Hello everyone!

I hope everyone is doing great!

It is time for a first progress update about Eternum's development!As I mentioned in previous posts, 0.5 will focus on "real life" events, where our MC will take some time to disconnect from Eternum. However, there will be a lot of events waiting for you (both group scenes and solo time with your favorite girls) that I'm sure you'll love!I prefer not to say anything specific to avoid spoilers of any kind, but you can imagine the situations we'll run into looking at the sneak peeks as always 😁

There are, as of this writing, almost 400 renders done, with their corresponding dialogues and code. In the last poll I saw that, in general, you like the current schedule, so you can expect updates as big as usual (+1100-1200 renders).

There's also something else I wanted to share with you, and it is that I'm gonna get someone to join my one-man team! Specifically, to help with the animations of the game, which is one of the most time-demanding parts of its development. 

This should reduce my workload a bit, which hopefully will result, in the long term, in more polished animations (and more of them per update), renders, sound design, and overall game mechanics. 

I know this was supposed to be the next goal on Patreon, but even if we didn't reach the number, I decided to anticipate it. Maybe we will never reach it, or maybe we'll go beyond it allowing me to expand the team even more. Time will tell, but well... nothing ventured nothing gained!My ultimate goal always has been, and always will be, to try to make the best game that I am able to make 💪🏻

I'd be lying if I said that I haven't been feeling a little bit overwhelmed developing the game lately, constantly trying to meet my self-imposed expectations. 

You have no idea how much your support helps and means to me. Each one of you here decided to financially support this project and believe in me, and that's something that I'll never be able to repay you. 

Thank you for being here, guys.I really mean it 💗Anyway! I'll stop here before getting too sappy 😆Remember that my DMs are ALWAYS open if you need to ask me anything!Stay tuned because I'll soon post more info, previews, and juicy wallpapers!

Stay awesome!!!

Love ya

Thanks for the insight in the future of the project. I’m confident it will be epic! Love you more! 😍🥰

Mangetsu

I can't lie and say I wouldn't want each update sooner! That being said, besides 2 other games, I look forward to your updates the most, but I can and will wait for your level of quality and story! As with most of my favorites, it's "I came for the porn, but stayed for the story." And I can't wait to see where ETERNUM goes from here! Make sure to take breaks, hydrate, and provide yourself enough time to take care of yourself first! Very excited for 0.5 and seeing what is in store next for everyone, and finishing off that point where 0.4 left off. PS: Will we see Dalia back in her sexy twintail braids again? :D

Lorrdy

Nice to see you getting help. You don't need to manage that all alone.

Josuééé

Keep up the great work, but most importantly, take care of yourself 🫂.

No matter what, I will always support you. Don't forget that you have a very, very many fans in China at any time. Maybe many of them can't support you on Patreon like me, but they all like your works. Eternam has always been a masterpiece in our eyes! Come on, also remember to take care of yourself!

Touhara Kimino

Congrats on the new recruit! I hope this development brings you all the good things!

Glad to see you decided to get some help to alleviate your workload. Seems a wise and good choice to me. :-)

Gamer

Thank you for all the hard work you've been doing. As always I am always impressed by your hard work and dedication. Just thanks 👍

ShaneDucharmeMusic

Thanks for the update and congrats on the first team expansion! Looking forward to the next chapter of this amazing story and whatever future games you create. Thank you for your hard work!

Puck Lee

Sappy is good. It's what's getting the MC the girls! I knew when I first finished OiaLT and Eternum 0.3 that this was a creator that wouldn't disappoint and you have not failed me. The fact you're willing to hire more help for the game even when you haven't reached the next goal just shows how serious you are about this game. Your dedication to your work is just amazing. I wasn't sure whether to mention this but a few months ago, someone made a Korean translation of Once in a Lifetime (and did a really good job at it) and uploaded it on a Korean website similar to F95zone. And let me tell you, the reviews were phenomenal. Everyone is considering it their Game of a Lifetime. They love the jokes, they love the characters, and they love the story. Since then, I contacted the person, and after discovering our shared love of your work, we began working on the Korean translation of Eternum (my teammate working on translation and me working on proofreading and image editing). We wanted to make it as close to the official version as possible, and now after working on it for couple months, it's nearly done. We've been posting progress reports (like this one) and everyone is just dying to get their hands on it. Obviously, there's no profits involved and we just hope it'll help you gain more supporters that you deserve. Maybe we'll even get to show you some parts of it once it's done. Anyway, I have complete faith that you'll be able to reach you Patron end goal and know that your game, its story and its characters are rewards enough for me. My eternal gratitude as always.

Khouserv

Thank you for being so damn consistent and hard working, I'm incredibly excited to see what you and your new teammate come up with ❤️

RMZ

Of course brother❤️ You deserve all the support you're getting

Charles S

Started playing AVNs a couple of months ago (now I'm addicted lol) and came across OiaLT, have to say I was very impressed and enjoyed it thoroughly ... but Eternum? This could end up being a masterpiece. Don't want to leave the game, or the game within the game. Keep it up, you have my support. Can't wait for 0.5 to come out. Good luck.

dmfox

Aww shucks, don’t get too sappy now, I’m still awaiting the day you give us an update without it ending on a cliffhanger.

Horn nii-san

Say Again

Take you time and tell your best story but hurry up, dammit!! ;) Patiently/eagerly awaiting the next chapter.

ElPolloAssasin98 :3

Gotta say, there has been a lot of people in patreon that i wanted to support, but due to lack of money i never had been capable of. But your project it's definitly worth to support, even though i only pay 3 euros. You're awesome, keep it up mate.

Sim

Love the game! We're here because of you and the great work and care you put into the game and if I can speak for the rest of us, we've also kind of grown to like you as well!

Lugato

Great that you will have someone to take some weight of your shoulder! I know the next update is gonna be just as good if not better than all the past ones. Don't overwork yourself, we have time. Thank you as always for the great universe you are sharing with us! ❤️

Caribdis

Haha I'll go as fast as I can

Caribdis

Any amount helps, thank you so much!!

Caribdis

Thank you Sim, I'm happy to hear that 💗

Caribdis

Thank you Lugato 💗 I'm happy that you guys enjoy this universe I created!

Bob Clancy

I am absolutely blown away by everything in this game. The writing is HILARIOUS at times, sweet in others, and eeeeeever so spicy too. I mean the sheer level of style in the story making is fantastic. Don't even get me started on the renders, oh my god. The character models are *chefs kiss*. I really like the varied outfits each wears. The environments and sound design are brilliant as well. I think a lot of developers really skip on the sound, but you've really done a great job. Found this on itch.io and after playing for a bit had to come and back the project. Keep up the amazing work, I fully look forward to what the future brings :)

Krycholos

I hope you find someone as talented and dedicated as you to help you! Keep up the good work, can't wait for the next update! TEAM NOVA/LUNA FOR THE WIN!

Riidher66776

There are many really good stories out there, however, Eternum is Number One in my humble opinion. You have set a very high standard that will be very hard to beat. Thank you for your dedication and attention to detail.

Zapo

Hey, that's the story of my life too, I came across a lot of great projects, but this is the first one I decided to support financially. Nothing to regret, no doubts! Definitely worth it!

Daodaoka

I am your old fan since once in a life time!I really feel happy to see you get new crew in your team!I know doing the game needs a lot of work. So I hope more teammates can reduce your workload and maybe faster release of the game

Caribdis

Thank for such a great comment, Bob! I appreciate it a lot ♥️

Caribdis

That means a lot, thank you so much!!

Caribdis

I hope so too, thank you Daodaoka!

Daniel

Haha! You repay me every update!!! Love the work you do, glad you’ll be getting some much deserved help!

Sailadun

You don’t need to stress brother we support you, you have already blessed us with “Once in a lifetime “

K0TT0N3Y3J03

YOU ARE WORTH EVERY PENNY! Seriously one of my top 3 favorite games rn! keep up the great work

SharlaJnk

Something you could do in the future is make the bodies in the menu with all the girls animated, like an idle animation. Might be a lot of work, there are a bunch of ways to do it. Love the game so far, and i can't wait till next update. Thanks so much! Take all the time you need, no matter what you think, the work you're putting shows.

DERP

You create some serious top notch stuff man, god knows that takes a lot time and effort, take care of yourself man and looking forward for what you come up next.

梅林

Why can't I see your follower count?

Caribdis

No idea, it's public as always

fortunefish

I'm a pretty avid book reader and don't usually care about story in video games in general because it's just never as good as a book. Your game is one of the few exceptions. I binge read the hell out of it. The nsfw scenes are probly some of the best I've seen, but I honestly didn't even stop to admire them at all. I was always so hooked on the story I didn't want to stop. Thanks for the great game. It'll be torture waiting for the full game to be released, but take extra time to relax and take breaks because it shows that you're putting way more effort than is normal into this.

Caribdis

I will! Thank you very much, fortune <33

Patreon's a bit of an oddball with that. If you're a patron it redirects you to the posts where I don't think it's visible. I tried incognito mode/logging out and looking at the main page (https://www.patreon.com/onceinalifetime) and I could see it there.
