considerable, so they got leeway to keep that quality up.
Vydrium
I only recently started supporting you, but I've been following your work since the beginning of Eternum. It's the best game I've ever played (in the +18 game genra), so I wanted to express my gratitude for your work with this message (along with my humble participation). I hope you're doing well and I'm happy to read that you work without compromising your mental health. Don't get me wrong; I would love to see the next update sooner, but I would prefer to have the full game in the long run (even if it takes more time) and not a abandonned one. So, try not to stress too much if you're not always at your best. We are all human, and it's normal to go through less productive phases. Apologies for the lengthy post, and Happy New Year !!
Curtis
Any updates? The month ends in a couple days and you haven't released any this month.
James Mick
You should see a pinned post that shows the current completion, which is 71%.
Secret
I disagree! It's the best thing to play it until where it's currently ready, then when there's an update after a very long time - you can enjoy it all over again!! :D
JEAN LOUIS DEHOUX
Do we have an idea of the time frame for 7.0 of at least a percentage of completion?
LordMistBorn
I'm really excited for this game to be continued to be made. After the secret ending and the Prison ending in Once in a Lifetime alluded to this game, I hope we get to see some crossovers
Majah Flavah
Me and Stabby Mike died at the end of Once in a Lifetime. :(
YEET
For real
HimLaah
Bring back Stabby Mike!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Caribdis
Thank you absolute! 😍
Caribdis
Hahaha Mike is our platonic love
Caribdis
Thank you Manfred!!!
Manfred Hein
First of all, I would like to congratulate you on this enormous work - such a complex story, this range and the surprising amount of pictures and texts are completely new to me! I was thrilled and totally captivated by this game! I will continue to follow you and support you - best wishes from Frankfurt am Main. Germany - Keep it up! You are so exciting and imaginative....
Nalim27
Thanks for answer Caribdis! After a day of thinking I deleted current game version 0.6 and I will start new game when 0.9 will be released and final game will be ready in near future. You are very good story writer, character development is great too and I simply enjoy your story in one go better (1-2 weeks of playing). Not to mention very good graphic (both unique character look and background). I did 3D graphics when I was younger myself and I know how much time it will consume, even if you have more advanced 3d modellers today and free (and paid) 3D assets. One last question - do you have do did you consider adding sound effect like language independent Oooooh, Ahhhh, Hihi etc. during sex scenes? It will make them much more immersive. And really last question - did you consider to use today's advanced AI text to speech engines to do full or partial character dubbing? I mean something like https://elevenlabs.io/ (you can use limited demo for free to check quality) or https://coqui.ai/ (trying is for free too) ?

"If you played Once in a Lifetime, it's something similar to the choice between Lauren's and Judie's..." LET ME STOP YOU RIGHT THERE SIR. For starters, you don't have the right to make to back to back bangers. Alright? And listen, everybody knows that Lauren is the best-- just getting that out of the way. Oh and Stabby Mike? More like Stab me for life! Why isn't Mike a romance option in Eternum Carbdis? The people demand answers >:|

Thank you for being so open and transparent on the game's development ! I am excited to see what you come up with for the rest of this amazing game ! Take the time you need to bring your idea to life and don't feel too much pressure releasing updates, what matters is you and the end results ! Much love <3
joseph
im still pushing for a actual rpg of this game ( its duck from subscriber ment to sub here but did there by mistake XD) love the work maaaan KEEP IT UP
Caribdis
Thank you! 0.7 is expected to be released in Q1/2024, yes, and the final version I don't know yet, but there are still a few updates left!
Michael LuPayne
I've gone a good way into "Once in a Lifetime" now it's pretty darn good honestly tho the graphics are due for a remastering.......but it's an engrossing story & interesting characters.......🤗😁
Charles Harter
I guess that means we are entering the meat course of the story.
Nalim27
Oh I did 2 mistakes yesterday with this game: 1. First one was that I was curious and finally just wanted to look how this game is looking and what it is about. I goto bed at 4 a.m. completely hooked up. 2. Second is that I can't stop now, but I must wait till finished release at least one or 1.5 years.... that is bad for me. Or maybe the best will be to delete the game now, stop progress in the story and enjoy it when it will be finished. Please help! :-) But you are doing a really good job. P.S: 0.7 will be released in Q1/2024 I suppose? And 1.0 during 2025?
Renye
Eternum makes me addicted.It is absolutely a perfect artwork!I can't wait to play version 0.7 anymore.🥰
milan milo
The only adult game that I've enjoyed the story line is Eternum. The characters look amazing and love to see their animations more frequently 👌 keep up the quality work
Caribdis
Of course there is!
Caribdis
I won't spoil anything 🤐 Keep an eye out for future sneak peeks to know more!
Caribdis
Thanks Gamer :D
Caribdis
Thank you James! <3
Caribdis
Thank you so much!!
DigDugDog
I heard a disturbing rumor that Nova could be "skipped" in the next update.....I fear that this would scar her psychologically and I cannot allow it....lol......but seriously is the One Piece date not coming this update?
Sanjuro
As a Nova fan, was wondering if any more content is planned for her. Keep up the great work!
Anon
So hyped!!
Gamer
Your post always has me excited for it. Love Once In A Lifetime and I am loving Eternum
wqqhyhy
I am looking forward to it very much
James Mick
I have to choose between my favorite two ladies??? Oh no....... Keep up the masterful work! I concur with previous comments, each woman is endearing in their own unique way. I would love to have even one friend like any of them in real life. Alas....
Michael LuPayne
given how much i like Eternum :) i'm wiling to give it a chance :)
Linkage
This is one game where I don't want to miss out on the harem playthrough. Every girl is perfect in their own way. I will play every decision and juice every frame with the highest appreciation!
mubaba
Can we get a President Stabb reference in the next update?
Myriad
That reminds me........ where Stabby Mike at?
Guy
Keep up the good work. You're my favorite, btw. Great humor (I love Luna and her dad), interesting story, characters that actually have... well, character, in terms of being decent people inside. You have real talent for writing and visuals both.
Caribdis
Thank you Ricardo <3
Caribdis
Thanks! He's certainly improving in my eyes too!
Caribdis
Keep in mind it was my first game, so it's a little rough, specially in the beginning! Sorry about it!
Caribdis
Thank you Snip!! Haha a different engine makes a Mike cameo hard, unfortunately xD
Ricardo
"You won't get rid of me so easily 😎" Neither will you from us!! 😁 Really excited to see what you got in store for us ❤️
Logan
Will your vampire arc involve turning one of the girls? that would be hot
Babadook
Hoping we finally go all the way with Dalia, I'm obsessed with her. Keep it up, Caribdis!
Abraham A Izaguirre
I just want a good penny scene 🥹
Michael LuPayne
Ahh I wasn't aware of it, ty I'll look it up :)
Rannell
The AVN he made before this
Morten
Very much looking forward to it. Think the most impressive thing about Eternum is the fact Orion doesn't look like a turd, considering how bad the male character creation in HS is. You're a wizard
Michael LuPayne
Once in a Lifetime ??
snip_cz
Hey Cari, great to hear from you! You sure know how to generate hype and channel the good vibes. :] I can only concur with what others mentioned - your game is definitely worth waiting for, so please, go at your own pace and make sure to take care of yourself first. We'll be here for the long run. That said, very excited for the new episode! P.S.: Speaking of OiaL, when is Mike making a cameo (or comeback)? :D
1WingedSoldier
Ahhhhh so excited!! You're the best Cari! ❤️
qwep qwep
HOOOO man. Big excite
Caribdis
Thank you Andre!
Andre 3000
This game is mind blowing. It transcends the AVN genre for me. Please take as much time as you need!
Caribdis
My pleasure!
Caribdis
Happy to hear that!! Thank you!
Caribdis
THANK YOU ASAEL 😍😍😍 YES! I'm the one who has to thank you, even if you say otherwise 😆
Caribdis
Thank you Jeremiah <3

Pretty sure I just grabbed the APK and put it in a folder I could find it on my phone. I use Astro for phone file management. I think you need a developer option of "install apks from other sources" checked in settings. Then find the APK and install. In theory it should work from there, but I assume you'd have to have decent hardware. I was previously on the top RAM Galaxy Note 9 and now on Galaxy S23 Ultra. I saw errors when trying to view the "text message" pictures, but ran quite smoothly outside of that.
cardboard_city
I’m already nervous about the choices but excited that it’ll open up different possibilities = more game. Thanks, Cari!
Asael M.
Mangers, how were you able to download for Android? I have been trying and all I get is a blacked out screen. Can I bother you for a little assistance Please 🙏
althea124
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas
Mangetsu
Ahhhhhhh... Too hyped! Cari already knows, but I just finished playing an entire new playthrough on Android for a new phone. Amazing experience and I can't wait for 0.7. Waiting for AVN updates is nothing new, but it is WAY harder for your favorites. And Eternum is at the top of my list!
Asael M.
Your thanking Us Caribdis? No, No, No, We thank You!!! We love your dedication and especially All of your work. You Never have to apologize for anything. Without you, this would be a regular AV game that most would just use it for 1 thing, and then forget about it. Caribdis, you have created 2 of the Best AV games ever. Your mental, and physical health is very important to us all. Your timing on this 2nd Masterpiece is what created your current fan base, and it will only increase from here. Please take your time, and remember that old but true saying. "Good things come to those who wait" We will ALWAYS STAY BY YOUR SIDE!!!
Jeremiah Gigremosa
I’m looking forward to it. Love all the work you do Cari.
Caribdis
Glad you think that!

Caribdis
Glad to see you back, Touhara! Thank you ❤️
Caribdis
Thank you Joy 🥰🥰
Joy
I will be here supporting you for a long run, so please take your your time. Good to know you are prioritizing your mental health. The quality of Eternum is marvelous, and if it takes more for a worthy update then it is totally deserved and much better than a rushed update which may not be up to quality. Anyways I trust you on your quality delivery so I am willing to wait <3
Touhara Kiminonawa
Hey! Thanks for the report! Always love seeing Luna <3 I was absent for a month due to issues, but I'm back! Great job and looking forward for more! *hype Luna route*
Messè
I love these extended status updates. Really shows how in depth your development process goes! I cannot wait for new wallpapers, polls and other goodies planned throughout December and onwards! Of course we are sticking with you! You are awesome!!! And a beautiful person, too! 🤗❤️🥰❤️🤗🥰
Todo
WHO THE GOAT, WHO THE GOAT 🗣️🗣️🗣️ Cant wait, love u cari take care
Jagage
Best girl Luna hype \o/
Michael Johnson
Eagerly awaiting the update but as always work at your pace because regardless im excited!
tissle78
Oh god, more decisions where I'm gonna freak out and don’t know which one to stick to for my main playthrough. :panic:
RMZ
Bagel vs Brownie was already hard enough, now this? 😱 Can't wait to play both paths ❤️
Puck Lee
So glad to hear from you Carib. I may not be as active on Discord or Patreon like before (work has been getting busier and busier) but my support for you has never wavered and I am always holding out for more news from you. Keep up the good work!
John Hall
Looking good. I'm glad you won't be risking your mental health by trying to adopt an unrealistic schedule. I have a nasty feeling that a lot of Patreon game developers have made that mistake and, although it may have meant that their game progressed faster in the short term, it was bad for both them and their game in the longer term.
Horn nii-san
Excited!
DuDu
In my opinion it’s worth the wait. In the meantime, you can play Eternum again and again and it gets better and better. Plus each time you notice the details in the background. Can't wait just follow your pace. <3
Jameson Huddle
All the updates are precious!
Twisted Wine
Great report Cari! Thanks a lot and wow is my anticipation building now.
Christopher Tate
That 😈 is not at all suspicious, nope. Not one bit....
Eduardo de Aquino Médici
Happy that you said haren path is still a thing. Once in a life time had a beautiful ending in the harem path. And the possibility of choices with different outcomes that don't affect the harem gives a good spice
The 3rd
Can't wait!!!
