Hi, I'm not relatively new to this page but this is the first instance that I stopped being lazy for a moment and decided to post something here.

I'm not sure if these things I will mention were already requested/suggested, but I'll go ahead post mine here:

1. Can we get some sort of gallery or a page where the profile for each characters is displayed, thing like their name, age, sizes, and kinks are listed, some sort of card collection would be a nice touch. It's getting hard to keep every character in mind, additional feature would be adding in their old model/design.

2. Can we have an option to turn off the futa features, I do understand that you're trying to incorporate other sexual orientation and that the futa characters are "optional" for the game, but please do understand that some of us here also like try and complete the game by having to "Interact" with all the possible options without seeing bulging genitals from them seemingly female companions.

3. Can we have some sort of "booty call" option for the game, like if you already managed to finish their route and "interact" with them, you can have their number or something so you can call on them, maybe to your room or the hotel, to have some additional content/fun. Seems like a waste that we need to wait for a specific day and time of the week to "interact" with them, no?

4. Can we also have a feature in which we will now what route to take or what routes will be locked once we choose a decision? A simple warning would be nice, for example, the police chick, I always choose to arrest a certain individual resulting to me not viewing certain scenes what I did not know I was missing out on. A warning could nice, not just some A Route over B Route sign in their conversation.

5. Can we add another attribute for the MC, a Funny trait seems a suitable one, as being Funny in real life can open new avenues. You can even add additional content for some other female characters that will find MC likeable by being funny and add additional scenes for that.

6. Can we have a better organized Starmaker page for Anna, like since you're the one managing it, can you at least have his photoshoots organize and have labels, as far as memory serves, you can only scroll through the page and check on the scenes or costumes that you already managed to take, so having it organize would help out if you feel like making sure you have every photos available for that scene/costume.

I do have more ideas in mind, but these are the top things I would like to be addressed or brought up for now. Thank you for your exceptional work, and I do hope you could also take your time to answer or address this request of mine.

Hi
I'm just a fan, but a thing i can awser a few of your questions

1. It has already been said that the gallery, if it exists, will only be for scenes that cannot be repeated. Not to mention that the main reason why a gallery isn't a certainty is that it demands time, time that most people prefer to invest in new scenes

2. There's not much to say here; it's been said many times that this won't happen

3. That's a really cool suggestion, i would like to see it

4. I find it difficult because Dr. Mura has said several times that one of the things about the game is that "choices have consequences," and if you know the consequences, it takes away some of the essence that the developer wants it to have

5. Being funny it's part of charming

Hello there,

1. There won't be a gallery or "card collection", this is not a full "dating sim" per se, would also mean to "create" more information since not every character has everything listed and doing this for the roster would be a lot of work.

2. This won't be a feature, is has already been explained. As you said yourself the player is the one wanting to interact, the only option were this was "kind" of obligatory was Phoenix for the athletic stat and is why there's an option for her not to spot you.

3. Having specific days for the girls is a way to have something special in specific days, you can always find them at their respective places, it shows they do other things than just wait for mc to call them for sex. This will not be integrated.

4. The game gives you the choices of routes, every route has content, that's what gives replayability to the game. If a route already tells you what you get and what you lock, there is no surprise nor really feasible. And by choosing a route you should assume the other is locked. Sofia is a good example, you can do this from really early, having it says "oh this unlocks Emma at the farm" just ruins the fact of the player discovering the farm later on, and its really clear what happens if you tell the corrup governor a police woman is hunting him down.

5. There are no plans to add more attributes, most attributes are used already for either flavor text or specific things.

6. This is planned to be revisited after the full game and also to verify all needed pictures appear.

Hi Dr.

I've read your reply and here are my thoughts on it.

1. I'm not asking for a full blown gallery of each scenes for the girls you've slept with, just a one pager that displays character's image, name, age, and background to the story will suffice. Just to help keep track of all the characters and what were their involvement with the MC.

2. Of course players are the ones who wants to interact with the character within the game, that's their purpose right? To be interacted with? I'm just saying that there are type of gamers who wants to have the satisfaction of managing to complete the game, a completionist if you can call them that, without having to f*ck a person with a dick.

3. I understand the notion of having a specific day for a specific girl, that actually is a neat feature, only if there were no bugs involved or scenes where a girl is supposed to be doing something but for some reason appears on another particular place and it doesn't make sense (Anna on tuesdays where she is supposedly out for her work, then she can also be seen in the beach with her Son). Being a booty call doesn't necesarilly implies your just waiting for the MC to call you, much like we act like we don't know what they are doing during that particular day and where we can fidn them. Is that how you thinkt booty calls work in the real world? Just waiting to be called while doing nothing?

4. Okay, I'm not contesting the replayability part. No surprise sometimes is better, you know, since most of the choice here once chosen is locked. You don't want to do another run just because you mistakenly chose to arrest the governor. It's fine to put surprises, but it's also helpful for the players who don't want to be locked in a route they will think as a waste of time in the end.

5. Okay, no more attributes, got it. But can we at least have more use for the attributes that are already implemeneted in the game? lot's of other things we can add there.

6. Yeah, at least there is a plan for this. It's kind of a hassle to just scroll through the photos, I mean, Folders or web pages do exist.

Hello there,

1. As addressed before, this would require time for creating another system and information since not all characters have the information you are requesting. The community guide and the gallery drive can be used to see all characters.

2. Again, won't be done. Completionism is not something to base this of. The game is open for modding and some people already changed the futa characters with those.

3. Suggesting more content is not a solution to bugs happening. In regards to the Anna, she is not at the house until you actually pick her up from the flower shop, the beach can work the same(also, not her son). In regards to the comment about how booty calls works, I see you're taking it quite literally, the system can make it look like it is, as if it were just a list of names to go through for a scene. And is really something you can already do, just go visit the character. Your statement about Anna explains what could be wrong with this, is Himari closing the dealer to go to a booty call?

4. Decisions have consequences, and there are multiples save slots, this is not an excuse for wanting a route to tell you what it locks. The player is able to save before the decision or replay to see the other outcome, which again is the replayability part.

5. The other attributes are used for flavor text and in some cases scenes.

1. Well, that's too bad, if it's hard then it's hard then.

2. I'm sorry but I can't seem to base it off from something else. If modding is a thing for this, maybe I'll just go with that when I'm not feeling lazy.

3. Well, what I'm pointing at is "Meeting a girl on a specific time of the week because that's how it is" should work nicely only if every scene of the week makes sense. How can Anna be working in the flower shop is she could be seen in the beach with not her son Adrian? and yes, you can go to the beach first and you will see here there even though you haven't fetched her yet from work. Regarding the booty call comment, yes, I would take it quite literally, how can I say something specific and ask for a possibility if I will go round about detailing it? I was trying to suggest something that makes it a bit more realistic specially to the theme of the game where you are running a OF like account, but when it comes to actually using your phone it becomes unrealistic or unheard of. Nice example about Himari, now which is more realistic, her answering a booty call anytime of the week, or her running a car dealership by her own?

4. Well, okay, I guess saving before making a big decision now is an option, or wait, is it? huh..

5.Used for flavor text, got it, thank you for the options.

Hello there,

Since the only ones requiring follow up are 3 and 4.

3. I have already explained the concept behind which this is not implemented which is to keep the events to happen around the characters where they are doing their own thing and you go to them, instead of being a "checklist" of calling the girl for a booty call. Nobody said Himari ran the business alone, I said she wouldn't just leave her work for a booty call. And all the topic in regards to this is null since Starmaker is not a day time divided game, theres no morning-afternoon-evening, so there will always be moments where the Anna case happens. Since you need more explanation on Anna being at the beach and then at the flower shop, you can say she was taking a break. I still don't see the "booty call" for something else than... "I want more scenes in the way I want". I said it before, instead of using a phone for it it was decided to make the mc go to their locations.

4. Yes, you can just save before you do something, of course you wont know on your first playthrough but thats something thats normal. You are not supposed to know what a route has or doesnt have.
