Makes me hope he comes back and just focuses on a single branch at a time.

Okay, that's exciting. From the looks of it, chapter 2 will be quite a lot larger than chapter 1, assuming that there will be a few other jobs like the tavern questline in it, which i am excited to see. Seems like each job alone will be comparable to the amount of scenes and gameplay of chapter 1. Actually, typing that made me think. Since chapter 1 was so linear compared to y'alls plans for chapter 2, and the scope for it is so much smaller, wouldn't it be more fitting to call chapter 1 a prologue rather than a full on chapter? It is mostly world building after all.

So, I just finished the current content and had a question. So far, this seems to be a linear story, with no player choice. I was wondering if there will be dialogue options in the future, with branching dialogue paths, or even a branching story? The game plays like it's designed to be an rpg eventually, but is structured narratively as a more of a linear VN. So I'm just a bit confused as to what your vision is for it's future.

Wow, I finished the current content and then went to play Once in a Lifetime. OiaL was a good AVN, but holy crap, man. The jump in quality of all aspects between OiaL and Eternum is insane. I've played a lot of AVNs at this point and honestly, only Being a Dik manages to be on the same level as Eternum so far. I just cant wait for more.

Being a Dick is up there for #1 spot with Eternum for me. Can't go into why its so great without spoiling the 1st playthrough experience, but it fundamentally changed the way i viewed adult VNS. Went in for a wank, and left with a crisis of conscience. The characters are unmatched in terms of believability.

Just finished the current version.  Honestly among the top 3 adult VN I've played. Tied with Being a Dik for #1. This one doesn't have the same emotional drama, but getting a relatively drama free harem route is great too. And the action and story are great. I'm floored for the next update, the ending of this version has me desperate to see more.  I hope it wont be too much longer for the next update, I need to see the rest of the story! Also when is our favorite elf going to get an official spot in the "girls" screen?!

I've done all that but it I don't have any options to progress.

No night mischief and nothing happens when I rest or talk to anyone.

So I've trained and battled the knight captain, given 2000g to the shopkeep, and done the church puzzle sequence.

I go to my cell and don't have an option for more night mischief. I have passes several days going everywhere and talking to everyone but I can't seem to progress to chapter 5. Am I missing something?

Green ones seem to be locked as of now. As for the children, you have to progress to a higher love rating(more hearts), and I think you need to be in act 2.

I'm so excited for 0.20.1!

Thanks for taking my feedback on the dialogue around the kids in act 3 seriously!

I'm definitely going to be replaying act 3 from the beginning to experience all the recent changes from a fresh run.

Thanks for your hard work, Arc. You're a legend. 

I know we can't have spoilers on her recovery, but can we have an option to give her a kiss and/or hug?
She's earned some wholesome affection.

and I need to sooth my guilt. 

She was my least favorite during act 2 cause of her clinginess, and now I just feel like such an asshole whenever I see her.

Gotcha, Glad to hear it! I really like the new direction with the combat system. With some more abilities and upgrade options, I think it will have the potential to be challenging and fun, while suiting the style of the game much better than the old combat. Well done, man.

Is the change of the war map going to be permanent, or is it temporary while you rework the districts?

I was really disappointed by the change. Though the function is basically the same, the old presentation made if feel way cooler. It gave a better understanding of the city's layout, and felt more strategic somehow.

Bad ass! Thanks man!

Just a few more days. I can't wait.

Judging by his past posts and my past experiences as a DM for D&D, i'd say he had a rough outline for most of the story, mostly consisting of big events and themes for each of the acts. Its likely vague at first, allowing for the evolution of the story as new ideas come. As development catches up to the outline, things are solidified and flushed out in more detail.

Believe me, I can't wait for more content. I've been checking in every few days for the last week trying to see if anything has dropped.

I completely understand that you're a one man team, and certain things take priority. I did not mean to say that the dialogue issues were urgent. I just wanted to bring it to your attention as something that could be improved upon when there is time to focus on such things.

This game is already great, and has the potential to be much more. I eagerly anticipate what you have in store for us the coming months.

Finally, what is the best way to support your work on the game?

Just finished the available content in act 3 and was so disappointed it came to an end. I've had a blast with this game. So many characters are just precious. I was even surprised by how much I ended up caring about Gwen. Who up till the end of act 2 I kind of saw as annoying.

I have a few critiques and bug reports.

I encountered a bug in act 2 that made impregnating Kana impossible until I used a superfertility potion. I only had an issue with Kana, and she was also the only time I had a chance to impregnate someone before unlocking the nexus, and the daycare.(maybe the bug is related to triggering pregnancy before those are unlocked?)

Now, for act 3 I noticed a few things with the dialogue that threw me off. First is that the human characters of the East wing aren't really brought up(except for one, very briefly). So I'm still unsure as to who is still in the manor. Second is that none of my baby mama's brought up our kids, not even the MC mentions the kids, which totally threw my out of my immersion. Instead of focusing on what what happening, all I could think about was what happened to the youngins, and why none of these mothers seemed even slightly concerned about their kids. I think the intro to act 3 really needs a few lines of dialogue added where the MC asks about the kids and members of the East Wing.
