April's progress + Poll
Hi everyone,
It’s time to take a look together at the progress on the next major update of Goodbye Eternity, the rework of Asami’s Love route, and the bad endings.
Turns out I wrote a lot more than I expected, so we’re also getting a full rework of the game’s intro. Before Asami’s route even begins, there are new events, new interactions, and overall it should feel more coherent and much nicer to read.
We’ll finally have CGs for the intro as well. I’ve been wanting to do that for a long time to replace that painfully dull black screen.
The intro is now twice as long, and Asami’s Love route will be three times longer than the original. There won’t be just one but two NSFW timelapses with her, along with new skins for Asami and Noriko, plus a few other surprises. In short, there’s a lot of content coming.
As for the bad endings, how did you feel about your choices or mistakes having real consequences? Was it too harsh, or maybe not as bad as you expected? I’ve had quite a bit of feedback from people saying they’d like CGs to illustrate the bad endings. Is that something you’d want us to add?
This is the kind of poll where if at least 75% of you aren’t on board, we won’t go forward with it. I’d rather have strong support than split the community. Personally, I’m in favor of it. It hits harder than a long block of text.
I’ll leave you with a small preview of what’s coming, and see you soon for the release of version 0.14.

I think it's enough to add a bad ending switch. The minority obeys the majority, 74% and 75% are similar, and the choice is given to the player himself.
It's too late for my subscription. I want to vote cg one vote. What's the result now?
I think since we have made a bad ending, why not just make cg? It's not mandatory. It's all the players' choice.
Just leave this here: light with no dark is blinding yet dark without light is an abyss
I'm in full support for having CG's for bad endings. The text only scenes just doesn't hit as hard, especially if I have to go out of my way to get to the bad ending parts. Not to mention text only always felt like it's a lower effort placeholder instead of a finished product in a game that has CG's for everything else.
I was disappointed when I saw a wall of text, and I would like Cg's for the bad endings. And I dont think you should hold back for them. But it probably should be optional (toggle at start of game) otherwise you would probably be pushing close to a game like euphoria and I can almost guarantee people will have problems with that.
I think that in the game all paths should get CG, both good and bad ones.
Even if you do, I wouldn't spend too much time on it. Just a few still frames that get the idea across.
The CG for bad endings should definitely be done. But I agree that it must be an option, like a third choice when u're at the game over screen : "read what happened" / "Go back" / "See what happened (CG)". It could be a good thing to let the player choose
There should definitely be a toggle to turn them off for people who are very opposed, but they should definitely exist
I mean, we might as well go all the way if they’re already in the game...
Shouldn’t a content-rich work include CGs for both good and bad endings? Even if some people might not like the bad endings, the content that needs to be there still has to be included, right? Otherwise, it wouldn’t cater to all kinds of players. Anyway, I just want to see more lewd CGs—CGs of every possible taste.
I wish there was an option for "I don't care". Btw, that Asami teaser looks adorable.
Personally, any improvement to other content is fine as well
already with the CGs in the bad endings they are going to be more interesting to watch
I just wonder what kind of cg's the bad endings would entail
Bad endings for the win
