Hi. thank you for such an unexpected but really good release. I do not know how many updates and content you want to add eventually, but I will start with what I consider important and does not require much improvement in terms of gameplay /plot/ graphics:
- As you noted earlier, adding saves anywhere, but I would like their number to be large or conditionally unlimited. That is, a list / table with numbers in which you can scroll forward or backward as much as you like (as in some large-scale renpai games). Not 3 as it is now and not 8-10 as it was in the arena, but more.
- I would like to see a gallery with open art and endings, perhaps character costumes. This would really be a great option, because it's much easier to understand which path the player has not tried yet or which picture has not been opened. It would be great if it was placed on the main menu page.
- A small note about who was the artist of the characters/scenes. This is causing some confusion now, because the credits only talk about backgrounds, not scenes, which I think are too well made for AI, but still this question raises my doubts. I want to believe that people will not have any prejudices about graphics of such a good level, even if it is made with the help of AI.
I also want to note that the added task log is just a miracle, no less. I went through the arena, a very good game, starting from the gameplay, ending with graphics and locations, but I really lacked something like that, I know that some of the tasks were marked in the menu, but not all of them brought cg and I had to run back and forth to get another piece, which made the game seem delayed.
If we talk about something not much, as it seems to me, large-scale:
- You can add a stream option, for example, when the whole family goes to church, Anna and the main character stay at home and turn on the stream.
- Adding more messages to the system, for example congratulations on the subscribers achieved (25, 50, 100, 150 ... thousand), seems like a small thing, but personally I would be pleased to see something like this, reinforces the feeling of progress in the game. Perhaps a certain top of the best content creators in Starmaker (number of subscribers, approximate income), that is, too, so that the player better understands how successful his profile is.
- It is possible to add some new features to Starmaker (which open as subscribers increase), which may lead to new events or endings (for example, something like corporate slavery when you reach the top of the Starmaker rating and fulfill a condition/buy an item)
- It is possible to add some personal chats in which, at the beginning of their career, particularly zealous subscribers will ask for nudity for money (for example, a shower scene, a torn swimsuit ...), that is, use the graphics that are already in the game, which is easy to get somewhere in the middle, but difficult at the beginning. This can also include the addition of some new scenes to meet the requirements (for example, the sleeping Anna to bare her breasts / pubis ...)
- It is possible to sell images of other girls, just so it will be possible to fill the gallery. To some extent, this may simplify the game, but you can greatly lower the prices.
- It is possible to add a profile for each girl, where only her photos will appear and when receiving the ending, some post with a small message and a picture.
Here I have collected some more voluminous ideas. I understand that they are more difficult to implement and, in principle, are likely to be skipped, but I liked the theme of the game itself and I just want to talk about what I think could make it more interesting.:
- The option I was thinking about when I installed the game was choosing a heroine from several, as it was in the arena. I do not know why, but reading the description, I thought that it would be the same here. Therefore, the first idea would be. Adding a few more initial heroines, as it was in arenus. Not the expansion of Laura and the creation of several more families with a problem, but the replacement of the heroine with another, with excellent appearance and character. For example, of a different nationality or broader views (that is, let's say it will be possible to get naked earlier, but much later to start having sex). In principle, this will require enough effort to redraw / finish the art and write dialogues, but it will give more variability to the game.
- Expanding the pool of traits, for example, adding the tag "not a virgin", only after obtaining which you can advance the creation of content for Starmaker. That is, to expand the list of possible events / characters, such as a gangster demanding money.
- Maybe something like an ending constructor. That is, not to be limited to just one girl with whom everything worked out, but to tell about others. Something like an invitation to the house, after which another piece of text will be added (for example, the ending of Anna + the ending of phoenix, where the three of them live)
In the end, I would like to note that I understand that adding and creating new content is a time-consuming process, but I liked the idea and implementation of the game itself, so I brought so many different options and I still have a few more ideas for each category that seem interesting to me, but since I do not know how many you developers, would you like to add more content and if someone else besides me likes the options already described, then that's all for now. If someone is really interested in this, then you can leave a comment and I would continue.
