Hey Caribdis, I hope you see this. I wanted to ask if you're considering making a SFW version of the game, where the sex scenes are not explicit. I wanted to recommend this game to some of my friends but I know they won't like it because of those scenes. I tried recommending this game to my girlfriend but she doesn't wanna play it since it has porn in it, but she asked me if this game has a non-explicit version because from what I told her she was very interested.
You're not the first who's bringing this up. I'm not sure what Cari's stance is on this this, maybe he'll follow up on it later. I would say that the "adult" part of Eternum is deeply interwoven into the game and while someone surely could make adjustments to supress it, it would produce a shadow of the original experience.
It's a bit like the discussion of adding an easy mode to Dark Souls. There surely is some demand for it, but I doubt that the original creator will ever step up and do it himself. This one will prbly be up to the community to do if demand is high enough.
About your girlfriend, I have heard of a lot of people who had played Eternum with their girlfriends. It is targeted at men but also unusually popular with women, so maybe you can convince her to give it a shot, with an open mind. Maybe this video can help. Though be warned, girls usually like gay AVNs and you might be asked to reciprocate :)
I don't think it will necessarily produce a worse experience. By toning down the scenes I meant not showing full penetration, just like they do in the movies with 18+ rating. Also i'm gonna show this video to my girlfriend, i'm sure she will like the game but she just refuses to because of porn :'), i hope this video will convince her.
