Q&A: Ask your questions!
🕑 Added 2024-08-08 11:05:09 +0000 UTCHello everyone!!!
I hope everyone's having a wonderful August! 😎
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This month, I wanted to try something a little different for my best supporters!
I often receive questions across various platforms, and while many of you might already know me, understand how the game is made, and have an idea of my future plans for Eternum and beyond, there are still plenty of you who might not be in the loop—especially if you're new or not part of the Discord community.
So, I thought it would be cool to make a Q&A post where you can ask any questions you have!
I already have a few questions lined up, but feel free to drop any others you'd like to know in the comments below! I'll gather questions from here, Subscribestar, and even from DMs or Discord, if you prefer, and after some time, I'll put together another post with all the answers!
I was mostly thinking of stuff related to the game, its development, or its future, but feel free to ask about anything else as well! Questions like "What's your favorite [something]?" are totally fine, although I won't be answering anything too personal, of course 😗
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In other news, development is still progressing smoothly (though not as quickly as I'd like, I'm giving it my all!) and YES! You can expect new Sneak Peeks by the end of the month, so... stay tuned!!!
And that's all for now!
Have a wonderful day, and thank you for being the best community ever 🥹
Love you all 💗

Do you have any recommendations for story study materials? Have you read books that you feel have helped you further understand story structure or character development, such as Robert McKee's Story or similar works? (Thank you for making great inspirations)

Alright, multiple questions from me, because I can't decide on a single one to ask: What part of Eternum development do you struggle most/least with? Do you speak spanish? (asking because of Luna) What music genre(s) do you enjoy personally? If it's something we haven't seen used in Eternums music yet, would you like to eventually fit a song from that genre into Eternum or a future game? Do you think of Annie as someone with a british accent?

During the process of playing Eternum, I noticed that there was a picture of two MCs standing face to face in the scene when MC had a headache. Is this the purpose of the item they obtained from the collector, or is it the key to the resurrection of MC in version 0.7.
Khouserv
Are you planning on keeping a seven-girl standard going forward?
Renye
About the final version of Eternum? 1.5,2.0 or just infinite!(just joking hh) To be honest, I really don't want to say that day to come early.
Caribdis
Keep playing future updated to discover it 😌

How is babby formed?
Jorge C.
What does a day-in-the-life of Caribdis look like?
Gamshino
Do you plan on making more games after eternum ? How many ?
Michael Witton
Where does your user name come from and how the heck do you say it?
NOLLOAT
What's your favorite piece of cut content you didn't add to the game (didn't fit thematically, clashed with lore, etc.)
Twisted Wine
Did you have any literary studies or previous experience with creative writing before you started OiALT? (a simple Yes or No is fine here to avoid getting too personal)
Logan
Have you thought about having characters from once in a lifetime make a cameo in eternum
Ryker
As many others have noted the music choices are amazing and fit the mood so well. How much of your time is spent just searching for and listening to new music? Do you have a rough idea how many you have listened to that did not make the cut?
Messè
What is your favorite Eternum server? And why? ^.^
Dovinya
How did you settle on the archetypes of girls you wanted to put in your game and how did you further their development into such memorable characters?
Shiftlock
1: Maybe is foolish to ask will the story is gonna be divided in like seasons and things like that? 2: in terms of % how much is done of the story and how? much you think is left?
N. Nasky
Can there be a Yu-Gi-Oh reference with Nova or would Konami or whoever owns the rights of it come after you if you put a reference in Caribdis?
Morten
Have you ever thought about sharing guides/tips on Honey Select showcasing how you made your characters and making scenes in studio neo? Maybe even share your modlist? Keep up the amazing work :)
Roc
Disney's got this animated film called Brave. Why does it always seem like Nova is just like its main character? Was it inspired by her? It looks like her hairstyle is also showing a change in her personality bit by bit. But to me, her curly hair is more Nova. Will we see her with curly hair in normal and sexy scenes in the future?
Kalkath80
Probably been asked before, but what made you put your considerable talent towards writing AVNs instead of novels, short stories etc?
voiD
Are you characters inspired by anyone or anything? Do you have the entire story fleshed out already or just creating it as you go? What inspired you to create visual novels?
David
What is your credit card number, name on the card, expiration date, and the 3 digit security code on the back? Just kidding, in all seriousness, are you open to collaborating with another dev in the future to develop a game?
Shltr
Two questions: 1. How long does it take you to make a render on average? 2. How many updates do you believe will be enough for you to tell the whole story and finish the game?
ScrubCabbage
Do you have any intentions to port your games to Steam? I feel like your games blow away the competition (not that it's necessarily a competition)
kainan
Do you have any tips to future devs(like me teehee)
