I will preface this with saying I am waiting to play Eternum. I would hope this is better than Once in a Lifetime. As is, you could see the improvements throughout it, and this is meant to be bigger than it lol. So it's great to hear that Caribdis is still improving on an already great foundation :D

Oh it's so much better than his first definitely give it a go I'll just say this be prepared for a cliffhanger

that is exactly why I am choosing to wait lmao. I just tried this one called Realm Invader that only has 2 "episodes" currently. A lot of comments were positive, and saw one compare it to Caribdis, so I gave it a go. I want more xD. And I know if I just jump into Eternum now ima be big sadge when I hit the end of the current content instead of the whole story like I did with OiaL. I know it's *roughly* 80% ish done. So I can wait a bit longer, play the whole thing, then drop money on Caribdis again like I did with the prior game lol. Really glad to hear he's improved so much, makes me look forward to it :D

No it isn't 80% done. It's going to go beyond 10 updates, with the latest estimate around 12-14 updates total by the end. So we're still about 50-60% done with the main story if the estimates hold up.

I say 80% ish because it's at 0.8 atm. Once it hits 1.0 is usually when story is classed as "finished" then any updates or add-ons after that are like 1.1 1.2 etc

It will definitely go past 1.0 there's too much that can happen still 😉 and realm invaders is awesome! Almost all the good ones have a bit to go story wise.

I can dig a good story. Having a reason to like characters, or even dislike characters, can really change the whole feel of various scenes and events. These few that not only do very well with the writing but also the looks and animations? Absolute gems, the lot of them.

That's...that's not how Cari plans to do it though. He mentioned on Discord that the next version after 0.9 is 0.10., and the naming will likely continue to 0.11 and so forth until he finishes the story. Only then will it get marked as 1.0.

since it's been a minute, I launched OiaL again to double check. It's version 0.10 lol. So ya, he will probably continue adding it up as 0.10 and above. Go figure.
